Marvel vs. DC: An Attempt at an Answer

Now that the post-Infinite Crisis status quo has finally been revealed in Fifty-Two #52, I find my self wondering which of the two major fictional universes I find more attractive now that they have finished their respective "shake-up" events. I've figured that looking at how both DC and Marvel match up in some key categories will help me come to the final answer: Am I a DC or a Marvel man? Let the games begin!

New Status Quo
DC: A new multiverse. Personally I really don't care much for this idea at I felt that Hypertime was a quick and easy way to make everything work while still keeping things in one set universe. I don't really know why I would want to read anything that takes place on Earth-2 or the Faucett Earth. I like the idea of a single universe for everything, but that said, I don't really see how this will really affect me much. So really, I'm just apathetic to the multiverse.
Marvel: Ugh. I can't help but see half of Marvel's protagonists as villains now. Mrs. Marvel and Iron Man especially. Maybe this will bring about some interesting dynamics between characters, but I just don't like not being able to really care about less than half of the characters in a superhero universe. Hopefully the Hulk can help smash some of this crap back into shape.
Winner: DC, for not making their heroes either outlaws or dickheads.

Continuity
DC: A multiverse, then a single universe, then a series of interwoven timelines, then a multiverse. The post-CoIE reboot was brilliant, although necessary move but now I'm just confused by who did or didn't do what. Although I only have to wait twenty years for another reboot.
Marvel: These guys always had their shit together, although they did get a later start. Everything is in continuity, and although that means that there are decades worth of stories that "count" but no fan will have the time to read. I admire Marvel's ability to refrain from rebooting their universe and accepting that continuity is going to get fucked up now and then.
Winner: Marvel, for keeping things simple and relevant.

Old School
DC: Things were pretty goofy in the fifties and sixties for everyone in the DCU. All I can say is thank you, Baby Jesus, for Crisis on Infinite Earths. That said, DC did get their act together much sooner than the competition. Pretty much anything Neil Adams and Denny O'Neil touched in the seventies was decades ahead of its time.
Marvel: When Marvel started out, Stan Lee wrote everything and I've made my feelings on Stan's writing abilities pretty clear. That said, Jack Kirby also drew a lot of stuff and that made those ridiculous stories all the more bearable. Personally, I don't think Marvel really got its head on straight with storytelling until the late seventies, especially when Frank Miller changed Daredevil into a swashbuckling Spider-Man rip-off into a hard edged, realistic vigilante.
Winner: DC, by a nose. While the stories where Superman tricks his family and Batman died every issue were stupid, juvenile and just plain crappy, the DC books of the seventies were far more advanced than those at Marvel. That said, Jack Kirby still kicks ass.

Main "Boy Scout" Character
DC: Superman. I've always had a hard time liking Superman. As a god-like superhero, he's the template, but in the end, smashing stuff or lifting huge objects can only be so interesting. I get that there's some sort of American idealism that is supposed to be invested in Superman, but it always rings hallow to me. Maybe I just don't "get him" and need to read It's a Bird again.
Marvel: Captain America. Also hard for me to get, especially since I find nationalistic idealism often to be silly. That said, Cap has a history of standing up for what he beleives is right, even if it is in opposition to the US government. That's the sort of hero I can respect, even if he has a silly costume.
Winner: Marvel. Even anarchists can think Cap is cool, while Superman just comes off as a tool a lot of the time.

Main "Tough Guy" Character
DC: Batman. The Goddamn Batman. Don't know what else to say other than he's the coolest comic book character of all time.
Marvel: Wolverine. He can be cool, really cool, but sometimes he just gets boring. And now that he's been reduced to a skeleton only to recover in an hour or so, it's a little hard to worry about the outcomes of his stories.
Winner: DC. Batman will punch you in the neck for thinking otherwise.

Main Female Character
DC: Wonder Woman. She's always gotten the short end of the stick in the so-called "trinity" of major heroes in the DCU. I don't know much about her, but I know that she's able to kick just about anyone's ass, especially since Superman can't sometimes bring himself to do the job. That makes her cool in my book.
Marvel: Uh... who would this be exactly? Storm? Or is it Mrs. Marvel now that Ororo's married to a B-list Avenger? In any case, I can't think of a single female Marvel character that is a household name. That's sad.
Winner: DC, for simply having a woman on the A-list.

Main Superhero Team
DC: Justice League. The JLA has either been full of A-listers or stocked with silly B-listers and either way is lots of fun. Personally, I prefer to have all the best characters on the roster, but even with a few second stringers, the League is always fun.
Marvel: Avengers. Until lately the Avengers have never interested me. Other than a handful of A-list characters like Cap and Iron Man, the team seems to have always been made up of characters that no one really cares much about. The X-Men have cooler characters, but somehow the Avengers are still supposed to be "the big guns." And even when the coolest characters are on the team (as they are in the current New Avengers) it seems a little awkward and forced.
Winner: DC. Ask anyone on the street to name ten superheroes and they are likely to name mostly JLA members.

Movies (post-X-Men)
DC: Batman Begins was damn near perfect and Superman Returns was pretty fun if only a bit preachy. Catwoman is unwatchable, but is the only bad recent DC movie I can think of.
Marvel: Marvel has a bit of a head start on the superhero movie renaissance, starting with X-Men and exploding with Spider-Man. Both the X-movies and Spider-Man films have been great (even The Last Stand!) but there have been even more Marvel movies that I haven't even seen because they just look boring. Hulk, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Daredevil, all movies I would theoretically love to see, but just to not seem to look worth the effort of renting them.
Winner: Draw. While Marvel has two successful series of films under thier belt, they also have a ton of mediocre films. DC on the other hand has next to nothing but promises good stuff in the future.

Now that I've run out of categories, lets tally up the points...

And DC wins by a landslide. Really, I'm a little surprised, but the numbers don't lie. Now I just need to figure out why I read more Marvel weekly than DC.
