    You have your average heroes, such as Zorro, Chief Wiggum, Collin, Lassie, Walker, Texas Ranger...

    And then you have heroes who do more than saving the local farmer from drowning or slapping some petty thieves on the fingers... The guys who go after the real criminal masterminds, the real villians.

    Batman is one of those. His achievements are super. He is super. He is extremely good, he is excellent, hence the premodifier super.
    Please... you guys just have low standards. :p

    Earthworm Jim is more of a superhero than Batman. :D

    well we ARE debating with YOU. ;)



    good point.




    :eek:













    :D
    just kidding.


    i have very HIGH standards, thus why i am impressed when an amazing man, especially one withOUT superpowers....can perform super feats for the benefit of humanity. to me, that's a REAL superhero, one who does so withouth the benefit, and let's face it...the advantage of superpowers, and just does it with their own intellect and strength.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Ouch. ;)

    So would you open the door to calling Gandhi and King superheroes? They fit your description - and they didn't even need the benefit, and let's face it... the advantage of a creepy leather suit. :p

    I guess he's not a SUPERhero because he has no super powers. but he's definitely better than all the other superheros; Superman, Spiderman, etc. Batman has so many cool villains and side characters. the whole Bruce Wayne/Batman thing is so much better than that dork Peter Parker or Clark Kent's tired act.

    yes, don't know why...he's really the only superhero, especially on film...that i ever really got into/enjoyed. i was never a comics fan and yea the tv show, hahahahaha.

    i posted earlier about rewatching the earlier burton batman flicks and wow, at the time, loved em...but now? for me, don't even hold a candle next to nolan's vision. and don't even get me started on the 'best' batman. bale hands down, but in the past i know i was in the minority b/c kilmer was my fave batman from the flicks. christian bale OWNs batman. he is him....and hell yes, he is one kick-ass, sex on a stick SUPERHERO. :cool:

    Oh yes!!! But only if he loses the silly hat ;)



    oooohhhhhh, he can wear it, if he likes. as long as that mouth is readily accessible, it's all good. :D i'm sure those batears are good for, errrrm...pulling? hahaha. superfreak, super hero...super sexy. :D

    he was always my favorite superhero and i wasn't really into the whole comic book thing either. i watched the cheesy show religiously as a kid, had an inordinate affection for the batmobile too lol i think batman might actually have been my first official crush too, as little as i was :o lol

    i loved the burton movies, i'll have to watch them again now, cuz i seriously adored the way nolan's movie was shot. it has that sinister feel to it, i dug that a lot.

    and yeah....bale is just....damn. well i better just stop lol

    I hear that the next batman movie will feature our caped crusader doing a pole dance in a gay bar to the tune of 'You Can Leave Your Hat On'.

    So there... :p

    oh i watched the show as a child too. :)
    and the batmobile.......soooo cool! seriously, all the other superheroes, yea, they are all freaks...but none in the dark, mysterious sexy nighttime vision that is batman. :D at least the new batman. i mean when you think about it, they ALL are bizarro world stuff, kinda like comic mythology. just reminded me of hancock. didn't love it, but the whole idea of gods....angels...superheroes.....etc. anyhooooooo...batman is SOOO a superhero.



    urbanhippie, the cape is just toal frosting. besides, great to envelope you into the fold. ok. i'll stop now.......:o

    You'd rather watch that than a lot of things, I'm sure. ;)

    Leave the Gay Ghost out of this, he can be gay if he wants. It's the 21st century.

    gay ghost would be running the gay bar if batman was working the pole, that's all i'm saying. not that there's anything wrong with it :D

    now i got the visual of casper with a ball gag...i need to go clean my brain with some rubbing alcohol lol

    oh toto, we've seemed to take a wrong turn...somewhere.........:p





    seriously, is there a sexier superhero - of the male variety - than batman? i think not. all the rest are quite freakish, and definitely not so dark and mysterious....with their sexy batcave and all that. besides, NONE have had such a hottie as christian bale BE them, so hands down means

    batman = superhero.


    that's all i'm sayin'....;)

    To be fair, though, you're all just proving us right on the "gimp suit/S&M" argument. :p

    I'm just saying Christian Bale + leather= yummy...

    So I know this is the wrong thread, but it's related.

    I vote the next Batman villain should be The Gimp-Pimp and should be played by Eddie Izzard and 47 changes of outfit. :)

    ooooooooooo rhino.....*shakes head*...you are just so not understanding! :p batman is sooo above all that. the leather is just a start. ;) obviously tho, since you don't accept him as a superhero, you just can't get it. :D

    Anything involving Eddie Izzard automatically gets the go-ahead from me. :p Just don't send the Gimp-Gimp to Alcatraz.
