Sure, I'll agree that DC wins (if it were a competition) the TV thing. But, I think a lot of people underestimate Marvel's animated shows over the years. From the 90s onwards, most of them have been great. There were a few in the 90s that I found unbearable, and Ultimate Spider-Man is pretty bad. But yeah, Avengers:EMH, Wolverine and the X-Men, and Spectacular Spider-Man are all amazing. But there's a few other gems in there, like Spider-Man: the New Animated Series, X-Men: Evolution, Black Panther, 90s Spider-Man and X-Men. But yeah, DC kicks arse with the live-action thing as well as a really good set of animated shows, so yeah...

As for the films, I agree, simply because of the MCU. But X-Men's okay (and looks like it's getting better with First Class and Days of Future Past), and Spider-Man's much better now with Garfield. But yeah, DC have pretty much only done Superman and Batman. However, what are you even talking about with Nolan? Instead of just whinging, I'll give you my answers to your questions.


 * Really dark? Yes.
 * Really realistic? Well... for a Comicbook movie, yes.
 * Dramatic? Yes. I don't understand this "over dramatic" you speak of.
 * Complex and memorable characters? No doubt. Everyone has a great deal of depth. What about Gordon? Rachael? Harvey? Batman? Do you remember them?
 * Respected Batman blah blah? So much. The whole movie was basically respect for Batman. They captured him amazingly.

As for comics, if they reboot is the only thing you hate, just keep in mind, that if Marvel wants to keep their characters young, they'll have to reboot one day.
