Let's settle this once and for all: DC vs. Marvel Tournament

I've had my finger on the trigger a couple of times, but never pulled it. Maybe I should now that I'm thinking of it.

Superman of course

1godzillafan dropped the ball

Captain America in the Rye might have made it to the second round.

I just be going in release order.

Dayumm! That's the blu-ray transfer! The Youtube version used to be a shitty VHS tape.

Skimming through my list of matches, a lot of early ones are hilariously one-sided like this, though I think they get a little more even as they go. A lot of them are going to be "Ugh, do I really have to chose between this shit?"

I personally think Round 6 is interesting, even though I'm pretty sure I know what the winner is. I am very curious about what the split between Rounds 12 and 13 are going to be, for different reasons. I have my favorites for those two already, but I think I'm most excited for those right now.

In a "not quite" spoiler alert, my first run of these had Superman Returns pitted against Spider-Man 3. Then I forgot to add a title and it bumped each away from each other. I was kind of looking forward to that one.

Last call for votes! CAPTAIN AMERICA CAN STILL WIN THIS!

THE FINAL VOTE:
Superman
This one was always going to be a slaughter.  It's the first example of what a superhero movie can be vs. the ultimate example of what it shouldn't be.

The Score
Superman:  12
Captain America:  0



Captain America throws his plastic shield at Superman, which shatters on impact.  In retaliation, Superman uses his heat vision to melt those stupid rubber ears on the side of Cap's cowl.  Cap's next move is to faint, as Superman wins the match, finally taking home a W after tying his first match to a duck.

DC:  2
Marvel:  0
Draw:  1
