Daredevil, because he's a way cooler character, and Marvel is better than DC

Batman

I always thought DD and Batman had the wrong personas.

Mat, being blind, would have been much more logical as batman. And Bruce, wanting to strike fear into the hearts of evildoers would have been much better picking a devil motiff.

I know, different companies, it's just a shane.

I wouldn't mind them teaming up. Who knows, if Marvel and DC do another crossover it's certainly possible!

(Even if all their crossovers are horrible)

Batman has already won in the popular culture sense of the word, so Batman wins.

Batman. I expect all he needs to do is drop something that fucks up sound waves and voila, Daredevil has no advantage.

Daredevil is well-trained, and his senses are such that he can "see" in all directions, but he's primarily a street fighter, fairly limited in his repertoire, and doesn't use a lot of gadgets. He'd put up a fight, but I think in a straight physical confrontation (no gadgets) Batman would win.

Everyone in this thread saying batman is ableist.

Batman bc he uses a lot of toys and has mastered several fighting styles

DD would win a personality contest

A tube of toothpaste would win a personality contest with Batman.

Harsh. But true.

People say this all the time, but I've always thought Batman/Bruce Wayne had a pretty good personality? But I've never read any comics. But based on the Nolan trilogy, the Batman Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and various animated DC movies I have seen, he seems way more complicated and personable than what I hear people say on the web.

He does have a good personality -- he's a bit stoic and a control freak, but he's also capable of great warmth. Most people don't read comics, though, they just go by what they see on Facebook memes.

Yeah. And he can be a sarcastic asshole. It isn't out in the open like Deadpool or Tony Stark, but it is there. He obviously loves his family (the Batkids, Alfred). He also seems to have great respect (love?) for certain allies.

bit harsh this imo

Misfire, nonny?

No I thought the bit about facebook memes was a little bashy

The problem with Batman is that Batman has been done and redone and done again so often that whatever quirks any one author gives him get ironed out by the next and so on and so on. So any real personality doesn't stick (unless he's not Bruce Wayne) and the overall image just coalesces one big caped ball of amorphous manpain.

How does that differ from any other comic book character?

I'd say Superman has kept his essential personality a lot more steadily than Batman has over the years.

It might be because of what Supes started out as (a checklist of the everyman who is secretly godlike) rather than what Bats did (1%er who is so rich and smart that he can make himself into someone who is able to fight gods) but I think the progression of multimedia portrayals really capture it best. Batman goes from not a stand out to quirky to kind of an asshole to more and more bland with each new retelling.

Superman... kind of just keeps the bullet points. Much like Spidey does.

Outside of Frank Miller, that's not actually true, but do go ahead and tell me and other comic book fans what our favorite comic book characters are like while not actually reading comics yourself.

Admittedly, the last time I cared to look at a Batman comic it was actually a Joker's Asylum comic (2010 I think?), but didn't I just say that the authors of different comic runs of Batman do give him divergent traits?

The problem is it all comes out in the wash. The Batman video games are probably the best current example of Batman boiled down to the Batman essence: big silent hyperintelligent guy in a cape with all of the manpain and maybe a thing for Catwoman. Also about as much personality as a piece of cardboard.

Round 1: Daredevil
Round 2: Daredevil
Round 3: Batman.

Because Batman's superpower is to pull a bat-thingy out of his bat-ass in the final act to bat-own any bat-antagonist in the bat-universe.
