Batman vs. Superman

This is another speech i did for my high school speech class, tackling the age old question, "who is better batman or superman?" and while it may not have gotten as good of a grade it was still funner to do and I think better for society.

Batman Vs. Superman

Speech by:

Jake Free

Throughout the years many conflicts have come about...right and wrong, black and white and now batman and superman. This argument of who is better, batman or superman, has been going through the comic world for years now, so much so that they even have their own comic together and although the argument is fictitious some still feel the need to defend their hero's. I however take the side of Superman.

It's Just plain logic. Superman is a better hero, has better powers, and he's an all around better American. While batman has no powers, superman has them all making him an all around better "Super" hero without super powers you are not a superhero. *Look at this page of the batman and superman comic you can clearly see that they have to go save the world but oh whats this? Batman has to hold onto Superman while they fly to the location because Batman can't fly...how pathetic. Some say that having all the powers is cheap and unfair to his foe's but this is not true. Superman didn't ask for his powers it's just the way god intended it. So if you don't like Superman you must have something against god.

Superman understands how to use his powers as well. He uses them for good to protect the planet of earth from suffering the same fate as his home planet krypton which blew up and killed everyone. While batman uses his non-powers for vengeance for his parents death and if it wasn't for the joker killing his parents there wouldn't be any batman to begin with, so in a sense isn't the joker some what of a good guy for creating this hero. The answer is of course...no, because Batman is retarded and he knows this. Look at it this way the Joker killed his parents, there for he made batman, and now batman wants to kill the Joker in revenge for making him live as the batman. The name doesn't even make sense. Batman? Bats are weak creatures that hide in caves. The only interesting thing that a bat can do is fly and oh that's right batman can't fly, and he's afraid of bats..w.t.f. Now superman can fly witch is just one more ability that fits his name superman and its all still safe for the environment.

While some may argue "oh yeah, oh yeah Jake well Batman's got a kick arse car. Which is also another negative for the batman fan's. The bat mobile is a very stylish vehicle no doubt, but seriously imagine how much gas that thing must take to shoot out flames. Plus it pollutes the environment killing us all minute by minute, and if killing us wasn't enough it is also the reason why we have global warming, which causes us to listen to Al Gore whine every...single....day.

But moving on lets look a little bit more at the history of these two "superheros" superman has been around longer. Heck he's the true traditional American hero. Superman has been around even before there was any wars between countries, when life was pure and everything was in order he was, and still is the ideal superhero. Everyone could look up to him...but then the wars erupted and during these dark times the comic book writers felt there should be a darker hero to fit the current times and so batman was created. A lot of people like batman because he's just one of us and we can relate to him, but where is the fun in that? Heck teach me how to use some fancy gadgets and give me a big enough suit and I could be batman.

A lot of people don't know this but Superman is also a christian he'd have to be though he's one of god's greatest accomplishments. But batman? Pff Batman is so vein when it comes to god as you can see he is referred to by himself and others in his comic books as the godd@mn batman.

Now let's talk about the evil these two protect us from Superman protects us from monster's and Lex Luthor who wants to rule the world and has enough intelligence and ph. D's to do so, and if your argument there is "oh yeah Jake well to bad monsters aren't real." Then my response to you would be to get a girlfriend and become a man because need I remind you that this whole argument isn't real?!? calm down! now...we can all agree that superman is good and protects us from very harmful things. Now batman...he doesn't fight anything worth mentioning... he fights mentally handicapped people...and its not cool to hit mentally retarded people. Go ahead name one enemy of Batman's who wasn't crazy. The penguin was a deranged politician, the riddler was driven mad from the pressure of working at Wayne Enterprise's, and the madhadder well I think the name speaks for itself...so even morally superman fights the right people for the the right reasons and Batman's just going around....hitting the mentally disabled people...like its no big deal.

Now lets look at their jobs. Superman works as Clark Kent in the daily planet while batman works as Bruce Wayne at his own business, Wayne Enterprises. So Superman works quietly in his newspaper office as Clark Kent, still helping the people by giving them information through the printing press and batman works as Bruce Wayne the conceited guy who rubs all his successes in everyone's face. Sorry we all can't just fall into a pool of our parents inheritance and become crime fighters.

So in conclusion I think its safe to say that superman is hands down the best superhero between the two...Now just raise your hand if you think batman is better...that's right... I told you it was hand's down.
