Found an interesting article on the Hollywoodreporter.com about the status of future DC comic movies. DC and Warner Brothers comments on the breadth of iconic superheroes they have in comparison to Marvel. In the article:
"A year after The Dark Knight became a worldwide phenomenon, there are more DC Comics adaptations in the works than at any other point since the company was acquired by Warner Brothers in 1969."
"One of the things that has differentiated us [DC Comics] for most of the last 20 years is the depth of our library and the depth of the creative material that we've put out and the opportunities that creates for other media," DC Comics president Paul Levitz said."
Although the number of Marvel films to date outweighs the number of DC films, I feel DC has the advantage by being housed under one roof, as opposed to Marvel being owned by several different movie studios. If you ask me, I prefer quality over quantity. It looks like DC is ready to make the move on some big heavy hitter movie titles.
"This past fall, Warners quietly hired three of DC's biggest writers -- Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison and Marv Wolfman -- to act as consultants and writers for its superhero line of movies. The move involved taking back the reins on projects being handled by such producers as Charles Roven ("The Flash") and Akiva Goldsman ("Teen Titans")".
