Superheroes battle like whiny PC users
This Marvel/DC parody of the “Get a Mac” ads is pretty spot on. Marvel does seem to have a lot more on its plate than DC, and is certainly more proactive in its approach to new projects. But Superman could have done better here. He could have mentioned that the Hulk and Daredevil movies, both based on Marvel properties, were complete turds, while From Hell and V for Vendetta were awesome DC/Vertigo properties that made it to the big screen (although I suppose Marvel could paraphrase Alan Moore’s angry rantings in response). Oh, and there’s a reason why people love Batman so much. He might be weird, especially around Robin, but Superman is a dick.

The first in the series is great. If you're a fanboy (or are married to one, as am I), it's a great in-joke.
2, 3, and 4, however, were so obviously created by a Marvel advertising/marketing team, only another advertising/marketing geek (as am I) would bother to listen to the whole thing.
