So when it comes down to it Who has the better list of future Movies: DC or Marvel ?

[Triple J]

On Halloween, I saw kids wearing all these costumes: Arrow, Flash (!!), Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, Iron Man, Captain America.

Yup, my sister also told me that quite a few kids were wearing a Flash costume at her school (I am wondering if those kids are watching the show?).

[Lady Warp Spasm]

Neither for me. I may see Aquaman. Despite my loathing of Civil War, I will probably see Cap 3, but outside of these nothing else really. I am not a fan of many of these characters so I cannot pit one company against the other. I think it's great both companies are stepping up to the plate though, so the fans win regardless.

Marvel by Long way (although I am bias I do try to take all accounts)

DC still needs to prove they have the right stuff.. Currently IMO BVS is still in the 50/50 slot .. it certain to make money but as to positive approval... VERY iffy ,
Marvel has a proven track record and know how to make you take interest in things you usually don't .. ex Captain America is not even close to my fav character.. yet CA: WS is my favorite Marvel movie..


We wont know how DC does until we see BVS to give us some clue..

The Nolan Batman movies were excellent films. Well shot, great actors, fairly well thought out mythology but it is not the DC Comics Batman. Its an alternate take on the Batman universe. It was focused more on making a great movie than on being accurate for comic fans. I always felt that these movies were more like extreme police action films than true superhero movies.

Marvel seems to work a little harder at building a universe that is as close as they can make to the comic book version while still making a great movie. Granted they can't always stick to the source material because times change and some things don't translate easily. When you take into account what they've done with fairly obscure characters (i.e. Groot, Rocket Raccoon, or hell even Winter Soldier) it pretty impressive.

Prior to the introduction of the MCU, I doubt many of us on this forum would have ever imagined characters like Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, or Captain America could rival the merchandising and mainstream appeal of traditional heavy hitters like Superman, Batman, or Spiderman. Its been because Marvel has made some spectacular movies that have appealed to a wide range of fans.

While I agree with your point, I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest that Hawkeye and Black Widow are rivaling the merchandising and mainstream appeal of Superman, Batman, and Spider-man.

[Marvel_Is]

Marvel. They care about their characters.

DC/WB only care what looks good through Batman's taint.

[Iron Chi]

You're right. Hawkeye and Black Widow probably take the example a little far.

Very much agreed with this. Marvel Studios has constructed a pretty wide-ranging universe, thus far.

I saw 7 Batmans and 7 ninja turtles, nothing else

[dedpool79]

I'm excited for DC's stuff, but it feels like movies that they should have already made for the most part, so it's almost "of course that's what they're doing." Whereas Marvel's list has some pretty big surprises in it, so I'm far more excited for those.

Funny. It's completely different where I am. I also saw a lot of Turtles, but overwhelmingly Marvel costumes.

Captain America - 5
Iron Man - 5
Rocket Racoon - 3 (one kid even had a baby Groot)!
Superman - 2 (unless you count the entire family in Superman/Supergirl costumes then it would be 5)
Black Widow - 2
Spiderman - 2
Flash - 2
Wolverine - 1 (not the movie version either. He was 80's black and yellow costume)
Winter Soldier - 1
Batman - 1
Thor - 1

Maybe. Up until not that long ago they had been playing JLU reruns on CW too.

"Best predictor of future behaviour is..."

So, Marvel. I have almost no faith in any DC movie project, whereas even the Marvel ideas I'm not a fan of (GotG) have been outstanding.

Now... I'm notoriously biased against DC, especially where the Big Three are concerned, but I do wish nothing but the best for DC.

It was hard for me to spot the Marvel costumes amidst the Frozen sea of Elsas, but yeah: more Marvel than DC.
