DC has 10,000 characters. (Compared to Marvel’s 7,000-8,000)
DC Comics has more and better games than Marvel. (Arkham Knight, DC Universe Online, Injustice, Lego Batman, Arkham City)

Marvel movies had been way more successful and sold more than any DC movie
Characters in the MCU have their own TV shows that are better than anything DC has put out
Spiderman would beat Batman, period.
Everyone also says Superman beats everyone but one of his weaknesses is magic and Marvel has plenty of Magic users like Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange
Marvel Was chosen and bought by Disney—–clearly they know which is better.
66% of Marvel films are certified fresh compared to 54% of DC films.
DC content is depressing, who needs that?
Marvel Characters stories blend in well with each other for example Spider-Man No Way Home, Avengers, Captain Marvel, etc
DC stories often seem forced and unrealistic, and The New 52 is a perfect example of that
Marvel’s characters have more depth to them especially more than Superman who has no stakes in his stories because he’s overpowering and always made to win instead of learning from a loss and coming back stronger
