Would You Rather? 04.09.2025​

How are you doing, dear GrayViners? I hope you're healthy and doing well!

We’re right smack in the middle of the week, and I (Emerald) often feel a little dreary around this time. So why don’t we liven things up a bit? Here’s a classic question that could hopefully lift your spirits: If you were to fight crime, would you rather team up with Batman or Superman? Take your pick and share your reasons in the comments!

P.S. Someone on The GrayVine team is a huge Batman fan—can you guess who?

Superman Love the way he flies right to the issue

Superman, he seems more wholesome.

Super man because I Iike to fly!

Easy. Superman. Batman is a tough street fighter, but he doesn’t have super powers.

Although I would love to fly and have the strength of Superman…
I would rather be Batman. Batman uses his brain to create things he needs to save Gotham from the bad guys. He remains plenty strong enough.

I would love to team with Batman because he's such a brilliant detective and I could learn a ton from him. Things tend to be too easy for Superman due to his super- duper powers.

Nice one, @Arkie98! Straight to the point, no traffic, no delays—just whoosh and he's there.

I can see that, @Connie. Seems like he has that all-American charm and farm-boy values.

Fair point, @ghandi44! I would like to fly too!

Easy. Superman. Batman is a tough street fighter, but he doesn’t have super powers.

Sometimes you just need someone who can stop a train, right, @Larry B?

That's a thoughtful answer, @Gayle B. ! It takes some serious smarts and strength to save the day without any superpowers.

Great point, @57raider! Brains over brawn can be a superpower too.
