Picking a favorite superhero is tough. But as of today thanks to good, not-so-old-fashioned Google Trends analytics, we know one thing for certain: Batman is the most popular superhero in the world – on YouTube at least.

Logging more than 3 billion views of more than 71,000 hours of video, the Dark Knight is almost a billion views ahead of the next most popular hero—Thor—based on data released today by YouTube. Coming up close behind Thor is Superman, with 1.7 billion views and counting, and close behind the Man of Steel is Iron Man, the Avengers, and Wolverine. (Google’s analysis only looked at the specific name of each character, so nicknames like Man of Steel and Dark Knight weren’t counted in the totals.)

“If YouTube popularity can determine who’ll win the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie, your views and uploads put Batman as the clear winner,” the video-sharing site wrote on the YouTube Trends blog today. “Based on keyword searches, Batman is the most popular of all superheroes on YouTube.”

All told, the top 10 superheroes on YouTube have amassed more than 10 billion views and some 234,000 hours of video, and even though Batman may “the one man who beat” Superman in overall searches since YouTube launched in 2005, his status has fallen a bit since 2008—overcome by searches for Thor, Iron Man, and the rest of the Avengers.

Some of this data seems fairly obvious–most of the search spikes each hero’s timeline correlate to the release of films about that character or group of characters (in the case of the Avengers)—but there are a few interesting and unexpected tidbits. For example, Superman, despite being consistently popular (lots of Smallville fans out there?) and coming in third place, never really sees a huge bump in interest. There was a small jump in June when Man of Steel was released, but nothing like the leap Iron Man saw a month earlier around the release of Iron Man 3.

It’s also surprising that Spider-Man, who has had a string of successful films in the last few years—all with his name in the title—actually comes in at No. 7, with 340 million views, and Captain America, who had his own film and is an Avenger, is behind him. It’s also interesting that after those two not-so-super heroes and the Justice League, which is getting a film in 2017, sits Deadpool—the off-kilter anti-hero with no movie (yet) but a loyal following. The analytics don’t reveal why the searches were done (obviously) but it’s possible folks were looking for tidbits from the Marvel character’s videogame or simply trying figure out who this “Deadpool” is that everyone’s talking about. Either way, he’s got a lot of catching up to do before he ever reaches Batman status.
