Batman or Superman?

I guess it's a sign of our increasingly disgusting society that the main flaw in Superman's character is (according to internet intelligentsia) he's "too moral".

It's not a "too moral" thing for me. To me it's obvious that Superman was created for an older generation of kids. Batman transcends generations.

Batman technically isn't a superhero.....but that's what makes him so interesting. Batman can be taken out by anybody at anytime. Superman can be taken out by a green rock.

Neither, but if I had to choose, it would be Batman.

When I was a kid, most of the DC superheroes were too perfect and thus - boring. The only DC superhero that I liked was the Flash. I understand that DC darkened the characters later on, but I was out of comics by then. I really enjoyed the animated Justice League Unlimited series. The characters had definitely taken on a Marvel-like flavor in that show.

The flawed superheroes of Marvel were a lot more interesting (and easier to vicariously live through). Spider-man was my favorite, by far. Later on, I also really enjoyed X-Men, though it got a bit preachy at times.
