    just like any proper debate i think we first need to level set on what constitutes (or what is the definition) of a superhero. ive read the thread and didn't see an agreement. one quick way to weed some out is......does a superhero need to be a metahuman? ie, someone with some kind of power or super human ability that us mere mortals do not. ive always seen batman as a superhero but can see the argument that he is not...

    i said all of that because i have been waiting for the right opportunity to say 'mere mortal'. bwahahahaha. i voted yes because ive always seen him as one since a kid.

    Batman wears tights and dresses like an animal. He's a superhero.

    Nothing super about him in my opinion.

    Are Rocky and Bullwinkle super heroes too ?? they do battle with evil Russian terrorist - so what - that doesn’t make them super heroes.

    Super heroes can fly while battling crime - of course by my definition I guess I’m saying the Duke Boys of Hazard County are super heroes - but I think that’s a defendable position.

    So by that definition the OG Superman would not be a super hero.

    Dr. Manhattan from Watchman would take anyone in a cage match.

    Batman is a superior intellect, and has case files on how to take down every other hero. Not sure if that makes him a superhero, but I wouldn't mess with him

    Correct. Batman has the super power of cynicism. Trust no one.

    I'm saying yes. That being said, DC was my earlier comics, then migrated to Marvel. I got so tired of Superman. He's indestructible, flies, super-everything (speed, strength, intellect, x-ray and laser vision), and yet, every 30 days, someone almost beats him. Kryptonite, red sun, magic, or just *almost* outsmarts him.

    Batman is a super hero, but WTH is your criteria? A Krypton local? I think the guy who said "Let's roll!" is a super hero.

    You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. -Batman

    Well, superheroes are subjective. While Batman is a mere mortal, he also has saved the entire universe at least once (crisis), killing a god in the process. That makes him super, and sometimes more super than the strongest metas.

    The moment they cast that sparkly vampire dude as batman, superhero status was void.

    That’s a no from me, dawg. Being highly intelligent and highly competent in martial arts, even if you’re on the extreme end of the (non-super) human bell curve for both traits, does not make you a superhero. His vulnerability is what makes him so interesting. Well, that and the fact that he turned his deepest fear into a way to effect positive change in the world.

    He’s just one of us. With great genes and billions of dollars. :rofl:

    If you look at it another way, he really is a hero because he uses his knowledge and skills to defeat friggin Gods and be on the same level with his super hero friends. That means he tries harder and words harder and still kicks ass, others don't try as hard because of their powers. What cracks me up about the older batman cartoons and comics is how he is bulletproof when you can tell he's running around in skin tight spandex, present day he looks like he's wearing proper armor which goes to show dude is crazy fit to lug around all that weight.

    doesnt matter if its for a dog or a kid, pretty much the same, they'll be gloriously terrified, and fearless afterward.

    I wanted a faster vehicle so I also bought a Chevy SS... because 4 door sedans with big V8’s are hilarious.
    Comic book characters super heroes?

    Not just no, but fuck no.

    Bad casting choices are not the character's fault. Remember the bean pole they had play Venom in the Spiderman 3 abomination?

    So in that logic, Tony Stark isnt a superhero without his suit. Cyborg isnt because of his technological enhancements. A superhero is defined from what they do to help others. Batman may not have been born with extraordinary powers, but he's still just as strong as other superheros i.e (Superman)
