Superman vs Hulk would not be an interesting fight. Maybe it will be "easily outsmarted by a normal human" Superman who shows up, in which case, they just take turns punching each other until somebody more interesting intercedes. If its "I remember that I have other powers besides punching" Superman, then its a trivial fight in Supermans favor.

Supes Vs Hulk= if the fight has to continue until someone is down, then Hulk wins.. He can't be killed and hurting him is hard, plus he is similar to doomsday who has killed Supes... Plus Hulk is strongest one there is!

Grab him and fly into space...then it's just a matter of sending him into the sun/deep space. Hulk can't propel himself without something to push off of - even if he could survive the cold/lack of air. He doesn't even have to grab him - hit him while he's mid-jump.

The two sides are not currently talking at this very moment, sources said.

Disney was recently in talks to buy 21st Century Fox, with the exception of its news and live-sports divisions, according to reporting by CNBC. The negotiations are not currently active (they may resume), but the simple fact that two of the country’s largest entertainment conglomerates are discussing a partial merger is a significant development for the TV and film industry, where legacy companies are pushing back against the inexorable rise of Netflix’s global business.

Beyond its storied animated films and amusement parks, Disney’s empire includes the Marvel franchise, Star Wars, Pixar, ESPN, the Disney Channel, and ABC. The rumored deal would include 21st Century Fox’s cable networks (like FX), its film and TV studio (which owns the rights to the X-Men franchise), and Sky, an enormous British pay-TV company. To borrow a metaphor from the Marvel universe, the deal would take Disney from Captain America to the Hulk, potentially transforming an historic American icon into a behemoth with problematic competitor-smashing tendencies.

Disney is planning to launch several streaming services in the next two years, as it pulls its content from Netflix to build a direct competitor. Such a Disneyflix product with the library described above would be exhaustive, satisfying both young families and movie buffs.

It might also be illegal.

Combining the Marvel and X-Men universes? Good luck lining up those timelines.

That doesn't make a lot of business sense considering their ratings. News has become entertainment and Fox is better at it than CNN.

Spoiler:

Shareholders have approved the Disney-Fox merger.

Boom goes the dynamite. Maybe now we can get a Galactus that doesn't look like a giant space fart

If that's how you saw Galactus, that says more about you than about Galactus.

Disney's $71 billion deal to buy most of 21st Century Fox will take effect on Wednesday, March 20, the companies said Tuesday morning.

It will be an epochal event in the entertainment business — the merging of two movie studios and the end of Fox as we all knew it.

Staffers at the 20th Century Fox studio are bracing for layoffs and other big changes.

Disney (DIS) is picking up the studio, a controlling stake in Hulu, a suite of entertainment channels like FX and Nat Geo, and other assets.

The remaining parts of 21st Century Fox (FOX) will be spun off into a new company simply known as Fox. It will include the Fox broadcast network, Fox News and Fox Sports.
