Why Nolan's Batman is the greatest Super Hero of all time

Started by Combat_Guru2 pages

Earlier Bruce says no one is beyond saving, but he soon learns thats not the case, Ra's convinced him, and he won.

But what didn't kill Bruce, made him stronger, this Batman might not be crazy enough to be perfect, but he is smart enough to change.

"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up."

The deference between Bale's Batman, and Reeve's Superman is that,

Superman teaches people that he will stick up for them, so they don't have to stick up for themselves.

Batman teaches people to stick up for themselves.

And in the first movie, he said he wouldn't kill, but didn't have to save Ghul. In this one, he's starting to realize that he might have to kill in order to stop the Joker. a la, kill the Joker to stop him. But I'm sure that in the end, he'll stop him and the Joker will live.

He's not... I mean I like Nolan's Batman, but he ain;t my fave version. Not by a long shot

My point is, Batman is the greatest Super-Hero, whether it be Nolan's or not.

I say this because his basic principal is that you can be a hero without super powers, any man can stick up for himself, Superman teaches that you have to have powers, with his very decision not to give up his own.

BLAM Superman fanboys, in yo face!!!

Umm...when did Superman ever implied that? He himself has done things even without the use of his powers so what's your point?

Note: Batman is my favorite comic character, so this is NOT a knock at Batman...

Oh really? If Batman's basic principal is to tell you that you can be your own hero, how come every time there's a mugging, it's always Batman that has to save the people who could at least TRY to fend for themselves? I think Catwoman put it best with this line:

"You're always waiting for Batman to save you..."

If teaching someone to fend for themselves is the quality of the best hero, then Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson's character in "Death Wish"😉 is the best hero... He inspired all of New York City to fend for themselves and take the streets back from the muggers and rapists that plagued them... But he kills people, so I guess that he isn't allowed in the contest...

Superman is the best hero, period... He is the most honest, true good guy that ever existed in comic books...

imo, this is my list of "bests" (based on a set of criteria I chose myself)... (After Supes, no particular order)

1. Superman (protects people even when they hate him)
2. Paul Kersey (he inspired the population to fight back against crime)
3. Spider-Man (he also inspires people to fight back in his 1st movie)
4. Burton's Batman (he protects Gotham, despite his methods)
5. Nolan's Batman (he's a hypocrite, but he protects Gotham)

Batman is a hero without super powers, if thats not teaching people to use what they have to overcome tyranny, instead of what they want, then I don't know what is.

Superman has a pricipal, no matter what some comic books write, that pricipal is that he is a dominant force placed on this Earth to protect us.

And in that case, Batman is a more genuine hero, is he not?

I'll have to admit I don't like the idea of God, but I love the idea of Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ was willing to feel and try, and God was not.

I think Batman letting Ras die was stupid too because in my heart of hearts I know Batman would save the Joker's life if he could and the Joker is way more dangerous than Ras IMO

yeah none of the Batman movies really capture the true essence of Batman.Batman Begins comes the closest but its not entirely faithful to his character either because yeah he saves the joker all the time and he is his arch enemy.Hopefully in the next film, Batman will realise that no matter how evil they are,that he will start doing that in the next film.If he does,then it can be all forgotten about since you can strike it up to him just starting out and learning.

He doesn't even know the joker yet (in this movie)

Ras was very dangerous

I know he doesn't know the Joker yet I saw Batman Begins, lol. I'm just saying that Batman's nature in general is to save everybody. I don't believe he'd find a way to survive an imminent train crash and leave any of his enemies to die just to teach them a lesson. That's now how he operates.
