It's the fifth film in the universe to score above a 90% score. The movie is seriously so f_ucking incredible.
2016 is now coming to an end. DC released Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad. Marvel released Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange.
Marvel won this year AGAIN and will win it AGAIN next year. Wonder Woman has potential but we all know Justice League will be a mess. But Marvel will have Guardians 2, Spiderman, and Thor 3. Good luck DC. Over and out.- La Troll

Yes, it is true that DC has more iconic characters and their comics are most likely superior to Marvel. Maybe DC TV shows are better than Marvel's. But Marvel has the better movies. Though I do enjoy them both.

I think you need to revise your statement to: "Marvel is nothing without Disney"
LOL Fox Marvel movies received quite praise and they were the first one, the comic book movie frenzy we have today is because Bryan Singer did X-Men, he was widely praised, others followed the trend including Sam Raimi, the sucess of Singer X2 and Raimi's Spidey trilogy made quite a trend, Disney jumped on the bandwagon, Disney didn't set any trend, Disney is Gaga not Madonna.

To be fair, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin destroyed the interest in comic book movies. No one thought they could be successful again until X-Men in 2000.

X3 killed the X-Men franchise
It polarized the GP, Batman and Robin was widely hated and the X-Men franchise survived, First Class praised, Days Of Future Past praised, Apocalypse praised.

Singer's first two X-Men films. No one is talking about X3. It's a very common opinion that it's directly responsible for influencing modern superhero cinema.
Christopher Nolan reportedly told Hugh Jackman that X-Men was an influence on his Batman.
There wasnt really a superhero genre before X-Men came out. Funny enough, I remember catching a plane while we were promoting The Prestige with Chris Nolan [who] said to me that hed always had the Batman in his mind. Even way back before 2000, he had the version of Batman that he ended up making in his head. He said, when I went into the cinema and saw X-Men, I said damn, thats my idea.
The idea that you could really dive in to the emotional life, to the vulnerability of these characters and that, as well as being fantastical, amazing and action, is whats going to hook people and make them care. Thats what Bryan did, he had a lot of courage to do that. -

X3 was horrible and I highly doubt that is the X-men film that influenced Nolan.
As for MCUthey have been wiping the floor with DC. No one ever really anticipated a stand alone WW film outperforming a film starring both Batman and Superman, and I don't see it happening nownot with Gadot as lead. A one-note performance doesn't influence re-watch value.
Cheers!

Schumacher's Batman movies destroyed the interest of the public on genre, X-men was a light in the dark, no one cares for the 90s Batman franchise, Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy already surpassed it even though Christian Bale was mi1ebcscast.

Marvel sticks to the same formula, and it works for them. Their films will always be more successful and highly praised, and they'll always be ahead of DC.
But let's be real, Spider-Man and the X-Men are the only interesting Marvel characters. Iron Man was nothing before Robert Downy Jr. Their films rely too much on humor and spectacle.
DC has far more interesting characters and storylines, though. There's countless stories in the comics that they could use for inspiration, but they're still stumbling trying to find what they want their film universe to be.
I'd still ratchter watch a 3-hour epic like BvS than sit through dull characters cracking jokes at each other during action set pieces for 2 hours like Civil War.
Marvel is what gets you into comics as a child, but DC is what you grow up to love.

I am a huge Marvel comic fan. But this Spiderman looks dreadful. Aunt May looks to be in her 30s. Thor does good not great. Guardians should do really well.
Still SS was never gonna be amazing. Wonder Woman looks to have much more potential, the character is beyond iconic. Justice League looks good too and has a lot of hype.
What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.
