I guess you are probably going to say about the same thing. Nowadays I pretty much watch movies based off comic books as opposed to the comic books themselves. Comics aren't the money that they used to be. The superhero merchandise and superhero movies are generally speaking, the real money. I just liked the characters better before I retired from comic book buying, back when there were fewer spinoffs. I don't have any idea how many Robins and Batgirls are in Batman right now, and I don't exactly want to know either.Ben L.

That's like wondering why Wolverine and not Kitty Pryde became the breakout star of the X-Men franchise.<br /><br />(As someone else pointed out, that's like wondering who reads furry comics.)<br /><br />Mary Sues are ultimately appealing to a few people. Even if Kitty wasn't intended to be a Mary Sue, she's not really as popular as others make it out to be. The same goes for Tim Drake and one wonders why more people own dogs than comics. Ad.
