if there were 4 characters that most people (comic fan or not) could identify who do you think they are?
DC Comics
Originally known as "National Publications", DC is a publisher of comic books featuring iconic characters and teams such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Justice League of America, and the Teen Titans, and is considered the originator of the American superhero genre. DC, along with rival Marvel Comics, is one of the "big two" American comic book publishers. DC Entertainment is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers and its parent company Warner Media.
Who are the 4 most recognissable DC characters?
Colt Python says:
"Superman Wonder Woman Flash Batman"
i thoght that too and then wondered if people would recognise the joker before the flash?
Colt Python says:
"Rotten gun says:"Colt Python says:I think the Flash and Joker are about neck and neck.""Superman Wonder Woman Flash Batman"i thoght that too and then wondered if people would recognise the joker before the flash?"
yeah thats a tough one cause i know most kids (boys i guess) would know who the flash is... but my mum and older family would all know the joker
T.J. Magnum says:
"superman,wonder woman,batman and the green lanterns"
I think both Joker and Robin are better known that the green lanterns

"T.J. Magnum says:"superman,wonder woman,batman and the green lanterns"oh Green Lantern.....I don't think comic people will know him/it/whatever "
are you serious ?
Andferne says:
"Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman.Robin just because for the most part he goes hand in hand with Batman."
yeah we all know short pants even before reading a comic lol
Hawk says:
"T.J. Magnum says:"Hawk says:yeah not that pop culture""T.J. Magnum says:are you serious ?""superman,wonder woman,batman and the green lanterns"oh Green Lantern.....I don't think comic people will know him/it/whatever "
kinda,now that think about it,and guess robin might be more well recognissable because of batman
T.J. Magnum says:
"Hawk says:"T.J. Magnum says:kinda,now that think about it,and guess robin might be more well recognissable because of batman""Hawk says:yeah not that pop culture""T.J.

aztek_the_lost says:
"Superman, Batman, Robin, Joker(the only ones I knew when I was a small child)"

Agreed.
I wouldn't count Robin not because he isn't his own Character but it's purely by extension. Kinda like Lois is that for Supes. I for one didn't know Nightwing was the original Robin till much later and I am betting I am not alone on that.
Jarnus says:
"Bat-Man, Super-Man, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and MAYBE Etrigan(?)"
NOBODy knows green lantern
Jarnus says:
"crazy spidey says:"Jarnus says:People know Green Lantern.""Bat-Man, Super-Man, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and MAYBE Etrigan(?)"NOBODy knows green lantern"
actually alot of people that "dont know anything about comics" are like who the hell is green lantern?
they dont even know theres more than one
aloe vera says:
"superman, batman, the joker, and robinthose are mainstream comic character names"
agreed

Direct quote from my friend, after seeing my GL shirt:
Stefan: What hero is that?
Me: I'll give you a hint: It starts with Green.
Stefan: The Hulk?
Me: Facepalm
Batman Probably the most exposure to the public, TV, Movies, Cartoon, etc
Robin There with Batman
Superman Same here TV show, movies, cartoons etc
Wonder Woman TV show, and has been around for a long time, since the 40's ? Linda Carter as WW, sweet
Superman (no brainer)
WonderWoman (no brainer)
Batman and Robin (they still come in as a package for some old timers and new)
Flash (the red color and the lightning leaves a mark always!)
I gotta say... Superman and Lois Lane, and Batman and Robin. They have always been paired up in so many different forms of media you can't separate them. I think WonderWoman and the Flash may be more famous, but I don't know if they would be remembered from DC Comics.
