I'm glad this thread has been started, since I've been having these same discussions with a bunch of my friends lately.

Comic book wise, I definitely gravitate toward Marvel and their books make up the vast majority of my comic library. Their universe, stories and characters just happen to be far more appealing to me vs the three characters that actually interest me in DC (Batman, Superman and occasionally Wonder Woman).

The animated movies, however, have the complete opposite effect. I've watched every Marvel Anime I can get my hands on and yet...the one truth remains. DC does their fight scenes BETTER! Hands down. I don't know why this is, but show me a Marvel Movie that does fight scenes longer or better than Superman/Batman Apocalypse, Wonder Woman or Under the Red Hood, and if you say Planet Hulk or even Hulk vs, I will gladly disagree. The stories, IMO, have been on par with each other.

Dr. Strange and Iron Man were great animated representations of their origin stories, I thought. Hulk vs. series was about the equivalent to the Superman/Shazaam movie with the exception that I think Hulk gets the edge simply because Deadpool was in it...and therefore makes me biased

Planet Hulk and Superman/Batman (the first one, without Supergirl) both failed me in terms of key story elements that I loved so much in the books: Silver Savage fight and Captain Atom taking the ship himself instead of the movie having Batman do it. However, I appreciated the effort taken to bring these representations to the screen.

Under the Red Hood is still my favorite of the DC and Marvel Animated movies so far. The worst movie I've seen so far is the recent All Star Superman. I hated the story (never read the comic) and this version of Superman and Lois Lane, although I loved Lex Luthor. The pacing seemed all wrong and there were several different events in the movie taking place that I felt were irrelevant to the main storyline and just didn't make any sense to me. It was the first Animated comic movie that I wanted to return, except my roommate bought it.
