It’s pretty universally accepted that DC’s biggest characters are a Trinity – Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman – but, in a Q&A with CBR, Dan Didio (DC Executive Editor) expanded on what he saw as DC’s first rank:
I don’t think he’s [Aquaman's] in the same tier as Green Lantern and Flash. In fact, I’d probably rank them higher than the “B-list” ranking you gave them. As you see the numbers Green Lantern and Flash are drawing, it’s clear that they’re in the A-list now in the DC Universe. We have five primary characters – Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman - and we try to treat them like our A-list. The fact that we’re able to strengthen, stabilize and actually build franchises around Flash and Green Lantern I think makes the DCU overall a lot stronger.
It’s interesting that this “A-list” of characters that can sustain franchises includes a character that only has a single book, Wonder Woman. She’s a fantastic character, but you can’t help feeling that her star has never really been high as it should be.
