At this point, we are getting more Bat-books every months even in the "DC Round Robin", we are getting the "Robin" and "Harley Quinn" books. Meanwhile at Marvel's recent annoucement, it's pretty clear they have launch many different titles which is something different, like "Darkhawk", " Defender", " Kang the Conqueror" and many more. I am sorry DC fans. But Marvel prove themselves once again that they will forever to take the risk to try something new rather than the " DC BATMAN UNIVERSE." FULL COMPLETELY 100% RANTS!!!!

And on the other side, . . .

Jason's Avengers run is totally hot garbage.
Dan's Fantastic Four is always ruin with shitty plots twist and plot device.
I can't even bother to mention DC Comics at all. More like " Batman and the DC Universe". Too many Bat-books until I went insanity.

At this point, Dear X-Men fans. Please be gratuful for what titles you have. Especially with those hardship back in 2015-2016 when the Inhumans replacing the franchise. It's so hard to earn the back the spotlight thank to Hickman.

Assuming you like reading comic books, you'll almost certainly find some Marvel stuff that you'll like. Never become a fanboy -- either for DC or Marvel -- and thus a tool of a corporation.

Of course. I'm certainly not against that at all. In fact, I only mentioned here about a week ago that expanding the market would be the solution on DC's end, but how to do that when it has been steadily shrinking forever is the question.

What would be nice is to see them giving talent, energy and resources they put in Bat.
This is not a matter of fans being greedy, I would just act like Batfans had my favorite characters got all that stuff. I don't blame them at all. However I read many Batfans that are concerned that at one point all this reliance on him will be too much.

Hey, I was buying non-Bat* books (Black Lightning, Metal Men, Doom Patrol, Super-Team Family, Mystery in Space, Challengers of the Unknown, etc.) long before many of you were born, only to see them end very quickly. IOW, I know how many of you feel.

* Actually, Superman was the big Kahuna back then.

used to like Thor but they messed the character so much that I can't recognize it anymore, other marvel character I don't find them interesting at all.

To answer the question posed in the title: yes.

I asked for my "Batman Fan 10% of all Batman Revenue" payment, and boldly, DC corporate denied my request. Needless to say, they'll be hearing from my lawyers.

Why?

I gave up on Marvel myself; got tired of everything getting changed all the time, and the various mini-series that would probably be forgotten by Marvel even before the last issue gets printed.

Overall, I probably like DC better but I almost always have a couple of Marvel books that I'm reading as well. It's just very hard for a major publisher to have literally zero appealing titles, and I don't like being a fanboy and shutting out one company or the other. (I do think both of the Big 2 are at a nadir currently, but that is neither here nor there).

I must admit that its too much - But I don't point finger at Batfans, Had it been another character with all those books still would not blame them. But yes its becoming ridiculous and sooner or later it will over saturate.

Some of these anti-DC threads genuinely come across as jokes.

Maybe. I'm kinda sick of fan entitlement across the board.
