    Let's see... Batman: Rich, famous, handsome, genius, master ninja skills, best technology in the world, Justice League member, capable of defeating some of the most powerful beings in the world....

    Or Spiderman: Poor, loser, lives with his older-than-the-universe aunt, sold his marriage to the devil, written by Dan Slott...

    So hard. Who will I pick?

    Probably Spider-man, in terms of physical abilities. But Batman in terms of lifestyle.

    Spider-Man.

    Smart, great friends, not a totally terrible and depressing life...yeah, oh and super-powers.

    Yeah, I'm gonna say I'd like to be The Amazing Spider-Man. (Or Spectacular. Or hell, even Ultimate or Superior.)

    I'd take Batman's money and Spiderman's powers. If I had to choose one it would be the money. ;)

    Batman has been sad ever since he was like eight. Spiderman fights a man dressed as a rhino dressed as a spider. Spiderman

    Although I love Batman and what he stands for, man is he fucked up. I would much rather be Spiderman. More powers and not messed up in the head.

    P.S. I much prefer Batman to Spiderman as a superhero

    Spider-man. Has more fun, has powers, is still a genius, and now he has his own company just similar to Bruce, even though he doesn't know anything about I or how to manage it.

    But Batman is still the best

    I would rather be Batman with all the money, specialized training, martial skills, super tech, peak human perfection, and super genius level intellect. Then I'd use my insane resources to acquire a radioactive spider. Now, if a radio active spider turned Peter and Miles into 20 to 30 ton powerhouses, I'm presuming that the spider bite would turn someone like Bruce into even more of a badass (this is all baseless speculation) due to him not being a weakling to begin with. Maybe I become a 40 to 50 ton powerhouse with 50 times the speed and reflexes of the average man. Finally, I'd wear the Beyond suit which amps the strength and durability stats of the wearer by ten, and grants flight as well. If the amps are multiplicative, then using my lowest estimate of 40 tons, the suit would place me in the 400 short ton range.....unstoppable.

    My answer is best of both worlds, but if that's cheating, and I can only choose one, I'd rather be Batman. He's capable enough to not require super powers to be a hero, and he's a billionaire. That sounds good to me.

    Mh. Bruce is rich, but maintaining his physical abilities takes soooo much effort. Of course If I were Bruce I would stop crimefighting and retire, what did I raise all these kids for over the years. So Bruce unless that means I keep his fanatism, then I take Spidey.

    Batman,but with my mindset.

    My normal brain (no "dead parents" complex) and his money-powers.....i could just give up on life and die in piece.
