    Default Who is #5???

    So, if we accept that the below are the 4 MOST POPULAR DC SUPERHEROES OF ALL TIME, then who is #5?

    1. Batman
    2. Superman
    3. Wonder Woman
    4. Aquaman

    5. ???

    It's gotta be Green Lantern, Hal or John.

    100% a tie between Robin & The Flash

    Before the movie, arguably it was GL. Now I'll definitely agree it's either Robin or Flash.

    Why not just make a thread asking for the top 10 instead of doing a bunch of individual ones?

    In terms of awareness among general audience the rest is probably gonna look somewhat like this:
    5. Flash
    6. Dick Grayson
    7. Green Arrow
    8. Supergirl
    9. Damian, Barbara and Jason
    10. Green Lantern
    Forgot that Lantern wasn't in a list, and put Constantine first.

    Those of you responding Dick or Dick Grayson obviously mean his entire career, as both Robin and Nightwing. But those of you responding Robin, do you mean Dick and all other Robins? Or do you mean just the Robin character as a "brand"?

    I guess I should decide what I want to do for these purposes. What do you all think?

    ^^^Robin/Dick/Nightwing…it’s one big brand (to me).
    He’s THE kid sidekick.
    He's embedded in the consciousnesses as such.
    Everyone knows Robin.
    They know he laid an egg, they know his ‘holy this and holy that’.
    Movies and TV shows for decades have used him (and Batman) to riff on who the main guy in a duo is (I’m the Batman/no way man you’re the Robin).

    I have to disagree that Aquaman is in 4th place.

    Flash has had two television series, was a lead character on JL/JLU and is pretty much beloved, with major comic book moments to his credit (Crisis, Flashpoint, etc).

    I'd say its Batman, Supes, WW, Flash and GL. DC has heavily pushed GL over the last 15 years, so he's gotten a ton of exposure, bad live action movie or not.

    Robin as a brand. The GA likely doesnt know "DIck Grayson" but they know who Robin is.
