I'd think Marvel easily took games, until recently. DC has upped their game. No pun.

I'd say DC has overtaken Marvel in terms of games, as Marvel hasn't had many good games lately. Marvel Heroes is good, but it's no Arkham City.

What about tv/cartoons in general?

Lately? Marvel. In totality, DC.
DC's animation studios blow Marvel's stuff out of the water more often than not. The only real contender I've seen was EMH, and that got canned way before its time.

I thought EMH got renewed? Counting all their short movies (All-Star, Under the Red Hood, etc...), not to mention Young Justice and GL, DC has Marvel beat in animation, plus all their animation shorts on Cartoon Network.

I have no favorite, but I am constantly glad to see the rivalry remain friendly between the two.
They have a great history together.

If we're counting the animated movies, then yeah, DC wins.
I was speaking just about television.

Right. I said barely because of the batman games, and I must admit I really enjoyed green lantern rise of the manhunters and dcuo as well. But the xmen legends and ultimate alliance games were a wet dream to me. It's extremely close for me.
DCs animation is leagues better. EMH and Ultimate Spider-Man are great, and 90s xmen will always have a special place in my heart, but between DCs animated movies, GL TAS, young justice, justice league, batman TAS, etc. there's just really no contest.

Movies: DC. Not sure how to do this actually, Marvel's only had 1 good movie the last 10 years and that was X-Men First class. It's my favourite of the bunch, but the dark knight trilogy is still 3 movies, which would make it 3 - 1 in favor of DC
Games: DC
Animation: lmfao, DC easy.

I'm not sure why I set the 10 year limit actually
First two spider-man and x-men movies were good, first class was good and I have a soft spot for the Punisher and the Bana Hulk was great.
On the other hand I have Watchmen, the first two Superman movies and the Dark Knight movies and not to mention the first two Batman movies!
Which puts DC ahead by

To bad CN canned both Young Justice and Green Lantern for no reasoning.
