BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, WHOU WOULD BE THE LAST MAN STANDING?

JANA CASSANDRA C. RIBANO

Have you ever wondered if Batman and Superman had a huge fight, who do you think will win?
Who do you think would be the last man standing? Is it the man who has a bon on his chest; or a man with
his brief worn outside?

Kidding aside, for decades, Superman has stood as the most iconic comic book superhero. People around
the world recognize his signature “S” and it stands beside some of the most patriotic symbols America has.
Superman has made his mark in comics by being a living embodiment of morality, truth, and justice.

Superman is the prototypical superhero since he battles evil with the aid of superhuman skills while
donning an outrageous outfit and using a codename. Superman popularized the superhero genre and
developed its traditions, even though there are older characters who may be said to match this definition.

Most people know that Superman has some of the most extraordinary powers in all of comics, but
besides his heat vision, super strength, arctic breath, super-speed, x-ray vision, super-hearing, and flight,
the Man of Steel has some other insane capabilities as well. The most recent addition to his already huge
array of powers is the explosive Super Flare. This occurs when Superman literally self-combusts and lets
out the equal power and radiation of a nuclear bomb. Once released, he is completely human for 24 hours
because his cells need at least a day to recharge the amount of radiation that allows him to have his powers
in the first place.

One of the all-time wildest powers Superman has ever had is the ability to shoot a completely
sentient, miniature version of himself out of his hand that can be used to aid him against enemies. There
are many other odd superpowers that the Man of Steel has been shown to use such as, telepathy,
telekinesis, hypnotism, ventriloquism, and even amnesia-inducing kisses.

On the other hand, Batman is the superhero protector of Gotham City, a tortured, brooding vigilante
dressed as a bat who fights against evil and strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his
public identity, he is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy. Although he has no
superhuman abilities, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess,
technical ingenuity, and tactical thinking make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He is also a founding
member of the Justice League.

Let us come and think of it. What if this two allied had a major twist in their character? What if
Superman became the villain and Batman is the protagonist. It would really be very interesting knowing
that they both were once allies and one became a villain in an instant.
