because of the way culture has changed, i think batman is more appealing today than superman. superman's powers are too riduculous, he no longer conforms to modern ideas of "beauty," and he is, quite frankly, an alien. in today's world, we like jonny depp bad boys instead of boy scouts.
batman, on the other hand, is the original rebel. he has also gone through many character changes that reflect the culture, which makes him way more flexible for future changes. he has a mean streak, and he's not afraid to break the rules. also, in today's world of csi and advanced forensics, you could almost say that batman was "born" into the field.

I have to go with batman, like many of you all, because he has to work to get the job done using both his gadgets and his brain to stop the bad guys. Superman on the other hand is way to cliche to do much good because he is just to powerful and can beat his enemies without using that much power and doesn't have to work for it. I enjoy batman's origin storyline more than that of Superman more of a heart graber - death of ones parents and so on. Even though I am a fan of both sets of movies these two heroes out there with Superman 1 and 2 for superman, Returns was ok but could of been a whole lot better, and Batman Begins for Batman, the earlier movies focused to much on having the top celebrities then producing a great movie.
Batman is the all top hero out of this comparison but compare him to Green Lantern then I might have to change my mind or opinion a bit.

I will have to go with Batman, like many of you. Batman is more popular because of his "anti-hero" hero attitude. In todays society, the bad boy attitude is popular... just like other heros such as Blade, Ghost Rider and Hellboy; just to name a few. Beside, did you ever read the comic "The Death of Superman"? In this comic, Batman kills Superman.
