Aren't Spiderman comics already outselling Superman comics? I wouldn't argue that Spiderman is more popular among comic book readers than Superman. But that isn't what this thread is about, its about who is more famous.

No, actually, right now Superman is the #1 selling comic.(it may have somethign to do with Jim Lee peniciling though.)

I think Jim Lee's involvement is a safe bet.

As popular goes then spiderman is obviously more popular, but as well known, then all the top heros are just as well known. Of course everytime a movie about them comes out there going to be more popular at that point in time.I doubt any comic movie will overtake spiderman records though, atleast not for a long while. In the comic realm though, as pointed out above ,superman is defaintly the top selling, but this doesnt happen often, however they are trying to give superman a make over and make him more vulnerable. this is a good thing, the comcis are not only visualy awsome but the stories are starting to become intersting again

Yea, Brian Azzarello is doing a good job with the story, and Jim Lee is successfully making Superman a darker character.

For people who never got into Superman because they thought he was "too powerful" this is a good storyarc to pick up.

Supes started it all and no one can take that way. Batman came a year later or so. So evey hero that follow either took the shape of one or the other, or both combine.

I say Superman was thee comic guy back in the day. started it all.

but Spiderman exploded, his popularity sky rocketed.

IMO Superman is known all over the world. every body knows who he is.

Spiderman isnt, but where he is known chances are more people are going to say Spiderman is there favorite

Yeah I could not have said it better myself,back in supes day,supes was the man.But spidey came on the scene and exploded and is more popular now than he was when he first came out.Where comics wise,superman hasnt fared that well in the last decade or so.

World wide Supes is more popular than Spidey.

Clark Kent I think is a household name. Peter Parker is close but not everybody knows who he is.

Then you have the logo of Superman.

You can't ignore the Spider-Man movies because a hell of a lot of people only really know Superman from his Television and film appearances...... because of those (more than the comics IMO) Superman is known worldwide.... Spider-Man was always well known.... but because he's moved into the film medium now as well he's far better known than he was prior to the first Tobey Maguire film

hell..... a lot of people who saw the movie didn't know that organic webbing was a new thing

These days the Justice League cartoon shows (and to a lesser extent, Superman's own cartoon show) are introducing him to a new generation of kids ..... which will keep him well known for another 40 years

Spider-Man's cartoons weren't great (every single person he met was able to break/cut his webs) ... but they still got his face/likeness into the minds of kids

I'd go with Supes. If you walked along the street and polled random people, both kids and adults, more would know Superman than Spider-Man. And maybe that'll change eventually because of the movies and because more kids might know Spidey now, but a much larger percentage of the population still "knows" who Superman is than Spider-Man.

I'd say it's about equal these days.... i doubt any who knows who Superman is doesn't know Spider-Man .... and vice versa

Unfortunately Iron Man hasn't had the same level of exposure..... hopefully his film wont suck too much
