Are D.C. Comics Movies and Television Shows Dominating Marvel Comics?

"2016. The Year of D.C. Comics."

Based on the sales figures of monthly comic books, that state is not going to be believable. Marvel Comics' sales have been much stronger than what the Distinguished Competition has served up.

The great website CinemaBlend has a great article up highlighting why D.C. Comics is going to edge out Marvel in the live-action realm.

In terms of television shows and motion pictures, D.C. Comics Entertainment is doing extremely well. The Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Gotham, and Supergirl are doing extremely well on the small screen. Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad should be mega-smashes on the big screen.

Of course, Marvel has Captain America: Civil War, Deadpool, and X-Men: Apocalypse slated for 2016 release. Season 2 of Dardevil is soon to arrive on Netflix.

CinemaBlend is reporting that "social and digital tracking" are showing Suicide Squad and Batman v. Superman are generating way more enthusiasm than the new Captain America and X-Men projects. Maybe a bit of Marvel fatigue has set in.
