There you go focusing on powers again like everyone that talks about how OP Superman is instead of what makes the character who they are.PapaGreg096 said:
Look, you want to say you don't like Batman, that's fine. I don't like Superman all that much, but I know and understand why people like him, he's just not my thing when he's off doing his own thing or having a minor crossover.(Justice League he provides a balance not many other DC characters can, so I like him there from time to time)
So you're going to tell me you don't have childhood trauma(or "trauma" as the case may be)? That you don't have something you're interested in improving in yourself? That you don't have any friends or family that have experienced some amount of loss to change from who or what they used to be? That you don't have any desire to make things better around you?TrulyBritish said:
Doing the best you can is at least a third of what Batman is to alot of people. As much as people like Superman, he's still something you cannot attain purely on the basis of him being not human. He may have grown up and practically been born here, but the guy's on another level that DC humans and even most metahumans can't attain. Batman, on the other hand, is. You may not be as rich as he is or as deductive. You may never be as fit or as experienced. You probably will never feel anywhere near as guilty as he does or anywhere near as in need of treatment.
But it's about self-improvement and wanting yourself and things to be better through your own efforts. The majority of his powers are because he worked his ass off, not because the sun shines yellow. He got to where he is through effort. Superman is about maintenance and pulling from the ideal that's already been realized. Batman is about constant work to reach an ideal that may need to be tweaked the further along you are.
I just find working towards something more interesting than something that is already around.
