Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Id say marvel has always been more character based rather than cape based in that they put more of an emphasis on the people behind the mask where as DC at least used to put the emphasis on the superhero doing superhero things. DC is trying to do more of that now, but just based on the characters themselves its hard to a superman or bat man book where you dont see him in the suit for the majority of it, where as in a wolverine or spiderman book, you can see them outside of their costumes for an entire book.

that said, the entire tone of the marvel does seem brighter to me. Theres millions of people with powers and abilities. DC, seems like you just have the big heros as gods looking down with not too many others with powers. I think a lot of DC being dark and dreary is headed by batman and his saturation in everything DC. Theres like 10 batman nooks right now.
