I think most die hard Superman fans have a belief otherwise, and I consider myself a die hard Superman fan (I own every single Superman comic book published since 1983, the only character I can stake that claim to, not to mention the 7 Superman tattoos I have, also the only comic book character I can stake that claim to). But the market doesn't support that, at least not recently But again, I go back to my point in that what does Superman's perceived popularity matter to you? We've had 6 live action Superman films, the Superman serials, 4 television shows (5 if you count Supergirl), I couldn't even tell you how many animated shows he's had, and he's been featured in numerous other DC media adaptations. There certainly isn't a lack of Superman compared to other DC properties sans Batman. WB nor DC will ever stop marketing or pushing or developing Superman. He may take a backseat to other DC properties, but he's not going anywhere. So again, why stress about it?
