Ok, I'm really not a geek but this is pretty interesting and makes a great debate. well, amongst the geeks that is...
So who is the all time greatest superhero? Is it Superman or Is it Batman? Ok, immediately you're thinking obviously superman, because he has the advantage here. But then again, remember the saying "brains over braun"?
Here are some comments that I found funny...so what happens when the stock market crashes or the batmobile runs out of gas? does batman take the city bus? get over it...batman is a big kid with lots of toys...superman has SUPER powers. that makes him the ultimate SUPER hero.—xxtbfivelxx
Batman could definately beat Superman. Batman is better disguised. Superman..Glasses? Batman is far more intelligent. How is it that Kryptonite is always available and Superman always succumbs to it? His fortress of solitude is always invaded. Once you zap Supermans strength, it's over for him. All Batman has to do is render Superman powerless, which seems to be relativley easy, then destroy him. Without his power, Superman couldn't think his way out of a paper bag.—jaimeblade

batman
he became a hero because he was angry & rich
superman was a lucky son of a bitch alien who were born with abilities.
Superman!
Batman once donned the kryptonite ring and punched Supes in the face, proceeding to break every bone in his hand.
Superman can knock his head into orbit with one punch if he weren't such a boyscout. And by the way, Superman isn't dumb.
Superman in .52 seconds.
superman!
hasnt anyone seen that college humor animation?! it explains all
I say superman, cause when I was growing up i had the superman curl going on.
@ordinary_gir1@xanga - which one is that?

THERES A PT 2 TOO!
Superman ftw.
Batman.
Superman sucks , Batman FTW
Though you should have added more people , like Spiderman , Rorschach , Wolverine ..
Superman, obviously.
Batman. He does all his cool stuff and he's human. Superman's got the advantage b/c he's not human.
Actually if you've followed the comics, shows, movies etc, Superman is just as intelligent as Batman. In addition, there have been several instances where Superman has had to fend for himself while powerless and did just as good a job as Batman would have without his gadgets. Truth be told Superman is a better Superhero than Batman only because Bats is borderline psychotic and willing to do horrible things to get justice. Superman always plays by the rules.
a hero is simply an ordinary person in extraordinary
circumstances, who, despite the odds being stacked against him or her,
typically prevails in the end. hmm sooo.. superman..ordinary?? hmm dont think so...batman FTW
@striemmy@xanga - What are you talking about? Batman do horrible things? Like what?
Batman has detailed files on how to bring down the entire justice league should they cross him.
Even superman.
Batman wins.
CHUCK NORRIS
superman has way better powers. batman has a much better costume. if superman dressed like batman, or batman had superman's powers, however you wanna look at it, that would be the ultimate superhero.
@TheGiantSlayer@xanga - Exactly. Intelligent, cunning, and resourcful. Batman's crime fighting is quick, clean, and efficient. The cops show up, and the badguys are tied up and waiting.
Superman may save the girl chasing her ball across the busy street, or stop the bank robber, but only after causing multi-million dollar collateral damage and endangering every passerby within a 3 mile radius.
Batman .
@youaintjam@xanga - Pushing someone to the point where they'd rather jump in a vat of chemicals (which is pretty much how just about every batman villain was created) than be caught by you. Pretty sick. Hanging people off of roofs by their ankles. General face breaking action. He messes with people pretty seriously on a psychological level.
didn't they already have this fight and batman actually won? but one thing is a problem. batman isn't a superhero. he doesn't have any superpowers, just awesome ninja skills and gadgets.
@Magniloquentia@xanga - he doesn't do that. i'm pretty sure he's too much of a boyscout to hurt and damage unnecessarily. batman is a lot more prone to killing than superman is.
@C_UNIT42@xanga - really? costumes?
@TheGiantSlayer@xanga - very true. but the best laid schemes of mice and men...
@beforedawn@xanga - superman usually has it stacked against him
@x__MYJAdEdLULLAbY@xanga - not really lucky. he's the last of his kind, every kinsman that he would have had is dead. and he probably can't even really enjoy sex, being that he has to control himself whenever he does. unless he hooks up with wonder woman. that would be a crazy baby.
@Peter5ol@xanga - yeah really. what superhero do you know that goes out and saves people in plain clothes? none. at least none that come to mind, which makes them not so super if they're that forgettable.
@Magniloquentia@xanga - how the crap does superman cause multi-million dollar collateral damage saving a girl from getting run over? unless she is running across a street in L.A. and he just smashes up every bentley, mazeratti, and lambo within' an 8 block radius, i'm sure the most damage he caused is someone spilling their coffee slamming on the brakes.
Robin...ha! ha! ha!
PS: What exactly does Robin do except throw hissy fits???
batman, all he needs is kryptonite which is apparently everywhere, and superman is a feeble man unable to even stand.
