Marvel is my pick. I love their characters more than DC.

I know Marvel is really popular right now, but in general I prefer DC. I like the characters' back stories and I appreciate that the stories don't intertwine or get convoluted to the point where I can't follow anymore. With the Marvel movies coming out I've given up on watching them all because I always feel like I'm missing some piece of information because I didn't watch some other character's movie.

I do love The Hulk though.

I love both and hate having to choose, but Catwoman is my all time favorite comicbook character and thus DC wins.

Marvel, DC while it is awesome doesn't have the sense of humor Marvel puts into all of its movies.

I grew up watching Smallville since my mom loved watching it. I also watch Young Justice a lot when I was in elementary school. As I got older, it became easier for me to connect to Marvel characters since I also grew up with the MCU. I just know more about Marvel's characters and have read plenty of the comics.

Honestly, this question is always hard to answer because I grew up with both DC and Marvel since I was a child, so I gotta go with both honestly although Marvel right now is doing such great work and DC is somewhat trying to catch up, but kinda not really.

Has to be marvel for me. I bought a few of Marvel comics for my son to get him into them but he prefers the movies. I like all the x-men movies but I think Logan was probably the best of the lot.

For me DC characters are kinda boring compared to the variety of characters in the Marvel universe. Therefore, Marvel all the way for me!

I prefer DC to marvel....the storylines that DC has is way more sophisticated than marvel...the endings?!it's either heartbreaking or jawdropping but it never let's us down...the villains that DC come up with is just Genius..the hereos to...they're never bias about anything..

Haven't read the comics and yeah I'm kind of ashamed of it but as a viewer of movies, I can say Marvel. There's just something about MCU that DC does not have.

I think that the best superhero movies were Nolan's Batman trilogy, hands down.

However, if we are talking about cinematic universes, Marvel kicks DC's butt into next week.

I’m team Marvel one hundred percent! I have not read any of the Marvel or DC comics, so I don’t have a say on that. However, I have seen many Marvel and DC movies. I think that most DC movies are decent, but Marvel does something that makes you fall in love with the characters which in turn lets you enjoy the story even more. In addition, I also think that the story lines of Marvel movies are better.

while the marvel movies were good and so are the characters. I'm still into DC I don't know why probably its because of batman and the teen titans.

I watched both Marvel and DC movie but I pick DC over Marvel because I grew up watching their cartoons since I was a kid. Young justice and teen titans are my childhood ones. Apart of that, DC have the greatest and awesome villains compared to Marvel's. Marvel might have good superheroes but DC have the most outstanding villains such as Joker, Bane, Penguin, Riddler, Cheetah and such. Joker is one of my favourite although I know he is overrated.
