Batman VS. Superman


I’m alien from a dead planet who’s able
to perform superhuman feats
versus an orphan with some control
issues welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be pitting the Man of Steel
against the Dark Knight to see which
superhero comes out on top on my world
it means hope on our top 10 DC
superheroes list Batman triumphed I
liked while Superman
due to his iconic status was our winner
for the top 10 superheroes of all time
list I hope this experience hasn’t put
any of you offline for this showdown
we’re evaluating these superheroes on
specific categories to see how well they
measure up against each other
blow him master hell round one origin
and motivation hi Bruce Wayne in this
corner we have the only son of wealthy
socialites Thomas and Martha Wayne brent
was very much loved by his parents and
raised to believe in the good of mankind
and society people less fortunate
possibly enduring very hard times
Bruce’s life was irrevocably changed the
night his parents were murdered in front
of his eyes from that day forward he
swore to fight the criminal element in
Gotham City eventually taking on the
mantle of the Batman
in the other corner we have young kal-el
also an only child and the son of Lara
and jor-el the foremost scientist on the
planet Krypton look how far my little
kal-el kal-el life was irrevocably
changed when his father rightly
predicted the destruction of their
planet and nobody listened and I tell
you that we must evacuate this planet
immediately sent to earth like some kind
of contemporary Moses we found in this
town’s adopted by Jonathan and Martha
Kent who named him Clark Kent and teach
him good old American values and a
strong sense of justice
there was much a child of Earth now as
you are of Krypton you can embody the
best of both worlds though both were
orphans destined for greatness this
round goes to the young kal-el because
well he’s a super-powered alien from
another planet winner Superman I feel
fine
round two alter ego Bruce Wayne when
you’re only human
fighting crime can take its toll so you
will need some time off to recharge your
batteries not today I found out what
Batman can’t do he can’t endure this no
one does this quite as well as
billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne you
enjoy your party Bruce some of us have
worked to do
you’d be careful generally unsatisfied
unless he’s sending one off to the
dentist for a new set of teeth
Bruce has to pretend to enjoy the
simpler pleasures in life as a wealthy
socialite after all dating supermodels
and driving extremely expensive cars can
be pretty tedious
yeah but Bruce takes it all in stride
kal-el doesn’t want to draw too much
attention to himself when he isn’t
saving the world from monstrous alien
invaders you’re blocking said Clark
oh sorry guilty so he took a job as a
humble newspaper reporter for The Daily
Planet as Clark Kent he is able to
maintain a relatively low-key lifestyle
and a simple but effective alter-ego
Lois why don’t you take Kent out to meet
everybody after just introduce him
around you’re starting with a favor
today and even though he hasn’t put much
effort into it people still haven’t
figured it out after all this time who
are you a friend or maybe they’re just
pretending not to notice the uncanny
resemblance oh uh can I take the airport
not unless you can fly yeah Clark Kent
may be fooling everyone around him but
Bruce Wayne is doing it in style and
more believably so and as such he takes
this round winner Batman
you have a thing for bent round three
sidekicks and allies holy rusted metal
Batman Oh over the years
Batman has racked up a pretty decent
cast of ancillary characters to assist
him at the drop of a hat
I want a Robin signal in the sky all
right I’m tired of living in your shadow
who knows how many different Robins
there have been one day Robin will fly
again and that’s excluding the bat girls
bat women bat boys and whoever else has
chosen to risk their lives to fight
alongside the coolest superhero in the
DC Universe and you are Batgirl
lovely PC what about that person or that
woman while not all of their careers
have ended well
all of them have sworn undying loyalty
to the Caped Crusader partners
ironically enough the last Son of
Krypton is more of a lone wolf choosing
to fight crime solo most of the time so
every now and then he’s joined by the
likes of Jimmy Olsen Jimmy Olsen
photographer or Krypto the Superdog when
he was younger
well let’s face it a sidekick would only
slow down someone who has that kind of
power bats takes this round with a TKO
winner Batman precisely Robin
round four crime-fighting when it comes
to fighting crime Bruce Wayne as Batman
has to develop all kinds of skills and
tricks to keep the streets clean yep
killer later we have work to do he is a
master of many different martial arts
both deadly and defensive and has a
genius-level intellect incredible
deductive capacities and possesses a
super advanced variety of gadgets
weapons and vehicles
with that kind of gear and know how
criminals are dealing with much more
than they bargained for when they face
off with the Dark Knight
when it comes to Superman it’d be easier
to list the powers he doesn’t have
instead of the ones he does let’s take a
look at the broader list flight super
strength heat vision super breath super
hearing and general and vulnerability
are just some of the things that kal-el
can do chief among these powers will be
your sight strengthen your hearing your
ability to propel yourself at almost
limitless speed
this isn’t including his super-powered
intellect and a whole bunch of subsets
to the bigger powers but let’s just say
that Supes doesn’t want to punch you
into oblivion huh let’s say he just
wants you to stop using your powers for
evil this is exactly what he does in the
animated film Superman versus the elite
my powers don’t put me above the law
instead of killing off the villain the
Man of Steel uses his heat vision to
lobotomize the nefarious Manchester
black which takes away his powers heat
vision focus through your pupils like a
scalpel instant lobotomy sorry bats but
with that many powers at his disposal
Superman could put away hundreds of
baddies before you’ve even left the
mansion winner Superman
this isn’t you you don’t do that I dunno
round 5 rogues gallery just a pussy
heaven looking for it’s chilly in here
it’s often said that a good villain is
what really makes the hero and never has
that been truer than for the world’s
greatest detective
from the Riddler to two-face and
everyone in between Batman has to face
external representations of what he
could have been if things were different
boo every one of his enemies represents
him in one way or another and his
ultimate antagonist is no exception why
so serious
the Joker is Batman’s opposite number
spreading chaos and terror wherever he
goes while bats attempts to keep order
and safety in Gotham if having an
opposite number makes the hero
interesting then Superman’s arch
villains have a lot to live up to that’s
different they have to be strong as he
is or else as dastardly as he is good
Superman will know Lex Luthor is a great
example of the latter as he schemes and
plans his way to riches and notoriety
all while trying to destroy the
meddlesome Kryptonian I don’t get its
kryptonite Superman little souvenirs the
old home town other baddies that have
met the man of tomorrow’s challenge
include doomsday whose strength actually
helped him kill Superman for a time
sorry Supes you’re bad guys maybe
stronger but Batman’s go deeper this
round goes to the Dark Knight it’s
simple we kill the Batman by a score of
three to two the winner is Batman maybe
Superman could incinerate the bat in the
time it takes him to put on his cowl but
in the popularity contest we have to go
with the clear winner I’m Batman was our
verdict like kryptonite to you you were
great in your day Superman
