Holy eBay, Batman! The Dark Knight leads superheroes in recent sales!
… Duh.
While cooking up our latest index-widget value meal, no one was surprised to find Batman mopping the floor with his crime-fighting allies. In not even four full weeks, summer blockbuster The Dark Knight has grossed $440 million domestically, and looks destined to give Titanic a run for highest-earner ever. Over the past 30 days, that’s led to 140,000-plus eBay sells for Gotham’s finest — incredibly, more than Superman and Spider-man combined.
With Terapeak’s new superheroes index, you can compare the total listings, total sales, and average selling price of eBay’s top-10-selling superheroes, from Iron Man to Spawn to Captain America. Running near-last in all categories is Green Lantern, but with a Warner Bros. film in the can for 2010, he’s one to keep an eye on. Finally, we apologize to fans of X-Men’s Wolverine, who was sadly omitted; he’s a top-seller, trust us, but the data’s just too skewed by the maize and blue of Michigan supporters, those weasels. (We mean that technically, weasels… wolverines… Mustelidae family…)
