 * DC only has about 7 well-known characters  Which they've done without the help of films. Marvel cannot say this. Actually, DC has well more than 7 well-known characters. Heck, there are more than 7 well-known characters just associated with Batman.  * Marvel is more believable through non-superpowered heroes  Absolutely false. While Marvel does have non-superpowered superheroes like Iron Man, Hawkeye, etc., they are much more well known for superpowered characters like the Hulk, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. Meanwhile, DC has Batman, who is the quintessential superhero without superpowers, and his rogues gallery, the most well known of any rogues gallery between DC and Marvel, almost entirely consists of villains without superpowers.  * DC makes really cheesy heroes (Superman basically set the bar for cleshe)  It's about even, really. DC's most notable properties all have their roots in the Golden Age of comics in the 30's and 40's, so some level of camp and cheesiness is to be expected. But it's not like the stuff Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were doing in the 60s was any less cheesy. Honestly, there's no point choosing between the two. In terms of the comics themselves, they're about even. While DC tends to have better TV shows, Marvel clearly has the lead when it comes to film.
