In spite of having some trouble in their most recent installment, Sony's Spider-Man franchise remains Hollywood's most valuable superhero property, according to Wall Street analysts.

24/7 Wall Street has broken down publicly available box office information to provide relative newcomers to the superhero film landscape with a Cliff's Notes version of the finances behind Hollywood's biggest cash cow.

Unsurprisingly, when you're looking at all-time box office grosses, the top three entries on the list are all characters who have had more than a dozen's years worth of movies already. Spider-Man takes the #1 spot with $3.96 billion and a franchise that's been going in one form or another since 2002; Batman comes in second, going since 1989 without significant interruption, and X-Men third with a franchise that started in 2000 and is the longest continually-running superhero world without a reboot.

Beyond those top three, though, are a bunch of frachises which are clustered tightly together and, with a new Avengers movie in theaters now which hasn't been accounted for at all in their math, the order of those rankings are already starting to shift anyway.

Some will also argue that ranking The Avengers at #5 in order to provide individual rankings for the solo character films that comprise the team of Avengers is questionable math, although it's difficult to argue against it, since the Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk franchises were already underway and, to varying extents, successful before Marvel's The Avengers was even officially announced.
