"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Their other lists are kind of interesting, though their #1 villains and heroes for DCU and Marvel are entirely what you'd expect. Still, it's an interesting exercise in current consensus and canon-making.

Geoff Johns various runs have had a bigger impact than I'd have expected. Sinestro at #3 DCU baddie? I'd never have guessed it.

The Teen Hero and Modern Hero (last 20 years, I think) lists were a bit more interesting.

Teppy will be pleased to hear that Blue Beetle got much love for teen hero, and Tim Drake came out as #1 teen hero (beating out Spider-Man and Dick Grayson) and #2 on the Modern Hero list.

Ple will be happy to know that Jack Knight got high ratings, and P-Cow will be pleased with Yorick's placement. Both in the top five of modern heroes.

Woo!

and Tim Drake came out as #1 teen hero (beating out Spider-Man and Dick Grayson) and #2 on the Modern Hero list.

Because HE'S AWESOME.

That is the consensus. Even folks that consider Dick Grayson to be cooler, and a more favored hero think Tim is the greatest of Robins.

Tim is the greatest of Robins.

He figured out who Batman was. I mean -- that alone does it for me.

The BatFam has so many intriguing interrelated dynamics in it.

Tim's relationship to Dick is more interesting than any relationship Superman has with anybody in his immediate vicinity.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Batman and Joker, Wolverine and Magneto?

P-Cow will be pleased with Yorick's placement. Both in the top five of modern heroes.

Hurrah! I'm also pleased about Daredevil's great runs. Which are great.

That's putting it mildly.

Tim's relationship to Dick is more interesting

I'm trying hard to not post "HOTT Robin-on-Robin action WOOOOO!!!"

And as we can see, I failed.

Correct on DCU; wrong on both in Marvel.

Spider-Man and Dr. Doom.

I like this comment about Dr. Doom:

"Hard to mess with a guy who once took over the Earth and gave it back because he was bored."
