The Son of Krypton vs The Bat of Gotham!! This is it folks.. The epic beatdown between the two colossal comic superheroes.. So.. Who is better? Let's settle this once and for all with the tale of the tape shall we?.. 1: Where they live Superman: Metropolis - Metropolis somehow always seems to be like LA or Brisbane or Cape Town.. Sunny with traffic jams and occasional big spectacle disasters. Showdowns happen mostly in daytime and are epic and intergalactic in nature with lots of collateral damage. Oh there is always a plane that is in need of a rescue in the skies above.. Batman: Gotham - Gotham is pretty much south side of Chicago.. At night.. Showdowns happen in rainy dark alleys and are intimate and personal in nature.. Winner: Gotham.. Showdowns also happen in posh black tie events or in dingy nightclubs.. 2: Love Interest Superman: Lois Lane.. A nerdy journalist who is also a great humanist to balance Superman's alien powers and affairs. Batman: Selina Kyle.. Spandex suit and heels, check.. Carries a whip, check.. Will steal your possessions along with your heart, check Winner: Batman meow 3: SuperPowers Superman: Umm.. Can fly, Icy Breath, Laser Eyes, Ridiculous strength.. Yea.. DC pretty much threw all the cool super powers into this dude.. Batman: Is being moody count as a superpower? Winner: Superman 4: Mode of Transportation Superman: He pretty much flies around everywhere.. Batman: Batmobile.. He sometimes "flies" but it's more gliding down from a tall building . (I will ignore that contraption from the dark knight rises) Winner: Batman.. "It's the car right?.. Chicks love the car" 5: Alternate Personality Superman: A nerdy newspaper reporter Batman: Billionaire playboy Winner: Superman.. Oh who am I kidding!? Here's my rant and rave.. He goes into a phonebooth, takes his glasses off, puts on some mousse in his hair and voila, we're supposed to not figure out who he is!?.. It's batman.. He drives Lambo's in his alternate personality.. 6: Costume Superman: Cool blue bodysuit with red boots and cape.. Doesn't hide behind some mask.. Batman: Tactical Black or dark grey.. Even his mask has a frown.. Winner: The new superman.. This is a close call but Batman gets docked for bat nipples 7: Logo Superman: The alien swirly symbol that kinda looks like S! Batman: It's a bat Winner: Batman.. He gets bonus points for the searchlight that commissioner Gordon uses to beckon him.. 8: Weakness Superman: Some green crystal.. Batman: Selina Kyle Winner: Batman.. I would go nuts too if Halle Berry shows up in a skin tight suit with whips 9: Campy Fun Superman: Ripping his shirt off to expose the superman logo.. The karate pose he holds when he flies.. Icy breath.. Batman: The "Pow", "Zap" bubbles (on live action!), the "Nananana nananana Batman!" Song.. The wall climb Winner: Batman.. The wall climb gets me everytime.. 10: Best Movie Superman: Superman II .. Best superhero movies are when you have badass villains.. General Zod and his two companions are pretty badass in this movie Batman: The Dark Knight .. This may just be the best comic book movie of all time.. Wonderful performances by Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Heath Ledger explore the great theme of "When have you crossed the line?" Winner: Batman.. Or more precisely, the Joker 11: Worst Movie Superman: Superman III .. Richard Pryor as the computer hacker?! Batman: Batman and Robin .. I'm not even gonna start.. Winner: Batman.. I kept expecting Arnold's Mr Freeze to say "I'll be back".. 11: Villains Superman: Lex Luthor, Brainiac, mxyzptlk, Dark Seid, General Zod Batman: Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Bane, Poison Ivy, Mr Freeze, Scarecrow, HarleyQuinn Winner: Arkham Asylum have the best assortment of villains in any comic universe.. They are well developed characters who can become more than a villain just blowing stuff up.. Enjoy the new movie and discuss away!!
I'm not much of a DC fan, but batman having zero superpowers is one of his few redeeming features. (If only being moody was a superpower!)
Hmmmm not sure the new movie can measure up to the animated Dark Knight movies they did a few years back based on Frank Millers books.. Batman was voiced by Robocop, sooooooo yeah, pretty tough to beat that, and I know I say this every time but Bruce is a man, and could kill Clark anytime he wants, even as a 50 year old man... What's Batmans weakness?... Beaver is his Kryptonite, he would rather bleed to death than pass up on some wink wink nudge nudge Example of Batmans superiority: Winner
Superman wouldn't have his powers on his home planet aside from being moody as well doe maybe batman would be super batman on another planet
Batman. All the way. He's always got some "counterweapon". Or green crystals. Nice thread Ashes, why aren't you VK yet?
^The new movie is most certainly not terrible. Green Lantern was terrible. Hulk was terrible. Howard the Duck, and Steel were terrible. DoJ was a 9 of 10. Also Batman. Though Amy Adams...
Mode of transportation you pick batmobile over the ability to fly here there everywhere??...even to outer space?...come on bro not even close Winner : Superman
True. But can you pick up hot chicks with a batmobile or the ability to fly? Plus there aren't that many hot women in outer space.
Hot chicks in outer space.. Sandra Bullock in Gravity Sigourney Weaver in Alien ....and there is Alice Eve
Sandra Bullock is always bae, and so is alice eve... though star trek isn't.. ehhh. Moving on. But not every chick floating in space is Sandra Bullock or alice eve. But..... boobs in space is quite interesting. Sigourney Weaver is waifu btw.
I wanna see the movie, but batman all the freaking way, he's such a badass in so many different ways. Bat mobile over flying anyday!
