I definitely agree with the Marvel comment, however it's disappointing when a DC flick doesn't turn out great because it takes them a long time to release them. Marvel, on the other hand, just throws shit at the wall and hopes something sticks...

To be fair DC has its hands tied as it is part of Time-Warner ie Warner Brothers. So basically it hasn't had the opportunity to farm out its properties to the highest bidder. It has to depend on WB to decide to make a film and get all its ducks in a row. Marvel has the opportunity to work with many different studios for its properties. Blade was produced by New Line, Spiderman by Columbia, FF by 20th Cententury Fox, Punisher by Lions Gate, and so on. I doubt that WB is going to release a slate of superhero movies all at once. It's going to look at the bottom line and only green light projects with lots of potential.

I think Marvel is better at making crappy movies than they are at making crappy comics.
