aibu to say that batman is not actually a superhero?

[spookshowangel]

because he doesn't have any super powers. seems obvious to me he is a vigilant style hero with cool gadgets.
seriously if having coll gadgets made you a super hero then bond would be one...am i wrong?

"but you have him and superman naked in a fight we all know batman is going down"

Aside from he fact I'm so sure there's fanfic about that somewhere...

Superman was a product of the Comics Code so is far too wholesome to get naked and fight anyway. Whereas Batman would play dirty and win by some other genius means!

and the batmobile mycat that is a sexy car

iron man injected himself with organic bio nano thingys which gave him the ability to heal quicker, is that what you mean?

did you not see the last film, stalking and legitimate children all over the shop. superman has changed lol.

I'm fairly sure that if you're wearing an outfit as silly as his you're either walking the runway for a fashion student or a super hero.

"and the batmobile mycat grin that is a sexy car"

I hope you are referring to the one in the comics? The film version is ugly as hell.

yy cool wheels

I like the one in the films :( - especially when a rubbery christian bale is in charge of it....mmmmmmmmm

" lets be fair he has millions of pounds to buy fantastic suits that make him harder to kill etc and gadgets that make him good in a fight but you have him and superman naked in a fight we all know batman is going down because he may have buffed up. but there is no super in him just science."

But Superman is not a man, is he, he's an alien. On his own planet he's not got any special powers, he is way bog-standard. All his abilities are because he is not a man at all - so definitely not a super one!

(overthinks, possibly)

I go for the super-hero and super-powers are not the same thing. Batman is a super-hero but without any super-powers.

You can keep your Batmans and Supermans, give me Wolverine anyday

ok but the hulk or peter parker or wolverine are human and would kick his ass butt naked preferable but what means is with out any aid of gadgets etc though i suppose wolverines only actual power is his healing the adamantum was added later.

oooh but batman is all broody and dark :) i do like that in a man...... (or bat)

4yo dd explains this all very patiently to me. Batman is NOT a superhero. He's also a bit rubbish she tells me. She likes The Punisher.

oh punisher is a bit rubbish she isnt wrong.

DH points out that super-villains often don't have any super-powers.

Viz Lex Luthor, the Joker etc etc

yeah thats just rubbish too.

Psylocke is sexier than any male superhero!!
Although I suppose I could lay down whilst Batman did his 'thang', and maybe the Punisher...he's cool acos he's an anti-hero.

Personally I prefer Black Orchid as drawn by Dave McKean

Superhero - A benevolent fictional character with superhuman powers, such as Superman (Google)

So, you are absolutely NBU spooks. Batman is just James Bond in rubber.

Isn't Jesse Custer an anti-hero, like John Constantine and Spike?

Oh I'd agree (with a small s ) but I think he'd disagree :P

I'd rather have him on my side than Batman.
