when it comes to DC Comics is two most
popular superheroes only one can truly
reign supreme
thinking above the law the Daily Planet
criticizing noses linked to above the
laws hypocritical welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 reasons
why Batman is better than Superman
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
comparing Gotham’s protector to the last
Son of Krypton to determine what it is
that makes Batman a more compelling
character overall than Superman there
must be reason for you to be you
yes you’re to fight for truth and
justice in the American Way number 10
he’s a deeper character it’s not who I
am underneath what I do that defines
fighting for truth justice and the
American Way
oh and all Superman’s a pretty likable
guy he does what’s right and always
fights the good fight
wow that’s admirable and all it doesn’t
leave the Man of Steel with nearly as
much room for dramatic depth as Batman
what the choices he makes and
consequences he faces Batman is a
morally complex figure for the morgue
behind all of his wealth and bat gadgets
he’s a pretty troubled guy having
experienced painful loss and traumatic
events more times than any one person
should basically Supes is awesome but
Batman’s just a bit more complex to them
you’re just a freak like me
number 9 Bruce Wayne is cooler than
Clark Kent Clark is programmed series in
order to protect his identity kal-el
lives day-to-day as mild-mannered
reporter Clark Kent it makes sense you
people would stop to consider the fact
that this unassuming man bears a
striking resemblance to Superman
oh boy I was wondering if perhaps you
could arrange for half my salary that
you could be sent to this address on a
weekly basis albeit effective it costs
Supes more than a few cool points when
compared to Batman bailius Bruce Wayne
when not defending the city pass is able
to return to a comfortable lifestyle as
a respected philanthropic public figure
Japanese oh you know because of ugh
don’t get us wrong journalism super
respectable but if you were to live as
one of the two alter egos for a day
which would you choose the journalists
for the billionaire playboy hey on that
note there’s the superhero and there’s
the alter ego
number eight you’ve got sexier lady
friend well I wish I could say that my
interest in you with purely professional
it would seem that women gravitate
towards the mysterious bad boy after all
Superman has a solid thing going with
Lois Lane which is totally nice and
everything but Batman’s a real
Ladykiller am i right Vicki Bale and
silver st. cloud are just two standouts
in a long list of beautiful romantic
interests what’s perhaps the most
interesting however are the female
supervillains in his little black book
Talia al Ghul maybe one of his deadliest
both but the two have shared some
seriously steamy moments in various
continuities of course Batman’s on
again-off again relationship with a sex
evil and turned antihero Catwoman
single-handedly Trump’s pretty much any
of Superman’s romantic interests some
things you can’t do alone
number seven is a Batmobile chicks dig
the car do you really need to go into
this one Batmobile is awesome it’s a
freakin sweet car dude heck the vehicle
is decked out with so many gadgets and
gizmos that we’re Batman feeling
particularly lazy one night he could
very well fight off crime from inside
his car I’ve gotta catch me one of those
the Batmobile is nearly as iconic as
Batman himself with most interpretations
from over the years bringing something
new or exciting to his historic ride
anyone ever tells you that their dream
car is a Camaro a Mustang or a Ferrari
sir totally lying dude everyone wants a
Batmobile as for the super mobile well
the less said about the better but
technically it’s cannon so number six he
has a better secret lair to the Batcave
we get it being a superhero must be
exhausting and sometimes you just want a
little alone time time to yourself but
come on
fortress of solitude that’s a little on
the nose right Clark not only is the
location remote and Gannet chilly but
the interior is in desperate need of an
update it’s just kind of like glass and
ice and shit we’re not saying that a
cave is any more glamorous but just look
at all the cool stuff he has Batcave
more like man cave on my rights pretty
cool a supercomputer a wardrobe of
situation-specific bat costumes even an
at-home gym just happen off the term bat
cave just rolls off the tongue better oh
my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh
oh my gosh
number five he’s got the bad family
figured you could use a hand Batman may
have the whole brooding loner image to
preserve but he’s amassed quite the
extended family over the years while
many an eyebrow have been raised as to
his habit of taking him young boys under
his cape there’s no denying that these
various young vigilantes have all
contributed to his overall appeal each
new Robin has brought something new to
the table evolving into the likes of
Nightwing Red Hood and Red Robin then he
got various fat girls fat woman hunters
and so on and last but certainly not
least there’s Alfred don’t worry monster
life
takes a little time did their villagey
things meanwhile over at the fortress of
solitude Superman has a dog and his
cousin and then one of his clones not
bad but certainly no competition for the
bat fam number four he has a better
origin story George that’s fine take it
easy
here’s a condensed version of Superman’s
origin after his home goes kablooey his
parents sent him to our planet and he
becomes our protector we want to get
along mentally humans list now let’s
take a gander at Batman after seeing his
parents shot to death in a back alley
Bruce Wayne dedicates his life to
striking fear into the hearts of
criminals everywhere do you still feel
responsible for your poster my anger out
where’s my girl so we ask you of these
two gentlemen whose backstory interests
you more whose reason for protecting the
innocent is more appealing more
believable the guy who does it because
he can or the one who transformed
himself into the ultimate crime fighter
because he needed to stop the world from
feeling the pain he was felt Superman’s
origin story is still better than most
superheroes but Batman’s truly defines
him as a character I wouldn’t sure what
happened to me it would never happen to
anyone else again
revenge number three he has a way better
rogues gallery let’s not stand on
ceremony here mr. Wayne not much
explanation needed here but let’s get a
quick highlight reel of Batman’s
plethora of villain you ready
okay so Joker twoface Mr Freeze penguin
Catwoman Ra’s al Ghul eight Riddler
scarecrow Killer Croc Hugo Strange shall
we go on we already said the Joker
anyway whatever each of these characters
seem to play off of that men’s strengths
and weaknesses in their own way ensuring
satisfying confrontations every single
time Superman’s got General Zod Brainiac
and Lex Luthor three formidable foes to
be sure but the list basically goes
downhill from there in terms of both
quantity and quality
Batman’s list of villains just knocks it
out of the park no contest here see I’m
not a monster
I’m just ahead of the curve number two
he can beat Superman gosh
if Superman were watching this he likely
be a little ticked off but we stand by
the point sure Superman is faster than a
speeding bullet and all a jazz but give
Batman a little time to formulate a plan
of attack and even god-like beings such
as Superman can be taken down we don’t
have to do this sure we do you see
Batman has just as much brain that he
does brought and by human standards he’s
got a whole lot of brawn too Superman
can move as many mountains as he wants
like if all bats he finds a weakness
that he can exploit you better believe
that he will and Supes well he’s already
got more than one contingency plan
waiting for you but a number one he
doesn’t need superpowers that’s a symbol
I can be incorruptible when you take
away the Cape in the cowl Batman is
technically just a regular guy sure he’s
a regular guy that knows tons of martial
arts and has a bunch of expensive
technology at his disposal but anyway we
digress Superman is functionally
invincible so of course he can do what
he does Batman technically only human he
can bleed you can die he saw was wrong
with the world and willingly chose to
put himself well beyond his limits in
order to make it better
this grounds him closer to reality and
thus closer to the rest of us he is
somewhat relatable with clearly defined
limitation who despite being fictional
pushes us to better ourselves than you
know hoping we were just born that way
