Let's see: Superman and Batman. Who else is famous?
Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Hawkman...
Honestly, I don't know what the deal is. I think sometime in the '70s or '80s DC got the image of being "campy," whereas Marvel had more of a street-cred. At least that was my perception. Or maybe it's just that Avi Arad is better at exploiting Marvel's properties than...whoever is the boss at DC.

Speaking of Marvel, here comes Orson Scott Card. They already have Stephen King adapting The Dark Tower series.
With that said, I was going to point out that nobody should discount what Joe Quesada is doing at Marvel right now, or at least, what's being done under his leadership. Behind him, they've gone from bankruptcy to market domination.
I think Marvel taking control of their own films was brilliant. Meanwhile, DC gives control of it's properties to Hollywood and watch as the "brain trust" in Hollywood decides to cast Jack Black as the Green Lantern and turn it into a comedy.
Yeah, that's what people want to see. Ignore the constant $100 million+ openings that the Marvel movies are doing.

Man, I'm hoping against all hope that won't happen. The superhero with the coolest and most powerful weapon of all time.

Oh. But I'm sure there's an Ender movie speculation thread somewhere in this forum. I thought they were finally moving forward.
Do you think the comic will show the 8 year old boy brutally killing 2 kids (granted, in self defense), moments which completely define his character, in the comic?

Why wouldn't it?
I would honestly say that comics are the most adult medium going today. Really. Yes, there are titles geared towards kids, but Marvel and independents, in particular, have lines of titles made specifically for adult audiences.
Name a theme and comics are doing it today:
-Incest (yep)
-Rape (yep)
-Murder (yep)
-Torture and mutilation (yep)
-Cutting up a super hero's girlfriend and stuffing her pieces in his fridge (yep)
There is some brutal shit going on in comics and occurring in storylines that would lose most Hollywood audiences.
Don't get stuck on the word "comics", instead think of them as "graphic novels", it might help you get past any pre-judgments you may have about the genre.
Of course, you should know all about this type of thinking because you play video games, and we all know only kids play video games...
