Its hard being a dc fan

Really hard but at least WB seems to actively be trying to make the DCEU content as warped, confused and ill-thought out as the comics.

The overall aesthetics of Batman in general aside, your best bet when attempting to enjoy DC is to make yourself a fan of the villains. It’s not exclusive and there are exceptions to the rule of course, but the general rule is, Marvel is better at making complex, relatable heroes and stereotypical villains, and DC is better at making complex villains you can at least empathize with, and boring, brainless heroes. People can compare the two versions of Justice League all they want, but it says something that in both versions it was far more entertaining watching Steppenwolf than it was any of the heroes, with one or two moments for Cyborg, to be fair.

i do not enjoy american propoganda, therefore i do not enjoy marvel heroes, with the exception of spider-man (though ironically i hate mcu spider-man for this exact reason)

batman, guy gardner, john stewart, the big blue boyscout, dick grayson, garfield logan, the entire doom patrol and many others are heroes i do not think of as boring

both versions were shit and steppenwolf is the most generic fucking cgi creature ever. also please don’t tell me you’ve only ever watched the movies from both companies

Wasn’t aware Thor, Hulk, Silver Surfer and the X-Men were American propaganda. Thought only Captain America was that… except for the all the times he took a decidedly “un-American” stance in a conflict. I figured the guy from DC who fights for Truth, Justice, and the American Way and whose original comics showed him beating up fanged Japanese soldiers would fit that bill more, even though the American Way has nothing to do with truth or justice. Someone might want to tell the Justice League of… America… :thinking:

I did say Batman aside, I did say there were exceptions (does anyone around here pay attention to my words?), and other than Beast Boy there being one such, yeah, the rest of those, and indeed most DC heroes are boring as hell. Good guys for the sake of being good guys, and that’s when they’re human, not gods or aliens with mystic powers that they’re just born with.

Not true, the Snyder Cut was decent, the original was just meh.

Not relevant to what I said. I said he was more interesting than anything the heroes said or did, a couple of Cyborg moments notwithstanding.

No, I’ve got comic experience as well, and it applies to both mediums, movies and comics: DC = Good villains, crap heroes (mostly); Marvel = Good heroes, crap villains (mostly). And I will say, I prefer most of what’s in the MCU to what’s in the comics, and for DC, I prefer most of what’s in the animated universe (and the Arkham games) to what’s in the comics.

Yeah, I remember when Captain America flat out refused to serve the government after he found out the president was leading an ultra-secret branch of the Klan. He even straight up stopped being Captain America and defaulted to being the next Nomad for a while.

Perhaps the Justice Society? That team of heroes that fought in WWII.

Well exceptions would imply there is a small number of them and that is against some sort of rule. DC has lots of good heroes they just don’t like utilising them to their fullest or using them at all. Also if you want us to pay attention to your words stop using so damn many of them, the number of words is to damn high!

Is it my fault people don’t read enough these days? :man_shrugging:

It is more to do with the fact that you use a lot of words to say what most people would say with a few. You don’t get people to read using lots of words, you get people to read by engaging in something substantial with them.
