George: "Who's this, Blue Arrow?"
Elaine: "Green Lantern."
Jerry: "We found out his super power was lack of money."
Elaine: "All right."
Jerry: "He's invulnerable to creditors."
Elaine: "We get it."
Jerry: "He's the 'Got-no-Green' Lantern."
Elaine: "Thank you."
Jerry: "Hey, Elaine. Maybe his girlfriend is Lois Loan."
Elaine, leaving: "Well crafted."

Batman.

In real life, he's a good ol' fashioned capitalist. Superman, on the other hand, is a disciple of the MSM.

He's got a REAL disguise. As if anyone in real life would be fooled by glasses...

He's got brains...and nifty gadgets. Much cooler than inbred "super powers".

I kind of liked the Green Hornet and Kato myself.

JERRY: I think Superman probably has a very good sense of humor.

GEORGE: I never heard him say anything really funny.

JERRY: But it's common sense. He's got super strength, super speed.. I'm sure he's got super humor.

GEORGE: You would think that, but either you're born with a sense of humor, or you're not. It's not going to change even if you go from the red sun of Krypton all the way to the yellow sun of the Earth.

JERRY: Why? Why would that one area of his mind not be affected by the yellow sun of Earth?

GEORGE: I don't know but he ain't funny.

ELAINE: You still couldn't kiss her?

JERRY: She has a taint. I can't see it, but I know it's there.

ELAINE: Oh, so now you're finding fault on a sub-atomic level.

JERRY: Maybe if I could shrink myself down, like in Fantastic Voyage, and get inside a microscopic submarine, I could be sure. Although if there was something there, it might be pretty scary. Course, I would have that laser.

SUPERMAN!
Batman is a rogue! Read the comics and people will learn that Superman supports the U.S.A.
Batman supports only his feelings.
Just my opinion.

The Apples and Oranges comparison of our modern pop culture!

Superman - the Ultimate Immigrant gifted with talents that make him physically superior to every other person on this planet. While he could easily rule the world he chooses to serve mankind thanks to the excellent parenting he received from the Kent's. Kal-El's efforts to live most of his life as a mundane human being indicates that he's uncomfortable in his god-like role and envies the comparatively simple challenges the humans around him contend with. His need for acceptance, constant awareness of his tremendous abilities and deeply caring nature makes him break complicated circumstances down to their simplest forms. That allows him the greatest justification for his actions while retaining an ethical high ground. Kal-El the ultimate Boy Scout would lose his mind if he varied from his rigid Good/Evil perception of the world.

Batman - seemingly lucky inheritor of great wealth horribly traumatized by witnessing the senseless murder of his parents. His obsession for vengeance was channeled into serving society thanks to his outstanding intellect, discipline and (de facto parent) Alfred's wise guidance. Bruce Wayne deals with his schizophrenia by granting his dark side full blown support and freedom. His success as Batman comes not from just analytical, physical and technical advantages - they're ultimately due to his willingness to push beyond the bounds of reason and sanity without hesitation. Bruce knows he's mentally ill but knows he can keep it together so long as he can reason he's basically better than the scum he apprehends. While the chase often finds him in grey ethical areas the results, to him, justify his means.

Bats & Supes are OK, but it's the original Doom Patrol for me!
