Batman or Green Lantern?
When I was a kid we used to "down to the swamp" to hang out. Some days we would get into some stupid arguments like... in a fight who wins, Spiderman or The Hulk?

I just read a post here that devolved into Pit Bull or Chimp, who wins?

And "some people" ask "do you think Obama reads DU?"

Back to the real world.

4. You think that's bad?
I've seen arguments on other sites that started as a result of someone asking:

Paper or plastic?


dishcloth or sponge?


Coke or Pepsi?


Yes or no?


If there are two sides to anything...or even if there's only one side...people will argue about it.

5. It really depends on what ring the Green Lantern is using...
BATMAN VS GREEN LANTERN

If the Green Lantern is using an older comic book version of the ring, the ring won't work against wood. Edge Batman!

In more modern times the Green Lantern ring would work against anything except the color yellow. This was one of the dumbest weaknesses in the history of Super Hero comics! The Green Lantern would fly around the galaxy with one of the greatest weapons in the Universe (the ring) only to be stopped by something as simple as a club, simply because it was painted yellow. Huge edge to Batman!


Finally a ring was produced that did not have the yellow impurity in it. A lantern who holds this ring is one of the most powerful super heroes in the Galaxy. In some stories a Green Lantern without the weakness to the color yellow is on par with Superman and ranks among the very elite when it comes to Super Heroes.-Edge Green Lantern. Batman doesn't have a chance in this scenario. You really couldn't even match them up.








SPEED.. SUPERMAN VS FLASH

In earlier comics Superman was just as fast if not faster than the Flash.

However DC comics titrated down the strength of Superman because it was becoming to difficult to fit him into stories.

In the comic book universe it is generally regarded that Flash is faster and would defeat Superman in a race. (although Superman is still very fast)

Flash is the only known life form in the universe that can travel at the speed of light or faster. Flash is capable of reaching what is called the speed force. (yes that's really, really fast)

Flash is so fast that he often has difficulty living in normal day to day life. This is because the entire World works in slow motion to him. Without an incredible element of surprise, it's nearly impossible to hit him with anything. (bullets, Laser, electronic pulses, etc.)

The physics involved to travel at such speeds make Flash one of the most powerful Super Heroes ever. I would have to check but I believe Wizards Magazine has Flash among their top 10 most powerful Super Heroes of all time. The NFL saying holds true... speed kills!

6. Sorry in my excitement to talk about Super Heroes I forgot one match-up!
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 12:01 PM by aaaaaa5a
SPIDERMAN VS THE HULK


It's no contest in this match up of two popular Marvel comics stars. The Hulk wins with little difficulty. In modern versions of comic book stories, the physical strength of the Hulk is nearly on par with that of Superman. Spiderman makes great movies. But the character is generally regarded as a lower level Super hero. It's difficult to even come up with a reasonable scenario where Spiderman could even hurt the Hulk. Although he kills him when it comes to making good movies! LOL

7. don't forget the Green Hornet radio show way back before TV


when I was a kid. also Only The Shadow Knows and Inner Sanctum. on Sat. morning was Let's Pretend.

one thing about listening to stories on the radio, the listener had to imagine how it looked. something today's kids don't do much.
