wild_karrde posted:Batman is a much more interesting character, to me anyway. He is majorly flawed, as compared to Superman, who is basically Jesus in a red cape. Flawed characters are always more interesting than perfect characters. And in a fight Batman would win because a) he knows Superman's weaknesses and b) he wouldn't hesitate to exploit them.
Twinky_Stryder posted:The interesting thing about Batman and Superman is that they are both somewhat deluded about their identities. Superman was born with his powers, born Superman, and his costume, the cape with the S, is actually his cloths because they are what he was wrapped in as a baby. Clark Kent is the illusion that he pretends to be. The reporter's outfit and glasses are a costume used to fool people into hiding who he truly is. (For a better summary of this theory see Kill Bill volume 2) Batman was born Bruce Wayne, and so that is who he truly is. He had to go through a lot of training and tragedy to become Batman, the cape and body armor is his costume. But he has said several times in the comics that Batman is who he is and Bruce Wayne is just an illusion and a lie. Just a random thing I've noticed.
