Superman <heart> Wonder Woman

[samurainoir]

I think we've seen both interpretations of Bruce/Batman... every writer seems to bring their own version of that to the table... same with Clark/Superman. Although Pre-Crisis, I think the argument could easily be made that Clark was the disguise, while Post-Crisis, Byrne made it abundantly clear that Clark was the real deal... particularly in having him so emotionally removed from his Kryptonian heritage.

I really do have to recommend Batman Flashpoint though for a discussion around "who's real". I don't think it's a secret that Thomas Wayne is the Batman in Flashpoint... so a person who's adult personality was already pretty much established when his son died at the hands of Joe Chill. I'd love to hear what people who have read Batman Flashpoint think of the fate of Martha Wayne.

Bruce is a pimp ..., He could so hit that better than the last Boy Scout .

I always liked the idea of Aquaman and WonderWoman...

Both royalty...

Both serving the greek gods if you will...

Both strong enough... (you can't survive the pressure of the deep sea without some strength)

I'm avoid Flashpoint like the plague.

I just can't bring myself to care about it.

Aquaman kisses Wonder Woman in order to awaken her during Waid/Hitch's Queen of Fables storyline. (I guess as a King he's close enough to a prince to wake the princess)

Many many years before Smallville, where Lois dated both Aquaman and Green Arrow before settling on Clark.

[thunderbolt]

In the DCU its manufactured by Wayne Pharmacuticals, so Bruce gets it for free.

Same here....dropped it at issue 3...Can't be bothered....all things considered with where they're going after it...

Don't see it that way, He is Bruce, it's the little boy inside of him who seeks
retribution on criminals for stealing his childhood....without Bruce he is no better than the criminals he fights.

That's a valid interpretation, but I'm more of the mind that Batman was born the instant the Waynes were murdered. What he was didn't have a name until he became Batman.

Kevin Conroy subscribes to this interpretation as well.

Yes, Absolutely but I believe it is the Waynes values that were instilled into Bruce that keeps The Batman, his rage inside him from overtaking him completely. I think that alone is what makes Batman such an amazing and very complex character.

Kevin Conroy perfectly conveys the controlled Rage of Batman.....IMO he's the perfect Batman.
