    Interestingly enough both are fictional characters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,925 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    and there lies the problem, always looking up for someone else to sort it out..

    There's no batman on that list, why not?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 537 ✭✭✭Oswald Osbourne


    Batman (unlike Jesus and Superman for examples) had no superpowers.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 226 ✭✭SlinkyToo


    He is however a Superhero.

    Spiderman ftw

    Sylar from Heroes.

    >_>
    <_<

    He's more evil than good though, so I'd probably just have to tie him up and keep him in my room...

    I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman!

    Claire from Heroes, she has the power to make me explode.

    Jesus wasn't fictional. It's been proven that he existed.

    Superman is the daddy of all superheroes.

    Who proved he existed ??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    The Phantom!

    +1 for this. How can you have a best superhero list without including batman?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,290 ✭✭✭ircoha


    Where is the Sudanese Teddy? : getting people jailed and he only Christened:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,165 ✭✭✭DEmeant0r


    Hiro from Heroes, he can stop time and kill any of your stupid superheroes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,188 ✭✭✭wil


    Terry!

    Though some say, in very hushed tones, that he really exists and is watching over all of us, just watching and waiting, till he is needed.

    I'll say yes to this also, Hiro could do it all, and you would never even known he had visited :D

    And on that note, my 1,000th post after nearly 7 years in the making :p

    ...at which he'll laugh and crack open another bottle as anarchy ensues.

    Batman! The boyfriend claims to be Batman, of course, but I don't recall Batman being small and tubby! ;) *


    *Disclaimer (In case the boyfriend reads this): Small and tubby is attractive!

    I swear... if I see you post anything with the words "ride(riding) with Batman", I'll ban you.

    HIRO!!

    i'm playing catch up with the whole Heroes craze (only half way through the first series) but frankly that guy is the only reason i've watched it.

    Hadn't even thought of it, but now that you mention it.....:p

    Actually, further proof that he is not Batman, as Batman would surely have used that line by now.

    I like Superman too, but only Dean Cain Superman, who is not really Superman. I don't think I like real Superman, just fictional Superman played by Dean Cain. Actually, I think I just like Dean Cain.

    Demonstrating restraint as only a true superhero would in the sequel when he is conflicted between showing his true feelings but ultimately destroying the thing he loves, or dabbling in the dark side and doing nothing.

    Terry Returns! :

    And this time he needs beer.:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭gurramok


    Bionic Woman! or Wonder Woman!....err scatch that, we can't have a female hero/heroine :D
    Has to be Superman, he'd knock out Hiro before he could play that time trick :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,392 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    Chuck Norris.

    end of discussion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Theresalwaysone

    There was a programme a few years back on the BBC where they tried to put a face to him and they went into detail on the information that is known about him. Also got this from Wikipedia:
    One recent study has stated that biblical scholars and most historians accept the historical existence of Jesus and regard claims against existence regarded as "effectively refuted".

    The poll is clearly flawed.
