Who has the better flicks? DC or Marvel?

I was sitting here thinking about the last flick I saw in theaters, The Green Lantern. And then I thought about how many comic book movies there are and how many more are to come. Who do you guys think does the better job? DC or Marvel? I've always been a Marvel kinda guy, but here lately, the Marvel movies have been lacking and The Green Lantern was pretty good. Sure, that last Superman fiasco DC did is hard to forget. So, which company makes better flicks?

Toss up.
Marvel has alot of enjoyable movies, but DC has some of the better quality ones, but most of theirs are junk.
Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are their 2 standouts.
I will watch both if it's interesting, unlike Green Lantern.

Marvel has the best body of work, but DC has the best individual film in The Dark Knight.

Sorry, I am not on the DC bandwagon. I want my superheroes to have super powers and not just be a vigilante with cool toys. Ironman (he's my exception to the cool toy rule), Thor, Xmen, Spiderman, Blade, Ghost Rider (Nic Cage fan), and Wolverine (only because Ryan Reynolds' 10 mins as DeadPool).

DC has much better animated films and series than Disney/Marvel

In the last 10 years, I think it really boils down to two superheroes going head-to-head: Spider-Man vs. Batman. Both do a great job. Since there are 3 Spider-Man flicks vs. 2 Batman/Dark Knight movies, I'm leaning towards Marvel on this question. But get back to me in a year after Dark Knight Rises is released and my answer may change.

Is this throughout their history, or limited to the revitalization of superhero flicks in the past 10 years or so?

DC has some pretty good older movies, namely the original Superman and the Tim Burton Batman/Batman Returns (and a couple HUGE stinkers, like Batman & Robin and Steel). DC also has some excellent animated films, if those count.

Marvel had pretty much nothing pre-2000... the original Blade, a Punisher movie in the 80's... all of their success has come recently.

I tend to disagree with those DC fans. maybe DC has the longest body of work, but they are still lacking in having that success cross over into the 2000's and beyond, with only a few exceptions. marvel has started kinda late, but so far they hold the records between the two companies concerning the total highest grossing out of their movies. maybe next year I'll change my mind, but for now i'm sticking with marvel.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
