OK, before we get into this… what the heck is up with that horrible backdrop on MTV’s videos? Man, that’s an eye-ache…

Anyway…

Nick Fury himself, Samuel L Jackson, has been talking about the reason Marvel are doing so well and DC have yet to work it out – although, personally, I reckon it’s the ten movie head start, but that’s an argument for another day – and ponders if there is a formula to it.

 “The Marvel Universe is huge.” He says.

“There’s I don’t know how many thousands of characters there are in the Marvel Universe, that they have access to use. I think Marvel has figured out a way to make those movies accessible to the public that DC hasn’t. I don’t know what that is. I don’t know why you can’t get Batman and Superman, people as juiced up to be a part of that.”

Aren’t we all excited for Batman V Superman? Personally, it’s the one movie I can’t wait for after The Force Awakens.

Let the arguments begin…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
