for me its a combination of stories & characters.. cant stand Superman UNLESS he facin certain villains, i cant read Batman when he IS facin certain villains, just cant stand Aquaman, Flash to confusin... dont read Green Lantern but regularly read Red Lanterns, Larfleeze & im checkin out Sinestro lol... i got a whole vol. of Azrael... its like their heroes cant usually keep my interest... its the villain interaction that make or break for me... im real specific wit DC..

to me Marvel seems more down to earth wit real life regular struggles & i can get into a lot of sories that arent epic battles... my catalogue consists mostly of marvel, close to half, DC not even 10%, the vest consists of a wide variety of other studios...

i dont read iron man solo books much but when hes featured i always enjoyed corrupt, douche bag Tony & the fukkery that follows more...

Characterization breh. The stigma comes from having characters who seem inherently perfect with very few flaws. I'm not saying I agree but that's the general consensus: You go to Marvel if you want to read about real people and DC if you want to read about gods

exactly this is why the dc characters are so overpowered compared to marvel characters and why people suggest that batman really could beat everyone on the marvel roster. batman is a god.

Turning this issue into a "white people this / black people that" narrative is fukking ridiculous....and youre making it up. That entire reply was total bullshyt and i grow weary of motherfukkers saying "oh thats some whiteboy shyt" to stuff they just dont like. Its childish as fukk, and awful.

Marvel heads are the same way with Black Panther though.
Him and Batman are the "prep time" kings in any debate of hero vs hero.

I just see DC characters as people that refuse to settle with being "OK"" and "Good" and strive to be better people and better heroes. If you look into the origins of Batman, Green Arrow, Supes, etc., they were flawed people that made lots of mistakes in their early years of crime fighting. I means LOTS. The thing is, they refuse to settle or to quit and got better and better at it. Some became so good, that many people can't intellectually relate to that because a lot of readers themselves are content with bullshyt and character flaws that never seem to change.

man, Panther got way more money & resouces than Batman, plus hes more skilled & a better tactician... he has a WAY better excuse for prep time.... hes at war wit atlantis... but i forgot batman got water vaporizers on deck though... wit anti fish pellets in his belt before the attack hit...keep Batman where he belongs, compared to Tony Stark...

neither can truly see Panther if it got real, hes superior to both.. you send Panther to gotham & its a wrap.... 90% of Batmans rogue gallery gettin done in.. let Riddler try that fukkboy shyt wit Panther, lol.. plus Panther dont ride wit little boys, he got Talon type gons & a nation on deck comin...

dont ever compare Batman to Panther, forget all the Batman hype, T'Challa got bigger things to worr about than either of these peasants..

And I'd argue that Marvel characters are the same. Peter didn't let tragedy define him, he continued to grow, went to college, attempted to get his PhD and through some Doc Ock fukkery finally got it. He owns his own company, he got married, he pushed to make a better life for himself and his family. Wolverine got over himself and wised up to the point where he opened a school for mutants and became a headmaster, despite all of his personal BS, he managed to do something really selfless in the name of professor X and Jean Grey in order to help kids who may be in the same situation he was in. Tony has conquered his alcoholic demons and while he's still not perfect, he's no longer a fiend. Reed found a way to balance his work and his personal life, something he couldn't have done before and Banner has embraced the good that comes with being Hulk and learned to control his anger rather than be a slave to it. Daredevil even has gotten over his demons and his past in order to try to be a better man and make the world a brighter place. All of them push and push and push but they never lose sight of what makes them human

Yeah, you right, but that is what Marvel saw out of DC and they knew that after decades of problems, they had to solve it. DC, despite it corniness of the past, were on that way since the 80s. Marvel only had a handful of characters like Cap, Thor, and Cyclops that had DC like qualities before everyone else had that.

thats my problem they settle & Batmans origins stupid as fukk to me along with his "code" he settles for OK when he keeps lettin Joker get arrested break out kill again, same shyt spidey does he aint strivin for nothin but Spiderman crossed the line a couple times & been makin dramatic changes as a person while Batman just get somethin else to depressed about... Superman been lame, thats why i only read certain stories, they gotta come up "tragic" bullshyt to make him interestin cause ts too late to admit they fukked & retcon, last time was a disaster...

you want tragic stories you read shyt like Magneto, the icon of the genre...

goin to work finish this though later if i remember..

I read the Bat-Family books, the Superman books, GL, Justice League, Constantine, Teen Titans, Suicide Squad

I'll admit though with the exception of the Bat books, I enjoy my Marvel titles a lot more.
