Legends of the Dark Knight
Ok this blog is about something important about me: Batman vs. Superman.
My knowledge is based on some movies, and mostly on comic series.
Let's just accept that Superman is super powerful, super fast, super good; to cut the long story short, he is super-super; aand the Bat is just super cool.
A list of some diffrences:
1) Race: Superman is alien, Batman is human.
Ok, there is no discussion on this. But, Clark Kent had, and still has a much more normal life then Bruce Wayne. Bruce is surely not your average Joe, being the millionaire orphan and all, and on the other hand, Clark was just the farmboy before his superpowers manifested. So,
Childhood:
Superman: Landed on a meteor, no superpowers, farmboy, Smallville, loving family.
Batman: Born, no superpowers, millionaire, Gotham, family brutally murdered (and not by the Jocker mind you).
Adult life:
Superman: Married to a human, has a job, has a daylife, regular income, condo, crime fighting - world saving.
Batman: Very much unmarried with many dead girlfriends and a love interest with Catwoman, a very antisocial daylife, millionaire, château, crime fighting - world saving.
Old times:
Superman: Long white hair, alone hermit life, agriculture.
Batman: White hair, broken bones and metallic skeleton, crime fighting - world saving.
So, to sum up:
Childhood: Superman: normal - Batman: anormal.
Adulthood: Superman: normal secret identity - Batman: Weird millionaire secret identity.
Old days: Ok nobody is really normal here.
The point I am trying to make is, even though Superman is alienborn, he also has a quite normal (for a superhero) daylife.
2) Crime fighting - world saving:
Hmmm lemme check my collection.
Superman: "The deliberate taking of human -- even super-human -- life goes against every belief I have -- and you have. That's the one thing we always had in common. It's what made us what we are. More than anyone in the world, when you scrach everything else away from Batman, you're left with someone who doesn't want to see anybody die."
Batman is paranoid.
TBC. (that stands for To Be Continued).
