THat might be chalked up to extremely poor writing.. I mean... his parents were killed so he decided to dress up like a bat and beat the shit out of people... Pretty messed up in the head.bdcjacko said:

The one where the team up is called "Superman:Batman. The search for kyrptonite". It was released 2008 I think.Jamous said:messy said:
Please, PLEASE direct me to those two stories. I WANT to read them.
The blocking out the sun one I'm not entirely sure on, I read it around a friends so I don't own it myself.
To best of my recollection Batman (with some help from Green Arrow) takes out Superman in "the dark knight returns" by Frank Miller. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with second one, I'll try and see my friend and ask him. If I get any news I'll send you a message.
EDIT: The sequel to "the dark knight returns" has a scene in which the Atom is trapped in a pertri dish and has to fight bacteria like they're dinosaurs. Defiantly worth a look into.
EDIT2: Sorry, one last thing, if you want proof of Batman's awesomeness just read the bit in blackest night were Black Hand brings him back to "life" and look at the "Oh Shi..." faces on pretty much the entire JLA.
Every superhero has his or her flaws.
Like Superman has kryptonite, Batman has the fact that he has no superpowers(Though this may not be a weakness 'cause since he has to find creative ways around what he lacks he can come up with something to counter almost any enemy. Superpowered or not).
So i'd say Superman has a bigger flaw than Batman, seeing as how anyone who sets their mind to it can somehow get their hands on kryptonite, but no one i've seen has been able to outwit the Batman.
Conclusion: Batman's more awesome that most SUPERheroes

So: The Dark Knight Returns and the sequel thereof and Blackest Night? Thank you very much good sir, I'm going to enjoy delving into that huge pile of epic.messy said:The one where the team up is called "Superman:Batman. The search for kyrptonite".

Batman beat Superman in a fist fight.. I think that deserves some mention when considering how uber someone is.
I wouldn't say he's a little girl, but i wish him luck stopping brainiac. Also, his job would be done for him if he just funded the police and gave them even half of his gadgets, and that wouldn't involve him putting the city in danger if one man fails.commodore96 said:
Depends on who's writing his comics
Grant Morrison has a habit of hugely inflating Batman's ego, making the things which he manages to accomplish almost impossible, but he does it anyway. In general, Batman is fantastic, especially when writers focus his stories around him being a detective which Jeph Loeb does a lot and I love that
He is the world's greatest detective. That makes him the world's greatest crime-fighter but also the world's most paranoid son-of-a-*****
The argument that he sucks because he has no powers pisses me off hugely because, where heroes are concerned, villains are scaled to 'meet their match'. Superman fights the likes of Darksied and Dommsday while Batman fights supercriminals like Two-Face and Bane. Batman is certainly interesting because of his colourful list of adversaries and the entire Batman mythos being so dark and gothic
I personally love Batman. The Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush (Jeph Loeb) The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One (Frank Miller) are all among the best comic books ever written

Anyway, yes Batman is fucking awesome. The reason I say this is he hasn't got an overpowered arsenal of superpowers that force the story and villains to be ramped up to stupid proportions (see Superman). Now while I'm not saying that over the top superhero action is a bad thing, since that's good now and then, personally I much prefer a more realistic superhero. Also the reason I enjoy Watchmen so much (yeah yeah Dr Manhattan and other things, but The comedian and Rorschach are my favs so there).

Batman's superpower is Uncanny Trickstery.
He can pull off any stunt, feat, trick or defeat any foe and accomplish any goal, given enough time. If they told him "DEVELOP A TIME TRAVEL DEVICE OR WE ALL GONNA DIE!!" he'll do it just in the nick of time.
