So it’s only a few weeks away people. That’s right, you know what I’m talking about. "Batman v. Superman" comes out in exactly two weeks from now. Now I’ll admit I’ve been debating on whether or not I’m that hype to see it since I feel they revealed a lot in the trailers they’ve been showing, but then I realized I’m too much of a nerd to turn down a superhero movie so I’m going. Well anyway a few good days ago a friend of mine asked if I wanted to write an article asking who was better: Batman or Superman? So that’s where I come in folks. I’m here to tell you the three reasons why I think Batman is better than Superman.
1. Batman is a better fighter.
2. Batman is a genius.
3. Batman's character is just better!
Yes I know, Superman has almost every damn super power from super strength to shooting laser beams out his ass (OK I might have made that last one up but you get the point). But one thing he isn’t good at is fighting. I mean come on just look at Superman’s fighting style. He just punches and throws things at people. Now Batman on the other hand is a master in almost every form of martial arts known to man. Ever since he was young he has trained with monks and other martial arts masters to become as skilled as possible when it comes to hand to hand combat. Superman may have powers, but without those Batman is whooping his ass in a street fight.
Look I’m not saying that Superman isn’t a smart guy or anything, but he ain’t got shit on Batman. Not only has he studied almost every field of science possible, but he is also known to be one of the greatest detectives in the DC universes. Hell if Batman were real he would have probably found out who shot 2pac. Batman is also a skilled strategist as well. He can analyze any bad situation and find a way to get his way out of it. Now tell me that ain’t cool.
Look I know Superman was created as a symbol of hope during his time period and that’s why he remains such an important icon in comics today, but come on people that’s all he has going for him. Superman was always too perfect to me and they made it seem like he could do no wrong. But Batman has a dark origin to him that makes his motives of becoming a super hero more complex. Not saying I don’t like super heroes with dark orgins, I’m just saying it makes me more intrigued to read about them. So say what you want about Superman, but I’m team Batman all day baby. Peace.
