Batman vs Spiderman
Why Spiderman is better than Batman
In my opinion, Spiderman is the best comic book hero ever, and significantly superior to Batman. He is the most popular and most commercially successful superhero, according to a poll by Empire magazine in May 2011.
I grew up loving Spiderman! He was the superhero that I most related to. I would watch avidly of his exploits and victories, his life as a reluctant super hero and his emotional turmoil in his non-Spidery times. When I was a kid, I couldn’t quite understand why they made a TV show of Batman but not one of Spiderman. You remember the show with Adam West as Batman in a somewhat camp romp through Gotham City as "POW" and "SLAM" was emblazoned across the screen. And yet, no Spiderman TV show.
It was the same with the movie genre – the first Batman movie starring Michael Keaton as the caped crusader was released in 1989, but the first Spiderman was not released until 2002. Batman always seemed to get the bigger billing and all the glory .Well I think that Spiderman is the better super hero by far, and here are some reasons why…
Spiderman has the longest lasting comic; his comic ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ was created in 1962, and continues to capture the imagination of every generation, which shows how relatable his character is.
Spiderman is more agile and flexible than Batman, he has the famous spider reflexes, and he has in the past proved that he is an equal match for Batman’s brawn, when he defeated evils such as Dr Octopus, The Green Goblin, Venom and many more.
In the 2001 adaptation of the movie, I’ll be the first person to raise my hand and admit that Tobey Maguire is creepy. There is no doubt in my mind that, he is a little bit weird, and maybe not the best person in the world to represent the world’s greatest comic book hero, but never the less, for its time the movie is still impressive, more so than the Michael Keaton version of Batman.
Compare it to the new ‘Amazing Spiderman’ with Andrew Garfield in,
