It depends on which incarnation of him we're talking about. DCAU Batman? Awesome, Tim Burton movies Batman? Awesome. Adam West Batman? Joke. Brave & The Bold Batman? Joke. Any Batman movie not directed by either Burton or Nolan? Joke.

Batman killed Darkseid in Final Crisis. The guy with no Superpowers killed a guy who Superman struggles to beat. It's over, Batman is awesome.
Exactly. He wins his battles by using gadgets he apparently designed himself, and by being well-trained. He's a regular (well, except for his skills and money) human being fighting enemies who sometimes even have superpowers and wins anyway.Raven4live said:
Besides the fact that he still puts on his bright red underpants over his legging..Eldarion said:
Sorry couldn't help it.
If you want to go by that, Wonder Woman chooses Supes in at least one other work.xXxJessicaxXx said:Wonder Woman has got it right tbh. All of the men in the justice league and who does she choose? Bats
There is a recent movie where he threatens Darkseid after hes cracked the ordinance codes and rigged the entire planet to blow and Superman is just standing there punching shit. Two guesses who he caves to...
Brain power is a truly awesome superpower, just ask Agatha Heterodyne. There is a reason why he works so well with Superman. They are practically unbeatable together.
(The whole wearing you undies outside your pants thing can be mostly excused when the rest of the awesome is involved)
Ahem! Doomsday. And I don't care if they went to a space age regeneration center, the fact is Superman still got killed.Lyri said:
OT: Batman is truely deserving of awesome status. He doesn't need any super powers to kick ass. All he needs is his brains, a killer R&D department, and a metric fuckton of kickass gadgets.
BIAS THREAD.
You're asking the Internet what it thinks of Batman, and I can sum it up in one image.
Yeah, that's pretty much the sum of things. Personally, I don't like Batman. He's a rich crybaby dressed in a rather horrifying gimp suit and only fights crime because someone shot his mommy and daddy.

Another thing I keep thinking is "BATMAN HAS BEATEN EVERYONE, EVEN PEOPLE SUPERMAN CAN'T BEAT." You know what that means? That means the DC writers, editor, and basically the entire company are gay for batman. It is a fake little story that has no basis in reality, so naturally, it is going to come out how ever they want. And they keep wanting Batman to go over everyone. Alright, Darkseid just came off an awesome feud with Superman and barely came out alive. Great, now lets job him to Batman in a 3 second match.
Yes, I'm using wrestling terms because it is essentially the same thing. Only wrestlers eventual die or retire.

batman is rad. however i'd think he was cooler if he dropped the stupid bat theme.
Most people would just say they were afraid of bats, or spiders, or whatever. No, not Bruce Wayne. For Christ's sake man, I know your parents were blown away but you did become a billionaire playboy/trained ninja/vigilante. What the hell more can ask for out of life? A pony? Oh wait, I'm sure a billionaire owns multiple horses.

Scarecrow once drugged Superman. Superman saw what the world would looks like if it's surface was covered in kyrptonite... its was awesome.Jamous said:
OT: Batman is awesome. Read the batman and superman crossovers. Batman is the only person awesome enough that superman will go to for help (well not only, but the only one I've seen a cross over dedicated to). The one I just read involved Batman and Superman ridding the world of kryptonite.
Also, seriously it took a damn-near god to kill him. And even he only had the guts to send him back in time.
EDIT: Batman once took out Superman, Batman's first move (first, note the word first) was to block out the sun and it just got better from then.
Bats is great,I love him because he is my childhood hero,and to be honest,i also like him more then super man because he is COOL!What is cool in just killing your enemies with your thumb??
OT:I will give super man a try,but for now,he is my nm.1 hero!(Joker is nm.1 baddy!)

[HEADING=2]You don't mess with the goddamn Batman![/HEADING]
Go and get your friend to either play Arkham Asylum or read The Dark Knight Returns.
We'll see then.
Sometimes people don't know a good thing when they see it, sometimes that thing sees them first and that's why you don't mess around with the godamn Batman!
He's my favourite comic character of all time. Probably the hero I look up to most, so I get where you're coming from.
Obviously your mate just doesn't get the richness of the Batman mythos, and it's really their loss, not yours.
I suggest you reward yourself with watching some of the Animated Series, friend.

Frank Miller's Goddamn Batman is a total joke, But Batman in general is awesome and he's awesome because he can contend with super humans (also no-one can deliver a better ass kicking to the man of steel then Batman).
As for his villeins are a little more complicated then lunatics with guns.
The Joker alone has murdered well over 2000 people including Boy-side kicks, Men, Women, Children, Henchmen, Other Villeins. He also crippled Barbra Gordon, Reaped the ex-wife of a henchmen, Tried to drive Jim Gordon insane and many many other horrifying crimes.

Wrestling is basically live-action superhero-ing after all. Most of us (and them) won't be getting up from some of those beatings they give each other if they let some random Joe do it =Pbdcjacko said:
Heh. Well. Superman has all kinds of super-powers and he is probably the most boring of them all.commodore96 said:
That said, Batman has already kicked Supermans ass. And he could kick all the other super heroes' ass too. He IS the most awesome. No matter what.
Batman is not a joke but he is not that great either. He is basicly in my mind par for the course.(UNLESS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE BURTON MOVIE)He is the generic non superpowered hero like how Superman is the generic Superpowered hero. Captain America on the other hand........
[HEADING=3] CAPTAIN AMERICA:He's like Superman without super-powers. How balls-out crazy-brave is that? [/HEADING]
