Marvel vs DC Comics

Ever since the movie "The Avengers" premiered to record breaking numbers there has been alot of talk wheter or not DC Comics would "counter" with a Justice League movie. As it looks now, it is not sure when that movie would come, but I think it has a few disadvantages.

Marvel has had a really good plan starting when Iron Man was released and they slowly but surely built on until it all culminated in the release of The Avengers last year. By introducing characters as for example: Black Widow and Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 and later on releasing Thor which also featured a tiny cameo by Hawkeye. And then Nick Fury makes an apperance in the end of Captain America: The First Avenger. And also keeping Agent Caulson featured in almost all of those movies. 

All of that I think has been an excellent strategic move where many Marvel fans could surely realize what the ultimate outcome would eventually be. And now with the tvshow Agents of Shield they have continued to build and the show works within the already established Marvel Universe, not as a standalone show.

DC comics hasn't really done that, they have instead focused alot on both Superman and Batman, where the only real success in the 2000s and 2010s has been with the Nolan helmed Batman trilogy. 

The advantage that DC has it that is has a greater variety of characters that can and will most likely appeal to a wider audience, they have also in the movies(especially in the Nolan trilogy) had more of a realistic and more of a grounded approach, instead of going the fantastic route.

Well, all in all we will see what the future holds.
