How come over time Batman became more fantastical than Superman?Other than Superman himself, modern Batman has a more fantastical setting while modern Superman mainly focus on sappy Daily Planet sappy slice of life drama stuff
>>150720309There are comics from early in Batman's run where he and Robin would get hypnotized by a psychologist and their minds would go back in time. Batman was always fantastical. """""Grounded""""" Batman was a modern concept, it's stupid as fuck, and I hope it dies.
>>150720309Give me examples for Batman that aren't him falling from space (impossible mode(
>>150720309Post crisis, Superman's fantastical elements were nuked
>>150720309bump
>>150721476Fantastical Batman is stupid as fuck. That kind of shit makes him like any other cape.
>>150723015Actually, noBatman isnt intresting cause hes powerless but fights superpowered beingsRemove the sci fi and fantasy elements of Batman and you just have Daredevil
>>150722543John Byrbne was quite fantasticalI blame Grant Morrison, hes the one who popularized the "life lesson" Superman where you are supposed to cry after reading every issueI miss the sci fi heavy escapist Superman Its called ACTION Comics, not Drama Comics
>>150723322*is intresting, damn lack of sleepHes intresting when he fights superpowered beings and use his wits
>>150720309I don't really see it superman is inherently more outlandish by being an alien
>>150723349Preach, man. Byrne's run is so wacky and Siegel and Shuster touched on politics without that "life lesson" style you mentioned
