The age-old question. Who could possibly be better? Marvel or DC. There are fans of both, but for the most part, there is a line separating both universes. So what makes one better than the other? Or does each universe handle it's own?
To start off, Batman and Superman are very big superheroes that almost everyone is aware of. Whether fans or not, they know who these characters are. These two have had movies, tv shows, and action figures made way before the war between Marvel and DC. No one seemed to care about Iron Man or Thor, but rather indulged in the two DC characters everyone seemed to love. DC made a move years ago with their Batman and Superman antics. They were the first to be in the superhero business. That is about how far they went. They did have really great Batman movies, but if you really look at it, they are kind of repetitive. The had a chance with Wonder Woman and an even bigger chance with Justice League, but when it came to performing, they didn't meet the standards of success. So, DC made the first move, had compelling superheroes, made an amazing movie about Wonder Woman, but when it came down to connecting everyone and storylines and making the Justice League movie they failed.
Marvel wasn't the first in the business but made the most out of it. They had a plan to make the movies they did and bring the characters to life. They followed their blueprint for all the phases they were going through. The eventually brought everyone together in the first Avengers movie, and from then on, it was all history. They made all their movies part of history and made each better than the last. One downside is that they are trying to make all their movies friendly for families, so it doesn't have that dark edge that DC movies have but Marvel makes it work.
So overall, it is up to the fans. They will connect more to who they grew up with, which heroes they like, the storylines that are interesting. They will make their choice. For my favorite, I have to forever and always chose Marvel. What's your preference?
