Walt Disney's (DIS) purchase of Marvel Entertainment (MVL) for $4 billion in cash and stock, announced on Aug. 31, clearly gives Disney another strong brand. But just as important, it gives it a brand to sell to teen boys, which has remained a lingering weakness for the company that sells tons of Hannah Montana clothes to preteen girls and Mickey and Minnie toys to younger children.

Gotham City is DC, not Marvel.
I wouldn't mind Marvel stuff being in Disney, since I go to Disney.. but.. it's all in Universal Studios right now, so how is THAT going to work?
Disney bought ESPN and just kept letting ESPN do their thing.. so.. I don't know.. like I said.. I gotta wait and see what happens with it. I probably wont know how I feel until a year or two later to see what changes, if any, happen.
Also, what's that do with the Movies? Spider-Man and Iron Man are licenced to other studios.. Does Marvel keep it's own movie studio that it has, or does it just go to Disney? Or is Marvel going to be a sub-set of Diseny like Pixar? Man, there's too much "stuff" with this deal.

Well, I'm going to take a wait and see attitude. I agree, but with a definite lean towards marvel fans getting screwed. |
