![]() ![]() “Who has the better villains: Spider-Man or Batman?”ĬomicZombie: The best super-heroes always have awesome villains. If one of us can convince the other that we’re right, all the better, but I wouldn’t hold my breath… We’re going to go back and forth, at least until we have each made our cases. So, I called up Erik Slader (of ) and we settled on a topic that we come down on opposite sides of. I remembered that conversation recently, and thought that there could be some entertainment value in something like that. It was really just each kid making their case (“Tim beat the Joker! Without Batman!”). They went back and forth for probably twenty minutes, and it never devolved into shouting, or name calling, or anything like that. The middle one had a strong argument, as he thought the best Robin was the first one- Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing (and replacement Batman). The youngest was ALL ABOUT Tim Drake, and thought the other two were insane to even entertain this notion that there could ever be a Robin that measured up (for my money, he’s right, but that might be a topic for another day). The oldest loved Jason Todd, the second Robin that was murdered by the Joker, but mostly because of his time as the Red Hood since his unfortunate resurrection. They were debating which Robin was the coolest. The best one I ever heard was between three brothers: One was about twelve, the next probably 9 or 10, and the youngest was 7-ish. When I worked at a comic book store, one of my favorite things was to listen to the arguments customers would have (especially the younger ones). I’ve always been interested in these conversations. Who is cooler: Batman or Superman? Who is faster: Quicksilver or the Flash? Who would win: the Hulk or the Thing? Burton Batman or Nolan Batman? Married Spider-Man or single Spider-Man? Cyclops’ X-Men or Wolverine’s X-Men? Captain America or Iron Man? Avengers or X-Men? One of my favorite things about reading comics is the sheer amount of debates you can have about them. ![]()
