Superman vs. Batman: Who's the real superhero?

Who's the real superhero here? I mean, if you talking super powers, it's Superman hands down. But what about Batman? He doesn't have super powers and he seems to save the day everytime. So do you give it to the superhero with super-human strength and super powers, or do you give it to the guy that doesn't have super powers and is just smart enough to use all these gadgets just laying around the house to save the day?


Who would win in a fight? Most people would say Superman, and I would have to agree to some extent. But we all know that Batman can't be counted out. After all, he's pretty good with those flying bat disc thingies.


Next question...why do they have jobs? Superman = journalist. Batman = entrepreneur. But why? They're freaking saving the world all day long -- except Batman does most of his saving the world at night. How does he get any sleep, working all day, saving the world at night? Hmmmm...Batman is starting to look like a winner.


Superman does have time to sleep at night. He's not really saving the world in the p.m. However, with Superman being Superman, does he really need to sleep? All he has to do is leave the office and jump in a telephone booth, and he's off. And that's another thing...all Superman needs is a telephone booth. Why?


Batman has a whole freaking Bat Cave...with cars and planes and cars that turn into planes and gadgets and a butler. A BUTLER? Superman doesn't even have a butler. He's just has Lois Lane over there trying to figure out who that guy was the other day who saved her life and why she is suddenly attracted to Clark Kent. HELLO? Sorry to break it to you Ms. Lane, but the glasses don't make that much of a difference. I mean, at least Batman has a mask.


Let's talk about sidekicks a little. Batman has Robin and then later on we are introduced to Batgirl. But really...who does Superman have? He doesn't need anyone. He's got it covered by himself.


Superman's been tabbed at the American Hero. Batman...much like Spiderman for a while was considered a villian to some. Has Superman ever been considered a villian? This may be a question for my dad. Superman's motto is "Truth, justice, and the American Way." He's looking out for the good ol' U.S. of A. Batman seems to have to issues with his past. A lot of time it seems like he's saving people because he feels he obligated to. But why?

Who knows? Think it over. Give me some feedback.
