Hire a new PR team.
>>78026466
you can't beat Disney PR
Just focus on making good books across the line. Have a nice wide variety. Focus on the loyal fanbase
We need to fix the general public, DC is mostly fine now. Much better than Bendisvel, at least.
Start making shittier comics, it's what sells.
This hasn't been a thing for decades.
DC, aside from some excellent one shots, is a complete joke.
>>78026483
>Just focus on making good books across the line. Have a nice wide variety. Focus on the loyal fanbase
But Marvel and DC are popular because they do the opposite of this.
Publishers that try what you're suggesting always have much lower sales than Marvel or DC.
Hire new PR team
Since Disney got marvel's back DC needs a company good at marketing, Blizzard come to mind
>>78026605
DC is owned by Time Warner.
>>78026192
This is more of a market correction than anything. For most of their rivalry, DC was always the lower selling house by far. Even when other publishers closed completely, their readerships didn't go predominantly to one or the other "big 2".
It wasn't until the late 80s/early 90s that they began to achieve sales parity, and even the last decade or so DC has usually lagged behind. DC has coped by being part of a hugely successful media group that has been able to push its characters far more easily than Marvel's.
You can't fix 80 years of history, anon.
>>78026483
>Just focus on making good books across the line. Have a nice wide variety. Focus on the loyal fanbase
That's exactly what DCYou was and yet it was a colossal fucking failure.
>>78026192
Pay a bunch of trending celebs to be seen reading DC. When they are interviewed, make sure to work in a question about comics to which they can say "I only read DC. Marvel sucks."
Because writing quality books doesn't mean shit. It's all image.
>>78026192
Are Marvel Comics big? I know their movies are, but their comics have always been a shit to me.
>>78026673
DCYou was an attempt to copy marvel's more tubmlr books
>>78026192
>What the fuck went wrong for DC and how do we fix it?
Literally their marketing team. For such a well known company with iconic characters that have had so much influence, they have some of the shittiest marketing ever. How is that even possible when Batman, Superman, and Wonder Women are the poster boys for the company?
Don't fix it. The world doesn't need a Big Two.
We should be celebrating the fact that creator-owned comics are slowly closing the gap between themselves and Disney/Warner Bros.
>>78026192
There's a Big Three now, Anon-kun.
>>78026655
I know, but WB marketing is horrible
>>78026715
Here's the physical market share breakdown as of October. There's currently a Comixology thread up looking at digital, but since we don't have hard numbers on digital, it's mostly a guessing game for figuring out what the digital breakdown is.
Either way, digital only sells ~10-20% of what physical does.
>>78026845
Literally the worst. I mean shit, they practically endorse in-fighting within the company. That whole Cartoon Network vs. DC bullshit was absurd and something Disney would never allow to happen with Marvel and Disney XD.
>>78026386
Now that's an episode i want to see
>>78026868
It's a company group, not a single company. There are very practical and solid reasons for operating that way (not least that it limits liability - eg when New Line tried screwing Peter Jackson and the LotR cast out of their earnings, they could only sue New Line, not the whole group).
One result of that is that they legally can't share assets and have to run as separate companies - they're more likely to enter into joint ventures, but each of them has shareholders and each of them has responsibility to those shareholders to maximise profit. You can't just say "we're going to loan $500m to DC Entertainment because it's struggling", you have to have a business case for doing so that goes beyond sentiment.
>>78026299
DC needs more editorial meddling to keep everything in line and create so sort of consistency between the books.
the books just don't feel like they take place in the same universe anymore.
>>78026192
No there is still a big 2Marvel andBatman
>>78027279
Good. Shared universes are cancer.
New 52's not worth reading is what went wrong.
The issue isn't that there isn't any DC it's that Marvel has the power of near limitless funding and advertising. They don't have to bank on their books anymore (which are crap by the way). Now they can just sit and pump out movies, toys, pajamas, dildos. Until superhero media eventually burns out.
>>78026192

Marvel always had a smear campaign against DC but Disney dialed it up to 11.
You got normie retards that have never read a comic in their life that think DC sucks just because that is what they are told.
Like that retard playing Falcon shit talking DC for no reason. He done goofed and WB will never hire him.
>>78027700
Most of these were horrible on Marvel's part. But it proves that yelling and making it sound like you're the first and best to do it is the way to go.

They should renumber and jack up the prices on their books.
Apparently comic book fans love being fucked in the ass.
>>78029538
DCYou was a colossal sales failure meanwhile All-new All-Different was a massive sales success.
The OP is still just exaggerating though. Even with DCYou not doing as well as they'd hoped, they still have a respectable 25% marketshare. See:
>>78026853
>>78026192
Marvel did a great job stealing public mindshare away from batman and to a lesser extent (and somewhat ironically) spiderman. Xmen is on its way out of the mindshare too, which will happen once an Inhumans movie launches.
>>78029681
And Marvel is running high from Secret Wars, so yeah, coming off that even and launching a bunch of #1s. Of course they had a good month, won't be long at 50% though.
>>78026192
Marvel makes better movies while DC makes better shows. This is perfectly balanced imo and I wouldn't change a thing.
>>78029875
star wars hype will be down soonafter fans declare the movie is shit because it won't be better than ESB
>>78026720
Kill yourself
>>78029875
Not to mention Star Wars which has been doing straight up absurd sales numbers.
Basically, DC is doing around how they usually do at a time where they were hoping to sell higher than usual, and they're looking worse than usual because Marvel is currently doing so well. In truth, Marvel is doing better than usual and DC is doing about the same, but because of the expectations for DC and Marvel chewing up a higher percentage of market share, it's causing to make DC look like they're doing worse than they actually are.

Outside of Batman-Universe DC has no cool heroes. That's not the 70's anymore.
Marvel outsells DC because they have Star Wars and because they will go to every length to goose sales up to and including tri-monthly shipping and 4.99 20 page pamphlets.

I disagree, I'm finding a number of their titles to be quite entertaining, it's hard for me to pass judgment on a whole comic line when that line is 2 issues in at best.

>You had guys like Levitz doing seemingly little acts like pissing off the Wildstorm creators like Millar, Hitch, Brubaker, Ennis
What's the story here? Never heard of it.
>>78031162
Basically this is my opinion too. Harras drove DC into the ground most recently same as how he did with Marvel in the 90s.
But there were problems as Warners/DC at a fundamental level for decades. WB have owned DC since the 80s. And other than Batman they haven't done much but squander the IP.
Marvel managed to take over global entertainment in 4 - 5 short years of gaining access to funds and the Hollywood studio system. What have Warners done with the larger DC universe in 30 years?
Given us Catwoman, Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern.. They could have had a Joss Whedon helmed Wonder Woman movie out of the door over a decade ago but fucked it up. That's the kind of franchise people make careers on and Warners just don't as a corporate entity understand the properties.
The rot was even within the comics division. You had guys like Levitz doing seemingly little acts like pissing off the Wildstorm creators like Millar, Hitch, Brubaker, Ellis.. Who subsequently were welcomed with open arma by Marvel handed their crown jewels and laid the foundation for the MCU and a multi billion dollar universe of franchises..
>>78031681
Nice company war, bro.
>>78031639
>Harras drove DC into the ground most recently
DCYou is not Harras, its pretty much the other way around, Harras would be using the same old stories and nothing would change and take no risks, this is pretty much the opposite
>>78031681
>pissing off the Wildstorm creators like Millar, Ellis

>In 1998 DC Comics bought Wildstorm. It was generally agreed they wanted it for three things. The colourists. Jim Lee. And Alan Moore.
>As a result, they also got The Authority, Warren Ellis’ recreation of the Wildstorm Universe that parodied and satirised much of DC’s. And under Mark Millar would grab news headlines around the world and cause Paul Levitz to personally intervene, changing dialogue and finished art because they offended his sensibilities. It would cost editor John Layman his job. Mark left for Marvel and went exclusive. He would not write for DC of Wildstorm again.
>Alan Moore wrote a number of books for Wildstorm, including WildCATS and then his ABC line. DC just managed to keep Moore on board by the skin of their teeth when buying the company, and indeed he would do his first work for hire for DC in ages on the Albion book as a result. However conflict, especially over V For Vendetta and League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Paul Levitz would see him leave, taking League with him. It would cost editor Scott Dunbier his job. Moore would not write for DC or Wildstorm again.
>Garth Ennis wrote a number of books for Wildstorm, around his character Kev. He also wrote The Boys for Wildstorm at the behest of Dan DiDio. Paul Levitz so violently reacted to this series on publication, despite sales that started at 60,000 and rose, that the series was cancelled and Dynamite picked it up. Garth Ennis would not, etc etc etc…

They at any point can do a massive reboot and revert it to how it was. I however hope they go from DCYou and press on. Never read DC until New 52 and I've enjoyed it, not everything is great but it's fun. Just keep on from the DCYou, make it feel more connected, the fear of continuity is annoying and we'll be set...at least for me.

The brand is tainted. And no mouth to mouth resuscitation can save it. Dan DiDio and Jim Lee just put it out of its misery and pulled the plug.
>>78031720
The MCU directly comes from the work of Millar, Hitch, Brubaker, Quietly, Ellis, etc at Marvel under Quesada in the early to mid 00s. Levitz pissing them off so they ran to Marvel wasn't smart businesswise that handed DC's main rival a billion dollar rejuvanation of its properties, regardless of your personal opinion of Marvel.

It's as laughable as the idea that DC has made any good movies since The Dark Knight
>>78031851
And Hitch is writing JL nowadays. And Quitely still draws some thing for DC and Vertigo.
>>78031876
I'll take a DC movie over any Disney quipfest, /tv/.
>>78026192
nothing, they just left the scraps of the dying floppy market to Marvel and moved to the trade market and the sweet, sweet cash of Barnes & Noble casuals
>>78031814

When will they make one anon?
All I ever see from them are shitty quip-fests that might sometimes occasionally have a cape for about 5 minutes at best.
>>78031827
>Quitely
wot
>>78031876
They don't have to. They already made the genre defining, award winning film.
And did it again with Man of Steel which marvelfags will forever complain and whine about since they know they will never have anything half as good.

Kind of random thought, does DC have characters that can have this kind of stuff somewhat often?

Iron Man was an okay at best Robert Downey is a douche movie. As a superhero movie? It had what....10 whole minutes of Iron Man in it? As a hero he is a shit alcoholic that fights normal guys that pretend to be villains. It was not a superhero movie at all.
Cap 2 was Bourne Identity wrapped in a shill American Flag. You had to watch it or be accused of not being Murican enough.
Both are complete shit compared to the real superhero films. MoS and Dark Knight.
Trade up or quit pretending to like cape films. Clearly you do not.

They didn't. /co/ did.
>>78032037
I'll bet $$$ that Marvel book is Vision?
Why are they trying to shove Avengers into the spotlight anyway?
They are a team made up entirely of the 2nd rate heroes that were never mainstream popular.

That was because of Whedon. Joss Whedon fags pour money all over him any time he takes a shit. And them hope the next shit will be more episodes of Firefly.

I don't think the film crews give much of a fuck, most are casual comic fans and don't care much for the DC Marvel rivalry. Hell some here I'm sure want DC to succeed but are worried they fucked things up with Green Lantern and MoS switching places in starting off the DCEU or whatever was going on with that.
>>78032351
>direct-to-video animated features
>>78032181
Superman I, II, Batman 89, Begins, if we're talking animated films that opens things up a lot. Plus you said "good" not great or perfect so maybe Batman Returns and Batman Forever? They're flawed but watchable. Batman 66 is campy fun.
The only truly bad ones are Steel, Batman and Robin, and Green Lantern. It's generally agreed Supes 3, 4 and Catwoman are at least bad enough to be entertaining throughout and Catwoman and Steel are pretty removed from their comic counterparts. Pretty sure Catwoman's goal was to give Eartha's Catwoman an identity but it didn't do the poor gal justice.
Man of Steel is kind of crappy but I find more middle of the road boring than on the level of Green Lantern. It pisses me off as a Superman film but when I look out it without my emotions it's just kind of there and should be forgotten one day.
Should we count serials? I haven't seen those so I can't really place them anywhere...
>>78032380
>direct-to-video animated features are not movies

>>78031899

You're trying too hard.
>>78032444
>Back at Anthony Russo’s Omelete interview, the director was then asked about there being a competition with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice considering it hits theaters just over a month before Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War and both movies share some similarities. “Well, as filmmakers, my brother and I, we love the [superhero] genre,” Russo started. “The more good comic book movies there are, the better as far as we are concerned. We don't really look at it as a competition. We think [Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director] Zack Snyder is great, and we hope the movie is fun, great and cool, and something we all enjoy just like everybody else.”
>>78032417
I didn't say they weren't movies. I was implying that they aren't even on the same level of quality as real movies.
>>78032400
>Man of Steel is kind of crappy but I find more middle of the road boring than on the level of Green Lantern. It pisses me off as a Superman film but when I look out it without my emotions it's just kind of there and should be forgotten one day.

Just the "Direct-to-Video" ones.
>>78032470
I never said it was a good movie it's just more mediocre and forgettable than we all want to admit. It'd be just like Returns if it weren't launching the DCEU.
Hell I forgot about Returns. Fuck that movie too. It was better than MOS though.
>>78032489
is it, though
