Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
I'm gonna be sacrilegious but I think Superman TAS is better than BTAS, not just because of me being a Supes fan, it just has better animation and better stories imo.
I agree with all of this, but I also think every single time Superman or Batman (or whatever character) stories are re-told, you can allow and expect a different interpretation.
I really don't think so, nor I said it with Nolan, I think Nolan's Batman is still very Batman-y.

That's just the case with every single character DC or Marvel if you read long enough, that's why people started to follow writers instead of characters.
This is correct.
Even though Frank Miller's Daredevil is my favorite comic book run, all I could think was, without Frank, this guy is just a either watered down Batman (when he was written darker and getting constantly beaten down) or a watered down Superman (when he was going around fighting villains like Stilt Man or the Spot). When the writer changed for Captain America, and gave him a different voice, I'm like this is a watered down version of Superman and Batman. And when Spider-man got a new writer, I though the same of him. Regardless, of how bad Superman or Batman have been written, there's a reason why most fans cry foul at certain characteristics, because they have specific philosophies that make their characters unique. It's why fans got angry when Batman said "I'm not going kill you, but I don't have to save you" in Batman Begins. Batman will do whatever it takes to save any life, and if he can't, it's because he simply couldn't with all his might. That's the problem with Superman snapping Zod's neck in Man of Steel. If fans could think of a better way than Superman to avoid that situation that's a problem. The writer has to work extremely hard to make him smart as or smarter than us. Superman and Batman seek to accomplish the same goal with selflessness and compassion, but Superman prioritizes civilians— inspiring hope in them—in hopes of creating a better world whereas Batman prioritizes criminals—inspiring fear in them— in hopes of creating a better world. Once these men fully matured before donning their costumes, and once they became Superman and Batman, those costumes meant something. They don't need to change, the world changes around them, and what's interesting is that they refuse to budge from their morality and beliefs—no matter how terrible things get. They might question them and falter on the occasion, but they know what their costumes mean as icons. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are not Batman and Superman in my opinion. They are capable of flaws, but Batman and Superman better than them, and they both know it, and it makes them super compelling. Batman and Superman have to be the best at what we do. Batman has to master ever physical goal that human ever dreamed of (even though it's inhumanely possible) because it gives us something to strive fore. Superman has powers that we dream of having—thinking that life would be so much better with them—but Superman uses all those gifts righteously (that too is inhumane because we can't help but sin.) And Goku is better than both of them because...he just makes me smile

Did I ever say that with BTAS?The point is I now get where your coming from with "not the real Batman"!
I really don't think so, nor I said it with Nolan, I think Nolan's Batman is still very Batman-y.
