What character is DC's 3rd greatest superhero creation?

[comicalgems]

Wonder Woman

 

 

Votes for Linda Carter don't count

 

We are talking about the comic book version here

 

 

 

 

 

Can someone explain why there have been no Wonder Woman movies?

 

And yet we have already had movies about Catwoman and Elektra?

 

 

 

Can you quickly name a Wonder Woman Arch Enemy? Most non-DC fans can't.

Many of the people who went to see the Spiderman movies could not name a Spiderman villian either, so I don't think that matters.

 

Wonder Woman has more name recognition with the general public than ANY character other than Superman, Batman, and maybe Spiderman.

 

She has more name recognition with non-comic people than Wolverine, or Daredevil, or Punisher, or Hulk, or FF, or Iron Man, or any of the other characters than got movies.

 

What happened to the concept of "sex sells"?

 

A Wonder Woman movie could easily do $200 million box office. Guys will go see it to see a hot chick in tight shorts, and women will go see it for the whole "girl power" thing.

 

The movie execs are fools for not doing a Wonder Woman movie 10 years ago.

Wonder Woman

Hands down.

 

GL = number four

 

Yeah but which one?

 

Aren't there about 1000 GL's running around in the DC universe?

 

 

 

 

Hal Jordan is the one true Green Lantern.

Old geezers who were kids in 1941 might disagree

 

 

 

[Bronty]

Flash is def #3

[john72tex]

Ambush Bug!! or maybe Gnort...

booster gold, biatch!

GL seems unusually hyped right now, but if we look at the overall picture, Flash exceeds GL I'd say quite easily.

 

Superman

Batman

WW

Flash

GL

[Norrin_Radd]

Wonder Woman.

 

The better question is who is DC's fourth greatest superhero creation? We could argue that for months.

 

Pfffft.

 

Bat-Mite.

 

Duh.

was there a lower point in Batman history than this panel

 

talk about "jumping the shark" ......... I nominate this panel as that moment in time

 

 

[Norrin_Radd]

Bat-mite was fun character from a more innocent age. I used to feel as you do, but I've learned to enjoy every era of Batman. From the dark to the silly.

I'd put ranking this way:

 

 

Superman/Batman

Wonder Woman

Flash/Green Lantern

Spectre/Hawkman/Atom

Martian Manhunter

Green Arrow

Zatana/Black Canary

Metal Men/Teen Titans/Doom Patrol

Aquaman

Aquaman

 

 

No love for THE ATOM?

 

I always thought DEADMAN was cool, probably because Adams drew all the early issues except the first one

 

And SANDMAN was pretty big in the golden age I think

 

PHANTOM STRANGER and CREEPER were kinda cool

if we go by that theory, then Power Girls does 400 million at box office. double the fun.

Phantom Stranger and GA Sandman rank higher than Green Arrow on my list!

Aquaman is too low.

 

People know him from JLA.

If we are going to allow in teams, how about the Challengers of the Unknown? The first twelve issues (counting Showcase appearances) by Kirby were good in their own right and, as Overstreet notes, they were first Silver Age team and the first new characters in the Silver Age. They also had an influence on Lee and Kirby's formulating the Fantastic Four. Of course, they weren't actually super heroes ....

SWAMP THING was great ........... but not really a superhero

 

The first 10 issues with Wrightson art are amazing books, not just the art, the stories were great too

 

And the Alan Moore run was spectacular
