8 Confessions Of A Marvel Fan After Reading DC Comics

7. The Characters Aren't One-Dimensional

As I delved deeper into the DC universe, I was surprised at just how much love and attention has been poured into these characters over the years. It seems stupid to say that now, but I initially felt DC’s characters were all very one dimensional. Marvel were the creators and innovators, while DC seemed to want to stay the same.

Well, you only need to take one luck at a recent Harley Quinn book before you realise how wrong that take was.

In the past few years, Harley has gone from being “The Joker’s Girlfriend” to a solo force to be reckoned with. These days, she’s getting up to more shenanigans than Deadpool, with a foul mouth that would give the merc' a run for his money.

Then there are characters like Kid Flash and Dick Grayson. Wallace West has stuck around with the Teen Titans despite the return of the original Wally West and holds his own now he’s grown out of his father’s shadow. Meanwhile, Grayson’s transformation from Robin to Nightwing stands as a brilliant example of maturity.
