Favorite Super Hero - Page 2

I'm not really a super hero comics fan but I did like Elektra. Other than TMNT I try and keep my comic obsessions to a minimum

1. Batman
2. TMNT/Spider-man
3. Superman/the Hulk
4. Nightcrawler
5. the Fantastic Four

The thing that interests me about Batman the most is that unlike most superheroes, he has no super-powers by being an alien or a mutant, or in Captain America's case, he's never used steroids. He's a regular guy who trained his whole life to be where he's at, training his body and mind. Plus the whole psychology of him, with the death of his parents and all, it's the reason why Batman is not only my favorite super-hero, but in my opinion, one of the greatest ever created.

FJ: Uhhh, ditto on Batman

Psycrow · 08-07-2003, 10:20 PM

Hm... Spiderman for me. Batman kicks ass too though.

Loolaa · 08-08-2003, 12:12 AM

The Maxx
Illyana Rasputin (New Mutants)

There's something very dark about the Batman character that I've always been attracted to for some reason. Tim Burton was awesome in bringing out that cold and dark feel in the movies IMO.

Fugitoid Jones · 08-08-2003, 09:06 AM

Oh, absolutely. I've gotta credit Tim Burton for resparking my interest in Batman a few years ago when I first watched the first two movies. Now they're two of my most favorite movies.

*Mars-Chan* · 08-08-2003, 09:40 AM

My favorite superhero? Eric Draven!! As you can tell, I LOVE "The Crow"....besides the quote in my avvy (despite the Wolverine pics) I have a crow wallpaper that I got that so rocks. It has Brandon in his "You got me Dead Bang" pose with his Fender Strat behind him.
*pauses, thinks* Wait...he's not a superhero...just a hero.

*Thinks about the crow, then groans* owww......

*Dr. Doom* · 08-08-2003, 12:18 PM

Forgot him, too.

I hated Michael Keaton in that movie. He's not Physically imposing enough and is way to much of a comedian.

Cap never took steroids, he was forced to take a super serum, which just forced his growth 15 or so years, and put his body at top physical condition. Batman took steroids a couple times, they talked about it in an issue of Nightwing. I forget which.

I gues Batman never saw the after school special-esque issue of Green Arrow where Speedy did some heroine, or what ever. Bad Batman.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-09-2003, 05:33 PM

The story you're referring to appeared in (I believe) the first few issues of "Legends of the Dark Knight", and has been collected in the TPB "Batman: Venom". It really is an incredible story dealing with drug addiction and abuse that shows how anyone could fall victim to it. In this case, Batman wasn't strong enough to lift a boulder which prevented him from rescuing a little girl from drowning, and she died. Guilt-ridden, he allowed himself to be coerced by the girl's father (a pharmaceutical chemist with sinister ulterior motives) into taking a super-powerful and super-addictive steroid to enhance his strength.

It's a great story and I highly recommend it. The results of it are still seen today, as the drug, called "Venom", is the substance which powers Batman's arch-nemesis Bane.

I've always been a fan of TMNT and Spider-Man because I've always felt that I can relate to them.

*damnhooligan* · 08-10-2003, 07:31 AM

I think what he meant was that, before he took 'venom', he had artificial means of ANY kind to increase his strength.

Ash was once called the "Poor Man's Batman," He's like a super hero for the easily amused. That's why I like him.

That's what attracted me to Batman. I mean, if someone killed my parents, I'd vow revenge too.
