Who's your favourite superhero, and which one would you choose to be, given the chance?

Batman?

Superman?

Spiderman?

....?

Personally I like Batman (Christian Bale is excellent, though it was sad to see him getting nicked at Belgravia recently...even though I'd have loved to have been the arresting officer...), and Daredevil is good too.

Shee-ra Princess of Power. Mainly because female super heroes suck so there is a lack of choice element, but also coz she's cool and retro, and lets face it He-man was a bit of a stud in his day.

Comic Batman reaches end of road

Warning: If you do not want to know about the plot of Batman RIP, stop reading now.

Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne has apparently been killed off in the latest issue of the superhero comic. Scottish writer Grant Morrison revealed earlier this week that Wayne would either retire or be killed in a clash with crime syndicate Black Glove.

The story - Batman RIP - sees Batman shot by villain Simon Hurt, who claims to be Wayne's father Dr Thomas Wayne. The caped crusader first appeared in comics in 1939, and has spawned a 1960s TV series and a host of films. The "death" of Wayne's father - shot alongside his mother by a robber when he was a boy - was the catalyst for the young industrialist to become the vigilante crime fighter Batman.

New Batman?

In the final scene, Hurt tries to escape in a helicopter after shooting Batman.
But the wounded superhero throws himself at the helicopter, causing it to crash. The comic story ends without a frame showing Wayne's body, however. Morrison said earlier this week:

"This is the end of Bruce Wayne as Batman. But, like I say, it's so much better than death. People have killed characters in the past but to me, that kind of ends the story. I like to keep the story twisting and turning. So what I am doing is a fate worse than death. Things that no-one would expect to happen to these guys at all."

Wayne may be dead, but publisher DC Comics shows no sign of bringing to an end the Batman franchise. Morrison would not reveal who would be the new Batman, but the frontrunners include Tim Drake, who has been Robin since 1991, and Dick Grayson - the original Boy Wonder - who now protects Gotham City as Nightwing. It is not the first time a superhero has met an unfortunate end in the comic world. Last year, Captain America was killed after being shot by a sniper in New York.

I turned up to work with my underpantses outside my trousers one morning after the Christmas party. The Super didn't think I was too super.

I'd have to say Batman, couldn't be spiderman or superman (I'm afraid of heights). Batman does it the old fashioned way!
