    Magneto's battling run in the tournament comes to an end as Spider-Man leaps into the semi-finals. At least Magneto has the consolation of being the supervillain who lasted the longest.

    We now know a superhero will be crowned our ultimate champion but which one shall it be? Batman was victorious in the Best Superhero tournament and is in the hunt to be named the undisputed champion, but I would suggest the competition he faces in this semi-final is much stiffer than he faced in the previous tournament: Superman, Captain America and Spider-Man are three characters whose legacies can fairly be compared with the Caped Crusader.

    I will look to have the draw for the semi-final posted tomorrow evening after about 8 pm. Hope to see you there as the tournament reaches its dramatic conclusion. :cool:

    Okay folks, the draw for the semi-finals has been made and we have two truly heavyweight encounters on the way.

    To reflect the fact that the stakes are higher, we are going to raise the quota to 5 votes needed to advance.

    So without further ado, let's get the first semi-final up and running which is an epic DC vs Marvel clash...





    Superman

    VS










    Spider-Man

    What a match-up to start with we have here. It's Clark Kent's alter ego, the Man of Steel, Superman, taking on Peter Parker's alter ego, New York's web-slinger, Spider-Man.

    It's a battle of two of the most iconic characters of all time and it's over to you to determine which one of them should reach the final. First one to 5 votes takes the tie. Cast your votes now.

    Wow what was a fantastic tie. Superman raced into a 4-1 lead and seemed to be on the brink of a comfortable win, only for three straight votes to go to Spider-Man and level the tie. But it was Superman that secured the all-important vote that sees him soar into the final.

    Now we come to the final semi-final which is another massive DC vs Marvel clash...




    Batman

    VS










    Captain America

    It's a battle of two of the oldest and most beloved superheroes as Gotham's Caped Crusader and Justice League member, Batman, faces off against the shield-throwing supersoldier and Avengers member, Captain America.

    Will the Best Superhero tournament's champ, Batman, advance to make it an all-DC final, or has he finally met his match in the last-surviving Marvel hero, Captain America.

    I'm fascinated to see how this one plays out. First to 5 votes takes the spot in the final. Vote now!

    Not quite the same level of excitement in our second semi-final compared to our first one, as a dominant Batman defeats Captain America to secure a place in the final.

    We now know the two superheroes who will fight for your support. I hope to have the details of the final posted in around a half an hour or so. Stay tuned. :cool:

    We began this tournament with 64 of the most impressive performers from our Best Superhero tournament and Best Supervillain tournament respectively, all doing battle to determine who would be our ultimate champion.

    There were surprises along the way, and many big casualties. But we at last have our final two participants, and what a showdown it is: surely the two most iconic superheroes of all time clashing as Superman takes on Batman!

    Some of you may recall that these two met in the Best Superhero tournament's quarter-finals, and on that occasion it was Batman that prevailed. It was a decision that led to some raised eyebrows from Superman fans, and left Batman fans defending the result.

    Well now we will truly get to the bottom of how Boardsies feel about these two rivals!

    As was the case with the previous tournaments, to ensure maximum participation, in this final we will have a 24 hour time limit for receiving votes. Simply put, the superhero with the most votes by this time tomorrow evening will be the winner!

    (Note - if it's a tie after the time limit expires then I will do a Ceann Comhairle job and cast a vote to break the deadlock.)

    Now let us eye up our finalists...





    Superman

    Path to the Final

    Rd 2 - Defeated Ra'as al Ghul
    Rd of 16 - Defeated Deadpool

    S-Finals - Defeated Captain America


    It now turns to you folks to settle the age-old argument: who is the greatest, Superman or Batman? The vote will close tomorrow aka Tuesday, May 17th, at 10 p.m.

    So boardsies, for the final time in this game, cast your votes now.

    Superman, though I think Batman may have already beaten superman in the superheroes competition.

    I fear this will be massively one sided.

    I'd been hoping to see a clash between Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne in this final, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

    No matter who takes the title, this has been another great competition and once again, a cracking job at pulling it all together Mr. Nice Guy, so cheers for taking the time to host all 3 competitions.

    With that said, my vote (and I'm sure this is no surprise to anyone who's been keeping a close eye on proceedings) goes to Batman.
