Although Marvel has brought us some amazing characters, i must say that DC is better.
Batman is THE BEST superhero, and YES I will argue that point with anyone.
They have also created such unsurpassed characters as superman And LOBO. i love LOBO smile

You can't argue with a guy who can kick Superman's ass without powers. I love DC's Vertigo line, especially Fables. For indies, I'm completely addicted to Walking Dead and Ex Machina.

Fables is pretty good.
I'll have to check out Walking dead and Ex Machina, however i'm assuming walking dead is about zombies and they scare the hell out of me.

One of the best zombie stories I've ever read. Very character driven, focused on the effects on the survivors. Ex Machina is about a superhero who publicly reveals his identity and goes into politics.

Yes i agree Batman is The BEST, its Also ALL DC has for badass characters, and Superman's a wuss in reality. Someone years back wanted to create a monty hall unbeatable character with apparently low intelligence, that ontop of his many numerous powers, has the power to confuse peoples minds by not allowing them to notice he looks like his alter ego, by the shear must be magical glasses of i don't look like superman.

Then if you really want to throw a dig at batman, Why is it he always recruits young gymnastic boys to work for him?? Hrmm could someone be insinuating something about him?, otherwise known as the most useless superhero ever created, Robin, and yes more useless than even Aquaman

On top of that when comic people discuss which team would win the Justice League Vs anyone who would win, well yes the justice league would win, because it consists of every single DC character ever made, basically.


Marvel has
Wolverine: Need i say more? no but i shall
Spiderman
Blade
Punisher
DeadPool
Gambit

Plus Marvel truly is the best biggrin

I'm pretty sure she meant the comic company. You're far better than comics. Ok, so we've never met or talked, but still I think it's safe to assume.

Awww sorry marvel.
haha, im sure you are fantastic.
Firstly, Spider man is the wussiest character, you have the gull to bash Superman, and then list Spiderman in your top characters. PSH.
Its not just Klart kents appearance that changes its his whole demeanor. Also a common mistake so i forgive you. Superman is pretty much the opposite of batman, he has basically every power, he is so god damn bright and cheery. he is a really nice guy and he is not very smart. Batman is dark and sad, he doesnt have super powers but is trained in virtually every fighting style. He oozes intellect, but as Bruce is a play boy and cocky dick.
Superman isnt one of my favorites, truth be told.


Everyones argument against batman is that he has robin as a sidekick, and although i do agree that robin isnt the best character, people normally say that crap not knowing robin's back story. There are i believe 3 different Robin characters, only 1 was a gymnyst, and Wayne took him on because his parents were killed.. dun dun nana! much like batman's parents...

I agree Wolverine is prolly my favorite Marel character. He has one of the most complex backstories.
I also love him because he is modified. He has a little of the good ol' metal implants.
Gambit is amazing.
Punisher is OK i guess.
Blade is freaking sweet. Hes not a super hero persay. Hes just a do-gooding vampire hunter.

I would take Lobo over punisher or Blade for the fact that the comics are so freaking funny.

I appreciate your argument. I love someone who can back up what they say about comics biggrin

I loved Batman: The Animated Series, and the newest movies with Christian Bale are amazing... I have never really read much Batman as far as comics go. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Batman's superpower is just being rich, isn't it? Somehow that's less badass than say, anything else.

I love comic arguments, I like you Clock smile

Heres some funny lists that were posted in Maxim Mag, List as Worst Superheros

#10. SUPERMAN
Secret identity: Clark Kent
Origin: Kal-El, an orphan from the planet Krypton, was adopted by farmers the Kents.
Power: He can fly, and he possesses superstrength, invulnerability, X-ray vision, heat vision, freezing breath%u2014and two clanking balls of steel.
Why so lame: He's a cornfed, holier-than-thou Boy Scout with a lame disguise. C'mon!

#2. AQUAMAN
Secret identity: Arthur Curry
Origin: Aquaman was born to a mixed marriage: His father was an average Joe, and his mother was the deposed queen of an advanced underwater civilization. Devoted himself to crime fighting to avenge the death of his childhood sea monkeys or some ****. Currently playing comic relief for a number of different supergroups.
Power: He can breathe underwater, swim fast, and, best of all, communicate with fish. Plus, his fingers never, ever get wrinkly.
Why so lame: "I'm trapped in...frigging...tuna net again. Swordfish! Hear and obey! Stop laughing and cut me loose!"

#9. CAPTAIN PLANET
Secret identity: Sting (um, we think)
Origin: Summoned when five multiethnic kids combined the power of their rings, Captain Planet helps thwart ecovillains.
Power: He can fly, and he sports a green mullet; weaknesses include littering, toxic waste. Can never enter New Jersey.
Why so lame: He's Greenpeace's own Superman!

#22:THE FLASH
Secret identity: Barry Allen
Origin: Simultaneously struck by lightning and doused with chemicals (What sign was this ******* born under?), Barry Allen became the fastest man alive%u2014the Flash!
Power: He can run really fast. Also...no, wait, that's it.
Why so lame: When a curb can defeat you, you're lame.

#1. ROBIN
Status: Sidekick
Secret identity: Dick Grayson
Origin: Dick watched helplessly as his circus acrobat parents got whacked by some Gotham City gangsters. (Hey, we just figured out why!) Adopted by Bruce Wayne/Batman and vowing revenge, he became the fearsome, um, Boy Wonder. Evil%u2014snicker%u2014better beware!
Power: He can swing from ropes, ride shotgun, tidy up the living room, and peek out from behind Batman's cape.
Why so lame: Robin isn't just lame%u2014he's hands-down the most embarrassing, useless, and completely ridiculous superhero ever. No powers, a femmy nickname, a figure-skater costume, and no actual responsibilities of his own. Why he wasn't super-wedgied a long time ago is beyond us

He doesnt have any super powers, thats what makes him so awesome.
He is rich, thats how he has all the gadgets and has time to do all his good deeds and junk.
However, like i said he is trained in MANY fighting styles, and possesses incredible agility, stealth, and intelligence. He also makes his own weapons (depending on which series you go by).
I think that makes him MORE badass.

Let me add one more thing for you, next time you want to argue.
This is from wikipedia
Pink Kryptonite
From Supergirl (vol. 2) #79, an alternate timeline in a 2003 Supergirl storyline by Peter David, this bizarre variety of Kryptonite apparently turned heterosexual Kryptonians temporarily and stereotypically gay; it was seen in just one panel, with Superman giving flattering compliments to Jimmy Olsen about his wardrobe and decorative sense. It spoofs the more "innocent times" of the Silver Age (Lois Lane is depicted in this story as not understanding what's gotten into Superman).[9]

Sorry, but Superman is made of FAIL. This is by virtue of the fact that he was designed as being invincible. The most important thing in any fantastic setting is setting limits on what characters cannot do. There wasn't anything that Superman couldn't do; he was super strong, could fly, could freeze shit with his breath, see through stuff, shoot u wif laz0rz, etc. etc. etc. That becomes uninteresting in a very short amount of time. Kryptonite had to be invented in order to give him some sort of weakness.

I'll concede Batman is pretty awesome, depending on which series one reads. Ultimately it's the writing and exploration of the character's human frailties that makes for interesting story telling. The fantastic setting in ancillary. Since Batman was only human, that's probably why he was the most interesting of the DC protagonists.

Marvel and Stan Lee did a brilliant job with their story-telling across the board, no matter which character, they were all human in some way, and it was their human weaknesses that made them identifiable and interesting.

I beg to differ. Superman is a superpussy. "ooh i have to hold back or i'll hurt someone...wah wah wah". Fucking crybaby. If he really wanted to handle up on supervillians don't you think he'd show off just once and that would set some motherfuckers straight? But no, he has to half ass his crime fighting and give the villains of the world hope that they can succeed.

and if we're going to bring Batman into this. about him being a sad cocky prick, i'm sorry but that title belongs to Tony motherfucking Stark. Batman is just so cold and stoic, which is awesome in its own right but Bruce Wayne is equally emotionless. Tony Stark is an angry, alcoholic, genius, womanizing asshole.

And i can't believe no one brought up Captain America yet. The man was created to fight Nazis. YOu dont get much tougher than a one man anti-nazi army. And yes ive seen the old ass comic of Superman parachuting in to germany to help out in WWII but honestly, why would Superman need a fucking parachute.

I conclude my counter point with the two most spine tingling words ever printed in a comic.

"Hulk Smash!"
