Batman or Superman: Who's Better, & Why?

[mythociate]

I got this picture from StacyBee (in case you can't see it, it's Batman & Superman facing each other, Batman handing him a piece of paper & saying, "I made a list of reasons I'm better than you," Superman looking at the paper & replying, "It just says, 'I'm Batman'")

Brought up the question. In my opinion ... it's like comparing apples & oranges. Superman's not even a man! He's an alien life-form that disguises itself as a man!

So Batman--being human--gets my vote.

I agree! Till this day, those old cartoons are still impressive and fun to watch.

I have to side with Batman though. He's got to be one of the most epic superheroes of all time. Superman is mostly a one-dimensional character who's to over-powered, but Batman tends to be more fleshed-out. Batman: The Animated Series was chok-full of amazing stuff. Plus, the incarnations of him are all great. Everything from the campy Adam West show to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Superman tends to be the same in every incarnation (I'm the good guy! Gotta stop the bad guy! I gotta save the damsel in distress! Haha I won!") besides the comics.

I like 'em both.I don't know if I can put one above the other.They're sort of the SuperHero Odd Couple.Supe as the all star boy scout,and Bats as the driven dark knight.

I will have to go with both superheroes, too. Both Superman and Batman have provided entertainment in the form of comic books, tv shows and lackluster movies for all age levels.

I like Batman more than Superman. Really can't say that I have watched too much Superman.

Superman, I am not a real big fan of either but for some reason every time the Superman movie is on with Christopher Reeves, I always end up watching it.

But the half-hour BATMAN shows: 100% CORNY! :-P

Well, Superman DOES have that rumor (in SMALLVILLE and some newer stuff) that his father sent him out to 'conquer' etc.
