Comics are currently the best they've been since the 80s....even better, in fact, because a LOT of books have good writers on them.

Neal Gaiman
Alan Moore
Warren Ellis
Garth Ennis
Mark Millar
Grant Morrison
Joss Whedon
Brian Michael Bendis
and the list goes on....


This is like the sweetest list I've seen.

DC has some decent stuff. I've always dug the stuff that came out of the Vertigo line (Specifically, SANDMAN, PREACHER, and TRANSMETROPOLITAN), and their books have gotten a LOT better since the writing glut of the early/mid 90s in ALL companies.

But I like Marvel more....always have.

batman would wail on punisher, hes the best kung fu fighter in the dcu, hes beaten lady shiva, batman eats punks like frank castle for breakfast, not that punisher isnt tough but hes no batman
now batman versus ironman! that would be a fight!
though again i think tony relies too much on his machinery and batman would win
I really odnt think there r 2 many (reasonable) fights that batman couldnt win

Oh ho
Really!
I know who would school Batman.
The Man Without Fear.
That's right.
DAREDEVIL.
This guy has schooled Wolverine, The Punisher, Kingpin, Spiderman, and yes he's even schooled the Green Goliath The Hulk


I think the dark night would school DD as well, once he figures out hes blind hed just crank up the noise and ko him

My Favorite DC comic Is John Constantine, Hellblazer is AWESOME

Then this my friend is where we disagree i think batman could take out frank, hes a much more disciplined fighter more powerful more dangerous fighter, hes taken out foes much worse than frank castle: like deathstroke, jason todd and hush, and bane being the most prominent (their first encounter DOES NOT COUNT hes taken bane out multiple times since then) batman wouldnt finish punisher off, hed put away with a severe sense of humiliation
also i saw a preview for the dark night movie with heath ledger as joker, is it just me or does it look like hes trying hard to copy jack nicholsons' acting style?

Wow so u think he would do the same thing Bullseye did

Hmmm and how did that end for Bullseye?

My point exactly

yeah isnt bullseye in a coma right now because of some obscure native american superhero punching him at the same time as him being electrocuted
but batman is FAR more rational than bullseye, who is absolutley insane bullseye has no discipline
Batman has taken out deathstroke, one of the most ferocious mortals in the dcu. deathstroke has kod all of batmans team when bats wasnt there. thats nightwing, robin, catwoman, huntress and batgirl (cassandra night,zatana and azrael
but when batman faced him one on one he tore deathstroke up
thats why i think he could take daredevil, cause he took deathstroke

Ah the argument of sanity.
Remember a hero is only defined by his rogues gallery. And considering how all of batman's foes are arkham asylum patrons, who is truly sane in gotham.

And comic geeks should not fight. We are the persecuted brother. So I say that you are a fan of the bat and I am a disciple of the man without fear. Let us call this debate a draw. And let us also be thankful that our heroes don't fall to such squabbling.

We should all be grateful for them, because what would our world be without these masked heroes?

Actually he's a lot closer to the comic joker than jack was

i mean nicholson has this very distinctive way of talking, and his performance as joker was masterful, it seemed as if ledger was trying to copy that, and yes he is very different than the comic version, but still very good. like danny devitos performance as the penguin differs greatly from the comics version but is possibly more well known than the less sinister comic counterpart

I think the best joker on a screen was mark hamill on batman the animated series he was NASTY couldnt they try to get him to play joker?

And yes batman may very well be the sanest crazy person in a sea of lunatics
