Why is Batman better than Spider-man, and Superman? Can only answer for myself. Everyone likes what they like for their own reasons or or personal preferences. For me, batman is more appealing, more relatable, more interesting and simply "cooler" with greater and more varied overall story potential potential than the other two. I love superman as well but for different reasons and just not as much as batman. I like SpiderMan plenty but stopped reading him many years ago. I enjoy him as a character and happy he's around, but I reached a point in my teens where I had just "read enough" of his adventures and was satisfied. Same with the Xmen and to a lessor extent superman. I stopped reading dupes regularly and just "checked in" periodically To see if I wanted more. Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Unfortunately I've reached that point with batman in my life too. With the new52 and re-numbering, I realized I was only buying out of habit and they gave me the opening and excuse I needed to quit. If and when I see anything compelling from dc regarding batman, I'll be very happy to start buying again. I miss reading and enjoying batman.

Why are there no Incredible Hulk devoted podcasts and fan sites. Why doesn't the Hulk have the kind of following and love as Superman, Batman and Spider-man?

I'm afraid Superman and Wonder Woman will make Batman look like nothing in "The Dawn of Justice".

The part where Superman trashes and rips open the Batmobile humiliated Batman. The part where Wonder Woman saves Batman makes him look vulnerable and weak. Even Alfred says to Batman, "You can't win!"

Even Alfred says to Batman, "You can't win!" I think perhaps you' might be taking it all just a tad too seriously and over analyzing it. Besides, we know nothing of the actual context of these two small and edited scenes or their context etc. Batman is dc/wb's sacred cash cow. They won't do anything to paint him in an unfavorable or unflattering light. the characters and story have got to be able to flex and breathe. You can't put batman (or any character) on such a high pedestal they can't be allowed a moment of humanity, which includes moments of weakness.

Did Batman get Wonder Woman in the Justice League cartoon, only to have Superman take her and make love to her in the air in the movies (i.e. JL war and JL Atlantis)? Did Wonder Woman dump Bruce in Beyond when he became old man Wayne?

Superman is considered to be the best superhero because he is by far and away the most powerful. If Batman were more powerful than Superman he'd be tops. People will side with the stronger one, because they are stronger.

Tim Burton's Batman is better than Christopher Nolan's Batman.

Is Batman: The Brave and the Bold as good as Batman: The Animated Series?

Is Batman: The Brave and the Bold as good as Batman: The Animated Series? No. Not in my opinion. But I don't believe it set out to be. Batb set out to be its own thing which was totally different than btas. Batb succeeded at what it set out to do and is excellent in own way. Another way to look at it would be us batb as good as btas? No it's not. They're different animals. What do YOU prefer? What do YOU respond to best? Is teen titans go as good as young justice?... depends on how you like your teen titans served. A better comparison for example would be, was The Batman as good as BTAS? No. The products had similar aims and one (tb) was not as expertly handled or skillfully executed. It wasn't as artistic or original, or as dramatic or engaging. It did not have the overall appeal. There's a reason btas is regarded as a classic and tb is all but forgotten. But that's just my opinion. And really all that matters is your own opinion. Enjoy whatever you enjoy. Don't worry about what may or may not be considered better.

How did Batman come back from being destroyed by Darkseid in the comics? He wasn't "destroyed". He was basically just lost in time or some such nonsense. The whole thing was a dumb and clumsy mess. At least in my opinion.

Is the Justice League Unlimited Batman the same as Batman Beyond old man Wayne? Is it canon that Batman will end up old and alone. Both shows are part of the same DC Animated Universe so how can they not be the same person?

Both shows are part of the same DC Animated Universe so how can they not be the same person? You answered your own question. Both shows are part of the same universe, hence they're the same person. The events in those shows iare "cannon" within that shared universe. However; whose to say with certainty what Bruce's fate is since he was still alive when we last saw him in this universe. There's room for more stories. Plus with the finale ("Epilogue") imo Bruce wasn't really alone. He had Terry.

Old man Wayne did not remember traveling forward in time in the episode "Chronos". If Batman Beyond is canon then he did not get Wonder Woman (referencing JLU).

Jeremy Irons was an excellent choice for Alfred. Ben Affleck is eh. Gal Gadot is not strong enough to be Wonder Woman. Doomsday does not belong in this movie. They're stuffing too many characters into this first movie.

Why is Batman getting first billing over Superman in the Dawn of Justice movie? Why does his name come first, Batman v Superman instead of Superman v Batman?

Why is Batman getting first billing over Superman in the Dawn of Justice movie? Why does his name come first, Batman v Superman instead of Superman v Batman? because batman is more popular, which equals more drawing power. He's also played by Ben Affleck who is a bigger the biggest name amongst the stars of the movie and therefore typically gets top billing.

Wasn't Batman created in direct response to the popularity of Superman. Some would go as far as saying that if there hadn't been a Superman there would be no Batman.

I heard Batman v. Superman sucked. Seems to be the consensus. Hardly unexpected. The real surprise would've been unanimous and highly positive reviews. As much as I dislike man of steel, and as little faith I have in wb-dc-Snyder, as disappointed as I've been with 75% of what I've seen of bvs so far, and how low my expectations have been. Inside I still secretly hoped somehow I'd be surprised and pleased and they'd somehow make this something worthy and worthwhile. I don't know when I'll get to see it to fairly gauge for myself. But I'm confident in my expectations. And they're lower than ever. So sad.

I heard Christian Bale and Michael Keaton have nothing to worry about. And Lex Luthor was badly miscast. The movie has been called a trainwreck. Poor Kevin Smith and Geoff Johns who did a TV special in anticipation of the film.
