Superman or Batman Poll

Superman fans have helped save the US house where the action hero was created by raising $100,000 (£56,000) in an online auction.

Memorabilia and a walk-on role in the hit TV show Heroes was sold as part of the month-long sale to repair the dilapidated house in Cleveland, Ohio.

The building was where writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster created the character more than 70 years ago.

Organiser Brad Meltzer called the sale a "humbling spectacular project".

...

He added: "We're all Clark Kent. We all know what it is like to be boring and ordinary and we all want to be able to rip open our shirt and do something beyond ourselves.

"That's what happened here. Ordinary people made a difference."

There are things I don't like in Superman
but there are things I don't like in Batman either.

I didn't vote, but if I had to pick one, I'd choose Batman. It's ... black, at least. I like this black knight idea ... It's more medievalic.

But none of'em.


a klicky
:crash:

Batman, has to be, he's not superhuman with super powers, just a man who uses his assets for the common good. We can all be a bit like him. (And he always was my favorite from childhood anyway)

Batman has such a compelling story. To me, he seems far more human than Superman, disregarding the fact that Superman is an alien. I find I can relate much more to Batman's mission than to Superman's.

--- Christian Bale :P

Of those two, definitely Batman.

But the Green Lantern(/Hal Jordan) has always been my favorite superhero.

Superman is getting murdered in the polls. STOP VOTING FOR BATMAN. Superman is better. Spiderman is cool too though, perhaps he should be added to the poll to give someone besides Batman a chance. At least make things interesting.

Batman! Both characters have had their campy streaks but overall I just enjoy Batsy better. As others have stated, he is admirable in that he achieves everything through ingenuity and effort.

Sorry bluosean!

That's about the age I quit reading this stuff and started on Dickens and Fenimore Cooper.

I bite my thumb at thee!!! You can hardly say that comics have not had a revolutionary impact on todays literature and culture. Besides, that is beyond the point. The point of this poll is to check which character, Batman or Superman, is a favorite amongst comic fans, not for everyone and anyone to share their opinion on whether comics are childish or not.




Okay, now that I'm done exploding on the least vicious comment on how comics are childish, I can get to what I think of Batman and Superman. I think that Batman is a far superior character to Superman in the respect that without superpowers, it allows his character to develop more. As in, it is easier to relate to a regular guy doing crazy action sequences and mysteries than some super dude who can solve it in a second.

The comic adaptations? ;)

:ladysman: Batman, the cool kind of James Bondy rich guy who has money, knows art, has social skills, eats with his mouth closed, has the ladies all over him; but, never quite allows himself to be truly possessed:angel: Suddenly, there's a call to action and he slips away:cool:and saves Gotham. :banana:

Batman wins hands down for me. He has a dark side, and he doesn't need freakin super powers to beat the bad guys! I mean, can anyone think of some super power that Superman doesn't have??? And he's such a sickeningly sweet all american boy too!!!:rage: (excuse me while i retch)

The number of misguided people is breaking my heart! :(

No wonder the world is in the state it is in...

Just a note: did you notice in the old series, Clark Kent ripped off his shirt; later in the more practical, green-wise years, the new superman always carried a little bag with his clothes in them.:lol:
