I also think it's because everyone is riding Batman's dick. He's the ultimate "badass dark and epic" hero which makes all the loners and teenagers look up to him cause they feel cooler being a fan of Batman.

All of a sudden, The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man show up and they start -blam!- talking both of them when they haven't seen it because "Batman is better". I swear, some people are so stupid, having their comic knowledge based off of movies.

Batman fanboys who blindly attack other heroes, don't read the comics, and only watch the Nolan movies are cancer, imo.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

DC's process is ridiciulous because they're making movies soley because they know it will get lots of money. Yes, that's true for all movies, but for Marvel they have a producer with a clear vision for every movie, and they then get directors with passion for the characters. They built up the Avengers and then delivered a home run.
DC did that too. Before Marvel did, in 2005 when they got Christopher Nolan to do the Batman trilogy, and they got Zack Snyder to do Watchmen. They got directors that were interested in the project and characters.

With DC, they made one failed movie in hopes to build up a universe, (Green Lantern), and now they're jumping straight for the team of characters angle to capitalize on Avenger's success. Green Lantern wasn't an attempt to build a DC universe, none of the DC movies thus far have been. So your still comparing the Marvel movieverse to a DC equivalent that doesn't exist because it hasn't been necessary.

And stop bringing up Batman, it's not made by DC. It was made entirely by Nolan.It's a DC comics movie. No DC movies were made by DC comics, they're Warner Brothers movies because WB owns DC.

In actuality its because Marvel's characters translate better to the screen. Of DC's lineup, only Batman isn't so hokey that he ends up being a joke. Marvel's characters, in contrast, are pretty complex. They have their own internal strengths and weaknesses. Tony Stark was an Alcoholic, Hulk can't control himself, Captain America believes in the America of the 40's, and frequently is at odds with the America of the 2000's.

I could keep going on and on. Look at DC's line-up. Superman. Invincible alien do-gooder. That's it. Green Lantern, space-cop with a green ring that can do anything. Flash, the fastest man on Earth, arrogant....

Only Batman is as complex a character as a Marvel hero.

This. Everyone in this thread has to agree most DC characters are overpowered as hell, which makes difficult for the audience to care about their "struggles".


Every comic book hero is massively OP. That doesn't mean they can't be done right in movies.
Except I never said anything about being overpowered.

Dr Manhattan is the definition of OP, but he has a good character that translates well to the screen. Most DC staple characters are too one dimensional to be good screen characters.

I was responding to CharlesBrown, but okay I'll respond to you too.

Just because DC's characters are written one dimensionally in comics doesn't mean they can't be adapted to have more depth in the films.

Marvel just got the guts to do it first.

Marketing is a tricky game, while being the first to pull a punch can fail horribly, and the other guy learn from the other's mistakes, occaisionally the first to strike will hit it so out of the park that it's impossible to measure up to it.

This time, Marvel seems to have won.

But I still want my Hellboy/Lobster Johnson movie.

But the audience would have problems identifying with the characters. People look at the flaws when they look for similarities.

It certainly doesn't help when the majority of DC characters are immune to bullets and could kill you with the flick of a finger.

Meanwhile, Spiderman, a fair chunk of the X-Men, Iron Man, etc can all die from a well-placed bullet from a .44 magnum.

Furthermore, they are all so psychologically messed up that they are likely the ones pulling the trigger.
