His rogues' gallery is by far the best in comic-books.Batman is weird. I enjoy reading Bat books, but not for Bruce. Everyone around him (villains and allies) are way more interesting as characters.

I definitely think Batman has the best Rogues gallery. But I love when they delve into his own broken psyche.Batman is weird. I enjoy reading Bat books, but not for Bruce. Everyone around him (villains and allies) are way more interesting as characters.
I don't know too much about superheroes, but was superman the first? The oldest being I'd classify as a superhero would be Gilgamesh. But I guess superhero is a loose term. Is beowulf a superhero? Or Sherlock Holmes? Do you have to be above human limit? If so, batman is technically not a superhero, depending on the issue. How close to a god can you be without being considered just a god? Thor's both a superhero and a god.You have to go with the first and the best. Superman.

Absolutely. One of my favorites.I think Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is one of the greatest works in comics, for that very reason. And the jaw-dropping Dave McKean art, for that matter.
Good call on Spider-Man rouges. I think my favorite villains are the ones that don't start out as the hero's enemy but instead have a legitimate beef with a 3rd party and get lost and take it too far requiring the hero's intervention. Mr Freeze, Clayface, The Sandman, even Black Panther's Killmonger and the like all come of as more complex and sympathetic this way. Batman and Spidey seem to have the most of these.Though, as far as rogues galleries go, I think Spider-Man's is top stuff, too. At a time when lots of superheroes were fighting communists and varying sorts of underground dwellers and aliens (the early Avengers stories are filled with these sorts of filler villains), Spider-Man right off the bat had Dr. Octopus, The Lizard, The Vulture, Mysterio, Kraven, The Sandman, The Green Goblin, and many others that are absolutely iconic, to this day.
I have a confession: I watched all of Winter Soldier twice and I can't remember anything from that movie still. I remember more from my one time watching the Avatar movie with James Cameron than I remember Winter Soldier.
Well, in the Arrowverse (RIP Salmon Ladder), it is defined as being someone incredibly attractive, who also happens to inhabit a world of diverse and attractive people with diverse genders and sexualities.
There are worse things. Did I mention the whole ... attractive part? I mean, in all the multiverse, with all the Earths, it's funny how all them have drop-dead gorgeous people everywhere and every location on every earth strangely resembles Vancouver.
Yeah but thats the CW as a whole though - Beautiful young people full of angst and the older but still attractive older people they interact with.
