Why Batman is a Better Hero Than Superman

April 27, 2007

  1. Batman is a mortal while Superman is virtually invincible. Who knows the pain of living better than a mortal? Batman knows he can be in mortal peril but still he surges on to face danger in order to fight for what is right. Superman will not easily be in mortal peril (unless he lets Lex Luthor to stick kryptonite into him) and he knows it, and that’s why he’s confident to confront danger, not because he’s as brave as Batman.
  2. Batman is brains and brawn (gadgets + strategy + strength). He sets up a strategy: what weapons/gadgets to bring, what transport to use, etcetera. Superman just flies, lifts, throws…all brawn (just in case, you want to be more correct, the word “brawn” isn’t exactly appropriate for Superman because his powers aren’t the result of how well-developed his muscles are. He’s an alien, dammit).
  3. Batman dresses in cool goth black colors; Superman always dresses in country flag colors. Black briefs will always be sexy; red briefs look sexy on lifeguards only.
  4. Batman is an entrepreneur. His businesses generate jobs and incomes for many people who work for him. His work contributes a lot to the improvement of the economy. Superman is a reporter. Enough said.
  5. Batman represents what people can become if they really strive and work hard, and to be better than his previous self while Superman represents the things most people want to have: superpowers, to be better than everybody else. Of the two, I think Batman represents what humanity should be striving for. People must look deep within themselves, amidst the fears, and find the strength to do good. Superman only inspires people to look up into the sky when in deep shit and pray that they’ll receive help coming down from the sky.
