Originally posted by SquallXhe's not entirely wrong though. There's a very big difference between Batman pissing off Darkseid and Superman pissing off Darkseid. One of them doesn't stand even a snowball's chance in hell of winning and the other does.
Comics, movies, animated, Batman is still a narcissist.
Right. And Superman has a ridiculous amount of pressure on him.
Why do you think there's more "evil Supermen" then Batmen? Probably because Batman has a lot less to lose, and isn't literally putting the entire weight of the world on his shoulders. Just look at what it did to him failing to save some Astronauts in Hitman.
Supermans courage isn't about what can happen to him, it's about what can happen to everyone else.

That doesn't make Superman any less brave, considering how powerful Darkseid is, and has been portrayed as.
one guy uses gas grenades and bat shaped boomerangs. The other can incinerate planets with his heat vision, move planets with his strength, perceive things in attoseconds, and can further amp himself with one of the most common celestial bodies around.

And either one of them is still fighting a being that has on occasion dwarfed them both in power, and could kill either of them. If anything it makes Batman just appear more crazy than he already is.
Not to mention that nobody expects Batman to win. There's no pressure on him? Superman HAS to save the day. It's pretty much expected of him. Batman doesn't take personal responsibility for six billion lives, wheres Superman has and does. You can say it's a different kind of bravery, but I find it hard to believe you can say it's any less impressive.

Well,
Spoiler:
Batman raping Deathstroke and Deadshot at the same time was a bit too much.
I got the trade for Christmas; it's one of the best Batman stories I've read in a while, and it doesn't fall apart towards the end like Court of Owls did.

Yep. 👆
I believe he existed before that, but that's the story I had in mind. You actually feel sorry for Charles "Chuck" Brown, who has the most perfect name ever.
Was Deathstroke even Deathstroke during Batmans second year?
Still, it's not all that bad if you consider DS and DS were fighting it out non stop over several DAYS. Even under Wolfman, he let Batman take down Slade via ambush in his own comic (Perhaps he was forced to have them trade wins by editorial, but it happened..)
