Let's just say the biggest reason Marvel should not be allowed near Batman...

Batman doesn't fit into any universe...thus is the beauty of Batman...he is in a league of his own in everyway.
If Marvel owned Batman.........I don't even want to imagine the horror |

No, he should be an all-ages character and not be viewed with realistic, "mature" eyes.

Batman can be made to appeal to any age group...that is the reason behind his popularity and logevity IMO so much can be done with his character its virtually limitless and that is why Batman is the most published character, has been worked on by the most different people, and why he has the most comics and graphic novels out of any character to date.

I think it is a bad thing. Comics have lost the magic, I enjoy the old stuff quite more, without uber-psychological approaches ("Oh, teh Batman is teh psycho because he dresses up like a bat"). Heroes were just heroes and didn't have to have dark stains. But hey, perhaps this is not my world anymore ![]() I can still read my old "treasures". ![]() |

I just have one question to ask you my fellow hypster... ![]() What the hell were you thinking when you created this thread?!!! ![]() Did you seriously believe that all of us would agree with you? or at least one person for that matter? Have you been on the hype lately? Do you not know of popular opinion? Because I'm trying to understand the logisitics of why you let this notion be made public to an infinte group of blood-thirsty hypsters. They will eat you alive my friend. They will take any opinion you have out of the norm and shred it to pieces, making you wish you never had an opinion in the first place. So yeah, I hope you knew what you were getting into. With that I will say this is the thread of the year...and it's its only january 2. |

This widespread notion that Marvel's characters are somehow more realistic/relatable/down-to-Earth is completely ridiculous. While it is true that a lot of DC characters are very powerful and even Batman, a normal human, has been "powered up" beyond his limits in various stories, does not mean that Marvel is any better.
The Fantastic Four, the Hulk, every X-Man ever, Nova, just to name a few. Spider-Man, who started out as the Joe Schmo of super-heroes, who has always been hailed as the so-called street-level hero with his minor powers and personal life problems. The character whose wife was a supermodel, who now has organic webshooters, lives with Stark and the Avengers. The character who didn't get his powers accidentally (unlike the original premise that he's just a random guy, one of the millions who could get them), the whole supernatural Spider-Totem mess. The character, who just had 20 years of his life and marriage completely erased. The character, who has fought in multiple spacebattles, against aliens, against world-dominating tyrants. See the pattern? Even the Punisher, a normal human, a character who doesn't even match Batman, has been getting progressively more powerful in his comic. The amount of punishment (no pun intended) he has taken recently in his own series is absolutely ridiculous. Or how about the amount of times various X-Men have been brought back from the dead. How about Wolverine and his incredible healing powers (or should we call them death-cheating powers now), which have been increased exponentially? Fact is, every character in every comic is technically unrelatable and unrealistic because of the fact that they have superpowers and live in a comicbook world with comicbook physics and comicbook logic. What makes them relatable are their problems, their tasks.. Tasks, which every character has. Superman has dealt with acceptance issues, being the lone survivor of a whole world, being the outcast on Earth. Batman has dealt with his trust issues, his fears, his utter disregard for the law. Green Lantern, for example, is supposed to protect a whole sector of space with multiple planets and there have been a lot of stories about his failures, most notably the whole Hal Jordan/Coast City fiasco. John Stewart's problems with being responsible for the destruction of a whole planet. The list goes on. In the end, if you want to lay blame on DC for making their characters too strong or somehow unrelatable to you, then you also have to blame Marvel, because honestly, it happens to every comic character.

Yeah, Marvel needs to buy the rights to Batman.
I dunno about you, but I'm looking forward to seeing Bruce Wayne reveal himself to be Batman to the public, and seeing Oracle get brainwashed into killing Nightwing, and even seeing Catwoman turn out to be a Skrull. ![]() Sorry, but Marvel's no better. IMO the fact that Batman doesn't "fit in" with the rest of the DCU means that he ABSOLUTELY should remain a part of it. That's part of the beauty of the character.

Batman should absolutely stay where he is. His difference from some of the other DC heroes (Superman) is what makes his presence there so perfect.
