Batman or Superman

Dwarf lord · 10-09-2004, 06:56 PM

I've come to the conclusion that there are two people in this world. Batman people and Superman people. Lots of the Superman fans think Batman is a psychotic B****** and lots of Batman (and marvel) fans call Superman an overpowered boy scout that gives Batman and bad rap when he comes in to help Batman. I just wanted to know what kind of person you are. So vote and reply. It will be interesting to see what most of this board is.

Dwarf lord · 10-09-2004, 06:58 PM

I was going to say Batman but as of today I had to pick Superman because I have a growing interest for him. But probably in a week I will say Batman again.

DarkKnightJRK · 10-09-2004, 10:45 PM

I like both, but I have to go with Batman.

Bat-Mantis · 10-10-2004, 12:19 AM

I think Batman stories are far better but I like the Superman character more.

The Riddler · 10-10-2004, 12:22 AM

i like hate superman.

go figure.

Union Jack · 10-10-2004, 04:28 AM

definatly superman for me.
batman's great and all but supes is the worlds greatest superhero!!
but then i always like it when bats and supes team up.
i thought the TPB public enemies was brilliant!!

Cobblepot · 10-10-2004, 05:19 AM

I'm a Batman fan.
But if you look more into my persona.
I'm more Supes, I can't hurt a fly and I always wanna help people.
But I'm also the guy who want's to run the show.
So it's like 30% Bats and 70% Supes.

Guyverjay · 10-10-2004, 06:24 AM

Spider-man

OtepApe · 10-10-2004, 07:00 AM

I have never been that big of a Supes fan. I won't say he's an overpwered boy scout or anything, I just prefer Batman in every single way.

LadyVader · 10-10-2004, 10:01 AM

Either one wouldn't be the same without the other. It's a symbiosis really. Superman is the goody-two-shoes boy scout because Batman is the psychotic bastard and vice versa. It's like Alpha and Omega, ying and yang, two sides of the same coin... and naturally drama goes better with angst and Batman may have better stories cause he's nuttier then a fruitcake but all in all I just don't believe one is better then the other.
so I'm sticking with Wonder Woman... yeah. I'm a wonder woman person.

The Batman · 10-10-2004, 10:45 AM

Batman's not psychotic....or least not the batman i remember...

Herr Logan · 10-10-2004, 11:07 AM

Yes, the Batman is not psychotic, he's merely neurotic. Psychotic means a break from reality. The Batman is very much in touch with reality (as far as the DC Comics universe goes). He is the ultimate pragmatist, except for the aspect about choosing not to kill people. This flaw in his logic, however, don't not make him psychotic. It merely adds another layer onto his obsessive-compulsive nature in that he's being extremely careful. The fact that he thinks he can safeguard life by considering all life precious is a delusion, but not a psychotic one.

Oh yeah... the question. I'm a Batman type of person.

LadyVader · 10-10-2004, 11:53 AM

ok, sorry, my bad.
but he is nuttier then a fruitcake.
Just kidding...

Herr Logan · 10-10-2004, 12:12 PM

He's not "normal," that's for sure. Paranoia, obsessive-compulsive personality, possible case of megalomania... Even, if he isn't a few sandwiches short of a picnic, he certainly brought some unusual sandwiches.

GL-Corps#28 · 10-10-2004, 12:41 PM

I love 'em both, but I'll go with Batman.

The Leaguer · 10-10-2004, 01:35 PM

I'm a Superman man.

Assassin · 10-10-2004, 02:22 PM

I refuse to vote.

batnkevlar · 10-10-2004, 02:35 PM

Batman... and Marvel fans tend to hate Batman cuz he has no powers WHATSOEVER...

Assassin · 10-10-2004, 02:44 PM

he has BRAIN Power

I'm a Marvel fan (although that's rapidly becoming less true) and a Batman fan, and I say you're freaking stupid if you think you think you can label an entire group defined only by affinity for a single character in that way.

I personally like both character quite a bit though.

batnkevlar · 10-10-2004, 04:48 PM

Well, I did say Marvel fans TEND to dislike Batman cuz he has no powers... I didn't label a group, The Batman did.

I'm sorry, but most bat-fans act like idiots.

"ooo!!! with prep time, Batman can beat [Insert Marvel hero]"

In fact, once someone told me that they had a friend who liked batman...until he saw a post similar to the example i posted.

Not all Bat-fans act like morons...but there is the stereotype because of the morons.

True, true.

I think most of the problem is stupid people picking thing up from second hand talk. The "Prep Time" cliche is such a ****ing worn out line, I want to throw up every time someone uses it to try and be funny. Reed Richards repulses Galactus and goes to Heaven and yet Batman gets the **** end of things because his exploits are more commercial and recent, most of them anyhow. Man I hate some people.
