Come on nerds and geeks, feel fee to sound off.

I grew up loving the DC universe but liked X-Men and Spider-Man. Marvel is certainly doing better at the box office it seems. Hoping the Justice League movie can turn that around but I'm not holding my breath.

    DC only because of Batman and Sandman. They just seem more dark and gritty compared to Marvel. DC movies are horrible and nobody can do them justice (heh) as of late. Yeah, Fingers crossed Suicide Squad turns out to be the redeemer. Wonder Woman could have potential (Only good thing about BvS).

    Agree on DC/Batman. Christian Bale's version is the one bright spot. Enjoyed Wonder Woman but I think BVS underutilized her...she could have added a lot more.

    DC from the few comics I've read

    As for movies, Avengers 2 was the last straw. I'm sick of it all. I'm watching Dr. Strange for the actors and Suicide Squad for a friend.

    Marvel. Granted DC has more interesting worlds and backgrounds, but I feel like Marvel has pretty solid characters. Especially in cinema.

    Big changes afoot Film Wise, I think.
    We're A.D. now - After Deadpool.
    I think that's a game changer.

    Comic wise Marvel has some pretty epic stuff, Old Man Logan, Kraven's Last Hunt etc. But it's gonna be tough for anything to match up to Killing Joke or Red Son.

    TV Wise - DareDevil. D'Onofrio and Beranthal were immense.

    I didn't mind BvS, intact I quite enjoyed it. Nothing will beat the Heath ledger and Bale combo though.

    Dead pool is awsome. I agree with the above and think this is a game changer.

    Regarding Marvel TV shows I really enjoyed marvels Dare Devil and Jessica Jones as they're more on the dark side than programmes such as agents of shield.

    For DC series it's the same type of scenario, I love Gotham but the flash and legends of tomorrow are too light hearted

    DC definitely has the better characters. However their universe is convoluted with the multiple Earths and reboots.

    I like both. I have always read more DC comics and watched most of the animated movies. I didn't use to watch Spiderman and X-Men cartoons. I have only read a few comics of Marvel though. I just get more into the DC comics. I also have really enjoyed the Marvel movies a lot more than DC. The DC movies have been kind of disappointing.

    I like DC comics and their animated stuff better. The characters are generally more mature.
    Marvel's movies are fine.

    I read plenty of both though, and enjoy them. It's just that sometimes the relentless teenage-drama vibes of say, the X-Men, can get to be a bit much.

    But, it varies by era/writer anyhow, so it's tough to generalize. The same staff usually work for both companies at some point.
