Chart of the day: Wonder Woman takes top spot as Australian kids' favourite superhero

Updated

Batman and Wonder Woman might make a good team in Justice League, but when they're pitted against each other it's the caped crusader who's found wanting — at least among Australian children.

In a Roy Morgan poll of young Australians, Wonder Woman overtook Batman to be named favourite superhero for 2018.

Based on the survey of 6- to 13-year-olds, Roy Morgan says 368,000 kids would choose Wonder Woman, up from 176,000 two years ago.

Will the release of a Captain Marvel movie in the new year see another female superhero enter the favourites list?
