Use this thread to talk anything DC or Marvel related.
I'll kick off by introducing a general comparison between the two:
For starters DC heroes are usually portrayed as god-like beings, a top example is Dr. Manhattan, who chose to become an actual God. Also Superman is the strongest, Flash is the fastest, Batman the richest and so on. Marvel characters are usually quite less boundless powers wise, and that makes them more suited to realistic settings. The latter ones also feature more limitations and power flaws, which act as a balancer.
Speaking of settings, imaginary towns and places happen to be predominant in DC, just think about locations such as Gotham, Metropolis or Central City. Marvel locations are mainly set as our RL locations.
DC heroes are well-renowned for being top notch examples of good conduct and human qualities, Marvel ones strike as more mundane, like Fantastic Four or Tony Stark.
My last point affects the way DC and Marvel heroes and villains are portrayed as well.
The line of distinction between good and evil is quite well-marked and limpid in the DC series, not quite in the Marvel ones, where the line is more leaning towards the grey spectrum, just thinking about heroes like Ghost Rider, Venom, Wolverine, The Punisher, Nick Fury and so on.
