It's a battle that has been raging since the early '40s...who is DC's greatest superhero? Though Wonder Woman has been in the mix (she is part of the publisher's "Trinity" after all!), most fans boil it down to Superman vs. Batman. The pair of costumed heroes have held a love/hate relationship for decades; deep down they both know that they are each other's best friends, but the differences in their techniques and world views always leads to tension. This tension is perfect for DC writers who want to give fans a spectacle- Superman and Batman have come to blows countless times through the years. Heck, the 2nd movie in the DCEU was Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice!
But, no matter how many times they fight, they always seem to end in a draw. Sure, they will beat the snot out of each other and get their opponent in a position of vulnerability, but in the end they always realize that they shouldn't be fighting and put their differences aside for the greater good. Even so, everybody has their favorite. Bat-fans claim that the Dark Knight could always kick Superman's butt, while fans of the Man of Steel joke about how much Superman has to hold back just to keep from killing Batman with a single punch! Which side are you on? Take this Batman vs. Superman quiz and we'll reveal which one you are!
