I've never really agreed with that statement tbh. Makes sense when you think about Superman or Wonder Woman, but completely falls apart when you consider Batman, Thor, Hercules, Spider-Man etc
I agree and feel the same way. But I’d say I slightly gravitate toward DC more because I grew up with their animated shows from the DCAU, Teen Titans, Young Justice, etc. and my favorite character is Batman.
@@akilbrazier1421 Batman's my favorite too, but Spider-Man is a close second. I might be a little biased towards DC too, but I appreciate what both companies offer.
Animated series and Nolan films made me DC for life. As a kid, I was watching the peak of the Cadmus arc. I made sure every saturday I watched it. Then Patriot Act, The Man who has everything, Epilogue. Though yes, Spiderman is always a kids favorite (Spectacular Spiderman), as well as the XMen (90s)
I find Batman to be compelling because when it all comes down to it, he’s just a smart, rich guy, with excellent training. He’s not Meta or a mutant. No powers beyond a heightened sense of justice.
I love both Marvel and DC. While there are many characters I enjoy from both companies, I just don't take sides. I love both of them equally as they shaped my childhood and influenced me much more as I grew older. Characters like Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, The X-Men, Batman, Superman, and The Teen Titans among many others made me start collecting comics and watching the movies. 5:00 I get what you’re saying. A lot of people have said it and I do mostly agree, but it’s still kind of funny that DC feels more mythological than Marvel, even though Thor and Hercules are both prominent heroes over there. I would create an Antman and Wisp show to show up mashup worlds by theme. DC & Marvel street-level heroes are in one world. DC & Marvel magic/horror characters are in another world etc. It’s pretty hard for me to choose what I like better between Marvel or DC. If u were to ask me what my favorite heroes of all time. It goes 1. Batman 2. Spider-Man 3 Captain America 4 Superman 5 the Flash (Barry) 6 the Hulk 7 green lantern(Hal Jordan) 8 Nightwing/robin(dick) 9 Thor 10 Wonder Woman. As u see based on my list the ranking fluctuates. One minute u see a dc hero over a Marvel hero and the next u see a Marvel hero over a dc. But if really really really had to choose I would say DC over Marvel only because unlike Marvel DC has way better side characters that can easily replace the main heroes. With Batman, you have Nightwing and the rest of the Robins along with the rest of the Bat family and Batman beyond. With Superman, you have a super girl and a super boy. With Wonder Woman you Donna Troy Wonder Girl. Flash Barry Allen has Wally West Flash. Hal Jordan Green Lantern or John Stewart Green Lantern can eventually later have Kyle Rayner Green Lantern. While Marvel really only has Peter Parker and Miles Morales. that is my top 5 hot pick next this week to work on set a new stage okay 20:41 NOW PLAYING I am bored here and will make my own Cinematic Universe next week. 5. There was an article published 12 days ago where they revealed back in 1984 that Marvel almost purchased DC comics. Former Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter posted on his webpage back in 2011 that he received a phone call from Bill Sarnoff the chairman of Warner Books: “What we wanted to talk about was licensing the publishing rights for all DC characters to Marvel comics.” 4. The reason was how Marvel consistently outperformed DC in comics sales at the time. The seven DC titles that Marvel would have got were Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Teen Titans, Justice League, and the Legion of Superheroes. However, the deal never went through cuz Marvel was going through a lawsuit by a smaller indie publisher First Comics, and two well-known writers Frank Miller and Alan Moore (Watchman and Dark Knight Returns). When I was a kid I also liked Marvel more, but in my later teens I started to prefer DC more A huge selling point for DC is the villains. Fan consensus usually holds that Marvel has better heroes but DC has infinitely better villains. And I agree with the better villains part. For as fascinating as Magneto may be, he's easily outnumbered by amazing DC villains. I used to be a DC fan over Marvel, then a Marvel fan over DC and now I'm just a big fan of both (still trying to get more into the DC side tho) both are good to fix it as a threat to the comic industry. 3. I agree but I have always been a new Batman voice fan ever since I was a child I like Marvel for different reasons but yeah DC will always be what I gravitate to first I'm a huge DC fan Brilliant MY MAN!! I agree that DC is more fantastical For me DC’s superiority comes from the complex vertigo comics with Sandman and Lucifer being some of the greatest comics that I’ve come across, I simply can’t find any Marvel counterpart for these characters, and stories. The endless are such interesting written concepts put any high-powered Marvel Cosmos to shame in terms of writing etc, even with goofiness and weirdness Doom Patrol takes the cake in that. It was never just about Superman, Batman, joker, watchmen, etc they’re just another big chunk to name from DC. Marvel is good though just not better. As for the one character I would steal from Marvel and put in DC, that would be Spider-Man, because of the fact that he leans more into the fantasy element and has a secret identity like the DC Characters do. 2. So I think Spider-Man would definitely work very well in DC. Maybe even the X-Men, especially Wolverine. You can't kill him and he has a healing power and that's what makes him so interesting. To me, I don't really have a favorite I see them as close enough in similarity to the point I don't pick one over the other. Both are great in their own right and have their own strengths and weaknesses with how they are depicted I feel like reading DC is kind of like metaphors and Anthology.....I don't know how to explain it but DC feels like a huge real-life "what if" story, at least half of the time. I guess mythology might be a good comparison. Anyway, that's just me being a diehard Batman fan I guess, I like Marvel too but just new Spider-Man pretty much.....and I guess a few other select characters How would you do the Batman Who is Better Laughs in Top 10? My first thought of something to steal from Marvel was X-Men as well lol. I’d love to see Martian Manhunter interact with Magneto & Charles. I think Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man are the most interesting villains. That's one of the reasons why I rank them as my top 3. I like DC more than Marvel for several reasons: - Much better comics overall (especially limited series) - Better characters overall (especially legacy ones) - Much stronger villains and teams - I like to look up to my heroes more than relate to them. - A lot of comic creators I just love much more than over in Marvel 1. I am starting to read some Marvel comics recently and am honestly surprised by how depressing it is. Especially the Marvel civilians, they are psychopaths. Anyway, for me personally, Superman and Batman are the most relatable characters ever. Reasons I Like DC Over Marvel. DC has Green Lantern, but Marvel does not. I actually started as a Marvel fan due to the huge amount of Marvel TV Shows there in the '90s when I was a kid. X-Men, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Fantastic 4. The list goes on. In contrast, there were really only 2 DC TV Shows, Batman the Animated Show, and Superman. part 1. So I was more into Marvel at the time. However, that changed in the early 2000s when the animated show Justice League aired. It introduced me to several new DC characters that I had never seen before (Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman. I knew about Wonder Woman but had never actually seen her before that show). Needless to say, I was into that show. I particularly found Green Lantern fascinating, and wanted to learn more about him. part 2. A few years later, Teen Titans aired and I loved that show. It introduced me to several new characters, such as Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy, who was my favorite. But I think what really sold me on DC was the TV Show Young Justice, that aired a few years ago. I really love that show and it's what officially made me a DC fan. I began studying a bit on DC since I knew less about that than I did Marvel, and in the process, I learned more about the whole Lantern Mythos, with the different emotions and all that jazz. I fell in love with that concept and it's why Green Lantern is my favorite Superhero to this day, besides the fact that Hal is just super cool.
Dc’s output tends to be more interesting than Marvel’s in regards to comic books. The best Dc stories are mostly told answering the question “What are the implications of the existence of this larger than life character and how does their existence mold the society around them?” while Marvel stories are much more mundane, like “what if Reed Richards couldn’t pay his bills?” (btw, that’s a real storyline from the fantastic 4).
I think DC is more consistent in outputting interesting stories. But let’s not act like they don’t have their fair share of whimsical stuff. Marvel stuff like Silver Surfer: Requiem, Spider-Man: Blue, literally Daredevil’s entire history, Immortal Hulk, and so on are pretty interesting and profound books. To some degree these books aren’t hailed to the level of DC works since Marvel isn’t exactly popular for that style.
simplyfying marvels characterd down to that when using a profound reason for DC is just unfair, as stan himself said "marvel is, has, and always will be, a reflection of the world outside your window" its more about asking questions about the meaning of life and the difficulty it entails but telling the story in a fantastical way. marvel has some of the most profound books out there i mean most great writers write for both companies for a reason
DC just feels a lot more fun compared to Marvel for me. I find the characters more interesting in general, I guess? Plus Bats and Soups are a lot more iconic than anyone in Marvel, apart from Spida of course.
I love both Marvel and DC. While they are many characters I enjoy from both companies, I just don't take sides. I love both of them equally as they shaped my childhood and influenced me much more as I grew older. Characters like Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, The X-Men, Batman, Superman and The Teen Titans among many others made me start collecting comics and watch the movies.
I'm much more of a Marvel guy. I love how someone like Spider-Man has all these powers and go on all these adventures but then stress out because they need to pay rent.
I get it I do love both universes The 1970s marvel in '80s marvel were awesome but overall the DC universe is just so deep and so just their characters are like mythic and I just love that like because they live in these fictional cities that something about the marvel real world thing sometimes loses me I love got them city metropolis Central City Star City it's just they take you to a comic book world that I love whereas Marvel's I love it but it's just not the same there's something about that DC universe Grant Morrison described why DC was better Read what he said it's just awesome
Dr Doom is the villain that should be in the DC universe He's so powerful that he really doesn't belong in marvel their characters aren't quite as powerful in Doom is so superior to most of these people he would fit right in in the DC universe I could see Doom taking on the Justice League in big epic stories like event comics and stuff were dooms taking over the world I would love to see that
I may be a loyal fan to Marvel, but I like and value DC just as much. Since both companies gave us some of the most iconic characters in fiction and keep each other on their toes with their rivalry. Plus in regards to your idea of bringing the X-Men over to DC and having interesting character dialogues, one that has been sticking with me for a while is one between Cyclops and Nightwing. Not only were both of their teams popular during the 90s- early 2000s especially the X-Men, but I can also see a rivalry( maybe a bitter one) form between them as Cyclops not only would be a dangerous rival because he's willing to make questionable choices, but his leadership is on par and arguably surpass Nightwing. On top of that, Cyclops has been through a lot more than Nightwing and I would love to see how these two clash.
There was a post going around a while ago that basically summed up the difference. Marvel is mortals wanting to be Gods and DC is Gods wanting to be mortals. Of course, it's not dead on 100% accurate for each and every one of their respective characters but it does reflect the over arching vibe of each universe. In my personal opinion, I think it's more poetic and deep to see characters that are powerful enough to end life as we know it, try to assimilate into this fragile little life we have; wanting to have the human experience.
@@michaelclausen1135I agree, what I find captivating about a character like Superman is the fact that he's this larger than life character but deals with these very human emotions. Like falling in love with someone that doesn't give you the time of day, or getting annoyed or angry about the stuff you can't stop or prevent from happening. Superman may be invincible in many ways but he's still a farm boy at his heart.
I grew up being a huge DC fan and I still am, my first favorite hero was Batman, I grew up watching Brave and the Bold on cartoon network, playing lego Batman, watching 1989's film and Mask of the Phantasm, even now I'm watching BTAS but my favorite now is Spider-Man because he's the kind of hero I need now, a relatable one. Also both have bangers and stinkers, it's why I prefer reading limited runs or getting an omnibus
4 things I prefer DC over Marvel 1DC's Heroes and their Sidekicks has better chemistries 2DC's Heroes and their Archenemies has better rivalries 3DC had a better Elseworlds/Multiverse stories 4personally I like the idea of DC heroes protecting each or their own city(Batman's Gotham city,Flash's Central city etc.） 4 things I prefer Marvel over DC 1Marvel has better underdog superheroes(Spiderman,X-Men,The Hulk etc） 2Marvel character's superpowers has more variety and categories 3Marvel makes better"New"characters(specificly past 2010s） 4personally I think Marvel superheroes has better connection to each other
My cousin put it best a long time ago when talking about comics; DC is about people being superheroes, Marvel is about superheroes being people. The majority of the struggles Marvel heroes go through are political or interpersonal drama, and I would much rather have epic heroics from my superheroes.
DC is better because the worlds/homes of their heroes are NOT real world locations like Marvel. Almost every hero of Marvel lives in New York City, a city that everyone and their mother is familiar with because its real. DC on the other hand, they completely from-the-ground-up different and original locations/atmospheres.
New York must be the safest city on the planet in the Marvel universe. Which when you think about it, doesn’t even make sense. Because if Marvel was really all about “realism,” then why would they congregate all of their heroes in one city, instead of spreading them out like DC does? It doesn’t make sense. Police officers in real life are spread out all across the country. If they only focused on one city, the entire country would be up in flames. It’s the reason why the Green Lantern Corps has an assigned Lantern to different sectors. What Marvel does is unrealistic and dumb.
i completely agree with the X-men take. they are my favorite from marvel aside from spiderman. mutants would fit in perfectly with DC, and the X-men at its core to me have always been about an internal struggle of two sides and learning to love who you are. X-men have been so diverse with race, sexuality, religion, etc...which creates a more dynamic and colorful cast of characters and storylines. you can't fault charles or erik for their beliefs because they both have truths in them. there are so many X-men characters that have these internal struggles that are not so black and white, and it gives them more depth than most of their marvel counterparts.
i've always thought that x-men felt much more like the DCU than the MCU! Also the moral grayness of the DCU is so great to me and one of the reasons i prefer it to marvel
5:00 I get what you’re saying. A lot of people have said it and I do mostly agree, but it’s still kind of funny that DC feels more mythological than Marvel, even though Thor and Hercules are both prominent heroes over there.😅

However the deal never went through cuz marvel was going through a lawsuit by a smaller indie publisher first comics and two well known writers Frank Miller and Alan Moore (Watchman and Dark Knight Returns).
I like DC more because my first introduction to Superheroes was the 60s Adam West "Batman" TV series, the Christopher Reeve "" Superman " movies and the Linda Carter" Wonder Woman" TV series. The only Marvel Superheroes I knew growing up where Spiderman (based on the animated series and the short-lived live action series with Nicholas Hammond) and the Incredible Hulk, because of the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno TV series. Liked the DC comics more than the Marvel ones (The Hulk comics were nothing like the TV series so they bored me). Had no interest in the MCU but have seen every Batman film they have put out.
Reasons I Like DC Over Marvel. DC has Green Lantern, Marvel does not. I actually started as a Marvel fan due to the huge amount of Marvel TV Shows there was in the 90s when I was a kid. X-Men, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Fantastic 4. The list goes on. In contrast, there was really only 2 DC TV Shows, Batman the Animated Show, and Superman. So I was more into Marvel at the time.

I fell in love with that concept and it's why Green Lantern is my favorite Superhero to this day, besides the fact that Hal is just super cool.
im sure you already know, but regarding the second question, you might enjoy doom patrol. some theorize that the x-men were partially inspired by them. but two months ago ive been reading some their runs (i gotta get around to the 60s ones) and they're my fav superhero team atm i think
The X-men in dc would go crazy, I was thinking that as my answer too and was surprised when you said it. The mutants is the only part of marvel I heavily tune into
So much about them is unique. And some of Marvel's most memorable characters come from the X-Men. It also helps too that Magneto and Wolverine are my favourite Marvel characters.
I would create mashup worlds by theme. Dc & Marvel street level heroes are in one world. Dc & Marvel magic/horror characters are in another world etc etc.
I've often thought that the more mythic status of DC could be owed almost entirely to Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. This is in no way a bad thing. You could easily list positive qualities that are absolutely embodied by those three: Superman - hope, optimism; Wonder Woman - love and compassion; Batman - discipline, determination, etc. I don't know that Marvel heroes have ever been tied to absolute ideals in that same way. Just my thoughts after watching this...
I prefer DC, there are several reasons for this. But mainly, outside Batman, they allow their character to grow and legacy does exist. Also, how do you feel about Teen Titans DCU news? And what team would you have? I would want Tim Drake as a Robin or Red Robin for the Teen Titans film. That way, Nightwing can have his movie and Damian can just have a trilogy with Batman brave & bold.
I feel like I can get lost in DC while Marvel feels like putting superheroes in our world with all the same problems or even worse. While DC is like a fantasy setting, Gotham is like a dystopian gothic version of New York City while Metropolis is sometimes a sister city or all the way on the other side of the country.
Another thing I like is the syfy feel of the Green Lanterns lore. Its a ashamed what happened to that character with all the disrespect. He was on top he had his own animated series/movies and even got his own live action movie. Until that movie ruined all the momentum Green Lantern had.
It’s pretty hard for me to choose what I like better between marvel or dc. Because if u were to ask me what my favorite heroes of all time. It goes 1. Batman 2. Spider-Man 3 captain America 4 Superman 5 the flash(Barry) 6 the hulk 7 green lantern(hal Jordan) 8 nightwing/robin(dick) 9 Thor 10 Wonder Woman. As u see based on my list the ranking fluctuates. One minute u see a dc hero over a marvel hero and the next u see a marvel hero over a dc. But if really really really had to choose I would say dc over marvel only because unlike marvel dc have way better side characters that can easily replace the main heroes. With Batman you have nightwing and the rest of the robins along with rest of the bat family and Batman beyond. With Superman you have super girl and super boy. With Wonder Woman you Donna Troy wonder girl. Flash Barry Allen has wally west flash. Hal Jordan green lantern or John Stewart green lantern can eventually later have Kyle rayner green lantern. While marvel really only has peter Parker and miles morales.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 peter and miles, Steve and bucky, outside of that what do u really have ? The likes of war machine, she hulk, Jane foster, elektra, shuri, etc aren’t nearly as popular as wally west flash, nightwing, supergirl, Kyle rayner green lantern, etc
Feel like I may be in the minority but my favorite hero as a child was always Robin/Nightwing(Dick Grayson). His costumes were always dope and he was very much like Spider-Man. Later I grew to like more Batman Flash Spider-Man etc.. but 1 is always Grayson. BTAS and Teen Titans is why. I was legit upset whenever Robin wasn’t in an episode.
To me i dont really have a favorite i see them as close enough in similarity to the point i dont pick one over the other. Both are great in their own right and have their own strengths and weaknesses with how they are depicted
If there is one of the reasons why I like DC over Marvel is that they do a better job embracing that they are a comic book company and don’t always try to be realistic or down to earth
For me Dc’s superiority comes from the complex vertigo comics with sandman and Lucifer being some of the greatest comics that I’ve come across, I simply can’t find any marvel counterpart for these characters and stories. The endless are such interesting written concepts puts any high powered marvel cosmos to shame in terms of writing etc, even with goofiness and weirdness doom patrol takes the cake in that. It was never just about Superman, Batman, joker, watchmen etc they’re just another big chunk to name from dc. Marvel is good though just not better.
I feel like reading DC is kind of like metaphors and Anthology.....I don't know how to explain it but DC feels like a huge real life "what if" story, at least half of the time. I guess mythology might be a good comparison. Anyway that's just me being a diehard batman fan I guess, I like marvel too but just spider-man pretty much.....and I guess a few other select characters
I wonder if DC bought all the marvel IP’s and took them and made cities for them in a new timeline reboot, if they could do the characters more justice than marvel was ever able to?
I prefer both DC and Marvel as both comic franchises are unique in their own way. Although many Marvel characters are inspired from DC but these inspired characters have their own style and backstory. Many people in the comment section say DC is inspiring and Marvel is for nostalgia is not true, both DC and Marvel have inspiring stories and themes.
Apart from Batman, DC is so underrepresented in modern media. Most people nowadays think Superman is a joke, which is beyond my comprehension. Check out the DC Animated Universe for some high-quality material.
Superman is one of the greatest and most interesting characters ever created His logo is up there with The Cross Over 80 years of Iconic, legendary, inspirational, generational lore You wouldn't have Marvel, Star Wars, Anime, Manga, Superpowers SUPERHEROES in general if it wasn't for Superman Superman started it all. You should give him respect
I agree but I was always a Batman fan first ever since I was a child but I like marvel for different reasons but yeah DC will always be what I gravitate to first I'm a huge DC fan
I don’t understand the fandom feud. There are great characters, comics, and movies from both. And there are terrible ones from both. Enjoy the stories you enjoy.
I am starting to read some marvel comics recently, and honestly surprised how depressing it is. Especially the marvel civilians, they are psychopath. Anyway, for me personally, Superman and Batman are the most relatable characters ever.
Yea that’s one of the main things I hate about marvel they try to make the civilians just seem straight up evil especially during x men comics. At that point why even try to help them.
I like DC more than Marvel for several reasons: - Much better comics overall (especially limited series) - Better characters overall (especially legacy ones) - Much stronger villains and teams - I like to look up to my heroes more than relate to them. - A lot of comic creators I just love much more than over in Marvel
“I look up to my heroes more than I relate to them” Marvel heroes are more inspiring than dc heroes Spider man teaches us to take up responsibility with the power we pocess X men teach us to never be ashamed of who we are Fantastic Four teach us to value family and to welcome new ones (like the silver surfer) Iron man is about realizing you can be greater than what you are and the potential you have Captain America teaches us to be a role model and leader, but also being righteous Thor encourages us to embrace changes to our lives Hulk, wolverine, and black widow teach us to move on from our past traumas that haunt us The avengers (when they’re all together) teach us to never give up and the value of teamwork. Daredevil teaches us to never let our disadvantages get in the way of our dreams “Much stronger villains and teams” The avengers, x men, fantastic four, guardians of the galaxy, are better than dc teams and doom, magneto, green goblin, thanos, Loki, galactus, dormammu, kingpin, the leader, etc are better than dc villains
@@NHTube1I think ur just a dc hater man. Dc is more inspirational and marvel is more reliable its just facts. You literally have superman representing hope and a better tommorow the man we all should strive to become.
Dc has way better villains. The entire batman rogues gallery,Darkseid, even most superheros archnemis are more recognizable reverse flash, black adam, lex luthor
You have the justice league which is literally great people comming together to create a difference because they know they can do better as a group then individually. Also the justice league is just more epic and majestic. You have the teen titans a group of sidekicks learning their way in the world and growing into their own superhero
They are both great and I watch and read both. I tend to like Marvel more because the characters were much more relatable imo. You can see yourself in their characters and you look at a DC character and their unattainable abilities and goals. Plus I started comics in the 90’s and the art was much brighter and playful back then.
Nolan And DC animated got me into DC when I was kid but my first exposure to a superhero media was Eric Bana Hulk Flim I wanted be like bro so bad my mom told me eat veggies and I can jump around the desert like him
I always loved DC over Marvel But if there was one chacter i would what in Dc it would be Galactus and Dr Doom. DC chacters each have more interesting conpect green lantern, flash, batman and more. DC also feels more iconic. If you read the comics of course. But i like Spiderman too.
They have absolutely dominated with the MCU. I know the consensus is that they've dropped in quality since Endgame but something tells me they won't stay down long. However, regardless if they do or not, anyone trying to simulate their success will not have it easy or might even see it as impossible.
Dc characters have better individual stories overall while most of marvels individual stories are with their street level heroes and some other heroes like wolverine and blade
Yet all the Marvel movies are interconnected and have a shared universe, yet the highest grossing DC films in the last 20 years were the "Dark Knight" trilogy, "Joker" and "The Batman", all of which are standalone films.
Honestly, I agree. While obviously certain specific X-Men members scream "MARVEL" to me, such as Wolverine and Deadpool, the concept of mutants as a whole and their racial-esque struggle feels pretty out of place in the Marvel universe, and would as well in the DC universe, especially when you consider that other meta-humans and super-powered individuals exist yet catch nowhere near as much flak from the public.
I used to be more Marvel than DC because as a kid those were the very first comics I ever read. I always loved how realistic the characters were and how cool the origin stories were; however, I still love Marvel but I prefer DC mostly because DC represents what super heroes should be. Optimistic, aspirational, more iconic stories that you would put in a comic book class like Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, also people love to complain about the all the DC characters being “overpowered,” which I don’t personally believe, but when they use their powers, they use their powers for good purposes. It’s not the super, it’s the hero that makes the difference. All Star Superman shows this.
The problem for me is that I HATE all the superheroes in the Avengers. Ironman is a jerk, Hawkeye is boring, hulk is boring and then gets way too overpowered, Thor is so inaccurate from actual mythology is angers me. Black widow is fine I guess.
Great video, great points.... I prefer the animated movies though, i feel the stories more.... More stuff less fluff you know?😏..... Oh yeah, im a DC guy.....✌🇹🇹
@@DrnoobzHermidaMarvel. They have a multi billion dollar franchise on their side. However, I have personal beloved DC movies I would rather watch than the MCU.
Just like you I loved Spider-Man as a kid, from the animated series and the Raimi movies. But in early high school I saw a video about how some super powers wouldn’t really work in real life, one of which was super speed. This made me sad so I began doing a bunch of research to prove what the guy in the video said was wrong. And for super speed, I started off my research by watch the CW’s Flash. And from then on, that is how I became the DC fan I am today.
Can you shut up with your stupid criticism DC And Marvel are both good since i own movies of marvel and dc and poster They both had great comics and movies so pls shut it with your stupid criticism and stop putting marvel down as well.
@@Dobbythecat123 Sinestro is basically Hal Jordan Green Lantern's Joker. A former Green Lantern who left to form the Sinestro Corps, a Corp powered by fear instead of willpower (People who have never read a comic call them Yellow Lanterns) Anti-Monitor is the being behind Crisis on Infinite Earths and the second most powerful villain in the DCU besides Darkseid
For me, I'm more into the Amalgam Universe. The fusion of Marvel and DC. They ought to bring that universe back in a sort of reboot where the various Marvel and DC characters have more fitting fusions. But I advise keeping Dr. Doomsday in the fold and keeping Doomsday's usual goal to eradicate all life in existence.
I grew up more as a DC fan. But I do like some Marvel. My 3rd favorite superhero of all time is Spider-Man. Batman is #1 and Superman #2. One of the reasons why I prefer DC over Marvel is the fantasy aspect to it. I think DC is a more interesting universe while I look at Marvel as a more grounded universe. Some of the Marvel characters I like are Hulk, The Punisher, Iron-Man, Wolverine, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Four, Blade, and Ghost Rider.
I'm a dc fan and I just simply love dc more then marvel I just feel like the lore is just great But one thing I must admit is that Marvel characters are getting insanely strong I truly belive that marvel character currently are over tons of dc characters in terms of strength
Both brands have there value. Dc have more larger then life characters while marvel have relatable characters. Spider man and Batman are definitely the faces of both brands with superman and Hulk being close seconds.
I think the whole "mythology" thing is my least fav part of DC, referring to them as gods etc. Its hard to relate to gods. I think the most interesting part of superman is that hes just a wholesome farm boy. However, my fav superhero is martian manhunter
I think the beauty of Superman though is he can be seen as a regular farm boy when need be but he can also ascend to a higher being when he needs too. That's why I like the mythological Gods representation. I know we need to relate to them sometimes but I also think they need to be much more than us.
@@tyrellmultimedia first things first, I love your content, whilst I may disagree with a lot your content i do love the videos you put out. My whole vibe with superman is that he's kind of the opposite of Batman, in that Bruce Wayne is the mask and batman is his true self. Clark Kent is superman at his core, just a nice human being.
Well Its clear to me that your conclusion of DCs difference from marvel arrived From the BATMAN movies and The DCEU. I think DC and Marvel are much more similar in terms of storytelling and characters than Their Obvious Differences.These arrive from the Fact that Both Marvel and DC writers had Worked for both the companies and written Great characters and Storylines.
I mean, i wouldnt say Marvel doesnt deal with themes of grey morality, specially with characters like magneto, black panther, daredevil, ghost rider, silver surfer, scarlet witch, loki, not to mention Captain and Iron Man. I guess im simply on the other side of the spectrum where DC's characters feel more distant to me though i eventually do wanna give them more of a chance. I can definitely say for now tho, i like Batman's villains much more than i like Batman himself
As for the one character I would steal from Marvel and put in DC, that would be Spider-Man, because of the fact that he leans more into the fantasy element and has a secret identity like the DC Characters do. So I think Spider-Man would definitely work very well in DC. Maybe even the X-Men, especially Wolverine. You can't kill him and he has a healing power and that's what makes him so interesting.
I'm a DC Main Because Of The Same Reason I prefer Cartoon Network over Nickelodeon Adults only offshoots Vertigo was leagues better than MAX just like Adult Swim become more relevant than Nick at Nite
That one story of Superman saved the boy from his abusive father and stopped the goth girl's suicide attempt instantly makes me become a fan of Superman and DC. Nuff said.
@@tyrellmultimedia like if joker was the main character of a comic or movie and they wanted to throw the 6 super hero’s how face off against him or show some theme with him against him
I've always liked both quite a bit, actually. One point confused me a bit however: DC's universe is less black and white than Marvel's in terms of morality. Is this more of a takeaway from the movies? I never really got that from reading the comics...
I'm a DC fan but honestly Marvel's way is better with superheroes that are actually people and not "living symbols." You can both relate to AND look up to Marvel's heroes but you can only look up to DC heroes and not relate to them. Also I hate how DC heroes are called "Gods" when Wonder Woman is the only one who counts as such and she's a demigod above all things
Idk man, I can relate to Green Lantern and Batman pretty well. Yeah I look up to them more than I relate to them but to say you can't just ain't right imo
@@mr.knightthedetective7435 First not a metahuman. Second, boiling them down to just that takes away from the character. By that logic Spider-Man is that guy with Spider-Powers. I can relate to Batman's obsession and dedication to his goal. Likewise I can also relate to Hal's struggles with fear and loss
@@connorharnage6697 Firstly Batman IS a metahuman, Amanda Waller said it herself Secondly there us noting human about a guy who can kick in half trees and survive atmosphere reentries using a f*cking cape Lastly, good point but Goku has similar drives to Batman yet I still don't relate to him
@@mr.knightthedetective7435 Yeah because when has Waller ever been wrong? Second, with the right training and tech, yeah a normal human could Three, to each their own
put spiderman in dc since he feels out of place sometimes like how his suffering , and also the fact heroes rarely help him in his battles when they should
Ben 10 was my favorite superhero I'd watch shows like the animated series, JL, the brave and the bold and JLU but the arkham games made batman my favorite superhero of all time. Spiderman was never really my favorite Ben 10 took that spot. The first superhero merch I've ever owned was a batman t-shirt.
I was literally just thinking that 😂. I honestly just preferred Ben 10 over Spiderman when I was younger. My first superhero shirt was Batman aswell. Second was Ben 10.
I think Marvel is too close to home sometimes and i don't want to read about this, i want to read about gods and their adventures, to be inspired to be better and feel that gravitas from the page. Though, i think there are some things from Marvel that i would love if they came to DC, like more iconic villains such as Magneto and Dr. Doom, all the cosmic stuff and the X-Men.
It's a rapid response video, had to make it quicker than usual. Also it's about how I view it as a mythology of DC and Batman and Superman were the easiest characters to get my points across in that time.
Anyone who thinks DC is just Batman and Superman don't know a whole lot. Read Judas Contract, Emerald Twilight, Identity Crisis. There are so many good DC stories where Superman and Batman play little to no role
I'll always value DC more. Superman,flash and nightwing inspired me to be a better person. It's important to my development.
Them three and spiderman and a few other marvel characters for me
@@thespartan9255yeah it’s them and 10 other DC characters for me.
Love that.
I once heard it said Marvel is about people trying to be gods, DC is about gods trying to be human.
I have also seen/heard this many times
this is one of those things that sounds good and correct until ypu really think on it
I’ve heard that too.
It’s true I heard that growing up as well
I've never really agreed with that statement tbh. Makes sense when you think about Superman or Wonder Woman, but completely falls apart when you consider Batman, Thor, Hercules, Spider-Man etc
I like Marvel and DC. There are intrinsic differences between the two, but I value both.
Same but I’m more drawn to marvel since they’re movies have been better imo
I agree and feel the same way. But I’d say I slightly gravitate toward DC more because I grew up with their animated shows from the DCAU, Teen Titans, Young Justice, etc. and my favorite character is Batman.
@@akilbrazier1421 Batman's my favorite too, but Spider-Man is a close second. I might be a little biased towards DC too, but I appreciate what both companies offer.
@@Jordan-ii4ip Spiderman is also my 2nd favorite superhero lol
@@akilbrazier1421 if your third favorite is Superman... I'm going to freak out.
If the X-Men were in DC, I'd buy every Quicksilver and Flash comic there is
Animated series and Nolan films made me DC for life. As a kid, I was watching the peak of the Cadmus arc. I made sure every saturday I watched it. Then Patriot Act, The Man who has everything, Epilogue. Though yes, Spiderman is always a kids favorite (Spectacular Spiderman), as well as the XMen (90s)
And Smallville!!!
I find Batman to be compelling because when it all comes down to it, he’s just a smart, rich guy, with excellent training. He’s not Meta or a mutant. No powers beyond a heightened sense of justice.
I love both Marvel and DC. While there are many characters I enjoy from both companies, I just don't take sides. I love both of them equally as they shaped my childhood and influenced me much more as I grew older. Characters like Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, The X-Men, Batman, Superman, and The Teen Titans among many others made me start collecting comics and watching the movies. 5:00 I get what you’re saying. A lot of people have said it and I do mostly agree, but it’s still kind of funny that DC feels more mythological than Marvel, even though Thor and Hercules are both prominent heroes over there.
I would create an Antman and Wisp show to show up mashup worlds by theme. DC & Marvel street-level heroes are in one world. DC & Marvel magic/horror characters are in another world etc. It’s pretty hard for me to choose what I like better between Marvel or DC. If u were to ask me what my favorite heroes of all time. It goes 1. Batman 2. Spider-Man 3 Captain America 4 Superman 5 the Flash (Barry) 6 the Hulk 7 green lantern(Hal Jordan) 8 Nightwing/robin(dick) 9 Thor 10 Wonder Woman. As u see based on my list the ranking fluctuates. One minute u see a dc hero over a Marvel hero and the next u see a Marvel hero over a dc. But if really really really had to choose I would say DC over Marvel only because unlike Marvel DC has way better side characters that can easily replace the main heroes. With Batman, you have Nightwing and the rest of the Robins along with the rest of the Bat family and Batman beyond. With Superman, you have a super girl and a super boy. With Wonder Woman you Donna Troy Wonder Girl. Flash Barry Allen has Wally West Flash. Hal Jordan Green Lantern or John Stewart Green Lantern can eventually later have Kyle Rayner Green Lantern. While Marvel really only has Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
that is my top 5 hot pick next this week to work on set a new stage okay 20:41 NOW PLAYING I am bored here and will make my own Cinematic Universe next week.
5. There was an article published 12 days ago where they revealed back in 1984 that Marvel almost purchased DC comics. Former Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter posted on his webpage back in 2011 that he received a phone call from Bill Sarnoff the chairman of Warner Books: “What we wanted to talk about was licensing the publishing rights for all DC characters to Marvel comics.”
4. The reason was how Marvel consistently outperformed DC in comics sales at the time. The seven DC titles that Marvel would have got were Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Teen Titans, Justice League, and the Legion of Superheroes. However, the deal never went through cuz Marvel was going through a lawsuit by a smaller indie publisher First Comics, and two well-known writers Frank Miller and Alan Moore (Watchman and Dark Knight Returns). When I was a kid I also liked Marvel more, but in my later teens I started to prefer DC more A huge selling point for DC is the villains. Fan consensus usually holds that Marvel has better heroes but DC has infinitely better villains. And I agree with the better villains part. For as fascinating as Magneto may be, he's easily outnumbered by amazing DC villains. I used to be a DC fan over Marvel, then a Marvel fan over DC and now I'm just a big fan of both (still trying to get more into the DC side tho) both are good to fix it as a threat to the comic industry.
3. I agree but I have always been a new Batman voice fan ever since I was a child I like Marvel for different reasons but yeah DC will always be what I gravitate to first I'm a huge DC fan Brilliant MY MAN!!
I agree that DC is more fantastical For me DC’s superiority comes from the complex vertigo comics with Sandman and Lucifer being some of the greatest comics that I’ve come across, I simply can’t find any Marvel counterpart for these characters, and stories. The endless are such interesting written concepts put any high-powered Marvel Cosmos to shame in terms of writing etc, even with goofiness and weirdness Doom Patrol takes the cake in that. It was never just about Superman, Batman, joker, watchmen, etc they’re just another big chunk to name from DC. Marvel is good though just not better.
As for the one character I would steal from Marvel and put in DC, that would be Spider-Man, because of the fact that he leans more into the fantasy element and has a secret identity like the DC Characters do.
2. So I think Spider-Man would definitely work very well in DC. Maybe even the X-Men, especially Wolverine. You can't kill him and he has a healing power and that's what makes him so interesting. To me, I don't really have a favorite I see them as close enough in similarity to the point I don't pick one over the other. Both are great in their own right and have their own strengths and weaknesses with how they are depicted I feel like reading DC is kind of like metaphors and Anthology.....I don't know how to explain it but DC feels like a huge real-life "what if" story, at least half of the time. I guess mythology might be a good comparison. Anyway, that's just me being a diehard Batman fan I guess, I like Marvel too but just new Spider-Man pretty much.....and I guess a few other select characters How would you do the Batman Who is Better Laughs in Top 10? My first thought of something to steal from Marvel was X-Men as well lol. I’d love to see Martian Manhunter interact with Magneto & Charles. I think Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man are the most interesting villains. That's one of the reasons why I rank them as my top 3.
I like DC more than Marvel for several reasons:
- Much better comics overall (especially limited series)
- Better characters overall (especially legacy ones)
- Much stronger villains and teams
- I like to look up to my heroes more than relate to them.
- A lot of comic creators I just love much more than over in Marvel
1. I am starting to read some Marvel comics recently and am honestly surprised by how depressing it is. Especially the Marvel civilians, they are psychopaths. Anyway, for me personally, Superman and Batman are the most relatable characters ever. Reasons I Like DC Over Marvel. DC has Green Lantern, but Marvel does not. I actually started as a Marvel fan due to the huge amount of Marvel TV Shows there in the '90s when I was a kid. X-Men, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Fantastic 4. The list goes on. In contrast, there were really only 2 DC TV Shows, Batman the Animated Show, and Superman.
part 1. So I was more into Marvel at the time. However, that changed in the early 2000s when the animated show Justice League aired. It introduced me to several new DC characters that I had never seen before (Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman. I knew about Wonder Woman but had never actually seen her before that show). Needless to say, I was into that show. I particularly found Green Lantern fascinating, and wanted to learn more about him.
part 2. A few years later, Teen Titans aired and I loved that show. It introduced me to several new characters, such as Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy, who was my favorite. But I think what really sold me on DC was the TV Show Young Justice, that aired a few years ago. I really love that show and it's what officially made me a DC fan. I began studying a bit on DC since I knew less about that than I did Marvel, and in the process, I learned more about the whole Lantern Mythos, with the different emotions and all that jazz. I fell in love with that concept and it's why Green Lantern is my favorite Superhero to this day, besides the fact that Hal is just super cool.
Dc’s output tends to be more interesting than Marvel’s in regards to comic books. The best Dc stories are mostly told answering the question “What are the implications of the existence of this larger than life character and how does their existence mold the society around them?” while Marvel stories are much more mundane, like “what if Reed Richards couldn’t pay his bills?” (btw, that’s a real storyline from the fantastic 4).
I think DC is more consistent in outputting interesting stories. But let’s not act like they don’t have their fair share of whimsical stuff.
Marvel stuff like Silver Surfer: Requiem, Spider-Man: Blue, literally Daredevil’s entire history, Immortal Hulk, and so on are pretty interesting and profound books.
To some degree these books aren’t hailed to the level of DC works since Marvel isn’t exactly popular for that style.
How, doesn't Reed have an IQ in like the 200's or higher?
simplyfying marvels characterd down to that when using a profound reason for DC is just unfair, as stan himself said "marvel is, has, and always will be, a reflection of the world outside your window" its more about asking questions about the meaning of life and the difficulty it entails but telling the story in a fantastical way. marvel has some of the most profound books out there i mean most great writers write for both companies for a reason
DC just feels a lot more fun compared to Marvel for me. I find the characters more interesting in general, I guess? Plus Bats and Soups are a lot more iconic than anyone in Marvel, apart from Spida of course.
Spida is like, along with Hulk and Wolverine, the most iconic Marvel hero.

Characters like Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, The X-Men, Batman, Superman and The Teen Titans among many others made me start collecting comics and watch the movies.
I'm much more of a Marvel guy. I love how someone like Spider-Man has all these powers and go on all these adventures but then stress out because they need to pay rent.
Thats what made Marvel so special at first. The concept of that alter ego part being a necessary story beat. Now they force the story and its bleh.
X-Men 🔥
That used to be the case. That’s why I hate ultimate Spider-Man and current Spider-Man
I get it I do love both universes The 1970s marvel in '80s marvel were awesome but overall the DC universe is just so deep and so just their characters are like mythic and I just love that like because they live in these fictional cities that something about the marvel real world thing sometimes loses me I love got them city metropolis Central City Star City it's just they take you to a comic book world that I love whereas Marvel's I love it but it's just not the same there's something about that DC universe Grant Morrison described why DC was better Read what he said it's just awesome
Dr Doom is the villain that should be in the DC universe He's so powerful that he really doesn't belong in marvel their characters aren't quite as powerful in Doom is so superior to most of these people he would fit right in in the DC universe I could see Doom taking on the Justice League in big epic stories like event comics and stuff were dooms taking over the world I would love to see that
I may be a loyal fan to Marvel, but I like and value DC just as much. Since both companies gave us some of the most iconic characters in fiction and keep each other on their toes with their rivalry. Plus in regards to your idea of bringing the X-Men over to DC and having interesting character dialogues, one that has been sticking with me for a while is one between Cyclops and Nightwing. Not only were both of their teams popular during the 90s- early 2000s especially the X-Men, but I can also see a rivalry( maybe a bitter one) form between them as Cyclops not only would be a dangerous rival because he's willing to make questionable choices, but his leadership is on par and arguably surpass Nightwing. On top of that, Cyclops has been through a lot more than Nightwing and I would love to see how these two clash.
There was a post going around a while ago that basically summed up the difference. Marvel is mortals wanting to be Gods and DC is Gods wanting to be mortals. Of course, it's not dead on 100% accurate for each and every one of their respective characters but it does reflect the over arching vibe of each universe. In my personal opinion, I think it's more poetic and deep to see characters that are powerful enough to end life as we know it, try to assimilate into this fragile little life we have; wanting to have the human experience.
NO
@@Iliren463Care to elaborate? I saw you give this reply already and I just hate one word answers that don't mean anything.
@@michaelclausen1135I agree, what I find captivating about a character like Superman is the fact that he's this larger than life character but deals with these very human emotions. Like falling in love with someone that doesn't give you the time of day, or getting annoyed or angry about the stuff you can't stop or prevent from happening. Superman may be invincible in many ways but he's still a farm boy at his heart.

@@WyattRota your misinterpreting the meaning of "god" in his comment. What he means is ordinary people becoming super
I grew up being a huge DC fan and I still am, my first favorite hero was Batman, I grew up watching Brave and the Bold on cartoon network, playing lego Batman, watching 1989's film and Mask of the Phantasm, even now I'm watching BTAS but my favorite now is Spider-Man because he's the kind of hero I need now, a relatable one. Also both have bangers and stinkers, it's why I prefer reading limited runs or getting an omnibus
4 things I prefer DC over Marvel
1DC's Heroes and their Sidekicks has better chemistries
2DC's Heroes and their Archenemies has better rivalries
3DC had a better Elseworlds/Multiverse stories
4personally I like the idea of DC heroes protecting each or their own

2Marvel character's superpowers has more variety and categories
3Marvel makes better"New"characters(specificly past 2010s）
4personally I think Marvel superheroes has better connection to each other

Marvel is just relatable nostalgia
Facts
My cousin put it best a long time ago when talking about comics; DC is about people being superheroes, Marvel is about superheroes being people. The majority of the struggles Marvel heroes go through are political or interpersonal drama, and I would much rather have epic heroics from my superheroes.
I keep seeing everyone bring up the "DC is gods trying to be human and vice versa" argument, but I think your words put it way better
Or I guess your cousin's words
I really enjoyed how you or anyone could relate to Batman. You brought some really great points and went into detail of your reasons.👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
DC is better because the worlds/homes of their heroes are NOT real world locations like Marvel. Almost every hero of Marvel lives in New York City, a city that everyone and their mother is familiar with because its real. DC on the other hand, they completely from-the-ground-up different and original locations/atmospheres.
New York must be the safest city on the planet in the Marvel universe. Which when you think about it, doesn’t even make sense. Because if Marvel was really all about “realism,” then why would they congregate all of their heroes in one city, instead of spreading them out like DC does? It doesn’t make sense. Police officers in real life are spread out all across the country. If they only focused on one city, the entire country would be up in flames. It’s the reason why the Green Lantern Corps has an assigned Lantern to different sectors. What Marvel does is unrealistic and dumb.
i completely agree with the X-men take. they are my favorite from marvel aside from spiderman. mutants would fit in perfectly with DC, and the X-men at its core to me have always been about an internal struggle of two sides and learning to love who you are. X-men have been so diverse with race, sexuality, religion, etc...which creates a more dynamic and colorful cast of characters and storylines. you can't fault charles or erik for their beliefs because they both have truths in them. there are so many X-men characters that have these internal struggles that are not so black and white, and it gives them more depth than most of their marvel counterparts.
i've always thought that x-men felt much more like the DCU than the MCU! Also the moral grayness of the DCU is so great to me and one of the reasons i prefer it to marvel
I love them both but i love DC more

Awesome video. I can't wait for the long form video talking about how you would introduce X-Men to DC and what kinds of stories you would tell.
I like DC more because my first introduction to Superheroes was the 60s Adam West "Batman" TV series, the Christopher Reeve "" Superman " movies and the Linda Carter" Wonder Woman" TV series.
The only Marvel Superheroes I knew growing up where Spiderman (based on the animated series and the short-lived live action series with Nicholas Hammond) and the Incredible Hulk, because of the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno TV series.
Liked the DC comics more than the Marvel ones (The Hulk comics were nothing like the TV series so they bored me).
Had no interest in the MCU but have seen every Batman film they have put out.

im sure you already know, but regarding the second question, you might enjoy doom patrol. some theorize that the x-men were partially inspired by them. but two months ago ive been reading some their runs (i gotta get around to the 60s ones) and they're my fav superhero team atm i think
Ya I truthfully never gave them the time of day. However, I may change that.

So much about them is unique. And some of Marvel's most memorable characters come from the X-Men. It also helps too that Magneto and Wolverine are my favourite Marvel characters.
@tyrellmultimedia magneto gotta be one of the coldest villians in comics
I would create mashup worlds by theme. Dc & Marvel street level heroes are in one world. Dc & Marvel magic/horror characters are in another world etc etc.
I've often thought that the more mythic status of DC could be owed almost entirely to Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. This is in no way a bad thing. You could easily list positive qualities that are absolutely embodied by those three: Superman - hope, optimism; Wonder Woman - love and compassion; Batman - discipline, determination, etc. I don't know that Marvel heroes have ever been tied to absolute ideals in that same way. Just my thoughts after watching this...
DC is about Gods Among Us, Marvel is about men trying to become gods
I prefer DC, there are several reasons for this. But mainly, outside Batman, they allow their character to grow and legacy does exist. Also, how do you feel about Teen Titans DCU news? And what team would you have? I would want Tim Drake as a Robin or Red Robin for the Teen Titans film. That way, Nightwing can have his movie and Damian can just have a trilogy with Batman brave & bold.
@Yunotheherp but what about Spider-Man?
I feel like I can get lost in DC while Marvel feels like putting superheroes in our world with all the same problems or even worse.
While DC is like a fantasy setting, Gotham is like a dystopian gothic version of New York City while Metropolis is sometimes a sister city or all the way on the other side of the country.
Another thing I like is the syfy feel of the Green Lanterns lore. Its a ashamed what happened to that character with all the disrespect. He was on top he had his own animated series/movies and even got his own live action movie. Until that movie ruined all the momentum Green Lantern had.
both are a threat to the comic industry.
It’s pretty hard for me to choose what I like better between marvel or dc. Because if u were to ask me what my favorite heroes of all time. It goes 1. Batman 2. Spider-Man 3 captain America 4 Superman 5 the flash(Barry) 6 the hulk 7 green lantern(hal Jordan) 8 nightwing/robin(dick) 9 Thor 10 Wonder Woman. As u see based on my list the ranking fluctuates. One minute u see a dc hero over a marvel hero and the next u see a marvel hero over a dc. But if really really really had to choose I would say dc over marvel only because unlike marvel dc have way better side characters that can easily replace the main heroes. With Batman you have nightwing and the rest of the robins along with rest of the bat family and Batman beyond. With Superman you have super girl and super boy. With Wonder Woman you Donna Troy wonder girl. Flash Barry Allen has wally west flash. Hal Jordan green lantern or John Stewart green lantern can eventually later have Kyle rayner green lantern. While marvel really only has peter Parker and miles morales.
Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, which is similar to Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd.
@@geeebuttersnap2433 peter and miles, Steve and bucky, outside of that what do u really have ? The likes of war machine, she hulk, Jane foster, elektra, shuri, etc aren’t nearly as popular as wally west flash, nightwing, supergirl, Kyle rayner green lantern, etc
Feel like I may be in the minority but my favorite hero as a child was always Robin/Nightwing(Dick Grayson). His costumes were always dope and he was very much like Spider-Man. Later I grew to like more Batman Flash Spider-Man etc.. but 1 is always Grayson. BTAS and Teen Titans is why. I was legit upset whenever Robin wasn’t in an episode.
To me i dont really have a favorite i see them as close enough in similarity to the point i dont pick one over the other. Both are great in their own right and have their own strengths and weaknesses with how they are depicted
If there is one of the reasons why I like DC over Marvel is that they do a better job embracing that they are a comic book company and don’t always try to be realistic or down to earth
My first thought of something to steal from Marvel was X-Men as well lol.

I prefer both DC and Marvel as both comic franchises are unique in their own way. Although many Marvel characters are inspired from DC but these inspired characters have their own style and backstory. Many people in the comment section say DC is inspiring and Marvel is for nostalgia is not true, both DC and Marvel have inspiring stories and themes.
I think Batman, Superman and Spider-Man have the most interesting villians. That's one of the reasons why I rank them as my top 3.
Apart from Batman, DC is so underrepresented in modern media. Most people nowadays think Superman is a joke, which is beyond my comprehension. Check out the DC Animated Universe for some high-quality material.
Sorta sucks too. Since characters like Flash, the Green Lantern, Firestorm and Blue Beetle are all amazing
@@connorharnage6697 My brother has been a DC collector for over 35 years, and Blue Beetle is his second favorite, after Batman, of course.
Superman is one of the greatest and most interesting characters ever created
His logo is up there with The Cross
Over 80 years of Iconic, legendary, inspirational, generational lore
You wouldn't have Marvel, Star Wars, Anime, Manga, Superpowers SUPERHEROES in general if it wasn't for Superman
Superman started it all. You should give him respect
I agree but I was always a Batman fan first ever since I was a child but I like marvel for different reasons but yeah DC will always be what I gravitate to first I'm a huge DC fan
I like both
I don’t understand the fandom feud. There are great characters, comics, and movies from both. And there are terrible ones from both.
Enjoy the stories you enjoy.
Probably best to stay away from those fueds then. That's not what this video is about anyways. It's about my personal preference.
I am starting to read some marvel comics recently, and honestly surprised how depressing it is. Especially the marvel civilians, they are psychopath. Anyway, for me personally, Superman and Batman are the most relatable characters ever.
Yea that’s one of the main things I hate about marvel they try to make the civilians just seem straight up evil especially during x men comics. At that point why even try to help them.
But the world is becoming like that today.
I like DC more than Marvel for several reasons:
- Much better comics overall (especially limited series)
- Better characters overall (especially legacy ones)
- Much stronger villains and teams
- I like to look up to my heroes more than relate to them.
- A lot of comic creators I just love much more than over in Marvel
“I look up to my heroes more than I relate to them”
Marvel heroes are more inspiring than dc heroes
Spider man teaches us to take up responsibility with the power we pocess
X men teach us to never be ashamed of who we are
Fantastic Four teach us to value family and to welcome new ones (like the silver surfer)
Iron man is about realizing you can be greater than what you are and the potential you have
Captain America teaches us to be a role model and leader, but also being righteous
Thor encourages us to embrace changes to our lives
Hulk, wolverine, and black widow teach us to move on from our past traumas that haunt us
The avengers (when they’re all together) teach us to never give up and the value of teamwork.
Daredevil teaches us to never let our disadvantages get in the way of our dreams
“Much stronger villains and teams”
The avengers, x men, fantastic four, guardians of the galaxy, are better than dc teams and doom, magneto, green goblin, thanos, Loki, galactus, dormammu, kingpin, the leader, etc are better than dc villains
@@NHTube1I think ur just a dc hater man. Dc is more inspirational and marvel is more reliable its just facts. You literally have superman representing hope and a better tommorow the man we all should strive to become.
Dc has way better villains. The entire batman rogues gallery,Darkseid, even most superheros archnemis are more recognizable reverse flash, black adam, lex luthor
You have the justice league which is literally great people comming together to create a difference because they know they can do better as a group then individually. Also the justice league is just more epic and majestic. You have the teen titans a group of sidekicks learning their way in the world and growing into their own superhero
@@vincentluong7550 I am not a dc hater I enjoy their characters and stories i just enjoy marvels way more
They are both great and I watch and read both. I tend to like Marvel more because the characters were much more relatable imo. You can see yourself in their characters and you look at a DC character and their unattainable abilities and goals. Plus I started comics in the 90’s and the art was much brighter and playful back then.
Nolan And DC animated got me into DC when I was kid but my first exposure to a superhero media was Eric Bana Hulk Flim I wanted be like bro so bad my mom told me eat veggies and I can jump around the desert like him
Calling DC a “Mythos” isn’t crazy cause I literally thought about if Kratos came to American Mythology he’d be fighting superhero’s 😂
Precisely. Superhero's in a lot of ways are Western societies mythology. It has all the lore that would make it similar to Greek/Norse/Roman myth.
I simply like more DC characters and their shows
DC has better villians.
Just Batman alone has a great Rogue gallery.
I always loved DC over Marvel
But if there was one chacter i would what in Dc it would be Galactus and Dr Doom.
DC chacters each have more interesting conpect green lantern, flash, batman and more. DC also feels more iconic. If you read the comics of course. But i like Spiderman too.
Dr Doom would be interesting in DC. The power struggle would get interesting between Luthor and him.
@@tyrellmultimedia he could be a Superman villain him in lex luthor are basically the same person.
Not really on either side, just grew up watching both IPs. Been more into the MCU since 2016 though.
They have absolutely dominated with the MCU. I know the consensus is that they've dropped in quality since Endgame but something tells me they won't stay down long. However, regardless if they do or not, anyone trying to simulate their success will not have it easy or might even see it as impossible.
i agree that dc is more fantastical
Dc characters have better individual stories overall while most of marvels individual stories are with their street level heroes and some other heroes like wolverine and blade
Yet all the Marvel movies are interconnected and have a shared universe, yet the highest grossing DC films in the last 20 years were the "Dark Knight" trilogy, "Joker" and "The Batman", all of which are standalone films.
The X-Men should stay in a separate universe.
Honestly, I agree. While obviously certain specific X-Men members scream "MARVEL" to me, such as Wolverine and Deadpool, the concept of mutants as a whole and their racial-esque struggle feels pretty out of place in the Marvel universe, and would as well in the DC universe, especially when you consider that other meta-humans and super-powered individuals exist yet catch nowhere near as much flak from the public.
@@danic_c agreed, the X-Men universe used to be separate from Marvel if I remember correctly.
no i want to see my x-men and avengers interact
Hell no whats the point of putting them inside of a shared universe if there going to stay in a seperate one?
I used to be more Marvel than DC because as a kid those were the very first comics I ever read. I always loved how realistic the characters were and how cool the origin stories were; however, I still love Marvel but I prefer DC mostly because DC represents what super heroes should be. Optimistic, aspirational, more iconic stories that you would put in a comic book class like Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, also people love to complain about the all the DC characters being “overpowered,” which I don’t personally believe, but when they use their powers, they use their powers for good purposes. It’s not the super, it’s the hero that makes the difference. All Star Superman shows this.
The problem for me is that I HATE all the superheroes in the Avengers. Ironman is a jerk, Hawkeye is boring, hulk is boring and then gets way too overpowered, Thor is so inaccurate from actual mythology is angers me. Black widow is fine I guess.
Great video, great points.... I prefer the animated movies though, i feel the stories more.... More stuff less fluff you know?😏..... Oh yeah, im a DC guy.....✌🇹🇹
The animated stuff from the 90's-2010's is unbeatable.
@@tyrellmultimediawhat about the movies which one does it better?
@@DrnoobzHermidaMarvel. They have a multi billion dollar franchise on their side. However, I have personal beloved DC movies I would rather watch than the MCU.
@@tyrellmultimedia but what about the Sam rami Spider-Man movies what’s your opinion on them?
Just like you I loved Spider-Man as a kid, from the animated series and the Raimi movies. But in early high school I saw a video about how some super powers wouldn’t really work in real life, one of which was super speed. This made me sad so I began doing a bunch of research to prove what the guy in the video said was wrong. And for super speed, I started off my research by watch the CW’s Flash. And from then on, that is how I became the DC fan I am today.
One of the more interesting and different ways of becoming a fan that I've heard before!
I like both DC and Marvel, but I like DC because of the Villains and Marvel because of the Heroes.
L opinion
@@jhngrg8132cope
Can you shut up with your stupid criticism DC And Marvel are both good since i own movies of marvel and dc and poster They both had great comics and movies so pls shut it with your stupid criticism and stop putting marvel down as well.
i honestly just like dc characters much more, especially the villains
One below all says hi 👋 thanos says hi 👋 ultron says hi 👋 doctor doom says hi 👋 the beyonder says hi 👋 iron monger says hi 👋 kang says hi 👋
@@Dobbythecat123 gotta be honest i only recognise thanos ultron and dr doom from that list.
@@Dobbythecat123None of these villains are better than the likes of Joker, Lex Luthor, Darkseid, Sinestro, The Reverse Flash or the Anti-Monitor
@@connorharnage6697 I gotta be honest I only recognise joker, Lex, reverse flash and darkside
@@Dobbythecat123 Sinestro is basically Hal Jordan Green Lantern's Joker. A former Green Lantern who left to form the Sinestro Corps, a Corp powered by fear instead of willpower (People who have never read a comic call them Yellow Lanterns)
Anti-Monitor is the being behind Crisis on Infinite Earths and the second most powerful villain in the DCU besides Darkseid
MY MAN!!
For me, I'm more into the Amalgam Universe. The fusion of Marvel and DC.
They ought to bring that universe back in a sort of reboot where the various Marvel and DC characters have more fitting fusions. But I advise keeping Dr. Doomsday in the fold and keeping Doomsday's usual goal to eradicate all life in existence.
I grew up more as a DC fan. But I do like some Marvel. My 3rd favorite superhero of all time is Spider-Man. Batman is #1 and Superman #2. One of the reasons why I prefer DC over Marvel is the fantasy aspect to it. I think DC is a more interesting universe while I look at Marvel as a more grounded universe. Some of the Marvel characters I like are Hulk, The Punisher, Iron-Man, Wolverine, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Fantastic Four, Blade, and Ghost Rider.
I love dc more. But I gotta admit, I love me some x-men.
I'm a dc fan and I just simply love dc more then marvel I just feel like the lore is just great
But one thing I must admit is that Marvel characters are getting insanely strong I truly belive that marvel character currently are over tons of dc characters in terms of strength
I haven't been able to look at Marvel the same since "Superior" Spider-Man happened.
And DC characters are complicated op
How would you do the Batman Who Laughs?
Both brands have there value. Dc have more larger then life characters while marvel have relatable characters.
Spider man and Batman are definitely the faces of both brands with superman and Hulk being close seconds.
I think the whole "mythology" thing is my least fav part of DC, referring to them as gods etc. Its hard to relate to gods. I think the most interesting part of superman is that hes just a wholesome farm boy. However, my fav superhero is martian manhunter
I think the beauty of Superman though is he can be seen as a regular farm boy when need be but he can also ascend to a higher being when he needs too. That's why I like the mythological Gods representation. I know we need to relate to them sometimes but I also think they need to be much more than us.
@@tyrellmultimedia first things first, I love your content, whilst I may disagree with a lot your content i do love the videos you put out. My whole vibe with superman is that he's kind of the opposite of Batman, in that Bruce Wayne is the mask and batman is his true self. Clark Kent is superman at his core, just a nice human being.
Well Its clear to me that your conclusion of DCs difference from marvel arrived From the BATMAN movies and The DCEU.
I think DC and Marvel are much more similar in terms of storytelling and characters than Their Obvious Differences.These arrive from the Fact that Both Marvel and DC writers had Worked for both the companies and written Great characters and Storylines.
Well sure. But it's also just my preference.
The X-Men existing in DC is just brilliant.
DC in the eighties suggested to Marvel that they license/sell all their comic book characters to Marvel, Marvel's higher bosses refused.
I mean, i wouldnt say Marvel doesnt deal with themes of grey morality, specially with characters like magneto, black panther, daredevil, ghost rider, silver surfer, scarlet witch, loki, not to mention Captain and Iron Man.
I guess im simply on the other side of the spectrum where DC's characters feel more distant to me though i eventually do wanna give them more of a chance. I can definitely say for now tho, i like Batman's villains much more than i like Batman himself
As for the one character I would steal from Marvel and put in DC, that would be Spider-Man, because of the fact that he leans more into the fantasy element and has a secret identity like the DC Characters do. So I think Spider-Man would definitely work very well in DC. Maybe even the X-Men, especially Wolverine. You can't kill him and he has a healing power and that's what makes him so interesting.
I'm a DC Main Because Of The Same Reason I prefer Cartoon Network over Nickelodeon Adults only offshoots Vertigo was leagues better than MAX just like Adult Swim become more relevant than Nick at Nite
Good video I like them both but I like marvel a little more my favourite is Captain America and Batman
While I do like both dc and marvel. I like dc more because of the characters relatability. Among other reasons
That one story of Superman saved the boy from his abusive father and stopped the goth girl's suicide attempt instantly makes me become a fan of Superman and DC. Nuff said.
I like Marvel and DC Comics. My favorite comic character is DC's Damian Wayne, Son of Batman, but I personally have always seen marvel as better
Day 9 of asking for a villains super 6/sinister 6
Villains super 6? As in the Legion of Doom or something else?
@@tyrellmultimedia no like Jokers Sinster like Batman Robin Nightwing Batgirl Green Arrow and the flash something like that
@@tyrellmultimedia like if joker was the main character of a comic or movie and they wanted to throw the 6 super hero’s how face off against him or show some theme with him against him
I've always liked both quite a bit, actually. One point confused me a bit however: DC's universe is less black and white than Marvel's in terms of morality. Is this more of a takeaway from the movies? I never really got that from reading the comics...
I'm a DC fan but honestly Marvel's way is better with superheroes that are actually people and not "living symbols." You can both relate to AND look up to Marvel's heroes but you can only look up to DC heroes and not relate to them. Also I hate how DC heroes are called "Gods" when Wonder Woman is the only one who counts as such and she's a demigod above all things
Idk man, I can relate to Green Lantern and Batman pretty well. Yeah I look up to them more than I relate to them but to say you can't just ain't right imo
@@connorharnage6697
You relate to a test pilot and a billionaire metahuman?
@@mr.knightthedetective7435 First not a metahuman. Second, boiling them down to just that takes away from the character. By that logic Spider-Man is that guy with Spider-Powers. I can relate to Batman's obsession and dedication to his goal. Likewise I can also relate to Hal's struggles with fear and loss
@@connorharnage6697
Firstly Batman IS a metahuman, Amanda Waller said it herself
Secondly there us noting human about a guy who can kick in half trees and survive atmosphere reentries using a f*cking cape
Lastly, good point but Goku has similar drives to Batman yet I still don't relate to him
@@mr.knightthedetective7435 Yeah because when has Waller ever been wrong?
Second, with the right training and tech, yeah a normal human could
Three, to each their own
Hey hey
Hey!
Interesting take
put spiderman in dc since he feels out of place sometimes like how his suffering , and also the fact heroes rarely help him in his battles when they should
Ben 10 was my favorite superhero I'd watch shows like the animated series, JL, the brave and the bold and JLU but the arkham games made batman my favorite superhero of all time.
Spiderman was never really my favorite Ben 10 took that spot.
The first superhero merch I've ever owned was a batman t-shirt.
I was literally just thinking that 😂.
I honestly just preferred Ben 10 over Spiderman when I was younger. My first superhero shirt was Batman aswell.
Second was Ben 10.
I think Marvel is too close to home sometimes and i don't want to read about this, i want to read about gods and their adventures, to be inspired to be better and feel that gravitas from the page. Though, i think there are some things from Marvel that i would love if they came to DC, like more iconic villains such as Magneto and Dr. Doom, all the cosmic stuff and the X-Men.
Image fusion of DC and Marvel universe's, Civil War 6
I don't know man, you kinda proving again that DC is just Batman and Superman.
It's a rapid response video, had to make it quicker than usual. Also it's about how I view it as a mythology of DC and Batman and Superman were the easiest characters to get my points across in that time.
Anyone who thinks DC is just Batman and Superman don't know a whole lot. Read Judas Contract, Emerald Twilight, Identity Crisis. There are so many good DC stories where Superman and Batman play little to no role
@@connorharnage6697 exactly. Just ignore those movie fanboys
If you think that, it clearly shows you don't read comics
