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!!!
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)
