A DC comic film "Sea King" released at the end of 2018 has attracted many people's attention. However, in real life, many people often don't understand DC and marvel, and some even ask why the Avengers Lee doesn't have Batman and Superman? This question fully proves that the person asking this question can't tell what DC is and what marvel is. So what is DC and marvel, and what is the difference between them? The editor of this article will tell you the difference and relationship between DC and marvel.
DC
DC Comics was founded in 1934. In 1938, DC Comics created the world's first superhero - Superman, which has rewritten the history of World Comics. In 1939, DC created a superhero without superpower - Batman. Since then, Superman and Batman have become the two signature characters of DC Comics.
The company was officially named DC in 1967 and has been used since. DC was acquired by Time Warner in 1969. Since its establishment, DC has created many alliances composed of superheroes and superheroes, such as Superman, Batman, steel bone, green lantern, lightning, justice alliance, suicide team, etc!
In terms of films, we are most familiar with the Superman series and Batman Series. After seeing the success of Marvel's film universe, DC also opened the DC expansion universe in 2014 and will launch 10 DC comic films in the five years from 2016 to 2020. At present, Superman: the body of steel, Batman vs. Superman, suicide team Justice League.
Marvel
Marvel was founded in 1939 and officially named marvel in 1961. Marvel's first superhero was the mutant namo, followed by the biochemical thunderbolt fire. However, these two superheroes are not the two most famous characters of marvel, let alone the signboard characters. The signboard character of Marvel comics is spider man, which has been deeply loved by everyone for a period of time!
Marvel Comics create a wide variety of superheroes, including mutants, cosmic people, cosmic gods, wizards, biochemical people, etc., such as wolverine, Captain America, spider man, hawk, iron man, Thor, warlock Adam, etc. Marvel's superhero alliance is most familiar to everyone than the Avengers alliance and X-Men!
Marvel Comics opened Marvel film universe in 2008. Up to now, marvel film universe has entered the closing stage of the third stage, bringing us 19 films. Marvel has also accumulated a large number of fans in the world with these 19 films, and marvel has become the first IP in the world!
1. Both DC and Marvel comic companies were established in the 1930s. They are the best of the American comic industry. After decades of development, both of them have a prominent lineup of thousands of superheroes.
Some main superheroes are selected, as shown in the figure below. Red belongs to marvel and blue belongs to DC. The two companies have been fighting openly and secretly for many years and have no intention of cooperation. So generally, they only fight or unite in their own homes.
So "Superman vs Batman" is not a sequel to the Avengers.
At present, spider man has no plan to fight Batman! Captain America doesn't usually beat Superman with a shield!

2. When the development of film technology can bring the superhero dream in comics to the screen, the era of comic hero blockbusters has gradually come.
The two heroes of DC Comics, Superman and Batman, took the lead. The "Superman" trilogy ruled the 1970s and 1980s. The true Batman trilogy was unmatched in the 1990s.
There are many works of Batman, including the trilogy of Batman: the dark knight and Batman vs Superman released last year.
The biggest reason why DC gained the upper hand at the beginning was that as early as 1969, DC Comics was acquired by Time Warner Group, bringing the already hot superheroes to the screen. At this time, Marvel's Heroes still stay in comic magazines.

3. In 1997, Batman's fourth film had a bad reputation, while Hollywood's special effects technology had developed rapidly. Taking this opportunity, 20th Century Fox bought the copyright of Marvel's X-Men, carefully tested the water, and the result was a great success. Later, the role of Wolverine of X-Men was particularly popular, so they made the Wolverine series.
4. Then Sony also bought the copyright of spider man, spent a huge amount of money and launched an ambitious trilogy plan. Later, he shot the trilogy of extraordinary spider man, which is not a sequel to the previous three, but an independent story. Spider man officially opened the hero era of Hollywood comics. Since then, many film companies have acquired the copyright of some heroes of marvel and adapted them to the screen. There are a variety of film companies that produce Marvel heroes and many works, while Warner is the only film company that produces DC heroes. The reason is that Marvel can sell copyright independently, and DC has long been acquired by Warner. However, in addition to making copyright transfer fees, Marvel's box office revenue is taken away by the film company. So Marvel set up Marvel pictures, and the first film was iron man, which was a great success later.
5. After the success of iron man, marvel began to outline the avenger system.
In Iron Man 2, the s.h.i.e.l.e.l.d. officially appears, and the Thor hammer appears at the end of the film.
The Hulk is also embedded with iron man.
'eagle eye' Jay made a guest appearance in Thor.
At the end of Captain America, six main players, iron man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, black widow and eagle eye, are all present.
