Batman Vs. Superman

I would like to write of a debate that has raged on since the dawn of time. Who is better, Batman or Superman. Here are my arguments:

Superman is not a human.
It is indeed a fact that Superman, or Kal-El, was not born on the planet Earth. He was born on the doomed planet Krypton. And while I am glad he was sent here as much as the next person, I am not sure if he entered our country legally. That's right. Superman is an Illegal Alien. I'm sure with the present state of affairs in the country, it will be overlooked.
Batman (Bruce Wayne) was born in America to very wealthy and socially conscious parents. Not only is he a true blooded American, he is also human. 1 point for Batman.
Superman has Super Powers. He has flight, super speed, invulnerability, heat vision, cold breath, x-ray vision and (this is a rumor) can fly around the world so fast that it spins in reverse and turns back time. Of course this makes him the ultimate super hero. 1 point for Superman.
Batman has trained his body and mind since he was a child and watched his parents die in an alley in Gotham City. He is a human, yet can keep up with all the Super Powered people in the Justice League. He is the pinnacle of human perfection. 2 Points for Batman.
Batman beat Superman in a fight in the "Hush" comic series. 1 point for Batman.
Superman has a healthy relationship with Lois Lane and seems a down to Earth kind of guy. 1 Point for Superman
Batman is unstable and dark, but a good person. 1 for Batman.

As you can tell this debate can go on and on. For the sake of time, I am just going to declare Batman winner. I do like Superman very much but for my money, you can't beat the worlds greatest detective and super hero, Batman. I rest my case.

I totally agree. I've always favored Batman just for the fact that he doesn't need super powers to be awesome.

i don't like to play favorites. i respect them both because they're both better than me. i just want to remind you that when homer simpson was in trouble, he prayed to superman for help, not batman. true, he thought batman was there to help him stop the monorail(although it turned out to be just a scientist), but he didn't pray to him for help. i'm not saying homer's any type of authority, but still....it's something. i'm just not sure what that something is.

Interesting point. Your Simpsons knowledge is astonishing! Another point about Batman is his daily physical routine. Thousands of sit-ups and push-ups every day. Superman’s metabolism is also considered “Super” as no exercise is really needed, and he can eat whatever he likes. On Lois and Clark we saw that he starts his day off by eating Twinkies and doughnuts. Now is that the kind of Superhero we really need? A glutton? If it weren’t for his Super Powers, I think…he would just be a fatso.

Stephen Hawkings would kick Robocops metal Butt! And, if you were to read "Hush" Batman actually beats Superman in a straight fight. (Superman gave Batman a Kryptonite ring)

Wow, you really got going on this one! I wasn't meaning in the title "Batman vs Superman" that it is about fighting. Mostly, it was a "Who is cooler". It can also be a "Who has the better costume" or simply a spelling contest.
