Photo: 'Wonder Woman 1984'/Warner Bros. When it comes to superheroes, there are two pantheons that inevitably draw a comparison - Marvel and DC. In recent years, Marvel has dominated the cinematic stage, not only in terms of box office performance but by pioneering the concept of a shared cinematic universe. Of course, Marvel didn’t invent the concept--Universal Pictures did back in the 1940s when they decided to take different characters from their wildly popular monster movies and produce crossovers, starting with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man. Nevertheless, when a modern moviegoing audience envisions a shared cinematic universe, it’s going to be in the context of superhero movies. Marvel films can be generally agreed upon as being more successful, but DC managed to do one thing before Marvel did--produce a good film with a strong female lead.
