For decades, fans have argued who is the better superhero, Superman or Batman. It recently occurred to me that the best way to determine this is to see how they’d fare if one replaced the other on their comic covers. Will one fare better than the other? This should decide once and for all who's superior! I selected six covers and then created six alternative images.
First up, Superman #32. Superman is being hit by multiple lightning bolts--
Next, Action Comics #357, featuring kids with kryptonite. Looks like Superman is in loads of trouble--
Let's look at a fairly famous cover, Batman #497, where Bane broke Batman's back--
Next, Detective Comics #583. Batman is cooler when he's surrounded by bats!
Two wins for Superman. Two wins for Batman. It's a close race! Let's take a look at a cover that has both heroes on it, World's Finest #54--
Now, let’s replace Batman with Superman and Superman with Batman.
Lastly, Detective Comics Vol. 2 #37, the deciding image! Batman lives in a mansion and has a butler--

Can't type any comment here. Laughing too hard.
I thought you'd compare Wayne Manor with the Fortress of Solitude--which has no one, not even a kindly butler--hence the Solitude. Batman still wins!
Too good.
Batman is either severely injured or dead in two of those covers. The worst things that happen to Superman are an upset butler and rowdy children.
Also, shouldn't Superman surrounded by supers be Superboy, Supergirl, etc.? He's not superintendentman.
Hmmm, by that logic Batman should be surrounded by Batmite, Bathound, and perhaps the Batmobile. Nope. If Batman gets bats, Superman gets supers.
This is one of the best things I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of shit.
If Batman is surrounded by bats, wouldn't he eventually contract rabies?
You're the best, Kerry.
Batman would destroy superman mainly because batman is smarter and doesn't rely on superpowers, but superman always relies on his powers and that's why he gets killed by doomsday in the old comics.
suck it robin
In that World's Finest cover, Robin wins. I can see why you wouldn't know this without the aid of telepathy, but that ginger lass in the tight sweater is clearly admiring Dick's stamina.
True! Hadn't thought of that.
"Batman would destroy superman mainly because batman is smarter and doesn't rely on superpowers, but superman always relies on his powers and that's why he gets killed by doomsday in the old comics."
Alert: Irrational fanboy who is unable to recognize a joke post and doesn't even know Superman is highly smart and DOESN'T rely on his powers.
And no, Batman wouldn't "destroy" Superman.
HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HHAAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
The bicycle one with Robin got me laughing a while, but I have honestly been looking and laughing at your Super Antics stuff for probably 40 minutes now. Thank you!!!
