@MsLipGloss:
So, he's unnatural (again, didn't earn his keep).
He is soft (Some bad chicks need a smack. Seriously, I know a few)
Robin just tags along and annoys batman. He doesn't NEED Robin but he's also not greedy and can share the spotlight, unlike Superman. -
@.twist.: He's *other worldly* . . . that's why they call them *Super* Heroes (as opposed to a vigilante who imposes his own sense of justice)!; real heroes don't hit women and Superman doesn't need some yes man/ass kisser to follow him around for an ego boost.
-
@MsLipGloss: lol. So, I just did a little googling and one of superman's enemies is Faora Hu-Ul, a man hater. Who kills men. That Betch gets her ass kicked!
-
@.twist.: lol!
-
<< He never kills. He's an alien. He is unnaturally powerful which makes it unexciting when he, obviously, will beat a bad guy. There is ONE thing that can hurt him, a crazy space rock. I just find his character very .... meh and predictable. >>
@.twist.: Superman's arch enemy on Earth is Lex Luthor... the smartest human in the DC universe! Battling Lex is no easy feat, especially when Superman is bound by his code of ethics.
Also, Supes' rogue gallery includes intergalatic gods like Darkseid, living computers like Brainiac, unkillable monsters like Doomsday and fellow Kryptonian General Zod. He really struggles against these opponents... Batman (as much as I love him, and I do) wouldn't have a chance against most of Superman's enemies.
OMG reading the other comments, I am realizing that most people are commenting based on the TV cartoons and the movies. I am going off of the comics.

@mrbee: TOTALLY agree!
Really for us they're on completely different playing fields so we love them both. I'll have to ask DH who he loves more...
-
@mrbee: @.twist.:
SUPERMAN:
Superman believes in law and order. He doesn't compromise his morals to catch the bad guy. Batman will do break all the rules to catch a criminal. He's lost sight of what it means to be a superhero.
Superman: well-adjusted orphan.
Batman: self-destructive orphan with serious abandonment issues.Superman is happily married to a superhot reporter. Batman has meaningless relationships with women he doesn't care about (and who only want his money) because he's afraid to show his true feelings.
Superman works for a living like the rest of us. Batman is just some spoiled rich kid who lives off a trust fund his daddy left him.
-
@MsLipGloss: Bruce Wayne has a genius level intellect, and is one of the most brilliant minds in the DC universe. He invented a lot of the tech behind Wayne Enterprises' recent success. He is hardly a spoiled rich kid... he has three jobs for goodness sake (running Wayne Enterprises, protecting Gotham from crime, and running the Justice League).
Batman has had meaningful relationships with Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Ra's al Ghul's daughter Talia (with whom he has a child) and Catwoman.
Also, Superman didn't know he was an orphan until after he had grown up, and was raised by two loving parents. He has since gotten to know his father through the Fortress of Solitude, and even time-traveled back to Krypton once to work with Jor-El. Batman saw his parents murdered in front of him, and was raised by his butler. I don't think it's fair to compare their adjustment level!!
From what I've seen in the trailers, the new Superman is going to be super angsty. Get ready for Emo Supes, coming to a theater near you!
-
@mrbee: which team are you on?
-
@MsLipGloss: I love them both! I think the world needs both a relentless crimefighter like Batman, and a symbol of hope like Superman.
I prefer Superman though, because he believes in his core in the power of truth and justice...
-
@MsLipGloss: Batman doesn't claim to be a superhero. That's a label people have given him. He's always known that he is a vigilante and he does so because the law does not serve proper justice which he learned when the killer of his parents was not properly tried. Not to mention all the other crap that general (captain? whatever he's called, I can't think right now I'm super hungry!) gordon tells him!
@mrbee: Exactly, those super beings don't belong on earth and if Superman never came here then a LOT of destruction would have been avoided. So... superman causes a lot of SHIT!
-
@.twist.: but he's a man of *steel* . . . that's got to appeal to you on some level! (I mean, we're talking about an exhibitionist who changes in phone booths . . . that's keeping America--and Canada!--beautiful!)
-
@MsLipGloss: haha I totally prefer dark men who are a little kinky and ninja's totally do it for me.
I imagine sex with superman to be a bit boring and missionary or possibly... lethal for a human? lol!)
Sex with batman would be hot and kinky. -
Batman! Bruce Wayne is way cooler than Clark Kent.
@mrbee: wow didn't know that Batman was in a relationship Ra's al Ghul's daughter and had a kid! They need to do a movie on that.
-
<< Exactly, those super beings don't belong on earth and if Superman never came here then a LOT of destruction would have been avoided. So... superman causes a lot of SHIT!>>
@.twist.: I reject your premise! Half of the Justice League is non human! Superman is from Krypton, Martian Manhunter is from Mars, Aquaman is Atlantean and Wonder Woman was made from a lump of clay (or is a descendent of Greek gods)... and in the cartoons, Hawkgirl is from Thanagar.
It's pretty consistent that over half of the Justice League is non human... pretty amazing that they would give so much of themselves to defend a planet dominated by humans. They are preventing destruction, not causing it!
-
@.twist.: that's a chance I am willing to take!
-
DH says Superman!!!
Because..... while Batman did overcome his own internal struggle he relies on darkness & fear to defeat his enemies & implements his own skewed idea of justice. Superman on the other hand has humbled himself to *serve* a people that he could easily eradicate & make serve him... that humility wins it for DH!
-
I say Batman, but I'm making a choice base on their outfit.
-
@mrbee: You know what, I think all of the justice league should go back to their home planets! ;P
-
@.twist.: Haha not gonna respond to that... cuz I gotta go use my own superpower of washing the dishes!
-
@mrbee: haha No, I really can't even back that up because then I'd have to send Thor home too, and damn do I ever want to keep him around Earth...
-
@.twist.: You're messing with me, right? Thor isn't in the DC Comics' Justice League... he's in the Marvel Comics' Avengers (with Iron Man, the Hulk, etc.).
Back to dishes.
-
@mrbee: Well yes, but if I banish one set of alien superhero's, don't I have to banish them all? Or do I strictly need to stick with DC here?
-
@.twist.: I think we need to add the Archie Comics to the mix... maybe also Looney Tunes and Animaniacs too?
-
I'm going to have to go with Batman here since that is my DH's pick whenever we buy presents for my nephews. His reasoning is that Batman is the most awesome since he doesn't have any super powers, he's just a regular man fighting crime with cool gadgets.
-
@mrbee: hahaha OH I SEE. Are you saying marvel is terrible compared to DC? In which case I generally agree, but have you SEEN Thor recently?? nom. That's all I have to say about that.
FWIW, I much prefer Vertigo, DC's bigger, badder, brother of comics to DC or Marvel.
-
ALSO, @MRBEE: How could you forget that Batman always carries a piece of Kryptonite on him at all times? HMMMMM??? (or at least readily available in an extreme circumstance!)
-
@.twist.: Ok done with the dishes.
I didn't realize Batman's kryptonite stash was up for discussion? I wasn't part of the naked superhero battle convo...
-
@mrbee: Are you saying his kryptonite stash is in his pants? LOL jk, I just thought of it.
but no, I figure if batman can clearly and easily kill superman he wins. I mean, does superman have batman's weakness stashed away for dire circumstances? I think not.
-
@.twist.: Come on now, Batman and Superman have faced off at least 9 times in the comics, and Batman has never won... even when he's prepared extensively with lots of kryptonite.
Batman's weakness is that he's a human. So yah, Superman does have his weakness stashed away... in the form of his heat vision, super strength, super speed, flight, etc... he could use any of those to instantly kill Bruce.
Ok time to scrub the stove...
-
@mrbee: ... I'm grasping at straws here. I will forever love batman more than superman.
-
Batman is way cooler , moreifun and sexier than Superman. But, the new Superman Henry Caville males me swoon.
-
@mrbee: This just came up in my newsfeed on FB, have you seen it? "5 Reasons Batman Would Be a Better Dad than Superman"
http://www.howtobeadad.com/2013/17164/5-reasons-batman-dad-superman
-
@mrsjazz: haha thanks for sharing!! Even if the link is wrong haha!!!
-
@mrsjazz: Lol. I think I'm going to share that even though I greatly disagree too...
-
@mrbee: @runsyellowlites: I don't think Superman is a Douche but I'm with Batman. The first link in the comment section is about how Batman would suck as a dad because it's been proven that Bruce Wayne suffers from PTSD!
-
@mrsjazz: Lol. I think Bruce Wayne as an individual separate from Batman wasn't a very nice guy & he didn't know how to not be Batman very well so like Superman he'd his "hero-ness" would call him away often (even if not physically).. And I think Superman would actually do a much better job of teaching/growing a child into a woman/man from his own raising & humble character (something Batman has neither of).
I mean "Batman" might be a better dad but I think Superman AND/or Clark Kent would be better than Bruce Wayne ANY day & these are the men that would actually be the dad.... Well idk I could see Batman staying in his suit as home too. lol
-
I think Batman is sexier. HOWEVER, I would totally date/marry Clark Kent. So...it's a toss up.
