Best line before I forget it: "Patriotism: The Superhero!"
Wow, this was a great debate today. I find both teams have their ups and downs, which I'll elaborate on later after some research. I agree with Chris, though, that if your team is famous for its members fighting each other on a regular basis, that's a point against their favor.

So at one point Chris says that the justice league has no real inner turmoil between people. Infinite Crisis anyone? A hero's wife gets raped by a villan and then they cover it up. There is a definitive split in the support of such idea which creates a permanent fracture between multiple members of the Justice League. That was huge for the DC Universe with those characters. So much humanity was shown.
First off: The Authority wins because they've got a drug-addled Dutchman who basically controls the planet. And a sun god, the best assassin that'll ever be, a girl who can create anything from nothing, a living bolt of lightning, a guy who can let a city get up out of the ground and step on you and the there's Swift... Uhm, yeah, she's really pretty.
Other than that the Avengers once included Doctor Strange. They win.
Also, there's a pattern there.
It's called: Dr. Fate is balls. ^_^

Im gonna call the justice league on this one if youre going to say whos going to win in a straight up fight. The best player on the avengers is either Iron man or Thor (cause lets face it, you tell captain america to hurt someone like superman who is ACTUAL US personified [an immigrant who made their life and actually achieved the dream of success and love and all that jazz, while having the boy scout morals Captain is so famous for], and hes just going to roll over and die), and they have to then fight Superman, Batman (who will go toe to toe with tony and i would say win, because hes caught more training and skill), Martian man hunter, green lantern, and wonderwoman.
and really, when the weakest link in your chain can theorectically summon and control Cthulu, whos stronger.

Both teams has their pros and cons. Sure DC are never good when it come to live action movies other than Batman however they are great when it come to animaited movies (Batman: Under The Red Hood, Justice League Doom and etc) unlike Marvel animated movies.
Warner Bros does have the abailty to make a multiple product spanning movie/show. For proof just look at Scooby Doo Mystery Incorperated series which has Quest Labs in an important cameo(like Iron Man 2 having Captain America's shield) as well as older and more obscure mystery solving teams in a dream sequence and the wikipedia page says Dino Mutt will be included later and more HB characters are probably possible not to mention the series own main story is very good and Udo Kier as Professor Paracles is great as a possible villian.
Wolverine would beat Batman, Thor would fight Superman, Quicksilver could take on the Flash, Ms Marvel could fight Wonderwoman, Vision could go up against the Martian Manhunter, Iron Man would occupy Green Lantern, and none of it would mater because the Scarlet Witch would destroy them all.emeraldrafael said:
I don't think a Justice League movie could work to be honest, but then I haven't seen The Avengers movie yet so maybe I'll change my mind when I have.
I assume you mean the most recent Avengers cartoon and I agree. Voice acting was better too.unsmart said:
The Defenders are a better team than Avengers any day of the week...
However lots of points should have been raised. Yes, lots of animated movies by WB, but who cares? The big negative for JL they should have hit was back when there was Justice League Europe and Justice League International and Justice League Ice Station Zebra or whatever...
And the time JL didn't have the big three on the team because DC didn't want JL to taint them! Who'd we get? Booster Gold and Blue Beetle as the main members.
And everyone's a reservist for the JL! They got a whole magic team of Zatanna, Dr Strange and others on speeddial!
And Civil War was rubbish. The Annihilation arc going on at the same time was better. However, anything involving Thanos wins.

In terms of their teamwork and within their world, yes. But as readers, that internal strife is far more interesting to read because it's essentially drama with super powers. I'd much rather read how Hulk and Thor fight because Thor said something that inadvertently pissed Hulk off than most anything with Superman.Darth_Payn said:
OT: Kyle, I do believe that the Avengers have dealt with reality-saving issues before. I know at least in the cartoon (and probably in the comics) that Loki put the nine-realms in danger and nearly caused Ragnarok, which endangered all of reality.
Depends on if you want the more entertaining team or the one that's better at saving the world from intergalactic doom. Avengers are way more entertaining (what with their narrower powers and occasional intra-team bickering.) But if the fate of the world's on the line, I don't want 'entertaining', I want results.
The Avengers also always have room on their team for reformed villains (Hawkeye, Quick Silver, Scarlet Witch, The Vision), and they are supported by the personal fortune of a member (Tony Stark, although I would assume the JLA is supported by Bruce Wayne's fortune, but I'm not sure)SilverUchiha said:
I don't think a lot of people understand what a hero is supposed to be in comics. "OH but we can relate better to marvel because theyre more human!" Who cares? You're not supposed to be relating that much to them, THEYRE SUPER HEROES, not everyday joe. They're supposed to be SUPER. What half of Marvel's heroes do is not super. Better than random person? Sure. But not all that super powered comparatively. Comics were made to get away from -our- reality and it sure seems like a lot of Marvel fans want to have their cake and eat it too.
Scarlet Witch? Good luck taking on The Spectre.artanis_neravar said:
