DC and Marvel Suit Up for the Television War!
With Marvel’s Agents of Shield coming to television this
September, we see a new conflict arising between DC and Marvel comics. This rivalry
between these two franchises was born in comics and then moved to animation,
and is currently being fought in the realm of film with DC kicking off their
cinematic universe with Man of Steel (review coming later). Now we see that this competition has moved to
live-action television. The CW’s first season of arrow was considered such a
success that there were rumors floating around the internet that DC decided to
create a DC televised universe. These rumors soon became somewhat true once
news arrived that the CW was pushing forward with its new Wonder Woman show
titled Amazon, as well as Eric Kripke’s (the creator of Supernatural) the
Deadman, and that Sci-Fi has green lit a Booster Gold television show. Now the interesting
thing about these developments is that there has been no news confirming that
any of these planned shows will be tied to Arrow or to each other, but they are
all DC and Warner Bros. properties. Do you think DC does not want to draw lines
between these shows between they will more likely than not have opposing tones?
Should these three new TV shows be interconnected
with arrow or should day all represent their own respective universes and honor
the character that they are being created for? I guess only time will tell. Also,
I find it interesting that Marvel has decided to make their Shield live-action television
show connect to their cinematic universe. Many
feel that by adding this TV show to their cinematic universe it will subtract
from the greatness of those films. What do you guys think? Do you think that
the Marvel universe will suffer from having a television show absorbing some of
its material or do you think that having the show share a universe with the
films will contribute to success of future films? Also what other characters would
you like to see it show up on your screen at home?
