Motherhood In Hollywood

Full disclosure here: I am a DC nerd. Seriously, it doesn't get any better than DC, right? Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman…I mean that’s the Trinity right there. Add in Martian Manhunter, Flash, Green Lantern (my personal favorite) and a slew of additional awesomeness and you have the perfect recipe for superhero badassdom. So why are Marvel movies so much better than DC movies? Let's break it down. I’ve never been a huge comic book guy. But when I did read the comics (or graphic novels as I try to sell the idea of them to my wife), I always gravitated to the DC universe. Outside of the occasional Spider Man or Hulk comic, Marvel was pretty much completely off my radar. Captain America was cheesy and lame. And I always thought Thor was a bit of a cheat, because of the “I’m a god” thing. You can’t be a god AND a superhero, right? Flash forward to 2008. Marvel launched the MCU with Iron Man and the pitch perfect casting of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Fucking huge. I mean this put Marvel comics on the map
