Doctor Q wrote a list about super beings recently and since
I love Superheroes and Free Comic Book Day just passed, I figured I would try
to do a list of my own. If only to spark some debate among the Pop Trends crew.
Batman is a source of debate here at PT. Personally, I love
Batman. But let’s be realistic. He is seriously overrated. I understand that he
is a master detective, above average fighter and a brilliant mind in every
aspect, which has more than earned his spot in the Justice League, but the fact
is that he is not the best human in the universe. Batman’s strength lies behind
the scenes and people tend to forget that. Hollywood hasn’t helped alleviate
that image either. People often tend to forget that Batman was created around
the height of Superman’s popularity and as intentionally made the complete
opposite of Superman, in order to capitalize on a market that wasn’t into god-like
beings that punch things who suffer from rock allergies.
