Before Gunn's shitty OOC Supergirl movie comes out and makes secondaries think she's le ebin girlfailure, how would you rank the 5 most iconic DC females by their actual popularity?>Wonder Woman>Lois Lane>Harley Quinn>Catwoman>Poison Ivy
bump
>>154000212Popularity?SS movie/Arkham knights harley quinnSupergirlCatwomanRavenStarfire
>>154000212Nice sneeding
>>154000989>Raven>StarfireI considered putting them in but they're popular for the cartoon and pretty much nothing else. The five I listed are at least known to every generation, while the TT girls are only iconic with late millenials and zoomers (which is why they've yet to get a proper theatrical movie not based on the cartoon).
>>154001123Well we are going off of popularity with the majority of humanity.We can take a look at cons and ask people who is the first female dc character they think of and the one they like the most.And it will, in my opinion, by those 5.Maybe batgirl will edge out one of them.
>>154000212>Blaming Gunn>Not Loeb's SuperSkank>Not the borderline villain Green's Nu52>Not the lone survivor origin of King's WoT miniShe's been a mess of a girl for most of her modern history. Ignoring the current run and Rebirth. Tell me I'm wrong.
>>154000212>OOC SupergirlSupergirl has one of the least consistent personalities. That's without taking into account the non-Kara Supergirls.
>>154001517I mean, she wasn't quite as bad in Loeb's stuff
>>154001692No one likes to admit it, but this is true.

>>154003795>Cassandara CainNo one outside of /co/ knows who the fuck that is. If people did, she wouldn't be butchered in BoP.
>>154003795>Popularity>Raven>Starfire>Zatanna>Cassandara Cain>Power GirlPopular as in they're the ones people want to fuck the most?
>>154000212>Captain Marvel is terrible because she’s too perfect>Supergirl is terrible because she’s le ebin girlfailure (?)What do you people want?
>>154000212>Lois LaneI don't think she should be in the #2 spot. I like her, but a solo series would probably flop.>>154004230>What do you people want?Boobs. So, Powergirl I guess.
>>154004230>What do you people want?For characters to at least maintain some of their original characterization in the adaptation instead of being just straight up 100% fanfiction OC.
>>154004230Cap was a cardboard cutout girl power fantasy with a obvious hr lady and lesbian bullet point of a irigin and personality. Its also desperate to prove itself by being the best at nothing anyone wanted. It felt like watching a little girl play superhero and taking out her frustration on not being able to play with the boys on male strawmen. Supergirl is pushed as a kind of a mid skank and is embarrassed of its source material and of the lead character being female.
>>154004066I'm pretty sure I could go to rule34 right now and still see Harley Quinn topping the listIt's the weirdest piece of revisionism that it was the movie that made her popular and not Arkham City.
>>154004323None of the characters you posted would survive unchanged.As a matter if fact, their character changes all of the time.So going with something that aligns wuth the popular idea of the character is far more important.
>>154004385All these characters have at least a baseline of a handful of consistent personality traits. In the last couple of decades, none of them were overhauled the way Gunn is doing with Kara. Except for Catwoman in the shitty 2000s movie, but everyone rightfully dunked on that.
>>154004435Kara doesntNot even WW does.And no, your personal head canon consisting of a few runs 30 years ago doesnt count.Youre right that this was a terrible cast and ecen worse direction to take with her, but the point still stands.
>>154004327>Caplollmao
>>154000212>Arisa >Soranik>Terra What are they up to nowadays?
>>154000212I'm not a woman, so I don't give a fuck about "popularity".
>>154000212Top 4 are probably in that order. I might put Starfire and Raven tied above Ivy or at least close to her. I think people know of Ivy in the same way they know about The Flash, she's there but doesn't really have that many fans compared to Teen Titans so it depends on how you're defining popularity.
>>154005372Top two are replaced by Jessica Cruz. Conner and Palmiotti are the only ones who care about Atlee so she showed up in Harley Quinn once or twice
