Ya know I never really like Iron Man all that much (not Eric...I love him..he's soooo dreamy) because I just viewed him as someone who uses tech as a "super power".  Unlike Batman, who I wouldn't call a superhero, I don't think Ironman was that much of a person to look towards.  He might be crippled (the first Iron Man was however other versions have him just normal) but he was too rich.  He wasn't at all like a Bruce Wayne type character with a dark background and something to fight for.

Anyone else?

Superman = not my idea of a superhero, just some dude with natural abilities, yadda yadda...

normal people that overcome difficulties and invent/use tools that elevate them to something greater = superhero.

then again thats just me, I still love superman and Xmen and all that jazz... but batman is the best.

I agree.  Batman could beat Superman like a red-headed stepchild with sheer ingenuity.

While I have conflicts with both, as with any good hero/heroine, Superman could easily win.  Heat vision...boom! batman dead.  Batman would have to come prepared.  Like a suit made out of kryponite, a gun with kryponite bullets, get the first shot before superspeed.

One of the things I don't like about the new Supermans is that unlike the original he's just too powerful.  If you look back at the older comics Superman stood on the line between bad and good.  Oh sure he never stole or killed anyone.  But his temper and inner sadness of being alone was shown to be a more vulnerability then the big K.  However people started to look at him in the "boy scout" kinda way and he always kept a good and calm head.  This is the reason why I like superheros/heros.  You have vulnerabilities sure...but the mental and psychological ones showed that even with great power they were still human/humanlike with character flaws that you could relate to.  Wolverine had his temper that he had to get under control but could never quite get over the pain, Strom was clastraphobic, Spiderman had to deal with the seperate personality of Peter Parker and being torn between doing the best for the greater amount of people or helping his loved ones and himself.  Batman had the demons that plagued him from his parent's death and his travels.  The Shadow had a tempter and the ability to do evil.  The Hulk was the flaw for Bruce Banner.  These were the things that made the story lines not so linear.  Superman sees evil...superman confronts evil...superman quickly defeat evil...superman flys away.

Quote:
NIZMIT HILL, Israel (Reuters) - Israeli tanks and troops massed near Gaza on Tuesday for a threatened offensive against Palestinian militants as the Israeli government said it would target Hamas leaders if an abducted soldier was not freed.

In northern Gaza, Palestinians blocked roads with dirt and barbed wire. Militants wielding automatic rifles and anti-tank rockets rigged explosive devices along a road as tensions hit their highest since
Israel quit Gaza nearly a year ago.

Israel has 100 tanks and a crap ton of soldiers waiting at the border for the Go order.

This is going to get ugly fast.

I've been following this for a couple of days now.  It looks like Israel is also preparing for some sort of aerial assault on "Palestine." *cough*

Screw Hamas.  You've got to give it up for Israel, though - they've got some massive, massive balls.
