Your Preference: Spider-Man or Batman

Since we apparently "don't know" Batman's evolution, how come you are so quick to judge him as "mental"?

Quite frankly, I'd rather put my faith in a "guy who dresses up like a bat (who) clearly has issues" and does good well than a dickweed who's own selfish mistakes have fucked over his family on multiple occassions.

well thats personal prefernce

thats nothing to do with why the individual generally says they can relate to spiderman
its not uncommon that you hear that
i don't htink i've ever heard anyone say they can relate to batman

but wait you say he fucked over his family on multiple occasions

what exactly are you talking about

My God Baal's being a dick.

anyway fact is spiderman was a lazy guy
he tried to make a quick buck
turned to superheroism and used his old wwrestling suit

general populace don't know fuck all about batman between him being a kid and him being batman except for batman begins

General populace wouldn't know fuck all about Spider-Man's origins either if it weren't for the film.

Parker is an average guy who gets superpowers, and later is shocked into using them for something worthwhile instead of petty crap.

Bruce is billionaire's son with a fear of bats who sees both parents murdered, blames himself, and then he just gets on with his life for a while because Batkid would be stupid. Then as a man he's shocked into action or whatever, goes off around the world training in just about every fucking form of martial art ever, as well being fantastically smart and an excellent detective, comes back and decides the system isn't strong enough to fight crime. So he makes himself into a symbol.

Not as relatable at all, but it's fucking Batman. His appeal comes from his own dilemmas, not from projecting your own onto him. The classic ones being his own influence on the criminally insane, and how he sees himself as different from them, despite dressing up and prowling around like a lunatic (usually emphasised the most by the Joker).

It's like Superman. Everyone says he's too perfect and crap, but so what? That's the character, and it doesn't stop him from being awesome in the hands of a good writer. I dunno, Spider-Man's problems are too normal to be interesting for me.

well if we take it on the most basica level one is a billionaire adult

the other is a high school/college student

ppl prefer heroes to be there age
you can't relate to ppl older, and you can only relate to ppl younger then you to a certain degree

the general thing that these guys is talking about is that you cn't relate to spiderman

but fact is if you had super powers you'd consider doing somehitng with them
if any of us get money we're not gonna be doing anything involving being a vigilante

this just makes him sound annoying
fact is perfection is overated
no one likes ppl who are faultless it makes them seem like there not human
you might argue ppl want there heroes to be perfect but ultimately that is the marvel vs dc debate

WWWWWWHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE WANT THESE FUCKS TO RELATE!?

*slams fist against desk*

WHEN THE FUCK WAS "WANTING TO BE THEM" BEING THROWN OUT THE WINDOW, GODDAMMIT!?

Goddamn, preferring a superhero because you can relate to them is fucking stupid. They're superheroes. You do not relate to them.

Yes, as superheroes, you're supposed to worship their awesomeness and enjoy their epic struggles! Screw relating to their alter egos, you do not shoot web or dress up bats to fight for justice, people! Hell, i'd say, the more unique and cool you are as your alter ego, the more interesting you can be!

COME ON SUPERMAN, YOU ARE PERFECTION!
