Just stumbled across this really outdated post.

It usually depends according to writer, but here is a good example of how Batman has total recall:

@Onemoreposter: I personally enjoyed Avengers; Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I thought that, despite the directing towards children, it was well done in that it usually would follow a storyline before branching off into the next one (typical Marvel after-credits tradition, eh?). I also enjoyed seeing Power Man and Iron Fist; especially after seeing the wannabe versions that appear in Ultimate Spider-man. I also enjoyed how most of the fight scenes had something new to offer & were unique. That being said, I thought the art degenerated fairly quickly and some corny dialogue was thrown in (it had occurred in the beginning, presumably for more appeal to children).

Is Avengers: EMH better than Justice League/JLU? No, not by any stretch. But it is still an enjoyable show; and not including Spectacular Spider-man (Marvel's BTAS, =)), I would rank it Marvel's best in terms of the animation department.

Whoa, hello beautifu...Oh snap! (runs out disgusted when he realizes that "she" is a man in Spartan armor).

I know that I probably have summoned the wrath of a million fanboys but please permit me to explain. It's no secret that the predecessors to DC (Action Comics & Detective Comics namely) revolutionized the comic book industry with the superhero. It's also no secret that Marvel began it's runs as Timely after DC. That being put aside, I've also felt like DC has always had to "catch up" with Marvel's standard. For instance, Marvel began operating with the struggle to create realistic situations and characters in their mediums; something which DC originally lacked (granted, people running around in leotards with superpowers is not very realistic) but you understand my point, hopefully. Marvel then kick-started the Bronze Age with the death of Gwen Stacy; this would turn to be a good thing for DC since about this time, DC would be following along with mature topics like drug abuse & murder. And later, Marvel would be the first comic book company ever to create a shared cinematic universe involving more than one franchise or character. Now, people are begging DC for a justice league movie; which is doomed to face the Avengers II in 2015 & the characters that everyone have already grown to love. While DC has paved the pathway for many comic book concepts and ideas (like the multiverse for instance), and ruled the Golden Age with a passionate grip on the comics industry, DC has been doing a lot of attempting to catch up with Marvel. The best example of this is the DC implosion of the 70s.

I still love DC (Animal Man, Batman, Kingdom Come, even Auqaman) but I feel like Marvel understands its fanbase more and might be slightly more "progressive" . Anyone else?

I kind of dislike Henry Pym, although I suppose the character is engineered to be disliked (after all, Stan Lee had him beat his wife!) Is it retarded that I like Scott Lang better than Pym?

I also don't really enjoy Speedball that much, he seems to be a rather annoying geek; although I liked Penance in Civil War.

I can't say I hate these characters; I just don't like them very much.

Good luck, DC. I love you, but once again, you find yourself trying to catch up with marvel's template (post-golden age)

Marvel made people enjoy true-to-life heroes, you eventually had to follow thru with characters like firestorm.

Marvel invented the Bronze Age and you of course, had to follow through with drug-addicted sidekicks (although you eventually made infinite crisis! Brownie points!).

Marvel later would be the first to make movies within a shared universe (DC, the fanbase was begging for it long before the marvel films).

DC, do something RADICAL! Some amazing breakthrough!

Seems to be perceptive. Willing to participate in this forum game; therefore doesn't try to be cold and stiff in manner. Ah, and descriptive username.

@acer51: Everyone, chill! Toby was a great Spidey, Andy was a great spidey! They both had and lacked individual traits from their comic book counterparts. In the comics, Peter Parker was more intelligent (Andy's spidey built Web-Shooters), in the comics Peter Parker was geeky (Toby), in the comics Spidey struggled with guilt for his uncle's death (Toby), in the comics Spidey went for Gwen first (Andy). Seriously, get back on topic or I'll report spam...Sheeshhhhh..We are talking about Spectacular Spider-Man's status as greatest animated representation of Spidey, not Toby and Andy's status as in who is the best actor. Take your discussion to a new thread please.

On topic, I believe Spectacular Spider-Man is the best due to its dialogue, quips, brilliant writing, and justice to the characters. The continuity is the best I have ever seen in an animated series.

This is the guy built web shooters at 15, the guy who has proven to outsmart even Iron Man, and the guy who managed to make a stealth suit that makes the wearer completely invisible. Last time I checked, Bats didn't invent anything like that. And stealth is his department.

Cures a flesh eating disease in minutes...

Hank Pym, himself, states that Spider-man is smarter than him...

And I didn't think Spidey was good at prep until he made this baby in Ends of the Earth...

This suit can detect Chameleon's specific heart beat, can give Spidey special vision that will let him know about Mysterio's illusions, electrical harpoons for Rhino, can find Sandman's "Queen Bee" sand grain where his thoughts are, is electricity proof for Electro, has magnetic webbing that can cut transmissions, and I even heard it gives him 100 ton class strength. DAMN!!! Spidey's no good at prep my ass!

Yes! Last I heard, the ability to construct an adhesive polymer that expands upon contact, let alone launch it is a fairly good example of ingenuity! His webshooters required all three fields of polymer science (polymer characterization, polymer physics, and polymer chemistry), physics, physical chemistry, engineering in order to construct pressure vessels, knowledge of basic resigns, and in some cases mechanical engineering (ultimate webshooters which use motors from what I can tell). He later expands his knowledge to the field of robotics and electronic engineering and in the ultimate universe he has a fairly good knowledge of HTML and Java. His humor does not indicate stupidity!

@PunkMastaFlex: Peter Parker is a highly intelligent nerd who is very smart and the brightest kid on the block but his studious side has to have some relief; that's where spider-man comes in. He is Peter's fun-loving, easier going side that Peter uses to escape from the stress of being a nerd. Not to mention, last I checked, it is called humor. Humor does necessarily indicate idiocy.
