She could be considered Superman's "helper." Does that mean he is insecure about his masculinity?

I saw the Supergirl movie many, many years ago. I don't remember from that how she ties in with Superman.
If she is his helper, that would make Superman insecure about his masculinity. This point is re-inforced by the fact that he wears his underwear over his pants -- an attempt to re-assure the public that he does not wear panties. Ofcourse, we know what he wears over his pants, but do we really know what he wears under them? Does he go commando? Why am I continuing along this line of thought? <spits> However, Batman is still an idiot -- this point must not be forgotten. And Robin is also an idiot. |

Oh, and take a look at how angered Superman gets when Louis dies. I don't care who you are, Batman or not, but you're going to want to get the hell out of his way...

I wonder.....
Probably saw that there was actually a force defending superman and all ran off. I'm for Superman by the way. I mean anyone who could whisk me off my feet and take me above the clouds without needing a parachute gets my vote

Superman is cool. I'll give you that. But Batman has the great nicknames: The Dark Knight and the Detective. I fail to see how and idiot could be called the Detective. Doing the kind of work he does one could hardly call him an idiot.

When Superman fights he levels half the city (goodness knows what the citizens of Metropolis pay in taxes).
When Batman fights an occasional statue may be chipped by a stray Batermarang Batman prevents crime............Superman punishes the perpatrator Batman is a fully paid-up citizen. Superman is an illegal alien who forged his documentation (his adoptive parents should be serving a hefty jail sentence ) Last edited by Coney : 11-11-2002 at 07:50 PM. |

Supermans arch enemy (Lex Luthor) has no super-powers, yet time and again he defeats Superman.

Not to mention that Batman kicks Supermans ass several times in the comics. When it comes to brawn vs brains, Batman wins everytime. Superman's still caught up in that whole patriotic bullshit.

Those comic writers are homeless paedophiles. So it's easy to see that they would come up with such blasphemous storylines.
I don't think I've ever read a Superman comic. Or Batty-boy. Or Spidey. Perhaps I should. On the other hand, I don't think I'd be able to handle too easily the transition from my current study of the alleged independant sources of the historical Jeebus, to such material. If you've read John P. Meier, you'll know what I'm talking aboot (<-- Canadian accent for flavor). |

Which leads me to another point: what are the odds that a planet with intelligent life will produce creatures exactly like humans in every way except that they get superpowers just by standing in the light? How believable is that? |

I still think that the outcome depends on the type of conflict the two engage in.

I don't see what you have against bat ears. They're kinda sexy.
I'm sorry, but I just don't subscribe to that whole clean cut American hero bullshit; gimme angst ridden Batman any day. Which Robin are you referring to? There *is* more than one in the comics. (Although, I'll grant that Robin got shortchanged in the costume dept...) And Batman wouldn't level half the city, because he's got more brains than Superman, and would think of a more efficient plan. (C'mon, Batman mopped the pavements with Superman.)

No matter what I do, I cannot for the life of me think of any scenario in which Batty-boy (and team mate "momma dresses me" Robin) wipes the pavement with Superman.
But I must admit that I don't know why they had to make Superman an American hero. For Jeebus sakes, he came from Krypton, he just happened to land in damn Smallville (btw one of my coleagues at works looks like a 7 year older version of that reporter wannabe chick from the series...). Sheesa hahdy! Oh, btw, after checking out the review of the first draft of the Superman V movie script, I must say that I WILL NOT be watching that film. For the love of ERU's underwear, they wanted Lex Luthor to be a CIA agent who turns out to be a Kryptonian, sent to destroy Kal-el, and then they have a martial-art fight in mid-air. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! Oh, and Jor-el actually came to Earth and chose his son's foster parents (how lame is that -- almost as lame as Batty-boy's batty-ears). And Krypton didn't blow up. Cr#P. |
