@PokemanZ0N6@marxsan_o_o I'm guessing you're only referencing Parts 1-3? Because pretending like Parts 4 and 7 are not peak battle manga is genuinely insane.
@FakeNightskin@D4hz4hn@NirvanaM1nd The funniest thing about the Byrne era status quo is that Clark was never Superboy + he basically did nothing for the first 5 years of his career as Superman.
I guess he was just stopping common crooks and natural disasters while Batman was already on his 2nd Robin.
@singed_fur@JasonSpeigner1 Bruce is only older in the DCAU, Snyderverse and New 52.
Clark is usually the big brother of the two in pre-Crisis, post-Crisis and current continuity.
@wavebatt There are a bunch of Bronze Age stories you can add between Batgirl: Year One & Nightwing: Year One.
• Tales of the Demon
• The Joker's Five-Way Revenge
• Strange Apparitions
The 70s are where modern Batman begins, Crisis didn't really affect Batman like other characters.
@jotaroskak It's also mostly the art style. Jotaro is canonically tall, but he doesn't weigh that much.
People in the story don't tend to describe him as a hulking behemoth with tree trunk sized legs like they described Jonathan in Part 1, they just comment on his height.
@Dirk_X404@NotOKyann I don't think they made it past the first block because the Gatekeepers are still there when Makoto explores it for the first time.
@FakeNightskin You gotta remember that the average non-comic reader thinks that Superman has no fighting skill and has average intelligence.
He's all dumb muscle, while Batgod has an IQ of 200 minimum and has completely mastered every single martial art.
Superman representation is in Hell.
@Jony_abstract You think Batman became popular and iconic in 1997 or some shit lmao
He was already a pop culture iconic before Crisis on Infinite Earths. The post-Crisis universe didn't popularise any member of the Trinity.
