So, with the recent success of Thor, Captain America, *ahem* Ghost Rider *ahem*, X-Men: First Class and of course The Avengers, and with Spider-Man just around the corner, this is why Marvel is so far ahead of DC when it comes to movies.
Yes, DC has the Batman trilogy, but once The Dark Knight Rises is out, their hype machine will likely die down a little.
Marvel on the other hand, are already well on their way to giving us another Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, FUCKING AVENGERS and X-Men, and surely we haven't seen the last of Spider-Man. Plus we have The Wolverine, which will hopefully have some kind of reference to the X-Men movies, since it's pretty established now that despite continuity errors, these movies are all part of the same X-Universe.
Great fucking times ahead for Marvel fans.
P.S. Someone posted this on a previous page, but it's a good point to bring up. It's really sad that something I got ridiculed and mocked in school for reading and collecting has now become a worldwide sensation.
P.P.S. On the other hand, it's great that two of the biggest, highly-anticipated movies this year, and of recent years, are both comic book movies. Considering the state the comic world was in 15 years ago, it's really cool to see how huge these things, the comics themselves and the movies, have become.
