As was i. My “boring” interest in history drives the mrs nuts at times. Funny thing, she’d come nearer picking an action movie than me.

DC all the way. Been a Superman fan since George Reeves was on TV.

Favorite characters:

Superman (and relatives)
Batman
Green Lantern

I was only 4 when Reeves died. It was a shock that anyone could kill Superman ......
The video was 2 years before I was born.


BTW - I did read some Marvel back in the day. (but not regularly) I read Fantastic 4 and some X men. Cyclops was the only one of them I liked.

But Marvel put out "Not Brand Echh Comics" which lampooned both DC and Marvel characters and brought them all together. It was hilarious.

Since the forums are being nasty and not allowing images, you can see the covers of some of those comics here:

X-Men is a favorite ...

X-men is great too. I forgot they were Marvel.

How about the A-Team from years ago?

Being a Silver Age kid, mostly Marvel characters.

Most of the DC stars tended to bore me--'way too vanilla with silly "problems." Like Superman's only real problem was choosing which woman to date. Batman by that time had gotten too silly and campy: Bat-Mite? Really? DC was really kind of goofy overall during the 60s, and lacked diversity.

DC did have some "non stars" that I followed, such as the Challengers of the Unknown and Blackhawk. I also followed some third-choice magazine company characters like Magnus: Robot Fighter and Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom.

Marvel had more interesting characters. They also got into diversity early and with fewer missteps and more genuineness than DC. DC had some really horrible racist missteps deep into the 60s and into the 70s.

Also, the Marvel writers and artists started doing something novel: They blogged. Or rather, what we would call blogging today. They used the last page of the issues to talk about themselves, what they were doing, and connect with readers. The developed a "deep" fandom. So 'way back in the 60s, we felt we knew who Lee, Kirby, Ditke, et cetera, were as people. When Stan Lee began making television appearances, he was exactly as I'd pictured him in the 60s.

In terms of movies, while I readily acknowledge the superiority of what Marvel has done, I really have to count Wonder Woman as my favorite.

I was a Marvel zombie til the beginning of the 90's then I shifted to DC. I don't collect anything now. I borrow compilations from the library.
tulc(loved "the Spectre", "Suicide Squad", "Black Adam" and Flash's rogues gallery)

Current live action movies wise - MCU is (Justice) leagues better than the DCEU (or DC Other Worlds or whatever they're calling it). So far, it's not even close outside of one win with Wonder Woman.

Cartoon wise (movies, shows) - DC is on the whole beating Marvel by a landslide. While Marvel has had great shows like Spiderman the Animated Series, X-Men The Animated Series, and Spectacular Spiderman - DC has given a predecessor to the MCU in the DCAU which ran from Batman the Animated Series through Superman the Animated Series through Batman Beyond through Static Shock and culminating in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, all of which (especially Batman, Supes, Beyond, and Justice League) were amazing, and add in Young Justice (GREAT show). Heck, with Batman and JL those characters portrayals and voice performances (looking at you Mark Hamills Joker and Kevin Conroy's Batman) are what people compare to. That's not a knock on X-Men, Spidey, or Spectacular - those shows were fantastic as well. But Marvels shows had more misfires than successes. Animated movie wise, it's not even a discussion. Great ones to check out: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Batman: Under The Red Hood, Batman: Bad Blood, Batman: The Killing Joke, Batman: Assault on Arkham, Wonder Woman, Justice League: Doom, Justice League: Crisis on Two-Earths, and Justice League: War.

Comic's wise - it's both. Both companies have an excellent roster of crazy interesting characters. With Marvel, I really enjoy Deadpool, Spiderman, Spiderman 2099, Moon Knight, X-Men (especially the classic Chris Claremont run and Rick Remenders run on Uncanny X-Force), Union Jack, Scarlett Spider, Agent Venom, Captian America, and Spider-Gwen just to name a few. With DC, I love me some Batman, Superman, Geoff Johns run on Green Lantern, Flash, and especially Aquaman was *fantastic*, Justice League, Nightwing, and the pre-New 52 Red Robin run.

While I'm talking comics, gotta recommend both Boom Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Both are some of my favourite ongoing titles in comics right now.

I prefer DC in animated form, Marvel for the recent movies.

 

[RDKirk]

DC needs to put the person who runs their animations in charge of their movies.

Disney needs to do the same with Star Wars.

Good topic..
I haven't liked many of the comic book inspired movies tho.. but I did like the Michael Keaton' Batman.
In print, I always liked The Thing' solo series, Captain America, Daredevil, Superman, & She-Hulk.. And DC had a cool Elvira series back in the mid-late 80s (House of Mystery).

TV- I liked the Bill Bixby' Hulk, and the old Superfriends cartoon (w/ Superman, Aquaman, Lex Luthor, etc). I guess Marvel vs DC would be a draw/push for my taste.
