Both abound in the superheroes we have come to know and love like Batman, Iron Man, Captain America, Superman and many more. However, Marvel creates better movies. DC popularity is falling due to the lack of continuity within the extended universe.
The Justice League is often said to have too much action and too grim and gritty. DC storylines can also be difficult to follow with their casting inconsistencies, making the stories all-the-more confusing. DC tries hard to emulate marvel movies but fail to reach Marvel's standards.
Marvel shows tend to just focus on the main superhero, not the supporting characters. This leads to the show feeling kind of bland. DC also has more well known characters. If you ask anyone to name a superhero, Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman will most likely be the first person they name.
From magic-users to Kryptonians to the Flash Family, Marvel can't match DC's power. Even Marvel's mutants would fall against a concerted assault from a team of Flashes. Marvel's heroes taking on DC's heroes would be a universe-shaking battle fans would love to see, but in the end, DC is walking away as the victor.
The biggest reason DC films are a mess is there has been a lack of unifying vision throughout the DCEU history, with nobody like Feige to oversee the films and the cinematic universe. And no, Zack Snyder is not it as his vision was already roundly rejected by both critics and fans.
Some factors that could contribute to perceived fatigue include the frequency of releases, formulaic storytelling, and the challenge of keeping narratives fresh. Keep in mind that James Gunn and Peter Safran announced DC Studios in January and the new slate of films. Shazam!
Originally Answered: Will the DC universe films ever be as successful as Marvel films? No. They may have some good films like Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam but the others? They're big films.
While Superman could potentially overpower Thor, blows rendered by the mystical Mjolnir would likely impose serious damage on the Kryptonian hero. With his super-speed, the Man of Steel could probably avoid the Thunder God's lightning, but not necessarily, since Thor is just as fast.
Confirmed as the MCU's most powerful superhero, the Scarlet Witch would make short work of Superman. Had Thanos's forces not interrupted her in Avengers: Endgame, she would have defeated the Mad Titan, and the Man of Steel would be similarly overpowered by the Avenger.
Aside from enhanced strength and speed, Cap also gained enhanced reflexes — enough to dodge bullets from point-blank range. While Batman, though more reflexive than an average human, just wouldn't cut it in the reflexes department. In a Batman vs Captain America reflex-combat, America would take the win.
During the survey, the majority of respondents said that they had no preference for Marvel over DC Comics for any media type, however Marvel was overall more popular. Whilst 39 percent said that they preferred Marvel movies, just five percent said the same about DC Comics films.
In the study, Marvel comes out on top, being the favourite in 51 countries and taking 85% share of the results. Marvel has released several hugely successful movie series such as Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers making their blockbusters household names.
DC Comics has long had a reputation for being a more lighthearted, traditional, and "nice" universe of superheroes and supervillains. On the other hand, Marvel Comics' shared universe is supposedly one that's grittier, more relatable, and more realistic.
The DCEU lacks originality when dealing with its characters. Oftentimes, it will produce repetitive films and origin stories of the same characters. The MCU, however, has produced a vast number of films with incredibly different storylines and characters.
When counting down the most powerful DC cosmic characters of all time, the number one has to be DC's version of God, known as The Presence. While there are numerous Gods in the DC pantheon, mostly from the Greek versions of Zeus and his offspring, the Presence is more powerful than them all.
However, the film feels like a passionless mess, which can probably be attributed to its numerous production and post-production issues. While the DCEU has been a mess since 2016, the past two years have brought the superhero franchise to an unceremonious end … and an uncertain future. In 2022, Warner Bros.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
The now-infamous mid-credits scene in 2022's Black Adam famously reintroduced Henry Cavill's Superman as a force capable of stopping the antihero, teeing up a showdown that will now never happen.
While Thanos might have the brute strength to defeat Thor, for example, it's a different matter when it comes to the Big Blue Boy Scout. That's because Superman remains much more powerful than Thanos — meaning that, in a straight fight, the former is bound to take the latter down.
It's important to note that the rules around worthiness had been temporarily suspended to allow this to happen. As soon as the fight was over, Superman couldn't lift the hammer anymore. However, under normal circumstances, without any weird interference, Superman is worthy of Mjolnir.
No. Thor's hammer is extremely durable. We've seen Superman hit with things before that didn't break. The only way I see a fight with Thor & Superman ending with Mjolnir broken is if Superman punched it as hard as he could while Thor was swinging it as hard as he could.
Goku is probably stronger than Thor at full power, but that's debatable. Both of them have amazing energy powers at similar levels, but the Thorforce is a more powerful source of power than Goku's Saiyan genes. Mjolnir is an amazing weapon and Thor is a master of it, giving Thor more combat options than Goku.
Superman and Wonder Woman can easily break Captain America's shield with one blow. Green Lantern is a strong candidate (imagine creating a giant hammer to pummel the Avengers). Thor, with his Stormbreaker and Hulk, is a commendable foe, but not nearly enough.
The leader of the New Gods is Highfather, who's connected to the Source, which is one of the greatest forms of power in the Multiverse. He's not known for engaging in battle, but against someone like Galactus, he'd make an exception. Highfather's power is more than enough to defeat Galactus.
But when it comes to outrunning or even beating Thanos, the Scarlet Speedster takes the cake. He can cover and traverse distances faster than any other superhero and can outpace and overcome even the Mad Titan himself. Flash is the pinnacle of speed and agility.
