Batman strengths:
  • Exceptional intelligence and strategic mind
  • Peak human physical condition
  • Pretty much unlimited money and resources
  • Master of stealth, combat, and multiple martial arts
  • Unbreakable willpower and mental resilience
  • Excellent preparation and contingency planning (always has a plan)
  • Highly skilled detective and investigator
  • Gadgets, Bat-stuff

Superman strengths:
  • Immense superhuman strength, speed, and durability
  • Flight, enhanced senses, heat vision, freeze breath, X-ray vision
  • Near-invulnerability to most physical threats
  • Solar powered (unlimited energy near a yellow sun)
  • Super intelligence and fast learning ability
  • Can operate on a global (or planetary) scale

Which one would you pick?
 
Do I gotta go to a Red Sun in order to throw down on an easy Earth girl?

Let's be honest, Batman is way too much work, the guy trains all day, never sleeps. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Is there a Lantern Corps of a sort of watery pastel blue with the power of ADHD driving their rings? I'd be that :p
 
Probably Super-man.
In terms of power, he creates a conflict of people fearing him as some sort of god, but at the same time creates this effect of "what if" by everyone having a plan B in a case of the character goes berserk.

Batman used to like but nowadays he has so much plot armor that he ends up being op, even though he is human.
 
Batman. I think most people would end up like Omni-Man or Superboy if they had his powers, me included. You don't want a regular human as a god, look at the Greek Pantheon for how that turns out.
 
Oh gee…

1. Be a guy with godlike powers, in a healthy marriage with a hot wife, have his shit together, own property in both a city and farm.

Or

2. Be a depressed, borderline psychotic anti-social mess of a human being, who's mass murdered thousands of innocents due to always bringing super villains back to an Asylum that routinely fails to contain them. But you're wealthy.

So .2 then?
 
Batman is by FAR my favourite hero, but I'd much rather be Superman given the choice.
More people could be a better Superman than could be Batman.
 
According to google Superman not only has insane powers but he can basically live forever, and he can also die whenever he feels like :pie_thinking:. Imagine how many videogames, books, and albums I could go through...

Superman!

Speed, flight, strength, and practically immortal. Hard to say no to that without even mentioning the other powers. To have the ability to remove yourself from Earthly concerns is the ultimate freedom.

Even if you get bored/sick of Earth, just go live in the sun for a bit then emerge as a golden god.

Superman is the easy choice for me even if you massage the Batman scenario to get over the dark parts of the Dark Knight and stick with the advantages. You're still just a human, for better or worse.
 
Who in the absolute fuck is chosing batman, the human prep-time meme?

His best asset over suppa is money and with superpowers you can make all the money you can ever need.
 
The character that writers have to give themselves hernias to put them in peril vs the character who writers feel they have to give the most charmed and lucky existence possible. And the sun isn't yellow, it's white. The dirty atmosphere only makes it look yellow.
 
Superman. Then I'd kill batman, just to show comic book nerds how ridiculously easy it was, and that no amount of planning can save you from a super luminal punch in the nuts.
 
Batman fucks, so Batman.
Superman is married and he's father in comic books and the tv show Superman and Lois, so...


About me, let's see...hearing all the world's lifes in my ears at the same time and being the center of the world...or being a traumatized guy in a awful city for life?

I love both...and I wouldn't want to be any of them.

Is this new? Of all the movies I've seen with him so far, he seemed to be the dumbest of them all. So i am Batman.

Does our choice also come with all the backstory, supervillains, "powers", and side characters?

Either way, I'd go Superman. But especially so if in our real world and with his powers.

Pretty sure I could get rich as Superman. I'd use his ice breath to cool AI data centers and make $$$ billions.

You could start a protection racket as superman. "Be a real shame if some of your uranium ended up in Iran".
 
You would be Bruce Wayne.
Who said i did not train with raz al ghul ?
I would be the batman who after training chose to go to the psychiatrist for a few years to cope with a traumatic but ultimately anecdotal event instead of doing useless crime fighting. I would fight the criminals in politics so things could really change. I would be a much better and efficient batman overall now i think about it, while being knee deep in super model pussy every night. I would be the hero everyone need, but don't deserve.
