To [livejournal.com profile] i_smile,

I have thought about the topic a bit more, and this is what I have.

Batman
Before we discuss this, I just want to make sure we are on the same page. The version of Batman we are discussing about will be the comics universe Batman and not the Christian Bale version (not because Bale is bad as Batman so much as the fact that Bale’s Batman is more Bruce Wayne rather then being Batman. I’m sure this makes sense to you if no one else.)

Superman
I’m curious, why does he freak you out? At an instinctive level, Superman scares me, but I really can’t verbalise it in a manner that would make sense. (I have a sneaky suspicion that it is to do with him being supposedly perfect, a symbol of all that is right and true, yet lacking anything that resembles humanity. Clark Kent is different; Kal El makes the distinction between Superman and Clark Kent, and that is possibly more discomforting than anything else.)

My 2 cents: I think a big part of Batman is all about his trust issues. Betrayal by a hero that he trust would be one of the few things he'd fear more than the thought of one his family dying and betraying him (though now I want to know how he's dealing with the whole Cassandra thing.)

"These people are irredeemable and must be stopped however they can be"?

I think I read a fic about it, or at least where Superman sets himself up as God and attempt to redeem the world via his image. It can happen.
