Asking who has been the better mentor.
Keeping it to Xavier's original 5 students (Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Angel, Iceman) and Batman's 4 main Robins (Dick, Jason, Tim, Damien).
Who overall taught their charges best?
Who prepared them best for their missions?
Which of their charges has gone on to the better individual careers?
Which have fallen farthest?
Which have been the best team players?
Which are regarded most highly by their superhuman communities?
Stuff like that.
1) I'd say batman taught his charges best,
2) Xavier prepared them better,comes with the whole 'hated and feared' dilemma, plus his knack for downloading mission details directly into their brains
3) Xavier fell far more than batman did,the whole Vulcan fiasco,Scott fell due to the phoenix, Bobby due to apocalypse, beast became a piece of crap,Jean went dark phoenix too....etc
4) Scott had the most successful career overall, even when you include the phoenix dilemma
5) The 05 were together longer,and had tons of teams between them,plus their varied Powers make them better team players
6) Xavier is more relatively widely respected, with the institute and the Xmen formation
