This isn’t really an upset: the movie obviously improved his profile by increasing the number of people who had heard of him.
As I said before, Nightcrawler-Iron Fist being close was the biggest shock of this round (although Thing-Barry Allen is a close second, no matter how it goes.)

With each new image, I appreciated more and more the decision to show the losers (generally) rather than the winners. It ensures variety in what could otherwise be an ever-increasing gallery of “Batman Triumphant!” covers. It’s a like a curtain call – everyone gets a bow, even those who bow out earlier.

“This isn’t really an upset: the movie obviously improved his profile by increasing the number of people who had heard of him.”
Not on this particular forum though.

I’m just hoping Kitty Pryde can overcome Superman, have her winning the whole show. I can see her overcoming Superman, she definitely can take out Iron Man and Nightwing in popularity.
Just not sure if she can take out Batman, hoping for an upset.
