thread_title:  what i dont see is why they dont make another.

message: It appears that Batman wins, yes, but immediately afterwards he says, "I lost." Could somebody please explain this to me, possibly adjusting the article to clear up this confusion?
It is Cap that says "I lost."  If it appears Batman said this it is likely simply due to poor word balloon placement (i.e., a minor production error).  Batman won the vote, and thus his batarang was shown to hit Cap, whereas Cap's shield did not hit Batman.  Chris1435 20:57, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Captain America vs. Batman 

message: I am very confused about this battle as superman is superhumanly fast right ? then couldnt superman just use his super-speed and smack the hulk with full force punches and as a result defeat the hulk easily ?
The whole thing about superhuman speed is ambiguous.  Superman can move at superhuman speeds but doesn't often utilize it in combat.  Nearly 10 years ago, the Hulk battled a character called Gladiator.  Gladiator is a Superman-inspired character more often popping up in the X-Men titles every now and again.  He has powers similar to Superman including superhuman strength, invulnerability, flight, heat vision, etc.  He can also run at supersonic speeds but I don't believe that it's ever really been shown in a combat type of situation.  I don't know why really.  I don't generally follow Superman but I've heard that the character has rarely utilized his full speed in combat situations.  Maybe the writers simply don't feel like coming up with an equalizer to combat Superman's speed. Odin's Beard 00:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  How many 

message: Is it really necessary to list each and every card for the card sets on the Marvel vs DC page?  Wouldn't it be easier to just create a page (or pages) that just list the sets.  It seems like clutter to me.... RobJ1981 01:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Card sets?

message: Does this really need to be on Marvel vs DC?  I can understand some of it being there... but wouldn't a "see also" section be easier?  It seems like clutter just like the whole card sets section.  RobJ1981 05:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the removal of this section - it might be worth creating a "List of DC and Marvel crossovers" article. The intercompany crossovers article is a long one and this would be of a more usable size. (Emperor 00:57, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Other DC and Marvel crossovers

message: We are certainly allowed to cover the events that occured in the series.  The only thing we can't do is tell it in the exact same format as the books were in.  (Copyright violation.)  The version you created is very clear and concise, but doesn't include any of the storyline other than a basic introduction into the concept behind it.  We need to include all major events in the storyline from beginning to end.  This obviously includes the results of the battles between popular comic characters.  If you feel that the article is too fawning or fanboyish, feel free to fix it up, but please don't remove the basic content of the article in the process.  (Unless, of course, the content is innaccurate in some way.) Thanks! Sperril 13:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to add: I'm seriously considering removing the "other crossovers" section.  This article is about a specific crossover.  Any other notable crossovers should have their own articles.  There is already an Intercompany crossover article that serves as a good list.  It seems redundant and off-topic here. Sperril 14:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

text: There's no "supposed" to about any of this. Providing a blow by blow account of a story is best left to a fan site, and 99% of the time smacks of POV, which it does here. The gist is fine. There is also no need to provide a huge list of all the crossovers - there is a link that sends the reader to the appropriate page. Again, it smacks of fan devotion and is in practical terms sloppy. This is certainly the case here as the passage is convuluted and poorly written.

replies: text: I think the entry needs a longer plot summary than the one given (and the three paragraphs  doesn't seem excessive) - just removing it all doesn't seem the way forward. Tag i as being overly long and/or trim it down a bit. As I've said above the crossovers section should go. (Emperor 01:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: First, since we are all in agreement the the crossover section needs to go, I've removed it.  I'll reproduce it below in case someone wants to add it to the main Intercompany crossover article.  I have, however, restored the original plot summary and the results of the matches.  I think the casual reader who has never read the actual books will still find the older 3 paragraphs much more informative than the new ones.  Compared to most other popular fiction, (Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.) I don't think the original version of the article was too fanboyish at all. Sperril 07:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Telling the story 

message: I've removed a big section on other crossovers because I don't think it belongs in this article.  The removed material is pasted below as a reference in case anyone wanted to add it to the Intercompany crossover article. Sperril 07:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: The other Crossover material that was removed

message: There are some serious problems with this article.  The plot synopsis is completely wrong, and there is no mention of the related comics, such as the Amalgam comics.  I'm planning to fix this in the very near future (as soon as I can reread the series), but if anyone can get to it before me, please do.  --Unknownwarrior33 (talk) 20:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says the loser of the overall DC v Marvel contest would cease to exist. Since both universes apparently still exist, was it declared a draw? Or was some other resolution found? ---lethe talk [ +] 15:48, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who won? 

message: "Two versions of this paperback exist with one edition having DC winning three of the five fan voted battles and another version of the trade paperback with Marvel winning three of the fan voted battles. In both editions only Superboy and Lobo lose their respective bouts."
I would like to see a source for this, since the articlke itself only states the existence of ONE paperback. Which is the other, and where is the source that legitimate this claim?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.24.169.75 (talk) 11:20, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two Versions? 

message: Hi all, it turns out we have a separate article for a set of trading cards that were released to promote this series. I'm not sure sources exist to expand that article much beyond its current scope. Should we merge that article here? Ajpolino (talk) 01:24, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that a merge is preferable to the standalone article as it is. My only concern is that the source article has absolutely no sourcing.  Joyous! | Talk 23:03, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
