Look at this how can you not fall in love? Now i know without DC there would virtually be no Marvel. However, in the cinematic world marvel rules all. DC is for the most part in the baby steps stage when it comes to the cinematic universe. Yes, they've had Superman, Batman, Watchmen, Blade, Suicide Squad but those were stand alones. Their name alone drew in the crowds not to mention how many times Superman & Batman have been rebooted. Even suicide squad I mean, that was a given with Joker and Harley involved everyone is gonna go see it. Wonder Woman is what Iron Man was to Marvel. A character virtually unknown to non comic readers. Granted Wonder Woman had a better opening but there is a 9 year difference between the two. Domestically shes done Great but terrible overseas. In the top 10 shes ranked number 7.
As it stands marvel is indeed the better franchise, the avengers is not in the top 5 highest grossing films of all time for no reason. The movies that were released not BM or SM were folly compared to what marvel brings to the table and executes flawlessly. Their latest endeavor with wonder woman was not a failure but a rough draft for what is to come. Marvel has already been there done that. with the latest Thor: Ragnarok hitting theaters in November I am sure it will win over Justice League. Not saying it wont pull audiences because that would be a very misinformed accusation. They will get droves of viewers in the seats domestically and abroad. However, when its all said and done I can almost guarantee Thor will win the battle of box office revenue.
Besides Nolans Batman, Suicide Squad and Watchmen I've found DC to be rather bloated, boring & dark. Just because the characters are haunted doesn't mean the visuals have to showcase that. That's what i love about Marvel, the movies are done in a fashion that's fun, filled with jokes and bright visuals. The movies resemble actual comics and the nay sayers forbid a comic book film actually looking like a comic. Which in my opinion is ridiculous. I am not sure when this whole Cinematic Universe battle will end but i can predict it will be a very sad day for most.
