OK so every one knows the trinity consists of Superman Wonder Woman and Batman, these three are the best of the best, the main component of the JLA and are the most iconic comic book characters in the world.
So why with the exception of Batman aren't they that popular? I mean when Superman and Wonder Woman began they where massive they where genre defining, now not so much. What is it about these characters that readers are put off by? Its not just the comic book readers ether, Batman as has had some criticality acclaimed movies ( Schumacher not included) and a ton of animated TV shows but the only real time you see Supes and WW was on the JLA related shows and superman hasn't had a good movie since the original Christopher Reeve effort where Wonder Woman hasn't had one at all, with the push back of her TV show and the movie stuck in limbo we are not likely to see one any time soon.
Why has Batman's popularity been consistent since he began? Is it just poor writing and poor directing that Supes and WW aren't on top of there game like they once where? Or are the powers that be too scared to take a stab at doing something big with these characters to make them stand out? what do you guys think?
