Batman

Eversince Batman debuted its first appearance back in the 1940s, he has been an icon for young boys as one of the best superheroes. How did Batman become this popular, though? Well, it's a combination of both comic book readers and movie watchers where Batman slowly became another superhero icon. At the same time, it made its way towards every little boy's dream of being this fantastic crime-fighting hero fantasy.

Superhero

Wait a minuteā€¦ aren't Spiderman and Batman superheroes? Yes, but we'd be ignoring the vast pool of superhero characters. Many superheroes come to a close tie between many Marvel and DC superheroes. These include Thor, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Flash, and many characters. It just so happens that Spiderman and Batman happened to be a lot more popular than the rest of the comic superhero characters.

Witch

Ah, yes. The one costume that started it all; classic and iconic. Some may even treat the witch as Halloween's mascot, including her flying broom and black cat. Perhaps what made them so famous for Halloween was the classic 1993 film "Hocus Pocus," featuring a family of witches causing mishaps in their town. In addition, the most recent 2020 film, "The Witches," is also popularizing witches even more now.
