Spiderman

Another well known superhero is Spiderman. He is a boy who was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained super powers. One admirable thing about Spiderman is he doesn’t really kill people. He is not very realistic though. Spiderman was bit by a super spider. In reality if someone was bit by a radioactive spider they might get sick or maybe even die. Spiderman also is somewhat inconsistent. For example, in the older Spiderman movies he has his strength and speed as well as these webs that he can shoot out of his wrists. In most Spiderman comics the webs were an invention by Peter Parker that he uses to help with his identity as Spiderman. Batman does not rely at all on super powers and is still surprisingly strong. He fights with his gadgets and martial arts abilities, as well as his intelligence. Spiderman relies on his enhanced senses and strength with his mind as a help. There are many reasons why Spiderman is a great superhero, but many more why Batman is better.

The Flash


Another popular superhero from DC comics is the Flash. He is basically the fastest man alive who uses his speed to fight crime. The flash can travel at the same speed as superman, but there is nothing that will take away his speed. He is also one of the few superheroes who can travel fast enough to travel through time. He is however, an unrealistic hero. He is capable of travelling ridiculously fast and has really fast reflexes. His power is beyond anything possible for any human. That is why Batman is the superior hero. He doesn't have any powers. Batman is a man with peak human strength and endurance who is considered the world’s greatest detective. Similarly to Superman, the Flash is not plausible. He doesn't have to put too much effort in to accomplish his goals. Batman and Flash are both amazing superheroes, but in my opinion Batman is the best superhero.

Superman


Superman is considered by many to be one of the greatest superheroes, but this doesn't make sense to me. He was sent to earth by his parents to escape his home planet of Krypton and to watch over Earth. He’s an alien with amazing powers that he gets from the yellow sun. Why would anyone think this makes him the best super hero?  Batman was not born with amazing powers. He was born to wealthy parents who died when he was young in a dangerous city. Batman is human. He fights against crime with abilities he worked hard to obtain as well as his inheritance. If I could choose between being either Batman or Superman I would rather be Superman. Batman put in a lot of work to gain his abilities, but Superman always had super powers. The biggest reason why Batman is better than superman is he is more plausible, and it would not be nearly as easy to be Batman as it would to be Superman.
