Will That Be Spandex or Leather?

I may have been a bit premature in predicting DC's continued dominance over Marvel in the movie department.

Compiling the list of upcoming adaptations, I realized that both companies have some major blockbusters in the pipeline. And even if the DC movies prove to be of higher quality (and there are no guarantees), it would appear that Marvel definitely has the advantage when it comes to quantity.

These are the upcoming DC & Marvel movies that have release dates:

2005

DC: V for Vendetta

2006

DC: Superman Returns, The Flash
Marvel: X-Men 3, Ghost Rider, Deathlok, Punisher 2, Luke Cage, Blade tv series

2007

DC: Wonder Woman
Marvel: Spider-Man 3, Iron Man, Captain America, Namor, Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD

2008

DC: Batman Begins sequel

Other Marvel projects in production:

The Hulk 2, Wolverine and Magneto spin-offs from the X-Men franchise, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Silver Surfer, Thor, and a Brother Voodoo TV series.

Of course there are always dozens if not hundreds of comic book movies "in production," but these items have been confirmed by supposedly reputable sources.

Handy websites for keeping up with this sort of thing: Comic Book Movie, Comics2Film, and Superhero Hype!
