Description I drew this after taking in some inspiration from Frank Miller's Superman vs Batman duel in The Dark Knight Rises novel.

I always loved how no clash of villains or heroes usually compares to the drastic battle between one overly powered Alien being and one disturbed but clever sonnava'gun human.

So hey Warner Bros, like my style? Give me a job on making the next big Batman cartoon : p I wanna be the next successor to Bruce Timm's!

Batman is clearly the biggest badass in this picture (or of all time).
But, for some reason, the shape of Superman's legs and feet amuse me greatly...

Their so teeny in comparison to the rest of his body, an illustrator's trick to making a character look more strong : p

There's that and the fact that they're shaped like goofy little socks.

Everyone know Batman has some Kryptonite on him always at hand, sorry Sups but you are too much of a boy scout for my taste.

Batman wins this before it starts, because he is simply human and can anticipate an opponent.

I always saw superman as a dude that always forces his own believes on people simply because he thinks 'its the right thing to do' and sure, normally he is right, but by that statement he suppresses my freedom of choice. And because Superman is such a powerful sun of a bitch, he has to use little to no effort to make everyone agree with him out of sheer terror. People say they like superman because they know they get clobbered and locked up as a villain if they disagree with him. I a way, Superman is a terrorist of the common man's heart.

Batman on the other end, is a super rich playboy who enjoys life and lets the people choose whether to like him as a superhero or hate him as a vigilante, he doesn't care, he just does what he believes is the right thing to do. Batman is the more REAL hero of these two, yet it is Superman who steals the spotlight of cliche image of Superhero, Life isn't fair, Batman knows that, we know that and Superman makes sure we all keep knowing that if our free lives are our dear

ZoDy In reply to NotHyrit [2012-04-23 19:08:21 +0000 UTC]

..when you put it like that, Superman is a super hypocrite D: assuming he's protecting people's freedom by forcing his beliefs upon them. Wow : I this is just...

And you think it's unfair for Batman? What about Robin D: he gets the same problems plus he has to dress in really bright colours! He's a walking target!

xNocturnalKittenX In reply to ZoDy [2012-05-14 03:26:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah. XD He's a huge hypocrite. Batman tried killing Joker at one point, and Superman stops him and is all, "NOO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. MURDER IS WRONG. D<" So Batman is just kinda, "...Fine." and spares him. Then Superman turns around and kills some dude because he was "too dangerous to let live."
Obviously Batman was really pissed off about that.

Its pretty awesome seeing two great heroes like these fight another. Superman may have the powers but as long as Batman has Kryptonite it shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't mind seeing an animated version of that fight in your style or any iconic comic scene. I also like the composition of these two characters in their coloured backgrounds like its asking you 'who's side are you on?'
Awesome job mate.

ZoDy In reply to Luke-the-F0x [2012-04-16 17:27:22 +0000 UTC]

It always comes down to Kryptonite dont it? : p but I think the main power Batman has over Superman is wit, he knows how to mess with someone's head and whilst their questioning themselves he'll jump in behind them and give them a good ol' Bat ass whooping!

Luke-the-F0x In reply to ZoDy [2012-04-17 19:42:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah thats what I like about Batman, he's like Sherlock Holmes meets Macgyver. That tactic would be very useful when asking the Riddler something that'll take him a while to answer.

Hey, they're actually showing all new shorts, not the failed (but awesome) pilot from a couple years back!
So it's more like a resurrected canceled series as cartoons shorts

I mean, he's stepping on Superman's cape, once he pulls it he'll fall over and it'll be embarrassing.

Still, It'd be hilarious if this devolved into slapstick.

*Superman trips Batman*
Batman: Why you...
*Batman drags Supes cape over his head and takes use of the distraction to give him a wedgie*

I bet Batman would win, because chances are he has some kryptonite in his belt. Plus he can take certainly take a hit from a superhuman.
