JCC Amph Census Spider-Man versus Batman - who's better?

Spider-Man because Bruce Wayne is terrible. Put the superior Dick Grayson in the batsuit and then you have Spider-Man vs Spider-Man

 

Just to bring the films into this: I enjoy the Sam Raimi Spidey films but find the Nolan Batman films better. Both heroes have cool stories, cool outifts, interesting powers, etc.

Hmmmm. Ill vote for Batman though but its close, like real close.

 

Batman. But it's close.

 

We need darth sinister to come in with an earnest and serious answer to this. Is he still round?

 

edit:nm

 

I switched my vote to Spider-Man.

Eat the rich.

 

Yeah but the Disney Marvel Spider-Man movies are better than the Raimi ones. Especially Homecoming.

 

The fact that it’s even close is an indictment of Batman, dudes got billions of dollars of inherited familial wealth and does basically nothing in the day to day operation of his company so he can spend more time punching people and the amount of good he’s done is comparable with a broke teenager doing part time community service work? For shame.

 

Batman creates his own tech CHECK
Spidey creates his own tech CHECK
Batman has no powers --------
Spidey has super powers CHECK
Batman loses loved ones and closes off emotionally
Spidey loses loved ones and still remains an optimist

Both have great music, but Spidey has lyrics.

 

Both depend very much on the writer

So do Batman



(not the most advanced lyrics I admit, but they are there)

 

You forgot one:

 

I I voted for Spider-Man, although I am fond of both characters.

 

I mean Spider-man is a better person, but Batman is a more honest characterization of American society.

 

You fool! Wocky will destroy us all now.

 

I like both equally. They are my favourite characters from both companies.

 

Both are cool for very different reasons. I'll vote Spidey, if only for his sense of humor.

 

I know Spider-man is supposed to be the more personable hero that most can relate to, but to me that personality is a little too over-the-top; I kind of relate more to Bruce Wayne's more down-to-Earth/get-to-the-point characteristics. And his sense of humor is more dark and witty; it'd have to be that or else he'd never get the edge on the Joker. I'd imagine Peter Parker would be peeing his pants laughing at every fart joke coming out of the Joker's mouth.

 

I accidentally voted for Spider-Man in the poll but I meant Batman. I think the takeover of popular cinema by (mostly) braindead superhero movies was one of the worst developments of the 2010s. At least the idea of Batman is halfway plausible. Spider-Man? Not so much.

 

dahhhh Spider-Man. Damn you for making me chose!

 

Nighthawk, obviously, since he's both.

 

How is he both?

 

In Heroes Reborn, his archnemesis is the Green Goblin, his partner the Falcon was killed in the identical fashion as Gwen Stacey, Miles Morales is the 'new' Robin, Gwen Stacey is the Bat-Girl equivalent, he had a relationship with the Black Cat, he wore the Venom suit, and so forth.

 

Batman for me. I watched the original movie with Michael Keaton at the theater and loved every minute. I love the dark back story he has which gives his character depth. I actually even enjoyed the 2 different Batman movies after Michael Keaton left. Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. I do enjoy the movies with Christian Bale as well. Not as much as Michael Keaton. Maybe it's my childhood nostalgia but he can't be beat.
