    OK so I was just asked the question: Batman or Superman? (like who is better pretty much. plain and simple) I replied, "That's apples to oranges, Batman isn't technically a superhero, in terms of powers and super-isms... Superman would annihilate Batman... bottom line. I know Batman is a hero for sure, he puts his life in danger to save people, thwart evil, save the planet, yadda yadda. He's also more than just an average hero, because of his gadgets that enable him to in a sense "fly" and do other things normal, unequipped heroes can't do. All these things I agree to fully, but the bottom line is... Batman is not a superhero. :(

    There's no real way to further back this statement up... the guy doesn't have super powers... he has "Super gadgets... he has Alfred, a genius senior citizen who equips Batman with materials that, combined with his vast knowledge of martial arts (one thing he does have going for him above other "heroes") enable him to save people, thwart evil and other "hero" things... usually more effectively than run-of-the-mill cops or vigilantes.
    Superman, a prime example of a superhero (ironic...), on the other hand, has super powers that enable him to accomplish "hero" tasks with amazing efficiency and super-human skills/strength. His severe weakness around kryptonite is a huge indicator of his super hero status, an abnormal weakness (cmon it's from another planet... that's not normal) is usually a signal that something has hapepned to you that doesn't happen to average Earth-born humans. And in Superman's case... it did, and he has super powers! Thus he is a superhero and would 1. annihilate non-superheroes like Batman; and 2. show up most superheroes actually... thinking about it Superman really is a pretty well-rounded superhero...

    Well there it is, sorry to bring this tragic reality upon us all... but I had to get it out, discuss:

    I've been saying this for years. Batman is a pussy.

    Your absolutely correct. Yet there are some people out there who think Batman could take Superman in a fight. Thats fucking Bologne!

    now see, what you did there is use bologne, which happens to rhyme with cologne haha... thanks for the support man (unlike mr. fanboy under you :D)
    ...but bologna and bologna/cologne hybrids stay out of this.


    thanks blades, knew youd back me up!

    I don't know you guys.

    You forget that batman is a scientist. A wealthy and resourceful scientist.

    Much like Lex Luthor, who has kicked Superman's ass plenty of times. All he would need is some kryptonite and a little bit of innovation and he could easily womp superman.

    I don't like superman anymore than Batman. He's just really cheap -- you know? Other than the secret identity thing and kryptonite, there is no weakness of any kind.



    Bloodsport II gave Superman a run for his money! and he's nowhere as close as inventive and quick-witted as Batman.

    Batman is shittin all over superman. batman doesnt need super powers, except for his mind. id give it equel. and he is a super hero. and he would shit all over superman if he made a kryptonite gun. superman is a P-U-S-S-Y:D

    superman lacks thrill

    aside from being stuck in a clear panel or being bitched out by a green rock he's pretty much walking up to the evil doers and bitch slapping 'em around like a bully on a playground

    least batman has to put his ass on the line in pretty much every save he's made

    Batman really could easily make a gun, or gas gun much like a VERY powerful high FPS airsoft gun if you will, and have the little pellets as KRYPTONITE.. do you understand that a child could take out superman with such a simple device?
     
  11. #11 Ars moriendi, Jan 12, 2007
    lol you're just agreeing with me dude but ok

    you could make your own mini rail gun (in all seriousness) with a couple disposible cameras a few bits of lexan or plexiglass some bolts and a pair of rails

    Unlikely that a child or a grown man for that matter could take out superman with a device such as that. For one thing, if Superman wasn't an idiot (This is assuming a lot by the way) he could simply fly around. No way in hell they could shoot him at the speed he travels at. And then, from a safe distance away, he could shoot them with his eyes, freeze them with his breath, throw a plane on them, etc.. etc... Point is, if Superman were smart no one would be able to get close enough to him to use the kryptonite. Now, if the Starship Enterprise were to have kryptonite torpedos... They would probably be able to kill Superman. Those bloody things travel at Warp speed!

    But really, if people wanted to get rid of superman they would just need to build a real big ship and fly it between earth and the moon and have it unfurl sails or something and like Mr. Burns did on the Simpsons, they could block out the sun... Eventually, if Superman didn't get rid of that obstacle, he wouldn't be much of a threat.

    However... Superman would kill Batman in five seconds flat if the purpose of their engagement was to kill one another.

    But alas, it doesn't really matter. I could kill Superman and Batman and the Beyonder and everyone else in the DC and Marvel Universe with a... Uh... Wad of snotty kleenex, they are afterall just characters in a story and whatever ya write down is generally the truth for those characters.

    I wish I had a genius senior citizen to do my bidding *sigh* oh well, one day.

    superman what a prep.

    batman would blare metallica while he whooped his ass.
     
  17. #17 DirtyApe, Jan 13, 2007
    Yeah seriously. Spiderman is a woman in disquise. I'll give it to him, he can do some serious flips and cartwheels but he couldnt fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

    Haha nice.


    I think we can all agree that The Punisher (Frank Castle) is absolutely unstoppable.

    I mean if Bloodsport could take Superman, It would be a walk in the park for The Punisher. But then again he'd have no reason to.
     
  19. #19 POTSTYLZ, Jan 13, 2007

    You are completly right.


    But lets not Ghost Ryder

    All of the Xmen, I mean come on
     
  20. #20 Rasta_Man, Jan 13, 2007
    Oh my god, another Ghost Rider fan!

    He kicks so much ass! I mean a stuntman who sold his soul to the devil? He rides around on a motor cycle with a flaming skull!

    You cannot get any cooler than that.
