Dc Comics:

This year has been jam-packed with debate topics. You have Batman Vs. Superman, Captain America vs Iron Man in Civil War (P.S. Buy the graphic novel to know the whole story.), but there are a few things you should know about these debates.

One thing you should know is Source Material all these comic movies are based of the comics. For Batman Vs. Superman, this is loosely based off the Dark Knight Returns and a few other comics (http://www.dccomics.com/graphic-novels/batman-vs-superman).

spoilers ahead

Batman's costume is very similar to what he wore in Dark Knight Returns, written By Frank Miller. So we can assume it would be based off that comic, mainly. In that comic, Batman and Superman face off, and Superman nearly defeats Batman, Batman was forced to fake his death in that fight so that Superman could not kill him. But, for the sake of the new Justice League movie, that would not happen.

Now let's talk about individual bias in debates. In the 76 year long debate of Batman Vs. Superman, people have sided with Batman. But, the comic fans are divided due to source material. Usually, if you do not always have the full knowledge of each character, it is hard to make assumptions. So people go with what they find more cool. That is seemingly Batman, due to his recent popularity.

But there are other fights, like Percy Jackson vs. Harry Potter, and people always go with who they know more, and who they find cooler, rather than who they think has a better tactical advantage.

Personally, what I think will happen, is that Batman and Superman (And Wonder Woman) will do is team up to defeat Doomsday, who is confirmed by the writers, in the movie. But that is just a theory...a Game- oh, wait, I can't do that.
