Why you should like Batman instead of Superman

1. Many people will dismiss Batman, thinking that he is just a rich second generation who depends on equipment to eat. But the fact is: Once Superman loses his superpowers, then he will no longer be Superman, because superpowers are all he has to Superman. But even if Batman loses his wealth, he is still Batman, because money and the Batmobile are nothing but props for him to realize his ideals, and he can be a man without them.

2. Clark Kent became Superman because he was born Superman. There is no choice. In other words, his mission is like this. But the reason why Bruce Wayne became Batman was entirely out of his own choice, out of his hatred of evil forces.

3. From a human point of view, Batman is also much more complicated than Superman. One has lived under the halo all the way, and the other has been overshadowed by the brutal murder of his parents when he was young. To make his enemies fearful, Batman puts himself on makeup as a bat. But under his ugly mask is a noble heart. His phrase "It's not who I am underneath, but it's not who I am underneath, but it's what I do that defines me) throughout the entire "Batman 5 Shadow Mystery", let us see a little helplessness as a man. If you use the analogy of the characters in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Superman is like a virtual bamboo who accidentally learned a good martial arts. Their common characteristics are kindness and simple thinking. Superman deals with evil people just like Xu Zhu deals with Ding Chunqiu. So logically. And Batman’s sadness reminds people of Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng killed his beloved A Zhu by mistake. Batman also lost his favorite woman because of his wrong judgment ("Batman 6 The Night Rider"). They also They are all misunderstood and abandoned by this world, but they have always been ashamed of their hearts and awe-inspiring.

4. Although Superman is not a human, he is called Superman, and Batman is a human, but he is called Man.

5. Superman always protects the peace of the world within his own ability, but in Batman, he is fighting the enemy with flesh and blood, and he may pay the price of his life at any time. I would rather believe that Superman is in the same category as the gods in ancient Greek mythology and Ultraman, and Batman is the real hero, because he is just like us.

6. Although Superman and Batman have always displayed dual identities, Superman’s two identities (reporter and Superman) are much more relaxed than Batman. The latter has to pretend to be a playboy during the day to hide from others, and even pretend to be a ghost at night. Fight against evil forces and always face the obstruction of Gotham police. In the end, Batman even sacrificed his reputation and took all the crimes to himself, completely becoming a weird person ("Batman 6 The Night Rider"). This kind of self-sacrifice spirit is also not possessed by Superman.

7. Although Batman and Superman have the habit of spreading underpants, the habit of Batman's night activities minimizes the adverse effects, but when Superman is flying, children all over the world are looking up at him.
