DC : The first Superman is still the best superhero movie ever in my opinion. But all the Batman movies where painful, to say the least. And I refuse to mention Catwoman.Marvel : two great Spider-Man movies, two almost as great X-Men movies, one decent Punisher movie, one bad Hulk movie. O yeah, before I forget, a very average Daredevil movie. And the FF movie will probably suck too, I'm afraid.
Which Punisher movie are you talking about the first one the new remake? For me the first was better.

Well I think if they do it right they can make Alba look really great for the role. I just think she sucks as an actress.100 million budget (F4 Maximum) isn't bad at all. 50 million of Hulk's 150 was Hulk himself. So it only took 100 to make that. Budget isn't much considering the actors.

I do agree Alba is a terrible actress. It depends how many shots of the more expensive scenes they will shoot.

for how long.
Forever. Or unless DC heroes can be as interesting and down to earth like Marvel ones. In the comicverse, you have to agree that Marvel has most the best characters around. The interesting world and character of each Marvel heroes is why Marvel is superior to DC in the comic realm.
This transcends to movies as well. The only reason those early Marvel movies sucked was because of low budgetting and poor special effects, unlike today where CGI's and stunt performances are far better than in the early days.

The reason why Marvel movies were terrible back in the days was because Marvel was giving up rights to their characters left and right. Example The Punisher 1990, The Fantastic Four unreleased 1994, and the Captain America films. It wasn't until 1999 that Marvel realized what they had to do.

Jack Black has closed his deal. He will be playing Green Lantern in a film that has been described as a “zany comedy version a la THE MASK.” All rights to the DC comic have been worked out as well, so you can expect to start hearing more about this project in the months ahead. As I understand it, DC Comics tried desperately to dodge this bullet, but ultimately, they don’t have the right to veto something if Warner Bros. really wants to make it happen. This is the problem with the way DC’s deal with their corporate overlords is structured. Their hands are tied. As much as they are aware of the problem with this approach to the material, they just have to sit back and watch it happen along with fans of the character and the rich mythology that has been established over the long run of the various GREEN LANTERN titles.

Marvel films usually reach large amounts of people just look at the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises. Stan Lee is the ENTIRE reason why Marvel is where it is today.
