Batman favoritism over superman

Because Goliath beating up David isn't a good story.
Noah Williams
Because people see Batman as the underdog, and any chance he gets to overpower Superman, who people think can do anything and has no weaknesses, writers will gladly take.
Adam Gray
I think at this point it's safe to say Batman is hardly the David at DC.
Jaxson Rogers
I mean he's rarely presented as a pushover in the actual comics. Even his greatest ever victory against Superman in TDKR was essentially just a draw. Most of the other times Superman is either weakened or mind-controlled, and thus not at his full fighting strength when they do actually tango.
Wyatt Hill
Because he always goes easy on Batman or lets the backstabber hang around and figure out his weaknesses. The JLA has gotten fucked TWICE because they let Mr. Paranoid hang around with them and they still haven't learned it is a bad idea.
Liam Hall
Batman is usually more profitable to DC than Superman. Children like edgy.
Angel Anderson
Practically speaking you're correct, but thematically speaking that's still kind of his deal

because of normies
This stupid "rivalry" even goes to their villains
>joker beating lex in the last story
Its fucking hilarious how the tech of one of the most brilliant minds on the universe got hacked by a lolsorandum clown
Luis Wright
there's nothing interesting about it being he other way around
Hunter Jones
Batman keeps the lights on and has for decades.
Mason Butler
Batman's more profitable and popular than Superman. Batman's pretty much the one character keeping DC alive. Batman's also the "human" character, the "powerless" character, the "tragic" character. Meanwhile Superman's often portrayed as a "god", as the "powerful" character, and the "beloved" character. It's the classic tale of the underdog.
Sebastian Nelson
Batman was the villain and the bully in the fucking film.
Jonathan Howard
Because superman actually going to town on batman just looks like bullying.
Liam Gomez
To be fair, Superman actively tried to kill Batman and Green Lantern there for shit and giggles, and even threw them around buildings and shit without caring if their fight could possible hurt or kill any innocents.
Jace Ward
You clearly missed "Batgod" that's been pushed ever since Morrison.
Joshua Martin
The Batgod trend doesn't change how people perceive them. Ulysses doesn't stop being any less of a tragic human hero despite banging Circe and shit.
Caleb Hughes
Except when he deserves it.
Jonathan Rodriguez
Ulysses is not tragic since he does return to his intact family, but Aquilles from the Illiad was tragic.
Elijah Lee
That scene sucked and seemed to be written and made by hacks butthurt about how Superman was treated by Batman in BvS, despite Batman being totally in the wrong in that movie. I say hacks, because they didn't even understand the context of the "do you bleed?" quote.
Angel Morris
In the tragic Olympics, Hector wins out.
Matthew Stewart
Because Batman is the ultimate virgin and Superman is the ultimate chad.
Nathaniel Bell
>I did it, I brought back a quote I planted before with the reversed context, suck it, Nolan!
>But Zack, that makes no sense; obviously Batman bleeds and Superman knows it, he--
>SUCK MY DIIIIIIICK.

The only tragic element in Achilles' story is Patroclus' death.
Charles Brown
You're joking right? Superman was slapping Batman around until the very end
Nolan Morales
do you realize that that scene was made by whedon right? and before you say that I'm full of shit you can know wich scene is wedon's and snyder's by seeing the badly cgi superman's mouth.
Benjamin Roberts
This. God... Superman in JL was terrible. Felt like a cardboard made by all the "NOT MUH" Superman idiot fanboys where all he did was try to show off how powerful he was and smile like a retard. It came off as extremely juvenile and the character literally broke the movie by the third arc. It shat on the whole reason for the movie.
Owen Perry
The critics and audience praised Superman in that movie as Superman done right, though.
Thomas Walker
They are wrong and subdued by the Jews.
America is not about smiling and being retarded. It is about doing what needs to be done and accepting the praise befitting Jesus knowing your sacrifice is of equal if not greater magnitude.
