dhampire1 05/03/24 11:25:02 PM #13:	Superman was popular, but for movies, toys, merch, even comic books they sell really poorly and have been getting worse for 20 years now. its so bad s small game/comic store by my house stopped ordering new Superman titles because they dont sell, but he orders the 10 or more Batman titles each month.

Even back issues never sell for him at most stores. He just lost all his interest I guess It's the problem with Superman, any time he loses it's basically a "But how?" moment. When characters like Batman lose, it's a reminder that behind everything they do they're still just a random guy at the end of the day(albeit an incredibly rich borderline superhuman one). Superman's problem is that it's really hard to fix decades of him being essentially the undefeatable invincible bastion of what a super hero "should be," while the opinion on that has changed pretty hard over the years. He works better as a conflicted villain or side character these days. <cite>R_Jackal posted [p:980229458] in Do you thi...

Gobstoppers12 05/04/24 12:14:52 AM #18:	Spider-Man is the top seller, last I checked. Kids fucking love Spider-Man. Batman has also done better than Superman in character popularity and merch sales. Superman is probably the most iconic superhero, as a lot of other designs are based directly off of him, but he's not the most popular. It's like how everybody knows Goku, but One Piece has far outsold Dragon Ball. --- (He/Him) I write Naruto Fanfiction.

The problem of course being that introspection doesnt sell super-hero media. Honestly, would love for that concept to be visited again. But yes, it's all about the spectacle and punching the bad guys hard enough that they turn in to paste. Also side characters dying for dramatic effect, the more beloved the better. <cite>R_Jackal posted [p:980244980] in Do you thi...
