If Batman and Superman have a crime to solve in a comic, they work together cooperatively and figure it out without any one hero hogging the spotlight. If Player-Batman and Player-Superman have a crime to solve, Player-Superman uses his microscopic vision to instantly identify the trace DNA of the criminal, then uses his near-light speed movement powers to surreptitiously take a strand of hair from everyone in a 50-mile radius, then he applies his super-genius intellect to examining each of those hairs. Within moments he has identified the person who committed the crime, flies to the person's hideout (identified with telescopic and x-ray vision), punches the villain in the nose with his planet-breaking fists and flies him off to jail. An hour to solve any crime, any time, any where. Meanwhile, Batman dusts the room for fingerprints.Conversely, a villain that could threaten Superman physically would absolutely destroy Batman in a physical matchup. And none of Batman's villains could pose any sort of physical threat to Superman. The comics get around it by conveniently having a Batman-level villain and a Superman-level villain attack at the same time. Batman and SUperman then concentrate on their appropriate villain level. But what if Player Superman took an extra second to punch out, say, Penguin, before he begins wrestling with Bizarro or Braniac or whoever? What would there be for Player Batman to do?In summary, players of superheroes are unlikely to act as illogically as their comic book counterparts. If the power scale gets too out of whack, then it really is a very difficult genre to play.</blockquote>
