Hi guys! So, all you comic fans, what is your favorite comic brand? This thread is just between the biggest superhero comic companies of the 50s to 80s. Marvel, and DC. Marvel Comics include: Spiderman Daredevil Hulk Captain America Captain Britian Thor The Avengers (group of heroes) Fantastic Four (another group of heroes) And a few more (which I don't remember...) DC Comics include: Superman Flash Batman Jonah Hex Captain Rock And a few more (which I don't remember...) Choose your favorite, and give me a reason why it is your favorite. Also, tell me who your favorite superhero is! Just for those who want to know, my favorite is Marvel, because it is more original and I like the artistic level of Marvel. My favorite hero is Daredevil, because I can relate to him.

While I do like Batman, his family, and his extended cast more then the majority of Marvel characters I'm going to have to go with Marvel due their emphasis on change (though not always good change) which can lend to character development as opposed to temporary changes and reversions to the status quo. The comics also seem to have a generally better sense of humor as well. I don't particularly like either Geoff Johns or Brian Bendis (who are basically the helmsmen writers of both companies at this point) but at least Bendis created "Ultimate Spider-man."

I feel insulted. Now don't get me wrong, I loooove both sides. Both comic companies encompass some of my favorite heroes (including some of my favorites: Ghost Rider, Iron Man, Captain America, Superman and Batman), as well as some of my favorite villains (to name a few: Joker, Doctor Doom, Scarecrow, Carnage and Lex Luthor). They have rich and deep catalogs of in-depth and meaningful characters, and not to mention enough spin-offs to put Final Fantasy to shame. ... but what about Dark Horse (Hellboy, Axe Cop, Conan)?

Batman. Why ? Because he doesn't have powers. /lolegoboost

Keep in mind that daredevil doesnt really have powers either, and he us blind. That is what makes him, and Marvel the best. (but DC is still cool)

Doesn't he have superhuman senses though?

I agree, Dark Horse is FREAKING AWESOME! but this debate is between the classics. Sorry! And Daredevil does have superhuman sense, but a lot of blind people have their other senses strengthened.

I have only read a few comic books from both DC and Marvel, but I have to say that Marvel is the best mostly because of the really intense storylines and amazingly graphic movies. Don't get me wrong, the Dark Knight was AMAZING, but I like Marvel's storylines better. BTW: Captain America has no powers..... My Favorite Marvel characters: Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain America, and Thor

Just letting you guys know, Marvel uses the same city and sometimes the same villians in their comics. Ex- Spiderman and Daredevil both fight Electro (but at different times). And in Marvel, they use both groups/teams of heroes (2+ heroes, like the Avengers, a full series of comics) and a single comic where a couple of heroes team up (like Daredevil and Spiderman). That is why Marvel is so much better.

DC published Watchmen; Watchmen is the greatest Comic book EVER WRITTEN ; While I generally prefer 'more' of Marvels Output than DC's - the simple fact that DC made the BEST comic EVER, means that they win! *Geek Alert* Who do you think would win out of a no-hold-barred all out brawl between ALL superheroes and villians from ALL publishers? No teaming up, no partnerships - just an all out, every man for himself brawl to the death. Anyone who shows up to that fight without some Kryptonite in their pocket deserves to have their head ripped off by Superman

Marvel FTW. Don't get me wrong.... No harm in being a big blue boyscout... But I would rather read about characters with depth. (btw just renewed my subscription to ASM for 36 issues... SPIDER ISLAND **** yeah!)

No-one writes with more depth than Alan Moore, or Grant Morrison - both of whom work for DC; They took the bland , cooky cutter superheroes - like Batman & Superman - and gave them so much depth the readers nearly drowned

I'm sorry if I like to be immersed in a story about people I relate to... Instead of reading about a two dimensional perfect fantasy world where space princes and space rings and other space paraphernalia save the day every time...

I'm sorry if I like to be immersed in a story about people I relate to... Instead of reading about a two dimensional perfect fantasy world where space princes and space rings and other space paraphernalia save the day every time... I'm with you on that one. NOBODY can win every battle. NOBODY can win every fight or conquer every civilization! Here's a few examples- Rome: Rome was a very powerful empire, but lost it all. Daredevil: Loses to Submariner in Daredevil #7. That's just 2 examples of fights that couldn't be won. There are many lost fights in Marvel comics, and very few in DC. But even if the Marvel hero does lose, they continue to fight crime, and may meet the villain that they lost to again, and possibly defeat him or her.

I'm sorry if I can't relate to an alien prince, a fighter pilot with a perfect body, an amazonian princess, or a stupid rich playboy... What I CAN relate to is a teenage kid who has no real source of money or real resources or help in the world fighting crime against adult supervillains with powers FAR exceeding his own... people relate to a rich playboy who (guess what) has problems with drugs. Who is losing control of his company because he is spending his money all on fighting terror around the globe... A scientist who like many people cannot control his anger, and it turns him into someone he doesn't want to be... A man who breaks under the stress of war and his wife and children being killed. He can't handle the unbearable sadness of losing all he has, and so he goes a bit nuts. Yeah. Sorry all those stories have too much depth for DC kiddies. You can keep your shiny Metropolis dream world. Ill take Hell's Kitchen any day. Not saying there is no place for DC... Kids need role models.But once you have grown up, and understand life more, you will eventually turn towards MARVEL

I was just pointing out that Marvel sometimes also uses some crazy magical gizmos and supernatural characters. Let's see, a motorbike daredevil that made a pact with the Devil, an entity that eats planets, a God based on the Norse mithology's Thor, an astronomer from another planet that made a pact with the aforementioned devourer of worlds, and so forth. I have here the first forty or so comics of Ultimate Spider Man that I used to buy 6 or 7 years ago. I know very well how difficult Peter Parker's life is.

Nolan's Batman is OWNED by DC... But is nothing of their making. In fact, he has been **** canned from the series. They are rebooting the Batman movie franchise to sync with green lantern and Man of Steel so they can do a JLA movie. I know... Sucks for them, right?

Ever read Frank Millers "The Dark knight Returns"? (basically the re-invention that they based the new films around) It's set when Bruce Wayne is in his 50's, society is crumbling - and Superman is now a corrupted tool for the federal government. There's an awesome face off at the end, where Batman is declared an illegal vigilante and they call in Superman to hunt him down. Superman is portrayed as a fascist... and Batman as a psychotic vigilante. Oh, but that's right - they only have two dimensions don't they? Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Frank Miller - pretty much anything written by them has some depth - they could give depth to a stickman. Maybe you should actually *read* some of the comics before judging them

Along with The Killing Joke, a comic here the Joker shows actual depth and a hint of regret in his face while reminding his criminal origins.

And then there's Red Son, A "what if" Superman series. An alternate-reality story where his capsule takes slighty longer to reach Earth when he's a baby and instead he lads in the Soviet Union and is dedicated to the cause of Communism, instead of landing in America and being dedicated to Democracy. And with Supermans help, Stalinist Communism spreads across the globe. It's political, it's thought provoking - it turns an established character on it's head. It's output like that that makes DC just ever so slightly better IMO & this is from a man who HATES Superman; you don't want to get me started on how much

Think about what you just said... Batman wins every fight. No one- NO ONE can win every single fight. Not even someone with powers, like iron man or thing or the human torch. Of course they eventually win, because they don't give up, but the villain almost always draws first blood in a real/Marvel comic. BATMAN IS JUST A FIGURE OF IMAGINATION. YOU CAN'T WIN EVERY FIGHT.

What about the time Bane broke his back? Or when he wasn't quick enough to save Jason Todd, the second Robin? And I'm pretty sure there are more examples but I don't remeber any more. 70 years of comics is a long time, of course there are times when Batman doesn't win. If of course you exclude those early Golden Age comics where most heroes were invincible all the times, even Marvel's.

I'd actually regard Frank Miller's contributions to the Batman mythos, as well as comics in general to be of overall questionable quality. While DKR was revolutionary for its time it also began the increasingly unsavory characterization of Batman as an aristocratic, arrogant and fanatical moral absolutionist who realistically would have a hard time being tolerated by anyone of his fellows over a long period of time by anybody, let alone inspire people to better themselves. This is actually cranked up severely in Miller's "Dark Knight Strikes Again" which is DKR's sequal, which also suffers from severe mischaracterization of nearly every hero and contradictions to DKR itself. More recently, Miller's latest "contribution" to the Batman franchise, "All-Star Batman and Robin" took it even further with Batman being a complete psychopath while every other hero was portrayed as complete idiots (except Wonder Woman, who is simply a raging manhater). It is debatable how much this is supposed to be parody, but then again even if it was there is a line that divides parody from good taste. It's actually only recently that Batman has been growing away from the sort of charactization that DKR hamstrung him with into a more sympathetic and balanced, but still driven and competant characterization and under Grant Morrison no less. Arguably, Miller's best contribution to Batman was "Batman: Year One" which takes the characterization in a completely different direction being set early in his career where he is still learning the ropes and how to effectively fight crime in a Gotham so rife with corruption that it is not a question whether or not he is beneficial to the city. It's only noticable blemish is the fact that it also happens to give Catwoman a background of being a prostitute, but then again women being characterized as prostitutes, cold-blooded criminals/murderers who happen to dress like prostitutes, or even less flattering descriptors is prettymuch a universal constant of all of Frank Miller's work which is one of the biggest critcisms of it (surprisingly, rampant misogyny only appeals to, at best, half of comic book fans).

If you want to argue FOR dc using Miller, then your argument is basically moot. Is any of his work canonical? I think not. I am talking CORE DC. Canon DC is lame and stupid. As I said, Nolan's Batman is amazing. But DC is firing Nolan from the series. But arguing about Nolan and Miller and Moore is like saying Sam Raimi made Spider-Man what he is today. Sure, he made Spidey more of a pop culture thing, but do I consider his movies to be core Marvel? No. I am talking paperback single issue comics. Maybe DC will turn around with the 'New 52' but I doubt it. You can't teach an old dog new tricks, or in this case you cant teach a dead dog any tricks. That's what DC comics is. Dead. EDIT: And besides, Miller's allegiances lie with Darkhorse. SECOND EDIT: Yes I am aware of Dark Knight Rising. It is Nolan's final film with the series, and DC is planning a more comic bookey batman series to tie in with JLA. It is to compete with Marvel's Avengers film franchise.

I don't think Nolan would give into a request from DC to turn his version of Batman more comic-bookey. He knows that the gritty and realistis style of his Batman movies is part of what made them great. He wasn't even inclined to do a threequel.

Jeesbus. Nolan's last film will not be comic bookey. It is the FINAL NOLAN STYLE FILM DC is reebooting batman after the 3rd dark knight style batman is released with a more DCU batman franchise. Dark Knight is no longer DC canon, just as Marvel is rebooting Spidey. The difference is Marvel rebooting Spider-Man is a GOOD idea

Insightful Post It wasn't Miller that started it - though he was a main exponent of it; You could also say Alan Moore's Watchmen was what turned the Superhero Genre on it's head - that is the moment you can point to when comics stopped being about Black&White/Good v Evil 2 dimensional caricatures...and fleshed them out into 'real people', actually asking the real question "What do the superheroes do for the other 23 hours a day when they are NOT in costume"; It also asked psychological questions about why someone would start dressing up in costume in the first place. Now you have to admit - Bruce Wayne had a troubled childhood, what with both parents being murdered... and the psychological effect of this has turned the adult Bruce Wayne into a costume fetishist/sadist vigilante... it's a point that many Batman writers, Miller included, have picked up on. I actually prefer it when they are shown to have darker motivations than simply "I'm a Do-Gooder!" Besides - arguing over what's better DC or Marvel is like arguing what's better Tea or Coffee; Anyone with half a brain knows that Coffee RULES hot beverages!

IMHO, batman is the best hero in DC's arsenal. As I have said, believability is important to me in comics. I like heroes with no powers. Punisher and Iron Man are great examples of this.

2011-07-23 00:44:00 Author: poorjack Posts: 1806

I have. It's amazing. But long ago I have learnt not to assume the quality of a film by the trailer. Hollywood sometimes forgets how to make good movies, but never how to sell them. I'll most probably go watch it anyway, just as TDKR. I go watch every superhero movie I can, except those that reveal themselves as total crap since the very first moment, like the Green Lantern movie.

Lol at GL. But yeah, I know how holywood works. As some of you may know, I am in film school studying to write for the big screen... So I understand holywood's selling power. But in many cases, you can indeed judge a book by it's cover. From the beginning we knew GL was going to take a crap on the franchise, but then again, we didn't think SM3 would be such a mild disappointment... It goes both ways.

Well, Batman isn't just DC's best bet in movies, it also is in videogames. Until now Batman: Arkham Asylum is probably the best and most faithful comic book superhero game ever. I guess it had to balance out Superman for N64, the worst comic book superhero game ever.

Yeah, I have to admit that game is dope, even though I am not too into it, I own it for PC. And what about 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions', or 'Ultimate Spider-Man'? Those are 2 of the creme of the crop best super hero games evar.

the only characters i like from DC are Batman and The Joker. So I voted for Marvel, because they have captain america, deadpool, blade, and many others.

Those are 2 of the creme of the crop best super hero games evar. Nope, I haven't, I know they're pretty good though I played Spider-Man 2 back in 2005, it was one of the first games I finished. The combat wasn't anything noteworthy (not that I knew any better at the time) but webswinging was cool.

Ultimate Spider-Man is a lot like Spider-Man 2, but more comic book universe oriented (duh) with waay too many unlockable ****s and stuffs. And Shattered Dimensions is more like your typical action game, but its jsut got... so many spidermans... and the story is bad ***

Spiderman 2; One of the only examples I can think of where a movie tie-in game was actually good, and had merit just as a game.

Yeah, the Spidey Movie games were all pretty **** good, but 2 was by far the best (movie and game)

To be fair, Spiderman 2 was one of the best, if not the best superhero movies ever. I hope they don't screw the Avengers up. I rewatched the first Iron Man yesterday, I'd like to see something with that quality again.

I liked iron man 2 better than 1... IDK why I am the only one... I just really like Mickey Rourke

Iron Man 2 wasn't a movie, it was a trailer. It was a 2 hour trailer for the Avengers
