heroes

I've had a worrying discussion with emb, about heroes. Superheroes in fact.

He, incorrectly, doesn't think that Batman is a superhero. This is obviously wrong, so wrong in fact that a major attempt to lighten his foolish assumptions was made. But my logical and true conclusions fell on deaf ears.

Batman is my favorite, and I think the best hero to come from comic books, even though he's a sociopath

emb is just wrong

mmm - a toughie - Batman is also my fav comic book hero, but do you need to have super powers to be a superhero? If so, I'm not sure he qualifies...

NO!

Super heroes with super power are dependant on them. In many cases Batman has saved his fellow heroes, purely as they are not as rounded as the Batman!

As such he is the best!

In my unbiased opinion of course

I agree that Batman is the best comic book character. Ever.

I'm just not sure that you can add 'super' to the front of 'hero' if they don't have super powers...

... think of it this way - Buffy is a superhero. Xander has saved her life many times, but is only a hero...
