It seems that the Green Lantern movie toys were popular enough for them to move forward with the DKR line. That, or Mattel was too far into the development cycle to stop now.

I think a better indication of where Mattel's corporate head is at will be how they handle a toy line for Man of Steel. If it is done in the same fashion as GL and DKR, then I think it would be safe to assume Mattel thinks toy lines like that are profitable enough with kids and collectors to keep the status quo.

If they attempt to do a MoS line that is similar to MU, then we might see a change for the better (as far as collectors of that scale are concerned).

Not necessarily. There are legions of fans who find Bella Swan (Twilight) to be an interesting and intriguing character. There are others who find her annoying and selfish. It does not immediately tag one group or the other as "bad" or "good". That's the difficulty when it comes to opinion. Some characters appeal to certain individuals, while others do not. And, of course, the opposite effect is also true.

I prefer Marvel characters in general, but there are some DC characters for which I am also a fan. It all boils down to one's personal taste. Just because I can't stand Guy Gardner doesn't mean that those who like him are annoying dicks (which is what I think of Guy).

The Marvel vs. DC debate will never go away as long as there are fans of both. And that's fine, as long as everyone respect's each others' opinions and considers them equally valid even in disagreement.
