To each his own. I agree that it's more for beginners, but I've played a few other deck building games (Ascension, Dominion, and Mage Knight) and none of them really stuck.I'm actually glad that the game isn't thematic. Had it been, I feel like it would have just been something like Smash Up or Sentinels of the Multiverse. And those are good games and all, but there isn't any creativity or uniqueness there. I enjoy playing as Superman who thinks he is Batman (focusing on equipment instead of super powers) or playing Super Strength with the Flash; I know that it makes no sense, but it's not like the game is canon.
Maybe I like beginner themed games or maybe I'm an idiot, but I had a bad experience with the few times I played Legendary. My group of friends had similar issues and the game just ended up being a waste of money. Whereas the DC DBG has been a huge hit. Ascension was big for awhile, so maybe the simplicity of one form of currency was the reason we all stuck to the DC DBG or maybe we are all just idiots. But we're certainly fine and happy with it.
