DC is already pretty much dominating the television medium and expanding further this fall, but 2016 Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad is going to snatch the throne from Marvel. Mark my words on that. The number ONE reason is there's a start of a Marvel backlash starting to brew, maybe due to over-saturation or casual and die-hards alike are beginning to see the redundancy of their films. Last year appears to be MCU's plateau that they peaked. Now with the grumblings so far over Age of Ultron by both negative AND positive reviews by those whom so far seen it from early screenings or international views and the overwhelming disinterest over the upcoming Ant-Man film, plus the growing hype between both DoJ and Suicide Squad, DC can very realistically going to take over as the dominant comic book film franchise. The ONLY thing that stands in its way as of right now is Civil War, but my fear with that, despite the Russo brothers may have directed the best Marvel movie, is if Dawn of Justice lives up the hype that it would swallow up a so-called "Ironman v. Captain America" film, especially when we basically already SEEN all of them fight each other.

The best way I can compare this metaphorically is Marvel's No Limit and DC is Cash Money (Hot Boyz era). Marvel is like No Limit that came through and crushed buildings and keep having new release after new release after release after release back to back to back to back with each "event" album being the Master P LP. Whereas Cash Money is something that been around longer but never bubbled until AFTER No Limit's dominating success, then came through and took over the second No Limit started to become played out.

I doubt there will be any takeover. Dawn of Justice might not even beat Civil War next year and remember Guardians of the Galaxy made more than Man of Steel who is DC's second biggest character.

Agents of Shield may be mediocre but aren't more people watching that than Arrow and the Flash?

MoS didn't come out the same year as Guardians of the Galaxy. By that logic, MoS made more than the 1st Captain America. And again, as I already stated, it's looking that Marvel PEAKED last year. If the trending consensus with Age of Ultron is what it appears which is that it's disappointing to a degree and being that the hype for Ant-Man is undewhelming... The possibility of the SHIFT come next year is very likely. Batman v. Superman ALONE is one of the biggest hype up films SINCE the 1st Avengers due to the mere fact it'll be two of the most iconic superheros clashing together 1st time on screen. Then Suicide Squad is buzzing to be that NEXT Guardians of the Galaxy with one of the most iconic comic book villains coming forth. Another film with Iron Man and Captain America is dope, and will make money, but the vibe coming at Marvel is that of over-saturation. UNLESS Civil War is MIND-BLOWING and it very well could be... I cannot see anything stopping this forth coming probability I see. Especially with the next film following that being the Justice League.

Also, I was saying the cinematic Universe. AoS is just one television show and truthfully the best is Daredevil which came and went, hopefully the other Netflix ones come quick. But The ratings for The Flash equals that to AoS and that show is on a smaller televised medium and not a major like AoS... and GOTHAM is the highest viewed comic book show over all. Plus, they're expanding more whereas ABC is merely replacing one show with another.

There's a lot of hicks in small towns that don't get CW but even so ratings aren't the sole barometer anymore of television shows. Technically, a show like Hawaii Five-O is seen by more people than Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones but we all know that's not the case.. you have to factor in on-demand viewing, Netflix, DVD sales, even piracy.
