    In what sense? Pretty sure quality beats quantity. I'd rather have one good Superman movie, opposed to having two Ironman movies that were garbage, two boring Thor movies, and one anticlimactic Avengers movie.

    So when we get those I will let you know. So far we haven't gotten anything like that as of yet.

    First of all i m a DC fan through and through, in fact i read around 40 DC books and the sum of total of Marvel books i m reading is currently a big fat "0"... just because i really love the DC characters. Also my favourite cbm is undoubtedly The Dark Knight and my favourite superheroes are Superman and Wonder Woman. However let's not make hyperbolic statements like the op. Quality does beat quantitiy, but DC is ahead in that department is arguable at best. But that's a matter of personal opinion. But the op's statement is hyperbolic because as far as i can tell DC is a long way from being number 1 in everything. I would say they are no 1 in animated movies and video games. I have not checked the market share recently, but the last time i checked they were behind. Now in the movies, ur statement that DC movies has better quality is your opinion. However facts are that Marvel has repeatedly churned out decent to great movies and DC only has the Nolan triology and the slightly above average MOS. Also i would say DC is ahead in live action tv series as Arrow is better than Agents of Shield

    When it comes to movies,The Dark Knight takes the cake.As of now,DC is ruling with TV Shows for example Arrow. Animated Shows/Movies,DC takes it with shows like B:TAS or JL:Unlimited and B:UTRH or JL:Doom.In games,DC again due to Arkham series and Injustice.Comics...Both can easily compete

    Only thing Marvel's got on Dc is more live action movies.Dc owns pretty much everything. A trailer came out for The Amazing Spiderman, nobody bats an eye. Mention a arkham game and everybody loses their minds.

    Lets be real here the Nolan trikogy is overrated one great film out of the three. If Mos was that great don't you think that it wouldn't be a hit or miss film critically? At the end of the day Dc may or not have everything you said but one thing is for sure and that is Marvel is more relevant

    it's been # two in comic book sales for like 20 years.

    DC used to be good but Superman is a relic of a character. they need to modernize and not just bone themselves like they did in flashpoint.

    Clearly I don't. Iron Man 2 was a poor cash grab with little action and no story. 3 Was the worst by far. Already anything happened in the movie. All we got was poor inconsistent fight scenes, Assassin Creed: Tony Stark, a horrible villain, oh, an don't forget the way they ruined the Mandarin.

    Hm...so an overzealous DC fan claiming that DC is better than Marvel and is going to roflstomp them in every thing (even though sales consistently disagree, minus a gimmick month or crossover) and posts a noncanon image as his flag.....And people arguing over taste....what's new? This is an average Tuesday on Comicvine

    And what's the point of this, if I may?

    DC hadbeen the greatest comic book superhero universe -- until New 52. Now, it's nothing more than a pale Marvel wanna-be.

    Whenever I see posts like this I wonder how long it will be before you resort to "my dad can beat up your dad"

    Seriously, grow up. Yes, I much prefer DC to Marvel, but that doesn't mean it's the best and Marvel is awful, it really doesn't matter.

    It's cool if you people want to have actual debates about things and listen to each other's opinions, but instead it's just

    "clearly _____"

    "clearly ______"

    "clearly ______"

    Just let people like and dislike whatever they want, come on guys, comic vine is for discussion and debate, not bitching and whining.

    To paraphrase the great Inigo Montoya: "You keep using that word 'relevant'; I do not think it means what you think it means."

    best characters for sure. I also feel they have the best movies MOS being better then all of the Marvel movies except maybe the Incredible Hulk.

    but an absolute mess of a universe. they don't connect there heroes as they should. magic/gods new and old are far too apart. Shazam clears up does magic and the introduction to the Sources's power to man. Black Adam/Greeks/New Gods/Old Gods all newer gods then the ones the Wizard gets his power from. they being the first to come from the Source. Source/Presence being connected to Phantom Stranger/Specter. To simply put it Magic is accessing the Source power...they're heavy hitters, teams and individuals, good and evil floating around without any accountability.

    Marvel is much better at putting there universe together for what they focus on. Shield and the Gotg put together all the lose ends in their universe. chalking up magic to Strange.
