That means that the role of every one of those DC heroes was slowly redefined it was very organic, they started to represent deities and they all formed a balance, the mythologystarted to be really important, while marvel was always more pop and in contact with the real world, Up until new52 DC was more focused on creating a cohesive mythology instead of a cohesive world. DC expanded by buying other worlds, fawcett and charlton really were included. The big seven are really different from the avengers, in DC if Batman or superman kills, that universe is doomed to die, the meta shit is really important.
That's why Marvel is usually better when it comes to action driven arcs, while most of the best shit DC has relates to the universe itself, from animal man, to sandman, to the fourth world, to the batepic to the great darkness saga.
When it comes to small titles they are the same shit. Specially now that writters like johns are so popular, Marvel makes pop action movies, and DC tries to build a story.
