(#172) Alex: Advice on Batman vs. Superman

Alex
Q: Alex, why do you still refuse to admit that Batman is the ultimate superhero? He has expanded his natural abilities through years of vigorous physical and intellectual training. And don’t even get me started on his magnificent inventions . . .

By way of comparison, Superman was born that way. He wouldn’t have even been considered super if he had lived his entire life on his own planet. In light of this information, how can you persist in your belief that Superman is the ultimate superhero?

P.S. Your sports equipment is spreading towards my side of the room again.

A: Nice try, Brian. I still maintain that the best superheroes are defined by their amazing superpowers and how they use them for the common good. Gadgets and training just can’t compare, in my opinion. I respect Batman, but I still believe that Superman rules.

P.S. Let’s not relive the “my side/your side” debate of 2003. Nothing good can come of that.
