Coming in a close third at 38 percent is Iron Man..

We also asked people to pick their most anticipated new character/fresh interpretation of a familiar role. The late Heath Ledger as The Dark Knight?s Joker came in at 55 percent, followed by Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart in Get Smart (34 percent).

Who has ?em beat when it comes to favorite action movie stars & characters? You guessed it: Harrison Ford and Indy leads the pack. Scroll down for the full results of our survey. And here's more on the new movie.

Possibly a stupid question (if this is not some April Fool's joke)...but what exactly is their polling system? Indy has "82% of the vote", Batman has 42%. Um, what?

Yeah, the same thing caught my eye. 82% of votes totaling 338%, that's, um... impressive.

 

[NileQT87]

it must be a multiple choice selection... meaning 82% want to see indy of those polled.

 

[Rayder]

still doesn't make any sense to me

 

[xVendetta17x]

It only matters that Indy's on top...
Math has no place in the world of Indiana Jones

[xVendetta17x]

This is true, it was posted a day or two ago in the Indy IV thread on Super Hero Hype.
