My Superman is the post-...I'd agree with that.<br /><br />My Superman is the post-Crisis Superman who was humanized in large part by making him bright but not a genius.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-45415197580793476002014-01-04T16:37:10.615-04:002014-01-04T16:37:10.615-04:00I much prefer Batman being smarter than Superman. ...I much prefer Batman being smarter than Superman.

That ...Because he's not DC's smartest hero. That honor goes to Superman with his super-intelligence. Can Bruce Wayne build robot duplicates of himself that pass for the real deal? Maybe we're dealin in different eras...I quit DC post-Crisis, so maybe they decided to make Batman a super-genius on par with Superman in the late '80s.<br /><br />But I would say even the Chief from the original Doom Patrol is smarter than Bruce Wayne. Or Magnus of Metal men fame. Probably others as well.<br /><br />After all, Batman assembled the Outsiders: how smart can he be?Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-73419277166643612082013-12-28T13:12:58.246-04:002013-12-28T13:12:58.246-04:00Though I did prefer a more human Batman, the Batma...Though I did prefer a more human Batman, the Batman in Outsiders wasn't even at the level of Barr's work in actual Batman books. The way he treats and uses his team is incredibly stupid. How can DC's smartest hero make such a hash of group strategies? It's a big part of why B&TO bugs me so much.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-48065439186693650742013-12-28T12:39:05.752-04:002013-12-28T12:39:05.752-04:00You're thinking of modern ninja Batman who has...You're thinking of modern ninja Batman who has super powers.
