Many people have a preference of either DC over Marvel or vice-versa, and so usually, these people are going to prefer one company over the other based solely on that preference. It really depends on what players are looking for in games, in terms of which properties are doing the better job. These games treat the characters with care, and even if the games don't necessarily do anything revolutionary, they are largely solid with few exceptions. So Marvel again is more popular.As mentioned before, both of these companies are producing very high-quality games there are plenty that haven't been mentioned here either, such as Marvel's Ultimate Alliance 3, a couple of Telltale properties like Batman: The Telltale Series and Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series, as well as a whole slew of Lego games. In this case, more films came with more business for each. Marvel had more turns at the plate, but under normal circumstances a larger output leads to a depressed return. For DC, 48 percent of their films reached that level.

At Marvel, 58 percent of their releases have an adjusted domestic total over $200 million.

However, what makes that edge more impressive is it comes with far more films. Per-Film AverageĬomic-book movies are massive by any measure: Going back to the start, the per-release average for Marvel and DC films is over $200 million, with Marvel having a very slight edge - $247 million to $224 million. In terms of desirability for exhibitors, which is ultimately a best gauge, call them close to equal. By that measure, Warners can claim the top gross among any studio for comic-book releases. enterprise, except for two “Red” films and a TriStar “Supergirl” in the mid-’80s. With more characters to work with, multiple studios allowed the creation of multiple franchises.ĭC has almost entirely been a Warner Bros. Nearly every top distributor has handled a Marvel title - Disney’s now the prime player, but it’s also been Sony (“Spider-Man”), Paramount (initial “Thor” and “Iron Man” titles), 20th Century Fox (“X-Men”), and even Universal (“The Hulk”).
