To think that Batman is cooler than any superhero?

That's about it really. Batman is awesome, superman is an overgrown boyscout, the green lantern is defeated by yellow, and all the flash does is run a bit.

Batman has a cave and a car and gadgets galore! And black is way cooler than the whole red undies over blue leotard look.

I'm obviously not BU but let's just have a bit of a Batman love in for a while :)

I'm Batman!
And robin is my biatch. I dress him in bright colours so people shoot at him while I blend into the shadows and eat broken biscuits...

SPsFanjoLovesBrokenBiscuits · 22/06/2012 23:38

Batman ain't touching biscuits of that form!

manicbmc · 23/06/2012 00:35

Mystery Men for the win.

Best non-super heroes ever. In the world.

Cynner · 23/06/2012 01:34

You all are sexist fools! Catwoman rules and is sexyhot in that one piece leather get up..

SillyBeardyBatman · 23/06/2012 06:24

manic did you watch that film at all? Awesome power of fury? The ability to shovel better than any other man? To be able to throw silverware with unerring accuracy? Invisibility?

Quite clearly superheroes Wink

SillyBeardyBatman · 23/06/2012 06:25

cynner believe me I've got no issues with catwoman! Or wonderwoman...

BatmanLovesCheese · 23/06/2012 07:19

YANBU, clearly!

SillyBeardyBatman · 23/06/2012 07:28

Holy cheese Batman!

  • Don't forget The Bowler :D

And The Sphinx (he's terribly mysterious!)

Thinking about it, how many actual superheros are there?

X-men = mutants
Superman = alien
Batman/Ironman = rich men with lots of toys
Thor = God

I guess Hulk and Spiderman probably are as they became 'super' after accidents that altered their bodies but I can't think of any others right now!

SillyBeardyBatman · 23/06/2012 07:54

To take it to a base level, the super in superhero is for supernatural, so anyone with powers beyond the norm is technically a supe. This includes the X-Men, aliens such as superman and the Martian manhunter, gods and even the green lanterns who have a supreme sense of will beyond that of the rest of humanity.

Spiderman is the coolest.

germyrabbit · 23/06/2012 11:04

spiderman is the coolest

SPsFanjoLovesBrokenBiscuits · 23/06/2012 11:06

Robin all the way!

germyrabbit · 23/06/2012 11:13

i saw robin on a unicycle the other day in palmers green

SoleSource · 23/06/2012 11:16

That had to be an impersonator germyrabbit or was it? Shock

SPsFanjoLovesBrokenBiscuits · 23/06/2012 11:18

Robin on a unicycle. See Batman doesn't have that talent

hotheels · 23/06/2012 11:20

Have to say that I'm not really into the whole super hero thing. Until dark knight Christian Bale came along! Oh yes he definitely! Any time and any place.

SillyBeardyBatman · 23/06/2012 11:27

Batman doesn't need a unicycle, he has a batcycle. Two wheels are better than one! Twice as good!

manicbmc · 23/06/2012 11:28

Banana man!

DandyDan · 23/06/2012 12:14

Batman is best
Iron Man second-best

lilypainter · 23/06/2012 12:18

Pah.

Iron Man.

And SillyBeardyDaddyman, the X-men are both genetic mutants and superheroes.

BloodyCrossRoads · 23/06/2012 12:23

Iron Man is way cooler because he's hot

Anyway, I always preferred Joker over Batman - something about that bad guy/psycho image that always turns me on.

SPsFanjoLovesBrokenBiscuits · 23/06/2012 12:26

bloody joker is better then Batman. I agree!

TangerinePuppet · 23/06/2012 12:41

Spiderman in the 1970s cartoon series was a dude!

SillyBeardyBatman · 23/06/2012 12:43

How does Spiderman go for a piss? That suit doesn't seem to have a flap...
