2017 their success at the box office
[Music]
number 10 Superman I’ll take that as a
yes
though henrique apples Man of Steel may
not inspire to quite the degree that
Warner Brothers wish he did Superman as
a figure remains one of the most iconic
heroes on planet earth both in the
universe created by DC for the big
screen and in the real world we inhabit
he persists as a beacon of hope the sort
of hero the kids can look up to diehard
fans may not be wild about the DC PU but
the fact of the matter is Superman’s
place in Justice League has helped him
reach a whole new generation and hey
it’s not every year you come back from
the dead so that’s gotta count for
something right you said you’ve come no
that’s hope you’re not too late number
nine the Hulk
sadly due to the complicated issues
relating to the rights of the character
Bruce Banner and his big green smashing
machine of an alter ego may never get
the solo film they deserve but Thor
Ragnarok is one hell of a consolation
prize Hulk’s name might not have been in
the title but he got a cinematic outing
the likes of which most characters would
die for during his time on the planet
Skaar poke clearly came into his own
developing a personality only hinted
that in past MCU films and started
delivering winning one-liners with a
little help from Tycho Itt Hulk is
bigger than ever and fans are loving it
yes same Hulk like fire door like water
kind of both like fire butthole like
raging fire so I like smoldering fire
number 8
hardly quit who would have thought that
a character introduced in an animated
series could go on to achieve such great
success created by Bruce Timm and Paul
Dini Harley Quinn quickly outgrew
Joker’s shadow and these days she’s a
bona fide star in 2017 after coming to
the attention of the masses in 2016 via
her big screen debut in Suicide Squad
Harley Quinn turned 25 in honor of her
quarter century of existence and her
incredible popularity DC major central
to their annual Batman day add to that
her starring role in the Batman and
Harley Quinn animated film multiple
ongoing comics and her own animated
series in the works and Harley Quinn is
killing it I love this guy number 7
venom the suit you got to take it off oh
you’d like that wouldn’t you
ah this villain turned vigilante
antihero has long been a fan favorite of
spider-man fans the world over though
Topher Grace’s take on the character in
spider-man 3 somewhat heard his
mainstream reputation it takes more than
that to keep this Simba it down a decade
after that misstep though venom is
looming large big as ever and poised to
be even bigger 2017 sizes solo film get
greenlit with none other than the
excellent Tom Hardy and the starring
role
considering venom number 150 was one of
the top 50 best selling comics of the
year with both venom verse number one
and edge of venom verse number one not
far behind it’s safe to say that there
will be an audience
number six Batman
[Music]
in the grand scheme of things the Caped
Crusader and the Man of Steel remain
arguably two of the biggest heroes in
the world but in the year 2017 they took
a bit of a backseat to a few others of
course this is still Batman we’re
talking about here and even in a year
full of ascending superhero stars he
maintains his position as one of the
heaviest hitters with two
direct-to-video animated films including
Batman versus two-face which marked the
final appearance of the late Adam West
reprising his role as well as a central
role in Justice League and the
phenomenal Lego Batman movie and the
success of his own comic and Dark
Knight’s medal the Caped Crusader still
kicked but I’m afraid my friendship with
mr. Wayne doesn’t extend to charity
functions
goodnight mr. dent number 5 the flash my
name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest
man alive
The Scarlet speedster is one of those
characters that has been around for
decades and that everyone knows but you
would call him their favorite at least
until now thanks to green arrow who
paved the way for him on the CW Barry
Allen as portrayed by Grant Gustin has
managed to make the flash connect with
the public like never before
Four Seasons Inn and the arrow first
version of the flash is still going
strong but this year Allen also made his
big screen debut not just as a member of
the Justice League but thanks to Ezra
Miller’s performance as the hilarious
quirky and relatable comic relief in
2017 the flash sprinted to the front of
the superhero class Oh awesome as the
bad thing oh that’s your oh sorry
it’s your signal that means we have to
go now yeah it’s so cool number four
spider-man
let’s be honest much like Batman and
Superman the webslinger never goes out
of style after decades of comic book
success and beloved animated series the
early 2000 saw spider-man conquering the
big screen even when Sony gave the
character a subpar reboot Peter Parker
continued to stay relevant and hugely
popular with a new animated show and an
all-around pervasive pop-culture
presence he’s one of those characters
you didn’t think could possibly get
bigger and then Spiderman homecoming
happened with a fresh-faced Peter Parker
in the form of Tom Holland and a place
in the MCU 2017 saw spider-man swing to
even greater heights so why is everyone
okay this is your chance Peter kisser
thank you number three Thor so much has
happened since I last saw you
like yesterday so that’s still pretty
fresh
before the MCU no one would have
believed that a hammer wielding
superhero with long golden locks and a
pension for Shakespearean speech could
make it on the big screen and to be fair
Thor and Thor the dark world did prove
to be two of the more modest successes
for Marvel and Disney at the box office
but in 2017 it’s safe to say that Thor
has finally arrived and it’s all thanks
to director Tyco ITT and Ragnarok the
mythological north end of days a hit
with critics and a box office juggernaut
the third Thor film has catapulted Chris
Hemsworth Scott of Thunder way up the
Marvel hierarchy what were you the god
of again
number two Wolverine yes usually you
don’t want to do this 2017 has been one
hell of a year for the mutant with
adamantium claws on the big screen his
longtime actor Hugh Jackman delivered a
perfect final performance before hanging
up his claws
Logan an r-rated swan song for the x-man
not only route audiences and critics but
borrowed from some of the very best
Wolverine comic book arcs while we said
goodbye to a month big screen we got to
say welcome back in the comics which saw
him return from the dead after he died
in 2014
suffice it to say as far as Marvel comic
book characters are concerned 2017
belonged to Wolverine before we unveil
our topic here are a few honorable
mentions I would be honored yes in the
name of research I think that could be
pretty pretty repulsive
Arthur curry Aquaman
so named number one Wonder Woman
though the DC EU has seen far more
hardships than success it certainly got
one thing right Diana Prince for years
despite being a household name
Wonder Woman had been excluded from the
big screen and has been relegated to
third place in DC Comics Trinity not
anymore with the help of director patty
Jenkins she kicked ass in her titular
film then she followed up within the
same year with another appearance in
Justice League where she continued to
stand out even in a crowded film nothing
very interesting in 2017 Wonder Woman
claimed the crown as the most successful
superhero and quite frankly it was long
overdue you should be very proud do you
