DC all the way. Far more interesting characters imo. As far as the movies, though Marvel admittedly has DC over a barrel as far as creating a cohesive and critically/financially successful cinematic universe, I would also still stump for DC for the precise reason that most of their movies came about before cinematic universes were the hot commodity they currently are.

And so most of DC's movies, for good or ill, are closer to being auteur cinema as opposed to a cookie cutter conveter belt of interchangeable meh. If you watch Tim Burton's Batman, you know you're watching his vision for Batman. Same goes for Schumacher, same for Nolan. Watch Richard Donner's Superman and you know you're watching Richard Donner's vision for that character.

Similarly, Marvel's best stuff imo was when the likes of Sam Raimi, Ang Lee and Bryan Singer were making their movies. Very personal, very creative and idiosyncratic takes on the respective characters they undertook, and not nearly as much blandly decided by committee.

Some of the marvel series are very good, the DC series tend to start well and then run out of ideas very quickly. They should just make them shorter before they run out of cohesive ideas

Any marvel film in the last 5+ years has been pretty much crap from start to finish

I've never read the comics, but I was into the MCU films for a while.

They basically haven't been good since they went back in time in Endgame. There's no coming back from that.

Never got into the recent DC films.

Literally was the endgame

DC love all the Arrowverse stuff.

I detest all the superhero movies and yet LOVE the Deadpool movies !!


Go figure

Off the top of my head the stuff I've enjoyed from both are...

Marvel: the Netflix Daredevil / Jessica Jones series. Not caught up with them since moving to Disney though. Iron Man movies were decent. Spiderman playstation games are great.

DC: The Arkham games were fantastic, and the Nolan Batman films were too...

I love the Batman franchise / world more than anything Marvel but there's also a lot more duds with DC... especially Gal Gadot's awful acting, Jared Leto's joker, whatever the Zac Snyder Superman movies were meant to be...

But then I got really tired of there being 8 Marvel movies and series every year and completely lost interest in the "Robert Downey Jr says something snarky every 3 seconds" dialogue in everything (not just him, but it feels like they milked it from the earlier films to the point of tedium). Deadpool was terrible for this although I suspect that's more because I can't stand Ryan Reynolds.

I'm voting DC because Batman > everything.
