    The number of Bat-wank haters far surpasses the Bat-wankers themselves. Even then, Bat-wanker =/= Batfan. The joke in itself is more popular.

    Thank you for not saying Bat hater. It's been working a nerve.

    Elaborate.

    Recently there has been an increase of calling anyone being critical of things like what they perceive as wank as being a Batman hater. I appreciated seeing someone able too separate disliking wank from disliking the character.

    There was a time when I didn't like Batman that much, mostly because of his fanboys.

    Then I actually read some Batman stories.

    @batgirlcc: Why get upset about it?

    Thats not everyone. Its because of the fact tht alot of Batman fanboys won't admit that Batman would lose to characters like Thor or Hulk ect...

    Ah. I'm right there with you. Huge fan of Batman, you've even seen my Batman half-sleeve, lol. Yet, I hate the hype he gets, the punches to Superman, the beating on the JLA, the punking of Darkseid. It does get to be a little too much, even on Batman fans.

    The general batfans are pretty stupid but the knowledgeable batfans are nice to debate with.

    Like seriously why would anyone thing Superman could ever lose to Batman? Even with prep its impossible unless PIS is in there.

    Serious or not its a stupid statement and I rue the day it and Chuck Norris jokes came into being. Both are spot on examples of the stupidity mankind is capable of.

    This thread is dumb. Im a Batman fan myself, and i don't really care what some idiots on the internet say. It's not like every batman fan is open-minded, intelligent and clevver. There are some dumb fans, fanboys, clevver people, smart people it all depends. You can't say that EVERY fan of a superhero is intelligent or every fan of another superhero is dumb. Saying that is dumb.

    I am too modest to say that we batfans are the most intelligent, but I'm positively furious when some schmuck had the audacity to make this poll: http://www.comicvine.com/forums/off-topic-5/least-intelligent-fanbase-1628752/

    What pissed me even more is that even more people voted for Batman's fanbase as the least intelligent fanbase, just next to DBZ.

    Come'on. Even if us batfans isn't the brightest fanbase in the world, we're not the idiots you guys like to make us out to be. We like to think of creative scenarios where our heroes and heroines come up on top in fights and situations, and you think that makes us stupid?

    Therefore, yes I think Batman fans are far from stupid, in fact they are smart, open-minded people.

    I totally agree, though a few fans can sometimes ruin one characters reputation.

    Also, i like your nick and your avatar xD

    I'd say a majority of Batman's fanbase is trash. No issue with the character, but ever since he's gotten more popular, his fanbase has gone down the drain. The fact that you had to make this thread makes the fanbase looks worse. Now I'm not saying all of his fans are awful, but now that he's extremely popular, Batman's fanbase has gotten a lot more awful.

    Also, is this an alt of yours?

    He/She probably won't respond to that, because he/she will be confused with the question, lol.

    I'm the user with you were debating in the Lady Shiva vs Snake thread, and in the Batgirl vs Big Boss and Snake threads...he/she i don't know, but i like his prefferences xD

    Considering that people discount everything he does as unrealistic for Comic book land should make a lot of people borderline retarded.

    It just seems that the comic book that gets the most awards and acclaim should not be hated for having so many fans that like coherent story, consistent world building, and envelope pushing content.

    And if Batman did not make so many heavy hitters look like idiots, those same characters would not have a year-long boost in sales.

    If Batman $#!+s all over heavy hitters regularly, the feats should eventually count. Especially since those seen to be the only issues that most fans of DC buy in large quantities.

    I agree with this kinda.. A lot of newcomers to comics kinda start out by examining the superheroes fighting each others fisrt before buying comics about a single character.

    Many people bough Hush just to see the two page spread of Batman punching Superman. The same might go with Batman and Robin 37 as well.

    It's kind of a way for DC to make extra money.

    Creativity has a limit and can be seen as character wank- I remember Wenjun Chew coming up with an argument for how Batman beats a bloodlusted Flash with a 10 foot starting distance. Come on.

    Speak for yourself dude lol. I put all Batfans in the same box. Sad, but true. I never came across a Batfan that was reasonable and not obnoxious. I used to think I hated the character, but I was wrong. It's the fanbase that I hate.

    This is probably a result of some angry people still having their jimmies rustled after Batman fought the Justice League in Endgame.

    @dbvse7 said:

    If so.. why do you fans need all these threads about him, his so called "haters" and his prep to prove it?

    Trust me.. Batman fans can be the most cocky and arrogant fanboys on CV. The so called "haters" are proof of it.

    The fans are what make It worse. The batman hate on CV is because of this type of silly bs.

    You know if you don't like Batman you could simply not reply to threads about him.

    Behold, the voice of reason!

    I just love how Wenjun Chew has become the sole representative of all Batman fans,that's fine by me but while we're at it what about Klandicar and his Thanos wankery? I guess all Thanos fans are dumbasses.

    You go around hating the character and low balling him every time you get an opportunity,what do you expect his fanbase to do? every time Batman gets a book,movie,game or any other form of spot light you're the first in line to complain, you diss on his fans,his supporting character(Damian),go for some introspection.

    Omg, it's a miracle! Another perfectly logical/rational human being.

    ...Who said DBZ fans are unintelligent? Cause honestly, I'd say it's a pretty smart fanbase. Comic fans have a hard time dealing with DBZ fans though, and since this is ComicVine guess which group gets thrown under the bus whether or not they did anything.

    Yeah. I'm guessing that its a bandwagon effect. The ones who hate DBZ and Batman are usually the masses who doesn't know anything about the franchise. Obviously since the experts for DBZ and Batman are in the minority, their voices get drowned out amongst the angry spiel.

    Right, because saying "Batman wins because he's Batman" takes alot of intelligence.

    You know I thought everybody was serious about that Chew guy up until now, like he was someone people used to respect around here lol.

    No one was being serious. But apparently he has a tendency for starting flame wars, whether intentional or not, especially with Batman haters. This attracted the attentions of the Batman "fanboys" who joined in the bandwagon.

    Eh, like someone above said, nobody serious ever said that.
