Are DC Comics characters-Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, etc.-popular in Japan?

I saw a display in Wizard Magazine that featured a Dirty Pair/Superman x-over once.
Batman done manga-style would be interesting.
Are comics based on the animated Teen Titans considered manga?

there hasn't been one yet. you might consider teen titans to be a manga about dc characters but in comic format. dc does own a manga printing group called cmx mangas.
edit: i guess mavericker already made the teen titan reference. but teens titans was based on japanese manga styling.

like i said goku comes to earth on a pod from planet vegeta which got blown up with superhuman powers. Superman comes from kryton to earth also on a pod which also blew up.

The Dirty Pair/Superman x-over doesn't count?

I've seen a manga based on Spawn, even though that's not DC.

That's rich, you quoted yourself? DBZ doesn't really copy superman at all, that's just one coincidence, there's just way too many differences between DBZ and superman to say that one is a copy/rip off of the other. Besides Goku is supposed to be based off of Sun Wukong not superman. Unless you can link a source that says Toriyama was influenced by Superman comics.
