That DC makes great cartoons but not so great movies and Marvel makes great movies but not so great cartoons?  Now, it's not 100% true, but it's pretty close to true.  |

DCAU has Bruce Timm & Paul Dini
But seriously X-men & Spider-man Rocked for Marvel

I happen to think they both make great cartoons and movies. Batman Begins, X-Men cartoon from the 90s (or even X-Men Evolution), I rather enjoyed Constantine. |

You have a good point but part of the reason I believe is because DC has not tapped into their full potential in terms of characters to movies. Marvel is now resorting to lesser known characters they have done so much but so far DC has only done
Batman
Superman
Catwoman
as their MOVIES.
If they made like a Green Lantern film or Wonder Woman film things would be better. It's also hard because about 1/2 of DC's films suck. If they had more movies it would lower the rate.

X-Men
Spider-Man
Hulk was decent iirc
vs. Batman, JLU, and I guess Superman(though him being more vulnerable than Batman every episode was really dumb)
Batman 1,2,3, and 5
Superman 1 and 2
vs. Spiderman 1 and 2, X Men 1 and 2, Iron Man and maybe the new hulk (haven't seen)
Probably forgot a few, but looks about even.

Is DC really making the Shazam! movie or not?
I would love to see Patrick Warburton vs. The Rock in that movie.

You know one Marvel cartoon I wish did better, Silver Surfer, it only got one lousy season before it was dropped.  Now we'll never know if the Surfer saved the Universe from Thanos. |

All I know is I wish that Jetix on Toon Disney would show more episodes of the Batman TAS instead of looping the 30 or so they do now.

Bringing up SWAMP THING only reminds me of Marvel's ABYSMAL movie, MAN-THING.
THAT was an 11 on the scale o SUCK.

Not so much for the "Marvel-ness" of it (as it's quite bad for a Marvel movie), but more in the vein that I loved Monstervision, USA Up All Night, and stuff like that. Just complete and utter cheese, with Australians playing Lousianians. ;D |

Thing is, some people have the nerve to say that DAREDEVIL is the worst Marvel movie ever.....I say those folks haven't ever sat through MAN-THING.

As for Comic films i agree with whoever said DC hasn't tapped into the potential yet. They have a great line up that hasn't been used. I used to watch Swamp Thing and The Return of Swamp Thing to death when I was a kid. I both miss those movies and am afraid to watch them out of fear of shattered nostalgia. |
