Everyone has options, which is good, it'll be boring if we all thought the same!
I suppose it's what you're exposed to when you're a young'un.
Batman was still airing on a regular basis during the 80s while Superman was still a big hit at the pictures. Towards the end of the 80s Batman had been revived on the big screen and the film largely regarded as reinventing/resurrcting the superhero/comic-book genre. I remember going watch Superman IV (a horrible film) with my parents at Jesmond Cinema as well as Batman with my uncle at the Cannon on Westgate Road/Waterloo Street.
Although animated versions of Spiderman etc. aired on television, I wasn't into them. There were funnier cartoons which I preferred to watch at the time. I rarely bought comics, except from the Beano, but on the rare occasions I did, it was usually a Batman comic or something else from the DC universe.
I guess I was just more familiar with DC stuff.
