i am so a DC girl. but you know what? DC has disappointed me. i went to their website and you know what i found? a very well planed, well organized, white page. you'd think with so many amazing artists out there they could manage to come up with something interesting for the website. animations, cover shots of the newest comics (ok they might have those) bios for all the heroes. there are quite a few you know and many are not well known.
so then i think well maybe they don't need a fancy website they are very well known maybe they are using other forms of advertising. so what do i do? i look to their biggest competitor Marvel. you know what Marvel has? a site full of color with heroes lining the walls, slide-shows and movie-clips.
and now that i think about it Marvel has pulled way ahead in the movie scene as well.
first there was X-men then Blade II, Spiderman, daredevil, X2, hulk, the punisher, spiderman 2, blade: trinity, elektra, Man-thing, fantastic four, X-men: the last stand, ghost rider, spider-man 3, Fantastic Four: rise of the silver surfer, Iron Man, the incredible hulk, Punisher: War Zone, X-men origins: wolverine and Iron man 2
count them: 21 movies just since 2000.
DC movies: the league of extraordinary Gentlemen, Catwoman, Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, Superman Returns, the Dark Knight, the Spirit, Watchmen, and Jonah Hex to come out later this year.
the number: 9
plus Kick-ass to come out later this year again by Marvel so the number is really 22 to 9.
i mean come on DC you're letting Marvel kick your ass.
on the good side the overarching plot for the Marvel comics got terrible reviews (honestlly who turns Captain America into someone who hates America?!) so DC is still ahead on that front at least, well, sort of. ( no one kills off batman and the only saving grace there was that they are bringing him back (along with the rest of the heroes who got killed off needlessly ) )
anyway, i had a point here. in the website battle DC was crushed.
