It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's more Superman pops?

I'm LOVING all the recent 80th Anniversary Batman pops, but I'm curious as to why Superman didn't get even close to the same treatment as his Dark Knight counterpart. I would love to see some more Superman pops!

i wouldn't be against more Clark. but i think the difference is that unlike Batman, Supes hasn't really changed too much over the decades. Though there are obvious plenty of options they could go with.

Is it Supes' time yet?!

That's a great point. He doesn't have as many options as Batman, though there are still some great ones for Supes that would make great pops.

There is a Superboy and a few options for Clark - one comic and one Smallville. ALL look amazing.

Seems like Batman is just preferred over Superman in the pop world. But yeah we can use some more Superman variants. lol

For sure! He also has many cooler variations and is just seems more marketable, but Supes can’t be THAT far behind in terms of being able to push some pops.

I think/hope they go hard on Superman like they did on Batman, also hope to see more villains pop up.

I’ve always wondered why the number of pops for these two were at least somewhat more equal. Superman is just as classic as Bats imo

Totally agree, will wait and see what else Pops up this year but thinking when summer Con season hits we'll see some good Superman stuff.

Hell yah! Superman is such a better character than Batman by far! ;-)

Agreed. That's definitely one I've been waiting for.

Postby **FunkoFern** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:42 pm

I know right? I really want more Superman pops. I'm on a mission to collect them all and I'm only missing a select few.

Postby **renardchua** » Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:42 pm

So far in 2020, we have more new Harley Pops than Supes Pops!

Batman > Superman

I’d like to see Superman Red and Superman Blue from the 1998 comics. Also Black suit and long hair Superman.

Yeah there isn’t as drastic of a change for supes but as my funatics comrades have stated this is a void that could easily be filled

The red and blue would be a cool 2 pack. I'd love to see a random LE Superman with a mustache, basically the unedited Superman in Justice League. Lol wanted it ever since I saw the pic of him in his suit with the stache.

It would be nice to see an Action Comics #1 get a POP! moment release. Perfect for a Superman POP!

Ha! That would be hilarious. I'd buy it. I also want the Snyder cut of the film to be released!! :-"

You bring up a fair point...one that I hadn't really thought about tbh.

I hope supes gets some Funko love in the near future.

Right? So many Bats and Wonderwomans, but not nearly enough Supes. It'd be a welcome addition to my collection if there were more for sure!

Just a guess here, but probably because Superman doesn't sell as well as Batman.

That is is most likely the reason for less Superman than Batman. Supes has been around just a bit longer, but merchandise wise Batman has more "geeked out" fans than Supes. Just a simple observation/humble opinion I have after observing collectors for a very long time. But I love them both. Peace

Well its because Batman > Superman. Sorry, but it's math.

Well Batman was always more relatable with him being a regular person who's just super rich as opposed to Superman who has essentially limitless powers to a point. So ya basic math does agree with the above lol

, but it doesn't make it right.

NO! Keep the Batman pops coming, we don't have nearly enough lol

jk jk

Postby **Valde** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 5:30 pm

Unfortunately Superman doesn’t sell enough. Let’s hope Micheal B Jordan or whoever can revitalize him.

Postby **grumpysf23** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 5:30 pm

Chrome Super Man pops I'm sure are on the way.

We already have some of those. But more is an option.
