Your argument fails.

The Merc with the mouth had no mouth.
He had wolverine's retractible blades, nightcrawler's teleportation, optic blast...

The movies KILL Marvel. Yes, movies are now part of comic characters' integrity. And so far, Marvel has ONE good one: Iron Man.

Also Sinestro for the win... Chair shot for the WTF.[/quote

Batman Forever, Catwoman, Batman and Robin all sucked. Batman Begins and Dark Knight are top notch. Superman Returns wasn't awful, but made some questionable decisions. For your sake, I'll say it sucked. 6 good movies. 4 bad ones. That's 60% good.

You had one good one: Iron Man

And....

Fantastic 4, Hulk, Incredible Hulk, Fantastic 4 2, Daredevil (which I actually liked, but fuck you then came Electra), X-3, X-Men Origins, and Ghost Rider.

1 good, 9 bad. That's 10% good.

DC wins.

Edit... I considered giving you Punisher, but then I remembered the sequel and said, fuck it, cancel them both out.

I just figured I'd throw this little bit into this thread.

Also, I never made the argument that DC came first so it's better. My argument has and always will be that DC has more of my favorite characters.

My favorites:
DC: Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, Green Arrow, Joker, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow.

Marvel: Deadpool, Hawkeye, Captain America. That's it.

Thank you for throwing this in, saves me the trouble of doing it.

If DC and Marvel had any REAL say towards the scripts of movies all of the comic book movies would be like TDK and Iron Man, but they get written and edited by Hollywood movies studios (like FOX) that turn out crap like Catwoman or X-Men Origins (which wasn't a bad movie until the anally raped deadpool on screen as described previously). Even with that taken into account, your list of good and bad movies made by DC and Marvel was a little biased don't you think?

You mentioned X3 on the bad list but not the first or second movie and there was no mention of spider-man at all. So to help you out I have composed a more detailed list of movies based on comics.

DC:

Batman - Epic, +1
Batman Returns - Decent, +1
Batman Forever - I liked it, so I will give it to you, +1
Batman & Robin - Terrible, -1
Batman Begins - also Epic, +1
The Dark Knight - Beyond Excellent, +1
Catwoman - really, really Bad, -1
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Yup, DC, -1
Road to Perdition - Also DC, -1
Steel - Yet another example of great character killed by bad plot and worse actor, -1
Supergirl - Very retarded even by 1980's standards, -1
Superman - +1
Superman II - +1
Superman III - Fail, -1
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace - -1
Superman Returns - I thought it was boring as shit but you can have it, +1
V for Vendetta - Awesome flick, made by DC's indie line Vertigo, +1
Watchmen - I stand by what I said before, the comic was boring as shit but the movie (now that I have seen it) was awesome, +1

Final Score: 10 Good movies, 8 Bad movies - Not bad almost half and half

Blade - Nice and Dark, +1
Blade II - I thought the sequel sucked, -1
Blade: Trinity - In my opinion, the best of the three, +1
Daredevil - It had some flaws but I liked it, +1
Elektra - Didn't bother to see it, -1
Fantastic Four - Not bad and well received, + 1
Fantastic Four 2, Wasn't as bad as they say but I will give it to you, -1
Ghost Rider - Graphics = good, everything else = bad, -1
Hulk - Awful, -1
The Incredible Hulk - Good if you are a fan of the Hulk +1
Iron Man - Amazing, +1
The Punisher - Excellent, +1
Punisher: War Zone - Crap, -1
Spider-Man - Good, +1
Spider-Man 2 - Ok, +1
Spider-Man 3 - Terrible, -1
X-Men - Excellent, +1
X2 - Ok, +1
X-Men: The Last Stand - I liked it, +1
