Flash is WAY faster than Quicksilver, Batman, could beat the crap out of Daredevil w/o a superpower, Superman could crush Thor. Don't get me wrong, Superpowers are cool, but everyone likes to see the character really open up his bag of tricks on a bad guy. DC's got more tricks.
Also, i like the aspect of relationships between heroes in DC. The Flash comic isn't just about the Flash, it's about hima nd all the speedsters he is involved with, which is a lot. Batman has about 5 really strong characters in his "Family." I don't really care for the Superman family, but they are making Superboy more interesting, even though his interaction with Supes feels forced. Oh, Krypto is extremely ******ed too. (grumblings) stupid.... super.... dog.
On whole, I think that DC does a better job defining who their characters are (except Aquaman) than Marvel. If you read one issue, you expect the character to be largely the same 20 issues down the line because they define who the character is.
