Point, Counterpointless
Both Sides of the Argument- The Right One and the Wrong One

I’ve watched thousands of hours of cartoons in my lifetime and have been exposed to nearly as many superheroes. When it’s all said and done, however, there are only two crime fighters who pose indomitable forces; Batman and Superman.

Who would win in a battle between these two? Good question; let’s explore a little more.

Three assumptions must be made about this epic. The tumult takes place on Earth, only weapons or special powers previously known in the superhero universe are permitted, and it is a fight to the death.

Superman wins!

Blog’s over. What, you need an explanation? Weak-minded earthlings.

First of all, Superman is actually super-human, or Kryptonian if you will. So unless you plan on moving our solar system around another star or plan on moving the melee out of our solar system, and consequently, off of earth directly in violation of rule #1, Superman can’t be beat.

What can Batman do that Superman can’t? Batman is a wealthy guy with a bunch of high priced toys. He’s Bill Gates meets MacGyver meets the Governator. Virtually every weapon in his Bat-cave is an imitation of some natural ability Superman possesses.

Batman has a plane. Superman flies. Batman has Kevlar armor. Superman has impervious skin. Batman has bionicle vision. Superman has x-ray vision (always cool with the ladies…) and laser eyes. Batman has fast cars and motorcycles. Superman runs faster than a speeding bullet. Batman lives in a cave. That’s right a cave. Nothing says I’m a hero like, “Hey babe, I just finished fighting some crime and was thinking we should have a few drinks and go back to my cave.” Superman has a frikkin’ Ice Palace. Enough said.

How do you kill them? You can’t kill Superman without finding some Kryptonite. Good luck with that. How long would it take Superman to remove Batman’s mask and end his mortal life? Not long.

The only edge that Batman has is alter-ego. Bruce Wayne is certainly cooler than Clark Kent, but…..Bruce Wayne is still human. Even though he looks like a dork, Clark Kent is really just Superman without the tights. If some crime breaks out, he’s ready without any trips home to the cave. AND- thanks to his super powers in the boudaire, Clark would be that guilty secret all the ladies talk about…he’s like the energizer bunny- except for the drum, batteries, pink fur, and being a bunny.
