    Marge: Homer, there's a man here who thinks he can help you.
    Homer: Batman?
    Marge: No, he's a scientist.
    Homer: Batman's a scientist.
    Marge: It's NOT Batman.

    It's one of those that always comes up.
    Why is it that we accept extra strength as a super power but not massive intelligence?

    Can't stop a speeding bullet no matter how massive your intelligence.

    Flash can avoid it but if hit is dead, Cyclops would be killed, Storm would be killed, WonderWoman can deflect but if hit would be killed.
    I used strength as an example. We seem to consider any physical extremes as a super power but not intelligence? why?

    Of course they're not the same, don't be daft. You've gotta be embalmed by a member of the Genuine Egyptian Embalmers Guild of Egypt to be a proper Mummy.

    Batman has since moved on from fighting crime so he no longer is a superhero. He is now an advocate for father's rights.

    Not true..... he's also got super strength, super-healing, enhanced agility and spider-sense. And I don't even read the comics.

    For some reason he has to create his own web though. Which is weird, that a guy with spider-based powers didn't get web.:confused:

    He was a superhero, way back in a land that time forgot.
    Then we thought he could fly and make words come out of villains mouths.
    Today we know he is a malevolent psychopath who can't actually fly but uses amazing toys to simulate daring deeds.
    He strikes against the criminals and master mind crooks, not out of commitment, justice and decency but for revenge and bloodlust.
    In another time he'd be hunted down and killed I tell ya, hunted down and killed.

    Takes way more than discussing Batman to be a nerd. He's a superhero that even non nerds like.

    No because that would be just silly. A thread on whether mummus and Zombies can exist together in an egaltarian society might provoke more debate however.

    When you consider that Batman and Ironmans only super powers are money and technology, Bill Gates is something of a disappointment.
