There's a lot more to a pinball than just the theme. Xmen is (pre)selling fast due to the designer and the features of the game not just because it's Xmen.

Nope. DC sux azz.

Batman is it.

Superman has 1 bad guy, Lex Luthor. Not enough material for a good pin.

Borg has historically been forced to rush out his pins and has never had 18 months to make one game like this. IM and Tron are both really great games, and he does have a few fans now. Lots of comments like "Borg is on fire" in the xmen thread.

I'm with you there. For the most part DC is weak sause compaired to Marvel characters. I'm also with you on Batman being the 1 big standout.

DC is far superior to Marvel IMO - trouble is the company/charcters have been mis-managed since 1987.

You have seen the recent Superman and Green Lantern movies ? Gag me

Batman is it. The movies and video games rock !

Not a good title IMO. I would have no interest in it. I agree with the folks that say Batman is all that is worth anything in the DC line.

DC needs to get its act together and reboot all the movie franchises so they can ultimately do a Justice League film. Given how much money Marvel/Disney has made with the Avengers, I'm shocked DC hasn't been more proactive.

Nope. DC sux azz.

Wrong wrong wrong. Read Kingdom Come and still share that point of view. Outside of Alex Ross treaments see below - Justice league comics used to be hilarious and a blast. Also, I don't see too many Xmen tatoos on pro athletes.

Theme of a pin does help sell. It simply does but not all on it's own.

+1000 couldn't agree more.

Batman is my favorite super hero, that being said I would buy two x-men pins before I thought about buying a justice league pin. They just are not very cool.

I really pray X-MEN is the last superhero pin for a loooooong time!
Don't get me wrong, I'm gettin one, but it will be the only superhero game in my lineup and only because X-MEN is badass. All these other guys in tights belong on kids underwear, not pins IMO.
I'll have zero interest in an avengers pin (LCD or not) and any non-Batman DC property is just going to be disappointing to me. Let's move on from the comic book themes already.

If Avengers is next I'm screwed. I'll have IM, SM, and X-MEN, I think I'd HAVE to buy Avengers just to complete the Marvel Collection. That will be a fun conversation with the wife.

Hey,

I'm not saying this to be rude, but the first thing that popped into my head was "What's the Justice League?". I guess that's my stance on whether or not it would outsell X-Men...

I think you're right. If it hasn't been on TV or movies lately, little will know about that great franchise as it's been mismanaged. That being said, the justice league animated shows are terrific, smallville treament solid, it's just been so mismanaged non comic people flock to marvel due to the awesome movie treatments.

A pin with Superman, Batman, Wonderwomen, Green Lantern and the Flash. It would outsell X-men.

Justice who? Not into the League of extraordinary People.

Jersey Jack needs to commission Alex Ross and go toe to toe with Stern. Marvel (Stern) vs DC (JJP) Universe. We all win.

We need a" Woman of Comics" pin. Lots of super cool chicks, good and bad ; )

Not a bad idea.

The HULK pinball machine would smash all comic theme pins for me!

Lets face it he was the star of the Avengers movie....i could totally see a mean kick ass all green cabinet....PLEASE STERN MAKE THIS PIN

Exactly. Marvel's villians outside of Spiderman's and those apprearing in the movies are barley known. Whiplash? Seriously?

Again, DC has been run by morons since Crisis on Infinite Earths. There has been a few bright spots (Starman, JSA) but outside of the Nolan Batman films, their film output is pathetic but the comic history and diversity is second to none, not even Marvel. But Marvel's (new) owners know how to capitalize on films, and they do it well.
