Marvel basically has to banners to run under, X Men and The Avengers. They have been pretty smart about keeping the casting together and using the main movies to feed into the sub movies. I am not saying DC has to pull off a grand scheme The Avengers family of films to be good.

I agree, but if they keep making movies and TV shows without some kind of overall direction, they'll have trouble holding their audience. Marvel has people anticipating what's next and folks are leaving the theater already impatient for the next film because it's been set up so well. DC has people wondering what's next, and whether or not it'll be any good.

Absolutely! Everybody wants to see Batman and Superman (at a minimum) in great movies. Look how well The Dark Knight Trilogy did. This isn't about the characters - it's about the actors and the stories.

Quote:DC could play the opposite with the harder edge and darker tone....but they have to get the movie right.

Bingo
