    The War Between Marvel and DC Television Infographic By The Geek Twins [Infographic]

    Marvel is king of the box office, but this infographic I created shows DC rules live-action television.

    The comic book companies Marvel and DC comics have been producing live-action television shows based on their books for decades. DC manages to beat Marvel at every turn. Frankly, I thought the results would be a lot closer.

    While shows based on Hulk, Jessica Jones, Mockingbird, Cloak and Dagger and The Punisher are in development, Marvel has to go a long way to catch up to DC’s dominance of live-action television.

    The graphic shows the number of episodes for each show based on Marvel and DC comic books. While the number of episodes a television show runs is not a complete measure of it’s success, shows that work for a large number of people get renewed. Shows that are unpopular do not.

      Some of those shows I remember watching as a kid. (Which is why I've waited forever for a JLA movie.) Think Marvel is happy ruling the box office though.

      There was a period in the forties when DC produced radio shows and a television serializations. Also, Marvel did diverse into records in the sixties.

      Yeah, I think they can be happy with a few billion dollars in the bank Alex.

      I used to have a huge box in my bedroom bursting with comics. One day after school it was gone! Tough love apparently.

      Good point Jay! I wonder how radio would factor into this? The Superman shows alone would probably crush Marvel. Thanks for commenting!

      I think they got Wonder Woman mixed up with Spider-Man on that graphic….
      I think she had 82 episodes in her series… And Spidey's was thirteen.

      Good question KryptoTSD. I double-checked Wikipedia and Wonder Woman ran 59 episodes and Spider-Man for only 15. The Japanese version of Spider-Man ran an astonishing 41 episodes in one year! Thanks for joining in.
