Hello, everyone. Welcome to another post on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum. Usually in the past, I would present only one topic per forum post for The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, but after last time's post, I decided that from now on, if more than...

Today on the DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I post a topic where you, the readers are invited to share your memories of the Iron Man category of the Marvel Universe franchise as we take time to celebrate 50 years of Marvel's famous powered armored super-hero.
Here are some questions you may want to consider as you take part in the discussion: How you first got to know Iron Man? What are your favorite Iron Man adventures/battles? Any favorite characters from the Iron Man comics? Any favorite Iron Man armors from over the years? Would you say Iron Man's gotten more fresh in comics over the years or worse, even after the launch of the Marvel Now! initiative? Any favorite moments from filmed Iron Man media? Any collected merchandise so far?

With the release of Man of Steel nearing, I thought for today's posted topic on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I host a topic where the theme is all things live-action films and T.V. series based on DC Comics' comic book hero and/or heroine characters. Yes, it's been 70 years since the first live-action filmed piece based on a DC Comics hero/heroine came out (that's of course the 1943 serial The Batman). Over the years, we have witnessed the releases of a number of live-action productions based on characters of the DC Universe mythos (like the 1966 Batman T.V. series, the 1974 Shazam T.V. series, the 1970s Wonder Woman T.V. series, Superman: The Movie, the 1990s The Flash, Jonah Hex, Green Lantern, and recently Arrow) as well as live-action productions based on DC Comics heroes and heroines not part of the DC Universe mythos (like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, A History of Violence, The Spirit, Red, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen).
Anyway, in discuciing the theme of this forum post, you can talk about things like what DC based-live-action works are your favorites, what works you find best respect the appeal and essence of their comic book counterparts (example: do you find Watchmen was true to the comic book limites sereis it was based on?), what live-action works you find have lead actors who well looked and/or acted the DC heroe/heroine roles themselves (example: do you find Linda Carter well acted and looked the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman when she starred in the 1970s Wonder Woman T.V. series?), and what DC Comics-based live-actions would you recommend to non-comic book readers.

Today on The DC and Marvel Heroes Forum, I decided to post a forum topic post where you are invited to share your memories of the Superman category of the DC Universe franchise from over the years, although the 75th anniversary of Superman's official debut is not until 4/18/2013. Yes, DC Comics' premier super-hero has been around for such a long time and still remaining a fresh pop culture icon for western society, even still being one the most popular superheroes from all fiction.
Anyway, here are some questions you may want to consider: What are your favorite Superman adventures/battles? How you first got to know Superman? Any favorite characters from the Superan comics? What are your thougths/feelings about the DC New 52's revamp/reboot of Superman so far? Would you say Superman has gotten better or worse in comics over the years? Any favorite moments in filmed Superman media (examples: the 1996 animated Superman T.V. series and Smallvile)? Any merchandise collected so far (ex: statues)?

Today, I post up the first ever topic for the DC and Marvel Heroes Forum to have both DC and Marvel stuff in one topic, and since today's International Women's Day, I thought about celebrating this special day by host a topic where the focus is on the heroines and villainesses from DC and Marvel. Over the years, DC Comics and Marvel Comics, like several other comic book companies, have wowed fans with fictional female heroines and villainesss, and these gals have been admired for not only their beauty, but also their sense of strength (physically and/or mentally), inginuity, combat skills, ambition, power, intelligence, etc. Some heroines and vilainessess even manage to be great leaders. With such amazing female characters, comics manage to remind us that women are capable of doing any task a man can accomplish.
Anyway, for discussion, you are to talk about your favorite heroines and villainesses from DC and/or Marvel. Make sure to talk about why you love these characters, and you're welcome to talk about your favorite moments involving them, whether it be from the comics or even from TV series and films based on the comic properties. As an option, you can argue which side you consider has the superior heroines and villainesses (DC or Marvel, or even both) and why.
