I would pet a tiger.
Sagerider
The first thing I would do is to figure out how I can use this to get laid.
utgort
All those saying they want to be Batman are really saying they want to be Ben Affleck.

Clean Flint Michigan.
Rothgirfellhall
Probably my normal day because would you fucking risk getting shot or trying to fly?! Id be like I've proper cracked yo
ihadtochangenickname
Bang Lois Lane, like he did in Jla
CryptFist
Be evil and destroy the planet
Supermanisbetter
Superman could be as wealthy as he wanted to be. There are more ways than I can possibly list.
silverskeeter44
I'd rather be Bruce than batman
Dudeitsonlyme
But Superman has X-ray vision
PoeticStatic
I love Batman, but Supes can fly, and that right there wins over everything Batman.
BigIrv5151
X-ray vision. Think about it.
pancreas
i don't think you know how x-rays work
itsACoppa
I'd go back to sleep and wake up as Goku
MikeReese9
Leave Earth. Y'all crazy.
bomrr
Where would you go? The Sun? That’s probably the only place you could see clearly, and know it’s close by.
bomrr
Honestly I don’t really want Superman’s powers. I know of better ones.
HeywouldJablowme
I have to admit if I was Superman I'd be a tyrant for a little bit until I got rid of the ruling class that profits from keeping us divided
GregArmstrong
Leave.

Two chicks at the same time

Besides two chicks at the same time? Nothing. I'd relax, I would sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.
MesserAuditore
To be fair, superman may be near god status but I'd rather have the money and still win all the time because I conveniently just do.
WardSharlow
Superman could easily BE Batman, but Batman can't be Superman.
xizar
Superman either gives his fuckbuddies cancer from radiation or makes their heads pop off. batman > superman.
IRPAZ
ReleaseTheBeeees
Why is everyone going on about how rich Bruce is, like Superma couldn't be a rich as he wants
ThomsonI
I mean, really, if the Clark/Supes relationship was the same as Bats/Bruce, Superman could just live like a king off charity.
ThomsonI
"Can I get the $200 steak? Rare. I think stopping the planet from being destroyed again is enough payment."
xMrALX
Probably go to space and take a picture and show flat earth believers that the Earth is round.
khora
I would check out the moon.
robingal1
If there's an alien from another planet on Earth, doesn't THAT disprove flat earthers?
ThomsonI
Find the most popular Youtubers advocating it. Get them to buy/build space suits and verify them on their channel. Have them livestream /1
ThomsonI
you flying them into space.
astrielx
You mean exactly what NASA have done, and yet people still believe it's not round?
astrielx
People dismiss evidence that goes against their beliefs, no matter how correct and true it actually is. Cognitive dissonance is a thing.
SoPoSassquatch

cantseeyou
Science mother fuckers.
kamenhokage
Superman's strength when flying actually generates a telekinetic field over what he's touching, so it's like he lifts it all equally.
GuardsmanMiku
aka: bullshit handwavium because writers can't be bothered to basic physics
barnwolf
Ya, and a family sized macaroni and cheese isn't designed to be eaten by a single person in one sitting, but that's never stopped me.
ToCrushYourEnemiesSeeThemDrivenBeforeYouToHearTheLamentation
Batman vs. Superman should have ended with Batman up to his boots inside an elephants asshole, should that "fight" ever have been serious.
FeyLily
But that elephant would actually be a kryptonite powered mech suit in disguise. Because Batman - Batman fans
iburnstuff
In a fair fight with no prep, superman would win. In an underhanded fight with time to prepare, pizza places that deliver would win.
iburnstuff
Like they did during O.J. Simpson's car chase.
BorkLocutus
Going Red Son ofc.
ThatDiceGuy
Why would you chose the commie one?
BorkLocutus
Believe me, i read Über.
BorkLocutus
Because Nazis are boring.
ThatDiceGuy
But Superman isn't a Nazi?
BorkLocutus
If you put it that way...
TheVampireDante
Until Injustice.
rdydavis177
not even then
thevortexmaster
I don’t know. Being superman imagine all the bugs you’d get in your mouth and face from flying everywhere
srs00
Yea just put on glasses though and no one will notice
NotaCop12345
But bugs don't fly at high altitudes...as long as you don't enjoy flying 10 feet over the everglades in summer, you should be alright.
iamacropduster
Yep
EpsilonBeSmallerZero
There is a book "silent summer", guess what it's title is referring to...

Superman is definitely more powerful, but he's so powerful that he's boring to me.

ElusiveBastar
Yet Wolverine and Deadpool are incredibly marketable. There can be more stakes than just dying. Spider-Man has those around him in trouble
DarkBadTheShameless
This has always been my biggest complaint about Superman. At a certain point, where’s the challenge?
Sqwuid
This is what happened to the Avengers movies till the latest one. "Why bother, we know they win."
corbynDallas
If you're bored then you're boring
Funslinger99

Batman is worse for me with how absurdly Mary Sue he is.

Shoelebubba
Yeah but the real world applications of his power set are the question here. Unchecked power.
Jhook12
Dues white bread thb.. Like.. Not even sour dough..
Falos

DetectiveSloth
They need a Superman movie written like One Punch Man.
Napathetik
Also his powers are fucking boring.
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
I've always preferred Batman, but if I were going to wake up with super powers I'd definitely take Superman over Batman.
newsguycraigevans
Damn straight
Switchlight
Watch the end of the new Justice League movie. This statement is too true
Bstone1
I’m reminded of the comic which author I can’t remember where she’s sipping wine on a pile of skulls after five minutes of superpowers.
The16thSockMonkey
Pigeon Gazette
GuardsmanMiku
as is wonderwoman. Still don't understand why that film was so popular. She also seems like a dick to boot
ChancellorMatt
In the context of the dc universe he's really not hat strong
ChancellorMatt
*that
newsguycraigevans
Holy shit! Supes never wears a hat!
ChancellorMatt
yaknow what sure, thats his real weakness, put a hat on him and he's helpless
EndlessPastrami
If he's more powerful why does Batman always beat him?
pancreas
because batman is the biggest mary sue and his super power is super plot armor.
Rapiecage
plot convenience
newsguycraigevans
Supes winning is boring. He should win. Bats winning is the only compelling story.
acinonyxjubatus
Because he's Batman.
Mikeiller
the writers like to suck up to Batman more
KanyeWesticularCancer
Honestly. And all powerful characters can be compelling like Dr. Manhattan but there’s nothing interesting about Superman.
LamentableLamp
Dr. Manhattan is by far my favourite super hero/god
ElusiveBastar
How so? Good writers have done great things with him. Superman is usually best when the comics focus on the Man rather than the Super
GuardsmanMiku
i have been convinced but a friend that the original superman stuff was good because it was about the social issues n stuff not fights
KanyeWesticularCancer
His character can be explained by him being sad that he’s too powerful and that he’s not human. By contrast Dr Manhattan is a man-
KanyeWesticularCancer
Who became a god and began to lose touch with humanity because they are so beneath him, yet he still retains a bit of human fallibility.
KanyeWesticularCancer
Superman is a Boy Scout unless they make him arbitrarily evil.
ElusiveBastar
Not really. Superman is not upset at being too powerful. He is upset he can’t do more maybe. Plus he goes up against a lot of powerful foes
ElusiveBastar
DC (comics) do a good job though of having threatening villains. Superman often goes up against people that destroy planets.
GuardsmanMiku
but thats generally pretty dumb
ElusiveBastar
Yeah, hence COMIC book. They are best when exploring philosophies, ideology and more emotional engagement. Logic is not the core engagement.
ElusiveBastar
If that breaks your suspension of disbelief then some superheroes are not for you and that’s fine. But don’t discount them for ‘overpowered’
ElusiveBastar
Plus often the best stories of Superman are when he is challenge by something outside his powers. For example Kingdom Come.
NyQuilDaydream
DC does a good job with their normal people that have awesome skills and terrible with beings that have superpowers.
ElusiveBastar
Maybe the movies but most other cases I don’t think so. Most of the league have powers and they all do pretty well content wise.
ElusiveBastar
Also besides the Batman family, Suicide Squad, and Green Arrow, who else is their normal but skilled heroes?
FancySharkDinnerParty
I feel like they have to make these absurdly powerful characters just so that their other absurdly powerful character can have a challenge.
ElusiveBastar
Probably true. That is the nature of all fiction though. Always a bigger fish. They are pretty consistent on everyone being badass though.
ElusiveBastar
Is the problem with Green Lantern he can create anything with his mind? Is Flash too fast? Does Batman have enough money for his toys?
FancySharkDinnerParty
GL is limited by imagination and willpower, Flash (while easily OP) only has the one main power, Batman is just a dude underneath the suit>
HD226868
Having uber-powerful heroes in a story is boring. Having uber-powerful heroes in real life would be a godsend.
spookyjeff
Unless their name is Dr. Manhattan.
Beepity
Literally
Mekeji
I think Overlord, Hellsing, OPM, Tanya, and others will show that can be very entertaining. You just have to make the character interesting
Un0riginalComment
I mean bill gates did more for advancing humanity then most people

Money is not a superpower.
ICOPPEDTHISHOUSE
Batman?
Rapiecage
tell that to batman, iron man, black panther, doctor doom, sunspot, and I'm sure many more
Gaiiiii
Yes cause that 1 person would enslave the world in the end, thinking his moral is correct for everyone :)
QuotesBecausePeopleDontTrustStrangers
Only in your mind does morality equate to enslavement. You're just projecting your fear in hopes of deterring people from gaining power.
HD226868
Then that's not a 'hero'.
TheAmazingSpiderMan
This chain of comments basically just outlined the plot to Batman vs Superman.
Gaiiiii
I still have not seen the movie. Christian Bale is the only true batman for me :(
IAmNotASkeleton
Prepare for lectures about Kevin Conroy.
ClaudeWicked
I'd probably just angst about how I can't figure out what to do to NOT be evil.
edgeofadhesion
I think this might be the plot of Injustice.
bestofallpossibleworlds
And Superman: Red Son.

Playboy billionaire philanthropist*
theoutdoorrageous
and you dont think super powers would allow for both as well?
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
The "lots of money" idea is pretty limited.

No no, you don't BECOME HIM, you just wake up and are him. If any of us were to wake up as batman we'd just be another ZUCK.

X-Ray vision. Can make diamonds any time he wants and has a completely unrecognizable alter ego somehow. But he can't give blood so...
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Please, if you have Superman's abilities you can get or make as much money as you want
Himura82
You'd be an alien though and would be under heavy surveillance and feared by many/most people. Batman likely wouldn't have these problems.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
I mean, what does heavy surveillance achieve when you're superman in a world without kryptonite? As for feared, yeah, because the giant 1/?
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Insane bat-themed vigilante wouldn't scare the shit out of people in the real world as much as in comics 2/2
Himura82
Just don't put on the batsuit and you're still the world's best detective, know 20 languages, master of 127 forms of martial arts and rich..
Himura82
I just wouldn't want to be feared by everyone to the point where I can't live in peace anywhere. Flying would be awesome though no doubt.
TryingNotToComment
Batman's the same without playboy
Mikeiller
That's the fun part though
LincLoud
In the current design. In the Christian Bale version they kept in the playboy, same with the Keaton Batman. The current Batman has ->

abandoned most of what made him so appealing. Now he's just gritty with a deep voice.
jorynagel
*Unpopular opinion* Iron man > Batman.
namiasdf
Depends on how much you like emos.
GreenYawgmoth
How is this unpopular? Everyone I know would choose iron man over batman for anything without hesitation.
ConfuMeister
Iron man isn't a playboy? I thought he was tied to that ginger woman.

Horus175
When I was a kid I was all about Batman but between all the DC bombs and the MCU I realize Marvel comics just have better stories. (1)
Horus175
Most powered DC heroes have to have some stupid Achilles-heel weakness or there'd be no story. Marvel characters are better balanced. (end)
PandoBox
Well marvel have a good set of straight ultra powered char... Beyonder, LT, one above all, molecule man, so on...
Reigekiz
Yep... Seems like he don't knows a shit about Marvel or DC. how the fuck Hulk wa a balanced character on Planet Hulk and World War Hulk 1/2
theboy2100
Considering Justice League didn’t even break even. That’s a popular opinion. MARVEL > Deviant Art > child with a pencil > DC

For the movies, at least. Dark knights metal is so fucking good.

CassiusPolybius
That's all mental; it probably wouldn't transfer. Also, even if it did, Superman explicitly is clever and capable even without his powers.
KhadaJhinFOUR
Yeah but rocks
Darkspire
Batman can also be killed by rocks.

to be fair Kryptonite is radioactive and would kill Batman too. So the fear of rocks goes both ways
