That Batman is the Greatest HERO in all of Marvel & DC.

"I believe Bruce Wayne, who saw his parents murdered as a child and lived in the criminal underworld for several years during his training would have a very clear perception of what a criminal is." Or leave him a bit twisted and psychotic. The guy flies around in a bat suit. Sure, he stops the average street-thief and murderer. But what about the corporations? Who are no doubt accountable incomprehensibly more death and exploitation than any of those other guys, even including Batman's most prominent enemies. "His intelligence is artificially enhanced, so he may be smarter than Batman but is also less realistic." Doesn't change the fact that he could out-smart Batman any day. "I believe your paraphrasing here doesn't do Batman justice. In fact, I think this statement is completely inaccurate. Yes, on one occasion Anarky bested Batman in combat, but through your own admission this is through trickery, rather than physical skill. On several other occasions, the link provided by you shows Anarky fleeing combat with Batman." I'm paraphrasing?! I described in entirety a single incident while you bring up this other incident without giving the full story. The full story is but another testament to his superior intelligence. Anarky escaped from Batman(not because he needed to) by pitting two of his different enemies against each other, so they could beat each other up while he laughed to himself afar-off in safety. Genius! "I already admitted that this debate hasn't gone the way I had expected it to. I was thinking someone would brings up Spiderman or Ironman. Much like Anarkys only victory over Batman, I believe you are trying to beat my superior character with trickery." No trickery on my part. The superiority of my arguments are clear. Incidentally though, my fair opponent, I am indeed in agreement with you upon the immense capabilities and intentions of the character which I have presented for trickery. It is an art which he has most auspiciously mastered. "Regardless of the fact that Anarkys ideology is indeed closer to mine than Batmans, Batman is still the superior character." All of Anarky's abilities are superior to Batman, as I have presented and you have failed to refute. So how can this be, I ask you--that you say Batman is better? Alas, it cannot. Along side this you accept Anarky's dominance in principle of virtue. The choice is obvious. "Batman has the greatest arch-nemesis of any hero. The Joker. Their relationship is nothing short of epic." Too bad we're not debating which hero has the best arch-nemesis. "-Gotham City's transition into film as depicted by Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale is nothing short of brilliant in my opinion. I have watched Batman Begins and the Dark Knight more times than any other movie. -The 1989 depiction by Tim Burton and Michael Keaton was groundbreaking, setting the bar of quality for Superhero movies for decades. -In terms of Global Appeal, Batman is infinitely superior to Anarky. Batman is a pop icon. Anarky is a nobody. -Business Week of all magazines listed Batman as one of the ten most intelligent superheroes to ever appear in American comics. Entertainment Weekly named Batman as one of The 20 All Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture. -In terms of comic quality, Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns are absolute classics. Anarky is again, a nobody." The actual world of the comics and the movies has nothing to do with the debate. It says nothing about the stature of the characters within the story, as if they were real. The amount of comics sold and other such things do not make Batman any more efficient or well-principled of a crime-fighter. Anarky TRUMPS Batman.
