What’s all this I keep seeing about Batman vs. Superman as if Batman could really hold a candle to the man of steel? Last I knew, Superman is a super strong alien who is only hurt by kryptonite, and Batman is just a regular dude who happens to have a lot of money, a utility belt, and a paunchy sidekick. Someone explain to me how Batman is going to bitch slap Superman and get away with it. No, really. I’d like to know.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Batman’s back story. Losing his parents at such a young age, and in such a dramatically sad fashion, it makes me want to cry for little Brucie Wayne. Turning that, and his immense fortune, into all those gadgets so that he could protect the less fortunate is also admirable.
But he’s still just a man. He was never bitten by a radioactive bat or received super powers from a fairy godmother. He’s just a man.
Superman, on the other hand, is faster than a speeding bullet, is stronger than a train, has x-ray vision, and, oh yeah, he can FLY. The comparisons just don’t do Batman any justice. Yet, for some reason I keep seeing these stupid memes that have Batman being superior to Superman.
Somebody explain it to me please!

I’m with you, Sam. It just does not compute. Fire these moronic writers and hire a real writer, like you, Sam, who at least knows the characters!
I would write a lovely story where Batman goes back to the batcave, shivering in his booties.
…puts on his Superman jammies and goes to bed in his Bat mobile bed frame, by IKEA?
IKEA rules.
Because Batman is smarter, has contingency plans for EVERYTHING, and Clark isn’t willing to do what needs to be done and sacrifice everything like Batman will. And I say Batman because Bruce Wayne died when his parents did. Bruce Wayne only exists to make money, further technology, aide in Batman’s plans and save lives. Now, while Clark can go be a goodie too shoes and keep Superman’s image all spit shine clean, Batman gets his hands dirty in the underworld for info to save people. THAT is why people respect Batman more. That and Batman knew that Superman was Clark Kent in about 2 seconds. In the Animated Series, he even had Lois on his arm in about 3. Apparently WayneTech developed liquid panty remover as well.
