In movies the Dark Knight series was more popular than either of the Spiderman film series, In Video games Batman is bigger with the Arkham Series. In TV Batman is bigger with Gotham, There's been far more animated movies with Batman in too.

Batman is bigger, more popular, more famous and has had a bigger cultural impact then Spiderman.

Worldwide, Spiderman has grossed 4 billion in 5 movies, Batman has grossed 4.5 billion in.... 8.

In merchandise, Spiderman outsell Batman by a factor of 3 (!!). In TV, should we include the Spiderman animated series?

I guess so, it depends what people mean by Popularity. I'll stick by the statement that Batman is more famous than Spiderman.
