[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 257543, member: 151"] Actually, in Marvel's world, most of the heroes are fairly stratified. When Galactus breezes into town, Spidey and Daredevil are shown hanging out on a rooftop, sitting it out. They cover a pretty wide range, just like the DC universe. Batman isn't a heavy-hitter on straight powers, but his other talents (and his mania) more than compensate for this. The real problem with the JLA is that they are all so powerful, the threats have to be of ridiculous level to compensate. When most of the individuals can defeat world-threats on their own, the level of incredulity has to increase. Most of the JLA (and Avengers, for that matter) require a diverse set of skills to combat a wide variety of threats...characters like Batman address this. That, and you need to consider the first rule of the DC Universe: [i]"With enough preparation time and resources, Batman can defeat [b]ANYONE[/b]."[/i] :D The fact of the matter is that the concept is sound for a movie. The animated film will be hard to beat, though. The director of 'Das Boot' and the writer of 'Seven' are certainly better than some choices that could have been made...if they 'get it'. [i][b]"So you're the Batman. I heard you were crazy...didn't know you were stupid."[/b] -- Superman, after Batman attempts to punch him.[/i] [/QUOTE]
