Batman and Spider-Man consistently rank as the top-selling titles for DC and Marvel, respectively. They significantly outperform other characters in their universes. Batman often accounts for over 25% of DC's overall comic sales, while Spider-Man frequently represents a similar proportion of Marvel's sales. Their enduring popularity, strong brand recognition, and consistent media exposure (films, TV shows, video games) contribute to their consistently high sales figures. Other popular characters like Superman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, and the X-Men sell well, but typically fall significantly behind their flagship heroes.
