Who's better --- Batman or Superman?
Chicago Tribune ^ | June 21, 2005 | Julia Keller

Enough, already. Enough with the brooding towers of Gotham City and its dusky canyons of stone and steel and glass, its night-haunted streets, its cold spires im-paling the indigo sky.

Enough with the guy in the mask who soothes his poor orphan's heart by muscling around in a sports car that gets scandalously low gas mileage.

Enough, I say, with Batman.

It is time for discerning and conscientious citizens to rise up and boldly state the truth: Superman is better.

HAS to be Batman. Superman surrounded himself with idiots! Those reporters (must work for the NY Slimes) can be fooled by someone putting their glasses on????? At least BM made an attempt to disguise himself. Sure the flying & the incredible strength would be cool, but I'd need that inner strength so as to not b!tch slap the morons I work with!

Thanks, I feel better now...

Go read the Graphic Novel (comic) "The Dark Knight Returns". That comic answered this question.

superman is more powerful, batman is smarter. Brains beats brawn hands down.

Superman wouldn't even attempt to put Batman down. Hello, kyrtonite bullet anyone?
