why are there less superhero movies from dc comics than marvel?
Haven’t everyone noticed that most of superhero movies are from marvel?Superhero movies like spiderman,daredevil,hulk,fantastic four,and the most recent ghost rider are all from marvel.While the most notable superheroes from dc comics are only superman and batman.What’s wrong with dc comics superheroes?
Give it time. DC is just starting their current run at the movies. Remember, Marvel got the current superhero movie craze started with their X Men and Spidey franchises going. Before that, you could say that DC had more movies, and more successful movies with the previous Superman and Batman series.
Marvel’s push I think is going to run out of steam soon… they have a couple of solid properties that have good potential (FF, Iron Man, etc) but they’ve really done all their stuff that has mainstream recognition. In order to have another hit on their hands, the movie is gonna have to have major cross over appeal, and that comes from a quality script and having actors and directors that care about their project. Spidey and X Men have done very well, but see what has come since- Daredevil, Electra, Hulk, Punisher… none have really been great. I loved FF personally, but for me that’s been the only Marvel project since that I thought was a good product.
Now take DC… you have the start of two new franchises- Supes and Bats. That’s an easy 4 more movies right there if they shoot for the trilogy route. Wonder Woman is due next (still in script phase, and with Joss writing and directing, I’m looking more forward to WW than I did Supes and Bats) and I believe Flash is next in the development pipeline.
DC is just getting started… they have a lot more quality heroes they can use, and even anti-heroes (Sandman, Death, take your Vertigo picks). I don’t know if they can pull it off due to scheduling the actors, salaries, etc… but I’d love to see a JLA movie. You’ll have an active Supes, Bats, and WW, potentially Flash later on… it wouldn’t take much more to field a team. They are already alluding to try a JLA tv spinoff if bringing in more JLAers to Smallville is received well (although their attempt at an Aquaman series didn’t bite).
Again, DC has a lot more to work with, and are just getting back into the biz. They’ll have stronger properties coming out while Marvel is on the downside with Spidey and X Men wrapping up. Just give it time

Superheroes!: Capes and Crusaders in Comics and Films $10.11 DIVDIVPModern myths, cheap trash or the objects of fetishist desire?/PPMost people know something about Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and Wonder Woman, even if what they know is heavily filtered through film and television versions, rather than the comics in which they first appeared. Yet, even though the continuity of the DC and Marvel Comics universes rival or surpass in size almost anything else in Western culture, surprisingly little attention has been paid to comics, which we are supposed to grow out of./PPInISuperheroes!/I, acclaimed cultural commentator Roz Kaveney argues that this is a mistake, that, at their best, superhero comics are a form in which some writers and artists are doing fascinating work, not in spite of their chosen form, but because of it./PPISuperheroes!/Idiscusses the slow accretion of comic universes from the thirties to the present day, the ongoing debate within the conventions of the superhero comic about whether superheroes are a good thing and the discussion within the comics fan community of the extent to which superhero comics are disfigured by misogyny and sexism. Roz Kaveney attempts to explain the differences between Marvel and DC, the notion of the floating present (or why Spider-Man, fifteen when he adopted the costume, is still only in his early thirties), and the various attempts by both companies to re-invent and re-boot individual characters and their entire continuity universes. She also looks at the influence of comics on the group of film and television screenwriters she calls the fanboy creators, all of whom moonlight as comics script writers, using Joss Whedon as her case study, and examines the adaptation of well-known comics into large-budget feature films, not always to the advantage of the material./P/DIV/DIVDIVP* Acknowledgements * The Freedom of Power–Some first thoughts on Superhero comics * The heroism of Jessica Jones–Brian Bendis’ Alias as thick text * W@$8Që…¸ÿ¾Úð |

Black Superheroes, Milestone Comics $18.36 A history of the trailblazing comics that broke color barriers and portrayed African Americans in heroic storylinesA history of the trailblazing comics that broke color barriers and portrayed African Americans in heroic storylinespWhat do the comic book figures Static, Hardware, and Icon all have in common?pBlack Superheroes, Milestone Comics, and Their Fans gives an answer that goes far beyond tights and capes, an answer that lies within the mission Milestone Media, Inc., assumed in comic book culture. Milestone was the brainchild of four young black creators who wanted to part from the mainstream and do their stories their own way. This history of Milestone, a creator-owned publishing company, tells how success came to these mavericks in the 1990s and how comics culture was expanded and enriched as fans were captivated by this new genre.pMilestone focused on the African American heroes in a town called Dakota. Quite soon these black action comics took a firm position in the controversies of race, gender, and corporate identity in contemporary America. Characters battled supervillains and sometimes even clashed with more widely known superheroes. Front covers of Milestone comics often bore confrontational slogans like Hardware: A Cog in the Corporate Machine is About to Strip Some Gears.pMilestone’s creators aimed for exceptional stories that addressed racial issues without alienating readers. Some competitors, however, accused their comics of not being black enough or of merely marketing Superman in black face. Some felt that the stories were too black, but a large cluster of readers applauded these new superheroes for fostering African American pride and identity. Milestone came to represent an alternative model of black heroism and, for a host of admirers, the ideal of masculinity.pBlack Superheroes gives details about the founding of Milestone and reports on the secure niche its work and its image achieved in the marketplace.
