Is there no end to Spiderman's popularity? The answer is a resounding "no". Spiderman is one of those timeless classic superheroes which appeal to young and old alike, with Spiderman costumes continuing to be top sellers for fancy dress retailers.
As you would expect with every well established character, spiderman costumes are available in a huge range of options.They even cater for fully grown males. Perhaps these are men who are reliving their childhood fantasies of always wanting to be a super hero. Whatever the reason sales continue strongly.
A fourth installment of the big-screen version of the comic book is due to be released in 2011, with the film's producers promising many more Spiderman films to follow. It has been established that Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 are among the top twenty biggest grossing films of all time in the world, so why stop at number four? It obviously makes sense to stick with a winning formula.
Now we come to a new direction for the character, namely the infusion into the music scene with the inclusion of 12 songs from U2. This together with other costs, will make this musical the most expensive in Broadway's history.
Now it even seems that Spiderman can also take the credit for a real-life rescue. A Bangkok fireman dressed in a Spiderman costume rescued an eight-year-old autistic boy who had climbed out of a third-floor classroom window. Efforts by the teachers to coax the child back inside had failed and a chance remark by the boy's mother regarding his passion for Spiderman prompted one fire fighter - a fellow Spiderman fan - to rush back to the fire station where he just happened to keep his Spiderman costume in his locker!
It was reported that when the child saw the fireman in his Spiderman costume, the boy smiled and promptly threw himself in his superhero's arms. Apparently, the fireman keeps his Spiderman costume in his locker to liven up fire drills in schools. Well, that's his excuse anyway!
The Israeli news headlines this year ran a story, that Highway police were called to apprehend a man in a Spiderman costume, who was frightening commuters by throwing ropes at their cars (presumably improvised "web-shooters") and jumping on top of them.
The police arrested our superhero and, while under investigation, told them he had woken up in hospital wearing his Spiderman costume, with no memory of how he came to be dressed in it. Unsurprisingly, psychiatrists were summoned to assess the man's mental health.
