[QUOTE="Rob Kuntz, post: 8226196, member: 7015759"] Well. I dunno about the comparisons. I see Batman as both relatable and epic. Individually (not with JLA) he is the most iconic of the lot as he speaks to the "normal" man amid his quest against the dark side of human nature. Story-wise he is epic; he takes up his Crusade many years after his parents are killed and this includes his past history as it goes forward -- that is the definition of epic. His writers have given him the most iconic villains (though Lex Luther, who just won't die of old age, is still hanging around for Superman). I feel that DC has better story lines, especially with their origin Joker movie. Snyder's JLA cut might open a can of unexpected worms, however, as it moves in the direction of saving the world, as did its shorter theatrical release, of course (and, once again, with the same back-n-forth trope used by Marvel and DC over the years). So my bet is on DC and it is heavily influenced by what they did with Joker. [/QUOTE]
