Wouldn't that mean The Shadow deserves a slot over Batman then?

James Bond would be there as well.

At that point you might as well include Amos and Andy — it was the first sitcom, the first soap opera, the first show with a nationwide audience, and “a comic strip for radio” that kicked off an avalanche of actual comic strip adaptations.

Ask anyone alive today who or what the character the Shadow is, and 98% will have no clue who you’re talking about. And that’s being generous with percentages.

you're cheating here. if shadow had endured in the popular conscience for decades it'd be a different story, his recognition abruptly died off when superman and batman replaced him.

Kamen Rider is the popular conscious of anyone who knows anything about Japan.

Devilman has more influence in Japanese media than Kamen Rider does. Including on Kamen Rider itself, even though the first Kamen Rider was a year before Devilman.

Riddler you fiend. Truly this is your most diabolical riddle yet.
>"Wonder Woman belongs on the Mount Rushmore of Superheroes"
Mount Rushmore was a monument of South Dakota, and a 'wonder' in its own right. But we're looking for a 'wonder' made by a 'woman'...
>"It's about cultural and genre influence not raw current year popularity"
Not something relevant today, but throughout time.
>Wouldn't that mean The Shadow deserves a slot over Batman then?
A wonder that has cast a SHADOW over Gotham then. Superior to Batman himself...

The Statue of Justice in Gotham harbor.

Devilman's influence was more widespread in terms of thematic relevance and imagery. It's basically "your favourite mangaka's favourite manga" for the most influential modern manga/anime.

People are so desperate to pretend WW is important or good but no one has liked her since like 1950.
Anonymous No.151270752 [Report] >>151272578
Shadow, Zorro, Shazam, hulk are more influential

>>151267281
Berserk is more influential to be honest.

Is Wonder Woman even all that influential? I feel like people talk a lot about how important she is, but it feels more like lip service or just hyping her up. And her actual impact on comics/culture is kinda nominal, outside of a brief period where she had a show way back in the day.
But I'm a retard, and I'm not all that knowledgeable.
