Yea, but largely in years past, and they aren't very good at leveraging those onto the screen (with some exception to the animated films).

You can't exactly do a "JLA Morrison Run" movie or TV show, after all.

A Green Lantern/Green Arrow would be cool, but dated. Ditto a lot of other classic runs.

Ones like Animal Man or Doom Patrol suffer from being such minor properties they likely aren't going to do well until you've really built up the brand already.

Rumor has it, they are casting WW to make a cameo in the Superman/Batman movie. From bleedingcool. Just because you fail now, doesn't mean you will fail down the road. If that were true, Marvel movies would still be crap. Like they have been before.

Yes I've read that. It's speculation based on what they're looking for for in an actress for one of the roles.

I hope it's true though. Superman slugging it out with Wonder Woman would be a lot of fun, whilst there's really no good way to have Batman and Supes slugging it out. Plus it's important to establish the trinity ASAP.

That wonder woman pilot sucked ass.

The Aquaman one, though, wasn't actually bad I thought.

There was an Aquaman one? :/

Yeah. Mercy Reef it was called, iirc. The guy who played GA in Smallville played him. Ving Rhames and Louis Diamond Philips were in it.

That'd be a good move. I do hope they don't skip the WW movie and try and go strait to JLA, though.

In terms of quality, marvel edges DC.
Marvel characters have more substance and are more relatable then the perfect DC characters. Also marvel cinema is better than DC Warner Bros cinema, not including the dark knight trilogy.

How are DC characters perfect?

DC characters are perfect in that they are seemingly invincible. Also their characters have the dumbest weaknesses.their writers tend to pack a whole lotta powers into a single characters and then give him/her the lamest weakness, like an alien rock(ie kryptonite)

You're wrong pretty much completely, bar the stupid weakness part, but Marvel has that too, so you're still wrong.

Nothing wrong with disliking characters, but entire companies for outdated ideas? Come on.

But they're not perfect like you were saying and not really "invincible".

I agree 100% with everything that was said.

I also just read this article from someone who is probably better equipped to comment on the subject:

But they aren't perfect. Hasn't been for a long time, if you read the stories. Plus, some of those so called weaknesses are no longer valid. Just want someone explaining their opinions a little better.
