Superman vs Hulk

[Albert Wesker]

Thusly in reality, stopping gravity briefly and causing the world's population to float off into the sky before resetting it (twice), causing everything and everyone airborne to fall to their deaths. That one, yeah.

O_O Now that is some scary stuff. I'm surprised no-ones made a 2012 styled disaster movie like that yet

Its just a battle of radiations really. Solar radiation vs gamma radiation. I think superman will win, with the sun he has unlimited power.

Actually the sun will die in time, it's not unlimited. Alright try this one, scorch the sky ala Matrix, where will Supes stand then?

To be fair, we saw this in The Dark Knight Returns. He just flies above the cloud cover until he gets to the sun and then just recharges, like a battery. But that said, the earlier post about radiations, yes, with the sun, Superman has unlimited power. Hulk doesn't need the sun, he's already got it.

You mean Superman returns right? It would be freaky to see Batman flying above the clouds

Perhaps he would hold Superman's hand while in flight and sing a song;
Can you read my mind?
Do you know what it is you do to me?
Don't know who you are,
Just a friend from another star

Here I am like a kid at a school
Holding hands with a god, I'm a fool
Will you look at me quivering
Like a little girl shivering?
You can see right through me

Can you read my mind?
Can you picture the things I'm thinking of?
Wondering why you are
All the wonderful things you are

You can fly, you belong to the sky
You and I could belong to each other

Huh? Superman was in The Dark Knight Return, the movie?

Wow, and Alex Logan accuses me of not reading the books.

Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns (not The Dark Knight Rises aka the new film coming out). In it, Superman has a monologue to Bruce about his powers and how he's now Regan's golden boy as he's destroying Soviet troops. He takes a few hits from nuclear missiles, is completely ravaged to the point of being just skeletal and flies up above the clouds to absorb the sunlight. It's a great classic. You guys would enjoy it:

I think it's funny that you have to explain that book since it's one of the very best Batman stories ever told, but whatever.

Someone in another thread said they started reading it and liked the story but hated the art so they stopped halfway through.

Its a great story done by Miller back when he was good.

No ____. But then there's a whole world of douches who think Batman rises and sets with Nolan.

Missed this book. Perhaps I'll get it soon.

Fixed it.

@ our under-read youth - There was a time people had fierce debates over who was the better writer - Frank Miller or Alan Moore. Frank was at the top of his game in the late 80's and early 90's when Moore was writing stuff like Swamp Thing, Watchmen, Marvelman (Miracleman in the US) and V for Vendetta. It was an amazing time to read comics.

Frank has what I consider three essential collections that must be read by anyone who loves comics - "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns", "Batman: Year One" and "Daredevil: Born Again". Miller also has a lot of Sin City fans and Hard Boiled and some other stories from shortly after this period, but these are my three.

The two Miller Batman stories have been borrowed from for almost every Batman film. Robocop also borrowed heavily from The Dark Knight Returns with the frequent breaks in the action to insert social commentary and spoofs of cultural icons.

TDKReturns is Batman in his old age after disappearing for ten years, driven to set a world gone mad back to sorts. It was originally four graphic novels (the birth of the format in fact) published with the individual titles The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight Triumphant, Hunt The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Falls.

Year One is hands down the best Jim Gordon story ever. It is a more straightforward narrative unfolding over the course of Gordon's first year in Gotham, the year Bruce Wayne returns home and begins his war on the Falcone crime family. DON'T think you've seen the story if all you've done is watch that crappy DVD cartoon.

Daredevil: Born Again was originally published as six regular issues of the Daredevil monthly series. Karen Page, a former girlfriend of Matt Murdock, has become an addict and hits rock bottom. She sells the last thing of value she owns for a fix: The secret identity of Daredevil. This information makes it's way back the The Kingpin who exacts a calculated and brutal retribution on Murdock. As Kingpin later says "A man with nothing to live for is a man without fear."

I wish Miller could still create comics at this level. Do not read Miller's more recent TDK2 or "All Star Batman and Robin". They're awful.

I hate to say this, because more often than not, I see it used to reinforce a douchily thin argument, but this should be a necessity for any true fan of Batman (unless you're a Nolan fanboy only). It still stands up today much like Kingdom Come (which has to be THE BEST comic book story ever told). Avoid the sequel to TDKR though, it flat-out sucked as the desperate cash grab it was.
