Guys are certainly out-tweeting girls on every front once we take a look at the gender breakdown.

Captain the united states is the most important hit with the ladies, whereas Batman v Superman has the most guys tweeting about it share-wise.

It’s no longer that girls aren’t tweeting about their favourite superhero films – there were just under 100,000 feminine authors counted – it’s just that we found 177,000 male authors getting concerned within the dialog general, and they dominate dialogue on each film.
