Louis D'Esposito, producer on a number of Marvel films and director of Avengers DVD/Blu-ray short, ITEM 47, spoke to MTV about what 'Marvel is getting right, that DC just hasn't done.'

D'Esposito: "Somebody once told me, '[Marvel has] epic storytelling with a human spirit.' I think that's very true. Our characters are flawed. They're not perfect characters. They're very relatable. They're interesting without their superpowers. People, when they walk into the movie theater, they come from all walks of life. They can have that relatability. You put yourself in their shoes. You live vicariously through them.

I'm a movie going fan so I like seeing 'ALL' movies. I'm very excited about Batman.


D'Espostio also tried to solve the equation which is the success of Marvel's The Avengers.

D'Esposito: "That's the thing that's so elusive that you're always chasing. What's going to resonate with the audience? It had a lot of heart and soul. It had a lot of humor. It was about a group of disparate people coming together and creating a team. I think all of that. Also, too, it was for all ages, from young to old. Put all of those great assets together and you have one hell of a film."
