Changing characters and their backstories is probably never going to go over very well unless you have some way of keeping that history intact. Fans invest so much in the progression of characters...

A few years ago, this would have gone no contest to the MCU, in my opinion, but I got to thinking... how about now?

I ranked all the MCU and DCEU movies from 1 - 5, where 5 was "amazing" and 1 was...

I enjoyed the movie.

The 80s aesthetic was a great way to differentiate the movie from the first and generally a welcome change to the settings of most superhero movies.

The first half of the...

Amelia Nobbs just wants to live the life of a rockstar... but the underworld begs to differ.

This fun little comic was illustrated by the amazing Luis Santamarina and written by me. Hope you...

Batwoman is great - not listed.

The list seems generally reasonable, but Martian Manhunter may be stronger than Shazam, depending on how you define "strong". I'd put my money on J'onn in a fight.

I wasn't a fan of DC Rebirth's Teen Titans run (at least initially), but I'm not a Damian Wayne fan and don't like him being a central part of the team.

It was the New 52 era and how most of the new series seemed destined to prematurely crumble into dust... I gave graphic novels in general a rest until Rebirth, and I've been back at it since.

Thanks! So are these all "recommended"? Asking particularly because of the "ugh" next to Bendis' run.

For someone that has ONLY read Extremis as far as Iron Man goes, what runs would you recommend to me, and in what order?

I'm usually not on top of things enough to have a pull list, but a lot of the Rebirth/post-Rebirth stuff I've read has started quite strong, esp

Rebirth One-Shot/Lead-In
Justice League Dark...

Excited to see how all the Starro craziness goes down! My pull list:

STARRO WARS #1
THE FLASH #12 *Starro Wars Tie-In*
GREEN LANTERN #12 *Starro Wars Tie-In*
STARRO WARS: RED LANTERN
TEEN...

I've been catching up with everything I missed from the MCU (mostly entries in the last half decade), and the cracks are definitely starting to show.

If the DCEU keeps hitting it out if the park...

Interestingly enough, this link "inspired" me to watch Civil War as the data indicates that it is far less "jokey" than half of the movies. Was not able to finish the movie for other reasons, but I...

This would be very cool.

Indeed... It's safe to say that >95% (I would hope) of DC writers were huge fans of the characters/universe before they started writing for DC, so my only thought as to why the "fan fiction" label...

Bumping this to express my appreciation for this guy.

Recently dove into Detective Comics for the first time and his first six issues were very good, at least to the uninitiated. I'm now four...

Who has read it? Thoughts?

Thanks! I bought her Elegy to start with.

What's a good starting place/reading order for Batwoman? My girlfriend has just started getting into comics (she's read Lazarus and WW [rebirth era] by Rucka), and I thought a Batwoman book might be...

I agree with all of this 100%. Joker is also quite possibly the best comic book movie I've ever seen, though that's not technically part of the mainstream DCEU.

I found this website with a lot of different charts of joke count/frequency in each MCU movie, and it's very interesting/illuminating:

I agree... and regardless, it's one of the most critically acclaimed comic book movies of all time, so it certainly matches up to the MCU (and I would argue generally surpasses it) in that regard.
...

Bumping this thread as there have been a lot of developments in both cinematic universes.

As a DC fan, I really enjoyed the birth of the MCU: Iron Man and Captain America were very good and sold...

I wonder if he'll be playing Thomas Wayne in the messed up continuity?
