Of course he's going to come off as lame to grown men who spend time talking about comic books in 2022. Context is everything. Straw-man argument. Sun Mariner is depression era and he’s cool. Ditto with Human Torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 As a kid at the dawn of the SA, I always preferred Batman to Superman. No powers just strength and smarts. I also liked how the stories were detective stories and challenged me to figure them out. Then there were all the stupid Supe spin-offs like Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane. Then I discovered Spider-Man, Hulk and FF4. For the most part, DC took a back seat. MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always saw Superman as light while Batman was on the dark side. Faced with just two comics left on the counter, I'd choose Batman every time over Superman.

Same thing with Beatles and the Stones as a young kid a little later on. The Stones were just so much more dark and “forbidden”… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
