Superman should never have had a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend, for that matter.Anyone ever read that short essay by Larry Niven called Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex?
It's about what Clark and Lois's actual physical relationship would be like. He points out that Supe's microscopic sperm would tunnel holes right through her girly bits on the way out the other side of her and sepsis yadda yadda.
Superman is a lousy superhero.Superman should never have had a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend, for that matter.
"You will look like them..... but you are NOT one of them...."

Superman is a lousy superhero.
If you can't hurt him, it's uninteresting to me. There's no drama because there's no threat.
There, I said it
Superman might be my favorite superhero. He stands alone. I like that he is essentially totally invincible and can pretty much atomise anyone or anything instantly, but that immediately resorting to overwhelming violence to fix problems is not his way. I like the whole "you will give them an ideal to aspire to" shtick. Superman is way more interesting than Batman to me. Superman I have a lot of empathy for, Batman is just an overgrown emo kid who needs to cheer up.Superman is a lousy superhero.

I grew up reading Marvel comics but Batman is awesome. No super powers, just a martial arts killer detective. He's like 007.Yup.
Thats the problem with all DC heroes. They are basically omnipotent, Batman aside. The lack of peril renders it useless.
Batman has no super powers? Lol.I grew up reading Marvel comics but Batman is awesome. No super powers, just a martial arts killer detective. He's like 007.

Know what, Supe isn't totally invincible, forgot about stupid gay Kryptonite.Superman might be my favorite superhero. He stands alone.

And magic!Know what, Supe isn't totally invincible, forgot about stupid gay Kryptonite.
Spider-Man.Lol. I am literally the polar opposite to you.
Cannot stand Superman and his preachy Godness.
Batman is probably my favourite comic strip character.
It's out of character, for sure. I pretty much always cheer for the bad guy. Even as a little kid, the Emperor was by far my favourite character in Star Wars. I used to switch ROTJ off when Vader picked him up to chuck him down the reactor shaft, and I just pretended that never happened and the Emporer crushed the rebellion, killed all the stupid Ewoks and goody-two-shoes rebels, and ruled the galaxy happily ever after.Lol. I am literally the polar opposite to you.

Are you an immigrant, or do you come from an immigrant family? Wonder if that plays into it at all.Lol. I am literally the polar opposite to you.

I'm first gen Aussie, but my cultural homeland is on the other side of the planet. I look like an Anglo Aussie, but I'm not. I've never been to the Netherlands, only heard older relatives talk about it. Now it's repeated in New Zealand. I have always had one foot in either camp, but not fully invested in either.
I'm an Aussie born and bred, but a lot of white-Australian cultural touchstones and traditions mean nothing to me, as I never participated. Culturally I am very familiar with Dutch language, food, social graces etc, but I've never been there. Superman is neither fully human, nor properly Kryptonian. I wonder if that instinctively speaks to some part of the immigrant psyche in a way that it doesn't speak to someone who is third or fourth or fifth gen. ?

Spiderman is better than Batman, sure.Nobody cares about your countries
Spider-man is awesome
Decide for yourselves whether I'm right or so very right
Look: It's Spider-Man, not one word.Spiderman is better than Batman, sure.

Batman is a sook, and an asshole.Look: It's Spider-Man, not one word.
I actually have respect for Batman, he's vulnerable. Psychologically brittle.
The Dark Knight Returns really helped me get into his story.
If you're gonna pull threads on super hero back stories, every tapestry unravels.Batman is a sook, and an asshole.
First, yeah that sucks to see your parents murdered in front of you. But 30 years later, you STILL can't crack a smile about anything?
You have a net worth that is eleven figures, you're community minded, your whole thing is reducing crime in Gotham, you're willing to spend tens of billions, and....... you've decided the best way to spend the money is to dress up in a costume, use one of a kind military tech that your company has developed just for you in secret, and go out on the streets at night by yourself to punch random street hoodlums in the face?
Uhhhhhh....... how about putting money into Gotham's schools, or building community centres, or developing the infrastructure, or investing in urban renewal projects?
