Spiderman by default, because Bruce Wayne is kind of a dick and represents everything that's wrong with America. Think about it:

  • Got to where he is, not through any work of his own, but because he's from a rich family
  • Spends tons of money on fancy military gizmos to fight enemies while neglecting to give any money to fix social problems (like rebuilding the public transit system he utterly destroyed in Batman Begins, for example, which was donated to the city by his dad)
  • Embezzles corporate money without a second thought
  • Considers it justified to institute a massive domestic surveillance system
  • Believes that he is unilaterally allowed to serve as judge, jury, and executioner when by his perception the ends justify the means, without allowing any external oversight.
  • Jumps to the conclusion that government is useless at solving social problems based on a small handful of examples
  • Never comes to terms with a traumatic event he faced (i.e., the death of his parents) instead allowing it to cloud his judgement throughout his life

Spiderman has always been too campy for me.  Although I find all the Marvel heroes to be very campy and lame, but that doesn't seem to be the consensus for some reason.

I'd rather watch The Flash or (serious) Green Lantern in a movie before another Spiderman reboot.  I hope they make one.

+1 to pretty much everything you said, with an exception (for the most part) for X-Men, regarding Marvel. I did enjoy the 2011 Green Lantern movie, though I know that bucks with the general consensus opinion. It was entertaining without taking itself too seriously, and I love being able to recognize locations where a movie was filmed.

Batman, no contest. Most of you who frequent this board have probably gathered that I'm a bit obsessed with that character. The Spider-Man reboot looks like it could be good though. I didn't like any of the Raimi movies other than the second one.

I also thought the Green Lantern movie was way underrated although it did have some serious issues.

Batman. The notion of darkness really attracts me, and Spiderman's a f[inks]ing pansy. Wow, he can shoot webs. Batman doesn't even have a power and he still beats the [inks] out of people.

As fantastic as the Evil Dead trilogy is, Nolan is a better director than Raimi, if that's what the question is asking. I agree with Eraserhead that the second Spiderman film is the only good one, although the reboot has Emma Stone so it can't be that bad.

Also the Batman cartoon from the 90s and most recent incarnation of Justice League are awesome.

I almost voted Spiderman by mistake because you put the poll around the opposite way to the question.

Batman of course, and Baconking's reasoning against him for some reason only made me love him more.

Woah, you just ripped off After Hours from Cracked.com so hard my head is spinning.

Batman, the movies are much better (let's pretend Batman & Robin doesn't exist) and Batman: The Animated Series was possibly the best superhero cartoon of the 90s.

I thought about posting the link, but figured nobody would bother watching it anyway.

(though, to be fair, my friends and I had a similar discussion after we first saw The Dark Knight, so I didn't steal the entire argument Grin)

Batman, of course.

Batman: The Animated Series was possibly the best superhero cartoon of the 90s.

I'd argue of all time.  That series doesn't receive nearly enough credit for its greatness.

Oh come on, I'm not even a comic dude and I'd pick Batman 100 out of 100 times.

I voted Batman, read Bacon King's posts, and then felt dirty about the poll's options in hindsight!
