Batman is Better than Superman
It’s one of those age-old questions. Who is better, Batman or Superman? Well, I’m going to answer the question for you, with the following list:
Top Ten Reasons Why Batman Kicks Superman’s Ass:
10. The Batcave.
9. Superman’s secret identity is a clumsy, nerdy reporter with glasses. Batman’s: billionaire playboy.
8. The Batplane.
7. Batman wears a cool black and gray costume. Superman looks like someone vomited rainbow all over him.
6. Superman is an alien. You know… like E.T.
5. Batman doesn’t need any powers to beat up bad guys.
4. The Batmobile.
3. Batman’s purple and green arch-villain: Joker. Superman’s purple and green arch-villain: Mr. Mxyzptlk.
2. Frank Miller says so.
1. To Batman, Kryptonite is a paperweight.
Author Christopher J. Valin 
Hmmm….. I never really thought about it, but you ARE right!!! Batman IS better than Superman!!! I was sold when I got to the Batmobile!! 🙂
Thanks for agreeing! Usually people want to argue with me about it.
i do think batman is better that superman and the JL he has ways of defeating every single one of them and superman is just a power house that is so weak and he is not good at his job. Batman is more intertening and has a more interesting background superman sucks. That my opionion.
My husband will agree! I also think Batman is sexier. 😉
ya plus who plays batman in Batman and Robin?
exactly George Clooney hehehe sexy
who plays superman?
some random dude off the street
plus take away batmans gadgets armor and money
and take away supermans superpowers
who would win?
BATMAN
he knows martial arts and if uve ever seen teh dark night
he can take people while drugged!
i got loads more reasons too 😀
10. The Batcave or the fortress of solitude (with animals all around de universe, times machines, robots, and all crazy inventions)
9. Superman’s secret identity is a clumsy, nerdy reporter with glasses married to a superhot reporter, two wonderfull parents, a wonderfull family and also a superdog to play. Batman’s: billionaire playboy with none to love and none to love him back, and he doesn´t have a real life as bruce wayne
8. The Batplane.the supermovile (flys in space, underwater and in time)
7. Batman wears a cool black and gray costume. Superman looks like someone vomited rainbow all over him and represents someone who coud be approched and a icon of goodwill
6. Superman is an alien. You know… like E.T. and besides it he is willing to help all the humanity, id dispiced by others alien and always wanted to be human.
5. Batman doesn’t need any powers to beat up bad guys. Neither does superman when he is without his powers.
4. The Batmobile.the supermovile
3. Batman’s purple and green arch-villain: Joker. Superman’s purple and green arch-villain: Mr. Mxyzptlk. an Imp from the 5th dimension who can alter the laws of phyics and destined to become an evil entity capable to destroy all the universe.
2. Frank Miller says so. Frank Millers sucks, haven´t you read dark night returns 2 or all star batman and robin?
1. To Batman, Kryptonite is a paperweight. To Superman, bullets are paperweight, also Kryptonite would poison and kill batman and another human being whos stays a considerable time around it… as having it as paperweight.
You make a few good points, but I won’t give you the Frank Miller one. You’re judging a thirty-plus year career on a couple of missteps he’s made recently. Yes, I’ve read The Dark Knight Returns 2 and All Star Batman and Robin, but I’ve also read his early Daredevils, the first Dark Knight Returns (the best comic series ever, IMO), 300, and Sin City. Along with Alan Moore, he probably had more to do with changing the nature of comic books/graphic novels than any other human being on the planet back in the 1980s. I have fond memories of reading comics before that when I was a kid, but when I go back and read them now, it’s unbelievable how much things have changed (mostly for the better).
Plus, Batman is still better. 🙂
Superman is quite dumb, to repeatedly fall for the ever so banal ‘let’s whip out some kryptonite at the last minute’ trick. And I don’t give a crap if a superhero has loving parents or not. What does that have to do with it? An Lois Lane is annoying. Batman has catwoman – no comparison in the sack, I am sure.
And superman is a slave to authority. Batman answers to no one.
And yes, while TDK Returns 2 sucked, the original was one of the best comics of all time. And Frank Miller did Sin City. He doesn’t suck.
I agree, though your analysis relies a lot on comedy. Please check out my recent post on the same subject and add comment.
11. Batman “goes out” with Vicki Vale, -Superman’s girl is Lois Lane.
Nitpicks, stupid reasons, and getting facts wrong. That’s what this top ten list is. *awesome face*
