Steve9347 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Superman's list of powers includes but is not limited to... Strength Invulnerability (which always somehow becomes affected during sh*tty movies to make us care) Flight Speed (he can run faster than Flash!) X-Ray vision Heat Vision Breath (he can inhale and exhale insane amounts, putting out fires, sucking up poisonous gas, his lungs are crazy!) Ice Breath (see above, but with freeze ability!) Super Hearing Super Vision Super Smelling Total recall Teleportation through walls (vs just busting through) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 He can also sport an erection for more than 8 hours without requiring to see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His powers are limited by technology and self-control. If you can suspend disbelief enough to believe that a person of Batman's relative young age has found the time to train himself to peak physical perfection, master every known form of martial arts, become the world's greatest detective mind, become a master of disguise (love that Matches Malone), build an entire subterranean super crime lab, design and execute the covert construction of Batcars, Batcycles, Batcopters, Batboats, Batplanes, and the 2,000 items he manages to fit into his utility belt, all while running Wayne Industries and it's assorted charities. . . and finding time to gain a reputation as Gotham's greatest millionaire playboy, then you should be able to buy into any superhero mythology they throw at you.

On this planet though, it's not a bad skill set. I'd hire him to protect Metropolis if it was my call.

Ferris Bueller had a better chance of doing all of that stuff in one day off of school than Bruce Wayne has of doing 1/10th of what we are asked to believe he's done. But, yes, the humanity/mortality/lack of actually superpower continues to be a difference-maker for Batman, and one of the things that has allowed the character to succeed for 70 years.

qwerty Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Complaining about a superheroes powers/skill set is easily one of the dumbest things i have ever read. I agree with with flasoxx entirely, if you can extend belief far enough in the first place to read/watch them... everything is... and should be just fair game. Except for squirrel girl of course... squirrel girl has full 7's across the board. She seemingly can't lose. She is a constant on running joke of the comic world. Consistencies are a problem? Well if a character stayed exactly the same for 70 plus years, with zero to minimal changes, it would simply get stale, hence interest would drop along with sales. It's a business, and people want to be entertained, and doing so with monotonous tendencies will not do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 First of all, I loved Watchmen. Second, I absolutely hate Superman. He's like that kid you used to play cops and robbers with as a kid. "I shot you, you're dead." "Nuh uh, I'm wearing a bulletproof vest...plus it's fireproof and it lets me breath underwater." Or he's Cartman in the ninja episode. He has an ability that one-ups everyone else's powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I still would like to see the Superman dies story arc in movie form. I know, I know, he comes back to life. I think the fight between him and doomsday would be awesome with the CGI technology being used nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/01/bi...e-works/?hpt=T2 No Joseph Gordon-Levitt confirmed for The Dark Knight Rises in an as-of-yet unnamed role. Lots of speculation that it is Hugo Strange, Riddler, Nightwing, Robin, or even Azrael. The inclusion of Bane in this movie really can take this story anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
