10 or even 5 years ago I might have said the DCAU. But by sheer longevity, consistency, and ability to reach a broader audience, I gotta give it to the MCU. DCAU depending on you you ask, has "Batman and Harley Quinn" as part of it's canon.. It lived long enough to see itself become the villain..

I mean see mcu is iconic and legend and earned its continuation anyway. but dceu still had a good start and I still equally think that it has good films and should be continued despite what critics say

I adore the dcau but the mcu had a plan vs the dcau which lucked into success and connecting it all.

DCAU, because it actually has versatility, it's shows are able to all feel different and don't all have the same tone. The MCU gets slightly more or less jokey but even than with the same type of humor, and characters talking the same way(even with different groups of characters!)

Also different episodes of a single DCAU show often feel more different than the MCU movies do.

dcau cause there are no contradictions like they are in the mcu sometimes like shield looking like its a new organisation in iron man but later find out has been around longer, also the thanos in avengers not matching the thanos in IW. And fury actually knowing about aliens since the 90s.

The DCAU pioneered the shared-universe concept and (imo) did it best! Personally, the MCU isn't my preferred "flavor" for the Marvel universe. It's technically impressive, but it's characters don't resonate with me a fraction as much as DCAU's. The DCAU also benefits from the shere hours of content.

I suppose I don’t “need” more of this world, but I’m interested to see more of how this new Matrix works.

I don’t like that The Matrix got any sequels.

Mister Wachowski is a no talent man, just like his brother.

Loved it but it wasn’t a set-up more than a coda where Trinity and Neo get what they deserve as a parallel to Lana’s life. A creator with a new outlook reflecting on material and a legacy made when they were almost literally a different person. Lana‘s now free to change The Matrix, as in the movie.

Honestly, The Matrix should’ve just been one movie, only cuz it was only one movie that worked, and that’s the first one. It was lightning in a bottle that caught waves and can’t be replicated by the multiple sequels. Plus Keanu’s doing so much better in his newer movies, especially in John Wick.

Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.

The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.

I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.

Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.
