Q: Comic book heroes super popular here - why?

Transformers, Iron Man, Batman, Spiderman, is it because this is all that gets past censors or is it they just like them for the escapism?

Because they are followers of everything popular 5 years prior. Lensless frames, top 40 music, clothing, apple products, hairstyles etc. Comic books received a surge in popularity around the time Iron Man, Transformers and The Dark Knight came out. Posers in the west have already moved on to the next fad.

xinyuren:

umm... the next fad?  Ironman 3 just came out with Superman, Spiderman 2, Avengers 2,  X-Men franchise and many more already on the docket.

 

What exactly is the next fad?

I used to watch those when I was a kid.  All my friends did too.  I still read a comic book here and there.  Last time I checked, they are still popular in Hollywood. Why is this even a question?  They are popular most everywhere.  Why not China too?

DaqingDevil:

Agreed. I still love watching them as do all my friends back home.
