THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
There's some kind of sample selection bias when you consider that Harley ranks only 20th place.
Disappointed but not surprised that Superman lost out to Batman. Surprised and disappointed that Wonder Woman lost out to Hal and Barry. Surprised but pleased that Martian Manhunter came up higher than "Shazam," which has to be another selection bias kind of thing, but I'm still happy about it.
Curious that Ted Kord did so well when Jaime didn't even make the top 50, even though he's by far got more push than Ted does. Score one for Ditko I guess. Then again, Question lost out to Rorschach, so... yeah.

Real happy my boy Damian was 23. Just read the early work by Grant Morrison and I never thought this character would be has loved as he is now. Real happy other characters besides the Superman and Batman family are on the list like Mr. Miracle and Ted Kord. Both are great characters with great stories that deserve it. One thing that surprised me was how high Babs was on the list in comparison to the other Robin's besides Dick. I wonder if that has to do with her returning to the Batgirl role or her past as Oracle.

I'd argue all three of those characters have been presented more dynamically than Cyborg has in comics, especially in the last few years. In relation to the other Titans, Nightwing has the long-standing character legacy going for him, Donna seems to attract a particularly rabid group of fans, and Raven, Gar, and Kori all have bigger personalities than Cyborg does. He's a great character within a team setting, against those other personalities, but the efforts to make him a standalone character have pretty much only resulted in demonstrating that he's kinda boring without anyone to play off of.

Vixen is not pleased.
Black Panther - Champion of Bast

It seems Blue Devil is missing.

Im surprised that Tim Drake is still that high on this list, his Appreciation thread has far less posts the ones of the other ex-Robins.
Pulls: Batman, Detective Comics, SiKtC, Catwoman, Nightwing, Titans, Godzilla, Wonder Woman, Batman & Robin, Brave and the Bold, No/One, Kill your Darlings, and Deviant.
My runs: Batman #230-, and Detective #420-
