Hi there and welcome to I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You, the blog that puts the kryptonite in your bat-guano.
I'm Dave-El and today's post is about the concept of Superman vs. Batman. Next year will see the release of Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice which is the big epic movie that DC and Warner Bros. hopes will challenge the successes of Marvel Studios and their corporate parent, Disney.
I think the word you're looking for is "desperation".
When it comes to comics, I've been a long time DC guy but that has fallen by the wayside more and more. My top 3 pulls at Acme Comics include Saga, Velvet and The Fade Out, all from Image. The only mainstream DC title I still have on my pull list is Batman by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo and that's up in the air depending on what happens in June with the new Iron Man/The Tick mash up that's coming to Batman that month.
I do not have any Marvels on my pull lists. I do get the occasional trades but only if they're on sale with a deep discount. Marvel's pricing on both individual comics and trade collections is ridiculously high.
That being said, however, I am in hook, line and sinker for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and right now, I am way more psyched for Avengers: Age of Ultron than I am for anything from the DC Universe in print or in movies.
I have to admit DC's forays into TV have been pretty successful. I haven't really gotten into Arrow but Flash is off to a great start. And I hope Constantine gets another chance for a 2nd season. And I'm looking forward to the Supergirl series on CBS this fall.
But bringing this back around to the Man of Steel in conflict with the Caped Crusader, I posted a few Tweets on the subject of exactly how a Superman/Batman throw down would go down. After all, we're talking about a match up between the most super powerful being on the planet against a guy dressed up like a bat. So perhaps a battle between the two would take on different forms that simply going mano a mano.
#BatmanvSuperman is Macarena vs. Electric Slide! Yep, it's a Clark vs. Bruce DANCE OFF! Get down! Get funky! And the winner is....? I'll give you a hint: The Bat Tutsi!
In the fallout of #BatmanvSuperman, who gets custody of Alfred? Hey, after the courts see how Bruce has had Alfred for years dusting a mansion and cleaning bat poop from a cave, I think Alfred will find a new home in Metropolis.

So as you can see, in these various contests, a battle between Superman and Batman comes to a drawl. Maybe if I factor in Wonder Woman and Aquaman?
For now, I think I've done enough damage around here. So I'm off. And I'm leaving.
See you back here tomorrow. Until then, be good to one another.
