Thor vs Superman

@rjpeters70:

But it also gets to different philosophies, I think.  Marvel is about angsty, “real world” issues, and DC has always been (well, at least until 2012) about the legacy of heros from the Great Depression to today, and about Earth bound gods like Superman, Flash, Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, etc.

DC and Marvel are just different, depending on what you enjoy.

Expanding on my ‘blame the Avengers movie.’ The Marvel verse is more ready made for the movies. The stuff that is more interesting on film is already a part of the Marvel characters and they are already more integrated with each other as part of their history.

Speculatively, the success of the Marvel films is putting a lot of pressure on DC editorial from the really high level management to get the DC verse to a place so they can make a Justice League movie/DC movie verse that will rake in Avengers money. But the whole thing isn’t very organic in that regard and everything is just flailing about wildly trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
