I was actually going to be that guy before @Director Bison was that guy. You'd have to take away all of his martial arts training. Anywho, I don't think arguing about which other hero is/isn't better than Supes or Bats is the point here.
Batman isn't as well known as Superman?
- Thread starter AgentRedgrave
- Start date
Nope not at all, I was just questioning a statement I've heard a couple of times that while Batman is more popular, Superman is more well known. Which confused me, as I thought both characters were pretty well known world wide
actually no he was going to lose again
but Catwoman shoots Bane with the Batpod
i'm not saying Nolan's batman isn't a master of stealth
but his training isn't nearly as impressive as comic/cartoon batman
@Director Bison
Nope, he was winning even before Catwoman showed up.
2:42 - 3:01
He was taking it a bit at the beginning, then he broke Bane's mask and made him get exhausted by letting him go frenzy (which was the mistake he made in the first fight).

i guess your right
i don't remember the whole movie that much didn't remember batman winning like that
i don't care about superman until vince cahill, his movies were the family type, and yes, i'm not into western comics.. and i always cared about batman.. batman rules, he once defeated chuck norris in a chess fight
I dig them both and it's interesting as they are both power fantasies but one is more loved than the other.
It could be because non-powered heroes give off the allusion that there level of skill can be achieved plus from a writer's standpoint its easier to keep going with a wide range of threats ranging from a gun or depression ( Netflix's Daredevil, batman Under the red hood, Batman beyond, Arrow etc)
I think its cause there is more perceived flexibility with Batman as there a wider range of stories/takes/supporting characters/enemies at his disposal than Superman whose percieved as limited. Even Bruce Timm who did the superman cartoon from the 90s thought he was a bit corny and wished he could have updated him a bit more (which explains why batman got three more cartoons compared to the 1 superman got).
So its a work in progress.
