10 Biggest Lies Comic Book Movie Fans Tell Themselves

7. Marvel Has A Better Character than Batman

While DC will never catch up to Marvel's MCU, they have an ace forever up their sleeve: Batman. Lie to yourself if you like, but Batman is THE greatest comic book character in history. Why? Because he is just a man. And his power is being just a man; one which has reached the pinnacle of... manliness. There's no greater idol to aspire to and unfortunately, Marvel has just never managed to create a character with this level of gravitas, try as they might.

So DC have always been comfortable being on the back-foot, even back in those days when comic book movies were a pipe-dream for comic book creators. Entire DC vs. Marvel arguments have been won by the DC fanboys slamming the Batman card down on the table and Marvel fanboys leaving the room, heads hung like a bearded Charlie Brown.

Argue against this point if you will, but you know it's wasted breath. Even when a Batman movie is bad, it's still a box office winner and this will be the case from now until the end of Bat-time. Which is never.
