Superman Returns Superman's Super speed... Super thinker too?

But Superman's never been characterized as being of genius intellect. He's a smart man, no question, but he's never really shown the tactical, scientific or academic intelligence of Batman (yes, Batman can do more than just build gadgets) or Lex Luthor.
Superman can think at a super fast pace and has a computer like brain. So he would have an excellent memory. But he doesn't need to rely on tactical skills as much as Batman.
 
I dunno.....I think I'd prefer him to be almost as dumb as he appears, b/c making him a pure genuis along with his strength and powers.......dude, this man would literally be God.

why would you want him to be dumb....hes superman?:confused: Superman obvioulsy can calculate problems faster then any being on earth, he can build androids. He once did a medical procedure[super surgery] on another hero. so im sure Superman is smarter then Batman or luthor, he just does need to make fancy gadgets all the time. Thier is nothing that superman does no know how to do. Batmans human brain, cannot measure up to supermans super kryptonian one.

So, can he read and understand an entire book reading it at super speed?
yes. there has been several stories that he does this. the most recent one i can remember was a story with artwork from Alex Ross (sorry i cant remember the title ot the story). Clark had to go through several file cabinets worth of info at the Daily Planet when he was researching a case for Superman.

no, Superman cant create universes, or turn back time (spinning the Earth backwards will not do anything about that), or raise people from the dead or reverse the course of age/ diseases, or create/ destroy matter/ organisms with a thought or control matter on an atomic level or..... how many more God-like abilities do you want me to give you that would prove that Superman is not a God? he lives up to his name-- Superman. we are a product of our evolution the same way as he was a product of his. if somehow we wound up in the stone age we'd be supermen to those Neanderthals. see the relation?

dude, you're really intimidated by Superman, i could tell. will you relax? Batman's got his postive qualities, he still the best superhero the Human race has ever produced (Wonder Woman doesnt really count, since she's made of clay) and he's doing a damn fine job at that.

Dude.....what??

First of all, I didn't say I wanted him to be dumb.

Second off, I always thought (from what I was reading) that Batman and Lex's intellect was better than Superman's, it's why Lex is a challenge to begin with. Atleast, that's what I always believed. And, this aint a Batman thing going on here.....so don't lean on me for being a Batman fan on this one.

I think your talking about JUSTICE.

Hmm....so, he read all the files like that? ****........I actually heard that Wally couldn't read and take in the knowledge, but that Bart had that ability. I didn't know Supes did too.

Nah, it's just that with his strengths.....I always saw him as the tank. Ya know, all muscle.....not as much brain. I thought that was one of the weakness, that you cannot beat him one-on-one b/c he's so ****ing strong. But, if he's a goddamn genuis.....****, he's got it all.

dude, you're really intimidated by Superman, i could tell. will you relax? Batman's got his postive qualities, he still the best superhero the Human race has ever produced (Wonder Woman doesnt really count, since she's made of clay) and he's doing a damn fine job at that.

Intimidated?

Your kidding.......right?

I'm just a little surprised at the revevlation that he's a genuis. I never thought he was dumb, or mildy ******ed.......unlinke his buddy Bizarro.......I just always saw him as a tank, and I always took the Lex-Superman fighting that way.

But, if he's smarter than Lex....well.....where's the challenge, atleast that's what'd feel as a writer.

Batman, well...I like to think he represents the human race in many ways. Ya know, how people say that Superman is what we all aspire to be?

Well, I think Batman is who we are. Food for thought.
