What would Batman do if he had Superman's superpowers?
Anthony Bell
Jordan Turner
He would finally rape the Joker, something that he should have done years ago
Julian Brooks
>just grind this rock to powder and sniff it
>you'll feel great, bruce
>come on, bruce, don't be a pussy
>we all have superpowers
>you want to be cool like us, right?
>just one line
What the fuck, Superman. Don't hook Batman on weird stuffs.
Josiah Morris
that rock sound improbable.
Colton Hughes
>Giving a paranoid control freak godlike power
He'd basically turn into a worse Red Son Superman. He'd "put the whole world in a bottle".
Luis Lopez
Bruce should stop being a pussy then.
Hudson Mitchell
>Platinum kryptonite
Is this an example of an asspull?
John Evans
The Superman mythos is full of wacky shit. The Phantom Zone having a planet in it full of ultra-kryptonite isn't the wildest thing I've heard.
Luke Johnson
Honestly, the rainbow kryptonite stuff was better off retconned because with it writers can just come with whatever variety they want to do whatever they want.
How many varieties of kryptonite are there at this point and how many effects have they had over the years?
Caleb Stewart
Clean up gotham.
Cooper Garcia
Use them irresponsibly and go crazy. Batman has no mental fortituse for super powers.
He goes insane with them. Batman just dont deserve them.
Josiah Scott
You do know that's an ass-pull so Batman's status quo as a capable human won't change or Superman won't be seen even more irrelevant, right?
Nathaniel Turner
Remember when Sasquatch got framed for killing the first girl Clark ever had sex with?
Ryan Anderson
No user. Batman is an unstable man with lots of issues. Every time he uses any sort of super powers, no matter what type, he goes insane and evil.
Fact is, Batman is unworthy of powers. Hypercrysis awknowledge this. He use them poorly, period.
Jaxon Evans
Caleb Collins
Adrian Cooper
>Every time he uses any sort of super powers, no matter what type, he goes insane and evil.
Because otherwise Superman would look innefectual and Batman would have little excuse to not always have super-powers.
Elijah Kelly
>Make Superman look ineffectual.
Superman without his powers and all the crime fighting gadgets would be more effective than Batman.
Because being an example to look up to and a good guy is better than being a vigilante feeding into the cycles of violence.
Nathan Gonzalez
No, Superman with gadgets instead of powers wouldn’t be able to do shit. Bruce trained his entire life to be a crimefighter out of hatred and obsession. Batman’s about a lot more than gadgets.
Besides, people “look up” to Superman because he has powers but is still such an altruistic person. Take away the powers and he’s just Clark the friendly reporter. He wouldn’t inspire anyone
Bentley Watson
Well over a dozen types. There was a 60s comic where it was a big deal that there was a sixth type, and it only exploded after that.
Zachary Taylor
in this story batman cleans up the planet in a single night when he has supermans powers.
Dylan Baker
of course supes got butthurt
Nathaniel Jenkins
So, if Superman could do it... Why doesn't he?
Evan Gonzalez
It has already happened and we have already had the answer. Become corrupted by power and basically and even more violent than usual. Clark, on that occasion, manages to save him before it was too late.
Charles Cox
muh balance, muh rules
Leo Sanders
fpbp
Angel Rogers
it's simply because Superman and Batman have different mentalities. Batman is not compatible with Super powers because a small part of him is fueled by revenge.
Moreover, it is also the same situation as those who become rich too quickly and that destroy themselves. Huge discipline is needed to manage the powers of Superman and Batman is not used to so much power.
Charles Bailey
do note that a side effect of the power switch was
batman: became more and more obsessed with solving everything without rest. also becoming more violent.
superman: became all emo and craved his powers back
Thomas Hill
Super autistic Batman.
it is perhaps not his lowest moment, but certainly one of the most embarrassing.
Chase Moore
I mean, he’s right. I’m sure people in warzones wouldn’t give a shit how compassionate their saviour is.
That being said this is a comic, and status quo is more important than anything, so what do you expect?
Luis Kelly
Charles Foster
he is not right. You don't even need to be a psychologist to understand what is happening to Batman in that moment. There are doctors who end in therapy for way less.
Nathan Price
I am surprised that no bad guy has brought his parents back to life yet, and I mean without tricks or double ends. Because I am reasonably convinced that this genuine happiness would destroy Batman more than an evil plan to deceive him.
Noah Green
Ra's tried to dip them in the Lazarus pit. Batman refused the offer.
Benjamin Young
status quo probaly prevents that.
and why would one of batmans badguys revive them without any drawbacks?
only ra's al ghul would potentialy do it, but even then they would be dependent on the lazarus pits.
Christian White
No user. Blaming your dad for everything isnt going to fix you.
Batman simply is bad with powers
Aiden Rivera
He did. It was called Injustice.
Robert Ross
he is too used to being dark and moody.
he is insane and would not be able to cope with his parents being back. who would surely be dissapointed in him for his career choice.
Luis White
it still took superman years before he had full control over the world. and even then people resisted.
Jordan Richardson
>Green Lanterns can't create oxigen on their own
Since when?
I thought they could project their protective aura onto anyone?
Brandon Sanders
different era.
Nicholas Allen
just the usual "infinity+1" shit DC likes to pull.
Elijah Jones
Red Kryptonite alone was too much for my suspension of disbelief, and I’m one of the dudes that wants a Legion of Super-Pets.
Dylan Campbell
Lose them.
Dylan Johnson
The real question is what would Batman do with Elastic Lad's powers?
Nathan King
Go crazy. Batman is horrible with Super powers. He either becomes a tyrant and place the entire planet under his very capable hands. Or he dies when he pisses off one of the spell casters.
Batman is very, very irresponsable when he gets super powers. His brain can't process them very good, he lacks mental fortitude and discipline. He would become a monster in less time that what it took to the bullet who killed his parents to pierce his mom's brain.
Nicholas Lopez
Because there was a superhuman resistance. Same thing would happen with Batman. When you think about it. Trying to make Batman competent with powers would be disservice that would confirm that Batman is a mary sue, a criticism that everyone with a pc and internet can put on Batman.
Do you want Batman to be absolutely perfect?
Ian Jenkins
When comics are written. All characters around Batman become stupid in order to make a character like Bats look competent, in a way, Batman is THE problem DC has than anything else. They have become too dependant on the bat and therefore all the other comics have suffered for and because of him.
Juan Wright
but bats is pretty much a gary stu
Aaron Rogers
And that is a disservice to the character and everyone sorrounding him.
Batman needs to go or change if DC wishes to actually improve.
James Long
won't happen, batman is their only character that Always sells good
Matthew Anderson
Then DC as a whole is doomed to mediocrity. Long live the Bat, may he guide us to the oblivion machine.
Ayden Davis
thats the worst hawkgirl mask design I have ever seen
