Marvel. The question would be silly if it weren't for Batman, which is better than anything Marvel has - but only the best Batman stories, of course. DC doesn't have any other good standard heroes.

Marvel all the way. Sure, DC has batman, but Marvel has X-men AND The Avengers.

Better overall? Jeeze that's a lotta stuff to weigh in on both sides

Marvel.

Batman and the villains he's fought are the only good part of mainstream DC comics. Some of the other books they publish like Gaiman's Sandman are far better than their main line

Marvel's characters and the stories about them are a lot more relevant, probably because they were created more recently and deal with issues we see in real life. Plus, Marvel's videogames were always pretty superior (see: all of the Raven-developed multiplayer RPGs and Ultimate Alliance, the Punisher, early Spiderman games)

You can trust the guy with the Doom avatar, he's totally not biased

Marvel, totally :) I hate Batman, so he's not a plus for the DC for me ;)

Mmm, I'm more a Marvel man myself, though many of my favorites come from DC Vertigo.

Marvel... especially when you look at the garbage that is the New 52.
I love the Image stuff back in the day, but then Jim Lee left to make Wildstorm, which was then bought out by DC and went downhill.

easy, Dark Horse.

DC...Marvel Sucks

Although Superman, Batman, and classic (pre-New 52) Green Lantern are cool on DC's side, I think Marvel has far more awesome comics and characters.

Why don't we have both?

I can't really say for the comics but it's my experience that cartoon series based off of DC are generally better than the ones based off of Marvel.

Then again, it's hard for anything to compete with BTAS.

MARVEL, but then I played LEGO Batman 2: DC SuperHeroes, it kinda got me into DC, but I still prefer MARVEL and I have a bagillion MARVEL comics

All these people that only watch the movies and/or cartoons make me sad.

Anyone who isn't a complete idiot or a fanboy moron will tell you that both have some cool stuff and some absolutely lame shit. If I had to choose though, I'd got for DC. If for nothing else than their Vertigo imprint, which has produced some excellent material among which my favorite series of all time, Hellblazer.

I'm not happy about it being drawn into the New 52 though. On the other hand, most of the main Marvel titles have been complete shit, with Avengers vs. X-Men being the worst-written piece of garbage since... well, Marvel's last crossover event. Of course, crossover events tend to suck balls on both sides of the fence so whatever.

cant I like both?

Dc

DC owns the Wildstorm and Vertigo imprints which pretty much make DC better in my opinion.

Obviously Marvel's great too, though.

Right now, I would say neither. They're pretty even, for every great DC book like Swamp Thing, there's great Marvel book like Journey into Mystery, but on the other hand, for every shitty DC book like Teen Titans, there's shitty Marvel book like Deadpool. I'm curious about Marvel NOW! (hey, you can't go wrong with Hickman and Remender on Avengers, Bendis can go rape the X-Men for all I care), but right now, I don't prefer one or the other.

But normally, I prefer Marvel, though it's pretty close.

IMHO, Marvel is a little more adult oriented in general (the most important superhero of DC has his underwear on top of his pants), so I like Marvel a lot more than DC. I tried reading some DC stuff and... yeech. Batman is cool, though. Not the rest.

DC because batman.

Marvel.

Marvel, i like more his characters and stories and I like to read Cpt.America

So far it's DCUO vs. Marvel Super Hero Squad, and the latter is a little kids game, so no real contest. But Marvel Heroes is around the corner, and then we'll see.

That's my gaming take on it.

Marvel's take is in my opinion superior. The heroes are underpowered and plots more connected. DC's world is too optimal, the heroes are just too strong.
