[edit] the First
DC and Marvel's first collaboration was a comic book adaptation of the Wizard of Oz.
The first DC/Marvel crossover was published by DC Comics and it was Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man, published in 1976. The second crossover was published in Marvel Treasury Edition #28 and was cover-titled Superman and Spider-Man, from 1981.
These and the third (Batman vs. the Incredible Hulk) and then fourth (Teen Titans/X-Men) crossover appeared to be in a continuity seperate from either DC or Marvel. There was fifth planned, a Justice League of America/Avengers crossover drawn by George Perez but it was cancelled.
I'm not going through this.
[edit] Captain America vs. Batman
It appears that Batman wins, yes, but immediately afterwards he says, "I lost." Could somebody please explain this to me, possibly adjusting the article to clear up this confusion?
It is Cap that says "I lost." If it appears Batman said this it is likely simply due to poor word balloon placement (i.e., a minor production error). Batman won the vote, and thus his batarang was shown to hit Cap, whereas Cap's shield did not hit Batman. Chris1435 20:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Joker
The Joker seems to be aware of a previous Spider-man crossover, while Spider-man isn't. This may indicate a fourth wall awareness.
- The Spider-Man that showed up in the crossover was Peter Parker, the Spider-Man in DC Vs Marvel is Ben Reilly
[edit] The Brothers
Are the brothers mentioned outside of the crossover? I heard they were mentioned in Silver Surfer.
[edit] Hulk vs Superman
I am very confused about this battle as superman is superhumanly fast right ? then couldnt superman just use his super-speed and smack the hulk with full force punches and as a result defeat the hulk easily ?
The whole thing about superhuman speed is ambiguous. Superman can move at superhuman speeds but doesn't often utilize it in combat. Nearly 10 years ago, the Hulk battled a character called Gladiator. Gladiator is a Superman-inspired character more often popping up in the X-Men titles every now and again. He has powers similar to Superman including superhuman strength, invulnerability, flight, heat vision, etc. He can also run at supersonic speeds but I don't believe that it's ever really been shown in a combat type of situation. I don't know why really. I don't generally follow Superman but I've heard that the character has rarely utilized his full speed in combat situations. Maybe the writers simply don't feel like coming up with an equalizer to combat Superman's speed. Odin's Beard 00:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cap vs Batman explanation
Earlier on in the series, Cap throws his shield past Bane. Bane assumes he missed, but like a boomerang, the shield returns and knocks bane out cold when it slams into his head. This is what happened to Batman, which is why he then says you're good with that shield.
[edit] How many
How many issues did this series run for? CmdrClow 00:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- 4 issues, I believe 2 were made by Marvel and 2 were made by DC. RobJ1981 01:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Card sets?
Is it really necessary to list each and every card for the card sets on the Marvel vs DC page? Wouldn't it be easier to just create a page (or pages) that just list the sets. It seems like clutter to me.... RobJ1981 01:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other DC and Marvel crossovers
Does this really need to be on Marvel vs DC? I can understand some of it being there... but wouldn't a "see also" section be easier? It seems like clutter just like the whole card sets section. RobJ1981 05:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering the same thing myself. I thought the article was devoted to the Marvel vs DC crossover in and of itself, not it and every other crossover the two companies have had with one another. As far as the cards go, I don't really believe that they're necessary either. Maybe a "see also" section like you suggested or just mention that a card set surrounding the crossover was released as well. Odin's Beard 00:10, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- I created one page for the card sets, as I don't see why there needs to be several for them. They are somewhat notable I suppose, but there isn't much about them. The page can be found here List of DC versus Marvel card sets. RobJ1981 18:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Since someone refuses to let me remove material without mentioning it on the talk page, here goes. A section titled "Misrepresentations" has a completely meaningless title, especially since the title is nowhere explained in the section. Moreover, comics are littered with in-joke cameos of characters from other companies. It's silly to have a section that includes only one example out of dozens or more of them; and including every one in existence would be ridiculously unwieldy.

There, that wasn't so hard was it? Nothing wrong with editing information in the articles. However, you up and deleted an entire section. Granted, it wasn't a large section, but that's irrelevant. Deleting an article section without discussing the reason why is vandalism according to Wikipedia policy. Odin's Beard 00:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
