CATDOLL: Warner CEO: DC is more powerful than Marvel

Last month, Samuel L. Jackson said in an interview with MTV that "Marvel is better than DC", which brought the topic of "which is better, Marvel or DC" to the forefront. Recently, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara responded to this debate, saying: "DC is more edgier than Marvel. (they're a little bit edgier than Marvel's movies)"

Kevin Tsujihara expressed his views on DC movies at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference on Wednesday: "The DC universe is completely different from the Marvel universe in style. DC movies will be rooted in realism and will be more edgy and non-conformist than Marvel movies."

Next, DC will release Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016, followed by Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Justice League and other films that will gradually build the DC movie universe. Tsujihara said this series of films is very valuable: "You don't have to explain to the audience what Batman v Superman is." Today, superhero-themed works have exploded in the fields of film, television and games. Tsujihara is not worried about this. He believes that movies, TV shows and games are different types of products, "You need to take advantage of the different characteristics of these products."

Kevin Tsujihara's comments on DC superhero movies can be regarded as a response to "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." In an interview with MTV in February, Samuel L. Jackson did not hide his admiration for his former employer Marvel: "Marvel has hundreds of characters that can be used in movies. Those of us who grew up reading comics understand the concept of different comic characters appearing in other people's series. Marvel has figured out how to make the audience like to watch superhero movies, but DC has not done it."

The finale of Marvel's second phase, Avengers 2, will be released in North America on May 1, and the big screen competition between Marvel and DC will become more intense in 2016. Now, facing the inevitable comparison, Warner CEO has spoken personally, and it is exciting to see what Marvel will respond.
