Spider-Man is just better in my opinion. I grew up with both Bats and Spidey, but I love EVERYTHING about Spider-Man.
Batman is amazing too. Batman and Spidey are my fave comic book characters of all time.
I was always a huge fan of Batman, but Spider-Man actually got me into taking that next step and made me a comic book lunatic. For that reason, and the fact my opinion has never changed, my fave hero will always be Spider-Man, with Batman a fraction behind, but as far as they both go, they are both waaaaaaay ahead in my good books next to every other superhero.
Yeah i think batman is possibly the best hero. If it werent for his gadgets. His gadgets annoy the shit out of me most of the time. Bruce will always develop a gadget to combat his immediate threat. Other than this minor flaw, Batman is the man because he uses intelligence and human ability to be the hero he is. His never kill attitude has even been proven to have no grounds when pushed to far. Alot of people say that batman is batman just because of his money, and would be a thug hero like punisher if he never inherited it. Well it is true he inherited a few million dollars, but one of his gadgets cost a few million alone. Bruce used his intelligence to keep his business thriving. He earned all of his money. this intelligence and will proves Bruce was destined for greatness.

i agree with everything u say as I don't believe in this 'batman is shit without his money' idea. Like I said before, Money was NOT his motivational force,it is NOT the thing that drives him to go out and fight on the streets,it is NOT the cause he denies himself peace of mind and love. Money is merely an aid to his quest. Sure his life as Batman is easier with it, but it is not dependant on it.

Re: Batman is Better!
He is just friggin cool
Tall, dark, and spooky.
Well, Batman is better because he is a crime fighter that uses detective skills and lot's of logic to catch criminals. I'm sure most superheroes are great educated individuals, but what separates Batman from the rest is his style! Batman doesn't have any superpowers (He doesn't need them anyways!) and that's makes him better! You don't need superpowers to fight crime. All he needs is his intellect mind to defeat his foes. He is an icon and simply the best.
...an opinion can't be wrong...anyWAY i hate him because he's just frankly boring....no superpowers therefore is NOT a superhero, just a normal guy...for me the idea of superhero's in comics/in stories/in movies is someone who's above what we can be, someone who's beyond what humans can imagine in reality..all batman does is introduce a character with great intellect, tact, fighting ability, and gagdets...if i wanted to watch someone use these four things i'd watch a ninja fight...doesn't make for anything interesting for me...
it's just more interesting to watch hero's pull off amazing things using their powers....notice the word powers
oh and if i wanted to see a comic book hero without any powers i'd go to the punisher, he basically suffers from the same torment batman goes through and uses gadets (and guns) to defeat crime...and at least he doesn't try to fly and wear a suite with pointy ears.
I was ... not joking, exactly, but not being all that serious. Still, I completely disagree with everything you say (except for the part where you say you prefer the Punisher; I'll take your word for that). Me and some other people went over the whole "can you be a superhero without powers thing" at great length, so I won't start that up again.
Honestly, I think it's far more interesting to see people pull off amazing things using their intelligence and training than to see people pull of amazing things because they were given powers by eating moldy bread or something.
I'm not convinced, incidently, that wearing a shirt with a skull on it is any more dignified than wearing a suit with pointy ears. I've always thought it made him look like a groupie for a death metal band or something, but that's just me.

i guess it just depends on if you prefer watching intelligent/tact over power, similarly if you prefer watching jeopardy over fearfactor.
i just think it's more interesting to watch something amazing, unbelievable, magical even, over watching some dude figure out some puzzle to beat his opponent...just doesn't make for very entertaining media i don't think
and i think a white skull is def more dignified and frankly cooler than a suite with pointly ears made to look like bat ears...

Yes as a matter of fact it is interesting to watch people with superpowers, because as you said it is almost magical. But with these magical feats we already know the magic and how it is going to be used. It is as if you have seen the ending of the match before it even begins. Because the superhero with his or her power will always win because they just discovered that they had other abilities.
But with a match with someone without superpowers the posibility for victory is less than none. Because one slip up and you are dead. There are no powers to protect the first time around. It is even more magical, No... interesting to see how this person is going to get out of this situation alive. Because this person will have to go through different tactics while trying to stay alive. Attacks have to planned tratigically or else (you see in his world death is a constant)
And yes the white skull is dignified but there is no way it is cooler than the bat suit. Its like saying war machine's suit is crap compared to craven the hunter.
Punisher's outfit is so damn unoriginal and it isn't even anywhere near 'cool'!Batman's costume is a classic. I think I've said this before but I think Batman is the only superhero out there who gets away with wearing tights and pointy bat ears and still looks damn hot!

Super power heroes always ALWAYS depend on their powers to fight crime. Whereas The Dark Knight uses his HUMAN mind and body to fight criminals! Batman doesn't have the strength of Superman or Spider Man (even though he is a scientist), but he is far more smarter than those two put together. Batman doesn't need superpowers he is far more powerful with his mind, and detective skills!
