>Batman is more relatable than Superman because he's human
That has to be the absolute stupidest argument I've ever heard.
Yes, the billionaire who spends his nights scaring and beating the shit out of criminals, spends his free time creating gadgets, has a cave base under his mansion,
Is more relatable than the guy who grew up in Kansas on a small farm, went to school, found a job and got married.
Delusional much?
Hm.
It seems to be a bit of a spam going on.
>Genius level IQ
>Olympian physical genetics
>Trust fund
Is he supposed to be relatable?
Bathomosexual is not relatable, he is just more appealing to self insert for homosexuals.
>superpowers
Better than bullshit plotarmor
>worked hard to become great
>literally born into money
Kek
>Is it cool?
Only later iterations, the blue and grey looks lame.
I relate to him because he's leeching off his parent's money, and lives in the basement of their house surrounded by computers.
Superman is only a superhero because he depends on the superpowers he was born with.
Batman is a regular human who worked hard to become great. One is a human who eared his strength, the other is an alien who was born given everything he needs. batman is what it means to be human - real work and effort. Superman is a child's immature fantasy.
>born with
moron. Clark didn't have powers at birth.
This is as stupid as people thinking that a Kryptonisn baby will internally kick Lois to death. The baby won't have powers. It took Clark many years to develop any at all.
>It took Clark many years to develop any at all.
That was Bruce dumbass
Clark powers show up when he was a teenager
Bruce have to train body an dmind since as a kid.
We really having that talk OP?Is people really that stupid now?
Batman was born a billionaire with ultra high IQ. The combat abilities are just an extra since most of the time he crafts a gadget to destroy big villains and superheroes. This is something that I hate about comic movies and shows nowadays: every main character HAS to be a super genius. Kind of how Spiderman went from very smart into being as smart as Tony.
>You're not a relatable superhero if you dopn'ty train for your powers
This is famously why everyone hates Spider-Man since he got gifted everything.
Ironically Spiderman is often touted as well loved because he's so relatable
The billionaire shit put a convenient barrier between the reader and Batman. The argument would be a kid or a geek feel that if only he has money, he could be Batman too. Isn't the entire system build on the self-made man myth? Even if this is obviously bullshit, especially on recent decades (social mobility has been stagnant since the 80s), it still resound with people thanks to the media and seem more approchable than being born in another planet
"AAAAIIIIEEEEEEE BATCHAD YAMETE KUDASAI GOKU-SAMA PLEASE SAAAAAAAVE MEE!!!"
People don't want to admit that Batman is a big goopy pile of "rule-of-cool" and doesn't actually make sense. Like look at his costume and really think about it. Half the time characters act like he's dress like a bat monster or something but it can only really be described as a bat themed Superman outfit. Is it practical? No. Is it scary? Not really. Is it cool? Absolutely. And that's why he wears it.
Neither are relatable but it's easier to relate to a physically perfect genius than an alien demigod that isn't corrupted by his powers.
Superman is less relatable because he is not truly a man, he is an alien
He's relatable in the sense that he's not born a demigod but a man who becomes a demigod via the consequences of his experiences and intellect.
If you all are unfit, poor, ugly and stupid, FINE!!! Don't blame it on Batman.
I'll let you in a secret. The popularity of characters doesn't ride on 'relatability' alone, because otherwise Blue Beetle would be more popular than Superman and Batman put together.
It's not like Goku, the asexual alien who only lives for fighting and eating, never needs worrying about money, has no social needs or self doubts, and never has any stress other than during battles, even when all his friends have died because he can revive them with a magical Mc Guffin, is actually relatable, either.
