  1. Re:stupid shit on Superhero Smackdown · · Score: 1

    Their animosity is based on the way they fight evil. Superman is a very public figure who believes in the good of the individual. Batman is a vigilante, who uses fear and believes more in the darker side of criminals "Criminals are a cowardly and spuerstious lot." Superman does not like the way Batman operates, where as Batman sees Supes as nothing more than an Overgrown Boy Scout. This has all been documented many times over the years.

  2. Too close to call on Superhero Smackdown · · Score: 1

    Having read bother characters for most of my life, the big question comes up as to what continuity Batman and Superman are we talking about? If we go with the Dark Knight (Basically the start of elsworld type stories) series, then you are talking Batman barely winning with help from Ollie Queen (Green Arrow), Carrie(the new Robin), and the fact that Supes had just prevented Nuclear Armageddon. If you talk Classic continuity, then the edge goes to Supes, since Kryptonite was not kept in the batcave, and that was the ONLY thing that could hurt Supes in any way. I stress only because... In Current Continuity, Supes is not as invunerable as in the past. He is suseptable to magic, and magic enhanced weaponry besides kryptonite. You also are talking about an era where Supes has a tendancy of not always seeing all the possibilities. Any physical battle is easily affected by a participants will, intelligence, and wisdom, and in that area, Batman has the edge. In the end of this battle, it would be too close to call. (FYI, I'm a bigger Batman fan, but you gotta look at this from a neutral point of view). Just some food for thought.

  3. Re:Fair Play on Ebay vs. Musician · · Score: 1

    First, They are just a place for others to sell on. Second, while they are trying to do the right thing, the point of it being that this happened to this artist a number of times, and every time someone else working at E-bay noticed it, they started the whole process over, showing the lack of communication at E-bay itself. Finally, if E-bay was smart, they would check into an item such as this and verify the authenticity before making final judgement. I mean, isn't that what most auction houses do with items first? If E-bay really wants to cover their a$$, they should required that any form of media sold on their sight has to be approved by them first, and approval is subject to a copywrite check. Then again, they probably can not afford emough employees for that.
