While Marvel Studios has done an incredible job building their own cinematic universe, and DC Comics is in the midst of doing the same thing at Warner Bros., it's pretty much a guarantee that we'll never see the comic book giants go head-to-head on the big screen in the same movie, even though they've done so in the comic books.
