Batman vs. Superman

Superman is a hero for bright eyed children and true blue optimists, but Batman is the real deal. He's far more human than Superman - well actually he is human and Superman comes from the planet Krypton, so he's actually an alien. As a human Batman doesn't really have any powers, unlike Superman whose powers are so fantastic they become unbelievable and comical at best. Batman has to deal with his human limitations and fragile vigilante psyche in order to mete out his vengeance on the bad guys, but Superman is never really at risk. He can crush the criminals with trivial use of his powers, and not even break a sweat. The only trait they really share is that of extreme loneliness. One torn asunder from his native plant and fellow beings by a planetary cataclysm, and the other driven into isolation and paranoia as a child by the untimely death of his parents at the hands of street thugs. What's the point here? Stick with Batman. He's complex and conflicted like the rest of us. He's estranged from others and alienated from society, but still wants to right the wrongs and make a difference. Superman is just cleaning up the bee hive.
