etc etc

preach

Please add a third option: "Stop making Batman is overrated threads"

Did I say he was overrated?

Yes he is. People act like he's some special and unique character when he's not. He's just a more popular version of other character types that do the same stuff but better.

Highly underrated, tbh

I'd say Bruce is pretty overrated.

Damien...eh. I'd say he's rated just fine.

Terry? Probably more underrated than most.

Dick...maybe a bit underrated, but not by much.

Jason? I'd say he's rated fine as well.

I agree with you, Batman isn't overrated at all other characters are guilty of that trophy.

@modernww2fare: Whether someone says something is or isn't overrated, it brings up the same type of discussion, a discussion that has been seen way too many times in the Batman forums.

He can be at times, but he is still freaken awesome.

He's not overrated but he's not underrated as well.

Highly overrated .

i had saved some battle threads from the past HSDK vs bruce . few of the guys there claimed bruce can win because he can kick trees down and break bullet proof glass .

they weren't trolling they seriously believed it . Its a stomp from the top, HSDK characters are super sonic- low hyper sonic. who can destroy skyscrapers , hell EOS elder tanked a nuke without any damage that was supposed to destroy japan.

Who are these character types that do the "same stuff" better? and "just" more popular,LOL that's hilarious.

@entropy_aegis: Well it would be to someone like you

Chewforce Batman is overrated.

Comic Book Batman has a lot of context behind his feats against superhumans.

Still didn't answer my question,nor on the other thread, who are these superior Batman type characters? which of them has better stories?,or villains? or supporting characters? or games? or movies? or animation? I still find you dismissing popularity with a "just" very amusing,how do you think someone becomes more popular/known? you must be born famous if you can simply dismiss popularity seeing as there are many factors that lead to popularity.

@entropy_aegis: Why should I care enough about someone who only likes Batman to answer your question?

Prove I only like Batman, I like Cap America,Superman,Bucky,Dick Grayson heck if it's just about liking then I can list down dozens of other characters in fiction.

Just answer the question to back up your statement.

Batman isn't overrated.

@entropy_aegis: The Shadow, Doc Savage, Zorro, The Spider, The Spirit, Black Bat, The Phantom, Green Hornet.

@jonny_anonymous: But all of those characters are lame.

:-P

His name is Jesus, HELLO!

He is more overused then overrated.

Entropy is actually only 97% in love with Batman, there is still 3% space in his heart for other characters.

(So long as they don't steal the spotlight from Batman, that's just not right)

Is Batman overrated? Naw pimpin', he's just 2 dope 2 smoke and some folks can't hope 2 cope with tha G.O.A.T. Word.

Opinions here, opinions there.

It can be 3% or 1%,I dont have to worry about any one stealing the spot light cause there's NO ONE in DC capable of doing so.

How are they better?

What about Tim Drake?

here we go again............... AGAIN

I'd say he's in the same boat as Dick. A bit underrated, but not by much.

Few people care about them, so they get the hipster vote that Batman's not allowed to get

These guys do the same stuff Batman does, but better?

The Phantom has better what... luck-granting ability?

That's about all I can think of. Anything else these guys can do, such as Black Bat being able to see in pitch black darkness, Batman can also do by using gadgets or his suit's built-in tech.

The Phantom doesn't have any powers. These are the characters they ripped off to make Batman.

@saren: Or maybe they just have less raging fanboys as writers and fans and therefore can do more interesting stuff with them.

Not withstanding the generic nature of the concept that was "ripped off" to create the foundation of Batman, so what? Batman has long since evolved past the basic tropes that sustain those characters to create an entire mythos unique to him. People don't like Batman just because of Batman. They like him because of Gotham and Arkham and the Joker and Dick Grayson and all the other things that made Batman the archetype for his kind of character. Nobody cares about the characters you mentioned because they haven't evolved and developed to a tenth of the extent that Batman has. What they're doing better, I don't know, unless doing better is a game where the objective is to fail.

Interesting defined as what, stuff I like and wish other people liked instead of Batman because I don't like that?

@saren: I like Batman, just not what a lot of his writers do with him or most of his fans on here.

Those characters were only considered cool or better than Batman back in the days when most of the Batman stories weren't even written.

@tdk_1997: And yet without them 80% of what makes Batman wouldn't exist.
