The full narration of the video.
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman all come from one company: DC. DC started out printing comic books. Movies came much, much later. In 1935, it put out its very first comic.
In 1937, it launched a title called Detective Comics. In English: Detective Comics. Shorten it, and you get DC. In 1938, Superman made his first appearance. That issue cost ten cents. In January 2026, one copy of that same issue sold for fifteen million dollars.
In 1939, Batman showed up in Detective Comics. In 1941, Wonder Woman arrived. Also in 1939, another company put out its first comic. It later took a new name: Marvel. In 1960, DC put seven heroes on one team. It was called the Justice League.
Marvel saw how well it sold. In 1963, it launched the Avengers. Both were after the same readers. They have been rivals ever since. In 1976, they teamed up for the first time: Superman and Spider-Man shared one comic.
Later, both went into movies. In 2009, Disney bought Marvel. DC, meanwhile, is part of the Warner Bros. family. Next time you see Superman on the big screen, you'll know: he flew out of a ten-cent comic book.
DC is a company
that prints comic books.
Superman, Batman
and Wonder Woman
all belong to it.
The movies came much later. It started out printing thin comic books, one at a time.
In plain words: DC isn't a city. It's short for "Detective Comics".
The two fight over the same readers, so for decades they have competed over whose heroes are more loved.

A box of bricks with no instructions: the whole world is blocks you dig and stack, generated as you walk from a number called a seed. Survival, creative, redstone computers, and why it's the best-selling game ever.
TED isn't a person: it stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. How a money-losing conference became a place where ideas spread, why every talk is 18 minutes at most, TEDx, and the most-watched talk.
