Why Batman is not a super hero

chelleymarie88

Is he a hero? Yes. Is he a super hero? No. Yes, Batman is one of the most popular heroes of all time; however, as nerdy as I sound right now, it kind of irks me when I hear that he is a superhero. He doesn't have any super powers, nor any super human strength. He learned all of his fighting from martial arts masters. He has a utility belt and bajillions of dollars to support his bipolar"vigilante/heroic" ways.

Absolutely! Superman is the only true super hero!

But his suit has rubber nipples. Your argument is invalid.

chelleymarie88

Not to mention, he is just a tattle tale for the police force. Informants do not equal superhero status.

I don't feel like you need super "powers" to be a superhero though.

He has a bullet proof codpiece, your argument has been further invalidated.

Bruce Wayne enterprise is who to thank for those gadgets that he plays with.

No super spiders bites or kryptonite to help that fella.

HauteP1nk

By the true definition he is not a Superhero...really he is just a vigilante. That being said, in a lot of people's eyes he is the true superhero because even without super powers he saves the day! LOL

Iron man, now there's a super hero

mickipedia

agreed.. he's just a really good citizen with far too much money

That's where a lot of people are wrong. Superheroes are super human... Indicating they are more "superior" than human. He is a hero, yes. Tony Stark is the "Batman" of Marvel and even HE has something "super" about him. His chest reactor keeps him alive, and so does his armor.

Don't get me wrong, Batman is BAD *kitten*. He is the only one who could ever take down Superman- even Superman said it himself.

no super powers, no super hero. although i appreciate all of the good work he does around here in gotham, he was not blasted with gamma rays, bitten by a spider, born with freakish abilities, or any of that.

LOL I saw that movie. It made me die a little inside.

chelleymarie88

I have no beef (lol) with any of the DC or Marvel super heroes, because they're all "super". Hell, even all the super villains posses super prowess......

Indy_Mario

To me, the only relevant super hero is Super Mario, eating flowers = fire/ice throwing. WIN

Funny you brought that up though, because I was going to reference. The only thing that separates these guys from Batman is money.

Batman is a p*ssy, Superman is the real super hero!

Also.... Christian Bale's Batman made me angry........ But this made me laugh:

So are the X-Men superheroes? They have powers that regular people don't, but like Lady Gaga they were born that way!

mikeyrp

Well, if you want to get your geek on..

Iron Man would fall into the same category as Batman - Just a guy with money.
Also, what about the green lanterns - they don't have super powers, they just possess alien technology.

Depends on if they're heroic. Wolverine is a superhero, Cyclops is a superhero, etc.

Yeah, Superman is so tough that some little green crystal can bring him to his knees. What kind of superhero is that when Uri Geller can kick his *kitten*?
