11 Movies That Sold The Most Merchandise

10. Batman

Batman remains to be DC’s number one licensed character. With $494 million in merchandise sales, the Caped Crusader still holds a steady market share for boys dreaming of becoming superheroes. It has eight movies in the franchise over the span of 23 years. Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 back in May 1939, marking a 76-year history for Gotham’s hero. Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy brought Batman front and center once again and further increased the demand for Batman merchandise. With Batman V Superman hitting theaters on March 25, 2016, the franchise is expected to see a spike in merchandise revenue.
