Batman vs. Superman

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I've been wanting to put this up for a little bit. What are their positions? Is either a member of a party? What are their areas of strength? How do their alter-egos affect the election? All questions I hope can be answered by repsonses of some sort.

Not quite sure how this would play out, but basically:
Batman wins the North-East and the old Rockefeller Republican states due to his roots. In New York, his roots as an established businessman, Upstate Conservative voters, and the Rudy Giuliani voters put Batman over the top. He wins the Libertarian West due to his anti-establishment-ness, wins Utah, Alabama, and Mississippi due to the fact that Superman has God powers, which can't be good for the religious folk. He wins Texas with his business-friendly economic plans.
Superman wins the rural Mid-West, the Southern parts of the Rust Belt who aren't going to vote for that yankee billionaire, the military states due to his faithful service to the US, and the Pacific West due to an overall more tolerante yet at the same time "All-American" message.

It's tricky as Libertarians could label either of the candidates as "fascists". Urban areas might vote Batman due to the fact that he's cleaning up the street, but he's also a source of fear. That's why DC is a tossup.

Blue: Batman (R-NY)-276 electoral votes
Red: Superman (D-KS)-159 electoral votes
NOTA: 3 electoral votes

Superman(Clark Kent)  (R-KS)
 Batman(Bruce Wayne) (D-NY)


This election would be rather close as it being a fight between urban liberals and small town conservatives with minorities being split.

Clark wins narrowly due to split minority vote.

Have you read the rest of this thread?

I think there's some questions as to how much the public knows about each of the heros in this scenario. Do people know their secret identities? If not, then factors such as Bruce Wayne being a billionaire wouldn't matter.

Uh yes it would.
Bruce Wayne could easily campaign for Batman and people would be none the wiser.

Just saying.

I can imagine Bruce Wayne endorsing Superman just to throw people off, also playing dumb. "What, oh there's an election? Who're the candidates? ... Oh, uh, well I guess I like Superman better." or something to fit his playboy, non-caring image. On the other hand, both are from Gotham, so it'd probably make sense to have Wayne endorse his alter-ego.
