Batman vs Captain America : Who deserves more respect??

1. Captain America both in terms of in comics and out of comics. Cap doesn't get nearly as much respect out of comics as he deserves. Good thing Winter Soldier helped him gain some of that respect.

2. I'd say they are both fairly brave in their own way. Batman being just a man (even though it feels he's constantly written otherwise) and Steve constantly going after foes that he knows could destroy him (Thanos) add in he started off as a sickly kid and took an experimental procedure that could have killed him all so he could help his country and fellow men.

3. Captain America. I like Batman well enough but I always enjoyed his supporting cast and rogue of villains more than the Bat himself.

@night4345: Fine! Err... (Flips a coin)... Batman!

(I actually do like Batman more, because of the richness of his world. Also, he can be any sort of crime fighter you want him to be)

@darkhunter89: Bruce still cared about him like he was. The death devasted him just as much as seeing Damian die. And Batman didn't kill the heretic either..so I doubt Alfred's death would cause him to go over the edge.

..........

he wanted to kill the heretic. but talia did it

I think Cap takes all three,but both definitely deserve respect and this is all up to opinion.

But I smell ignorance and bias in this thread.

Sounds like a lot of people either don't read enough about Captain America or Batman.

Depends on how you mean "respect"..if they were real people, I think Cap would deserve much more. His motivations are out of honor and duty. Batman's is mostly out of revenge. In fact, while he has good traits (bravery, determination, etc..all of which Cap doesn't lack in either.) I don't have much respect for Batman himself...he's kind of a jerk. But that's part of what makes him an intriguing character.

Now, if we're talking just what they've done for the comic-industry. Batman is at the top of the respect list IMHO.

Cap in a clean sweep.

@thebatman0: It has been proven Cap is no less Cap without the SSS. he has fought no less courageously without it. The SSS didn't make him who he is, it was simply a tool to let him act on the heroism he already had.

@blackwind: yes I completely agree with you. But we don't exactly know that do we? So instead of turning this into an augment where junk words go flying here and there... If just like to say you are right and I respect that :D

Yes we do because he's lost it several times and he still continued.

I think both could be considered equal in the first 2 categories. I will say that I don't think it's really fair to put Bruce over Cap in bravery because Steve got his abilities and physique from the serum. Steve, despite his frailty and sickly disposition, still wanted to go out and fight for his country and what he believed in. He got rejected, labeled a 4-F, and when he had an opportunity to fight, he jumped at it. Bruce has the intelligence to learn as fast as he does and be so intelligent in so many different areas from being a textbook in martial arts, to being the world's greatest detective, to being able to build everything he does. And he has the money to fund his expenditures and travel to continue learning. And let's not forget he has the drive but also the genetic disposition to be as physically dominant as he is. Steve didn't have that luxury. He was a scrappy baby born to Irish immigrants living in Brooklyn and grew into a 90 pound weakling with enough ailments that he looked like he could die from going down the stairs too fast. His likelihood of surviving in a war torn scenario against some of the most sadistic soldiers with superiority complexes would have been a literal death sentence in his condition. The fact that he never let what he went from to what he turned into get to his head also adds to his measure of character.

Cap would be nothing without the SSS Serum.

Batman all 3

@darkhunter89: Batman would be nothing without his money. Intelligence isn't enough; you need education. And Wayne blew millions on education in various fields before he could even think about crime fighting.

Also: Nothing is a strong word. Rogers would have been a great guy without the SSS. Just look at what he did with it.

Batman would probably do fine without the startup cash. He definitely has the brain for it

neither are real, but when it comes to respect, only one of these men served his nation in war. he hadn't been brought back, it could have even been said he gave his life this nation. Cap all the way

also while bats has his company, and the bat family, steve lead shield for good long time and the avengers for even longer

Batman all 3.

Bats

Bats

Bats coz i have been seeing his animated stuff him since i was a kid so he is one my fav. superheoes.i like his rogue's gallery very much.Cap never interested me anyway.

Um..how about they both deserve the same amount of respect? They are both different characters with unique backgrounds, but both fight to make the world a safer place.

Bats would be nothing without his money or legacy.

We repeating ourselves now? This was discussed one page ago.

lol true :)

I respect Batman more solely for the fact he chooses to save people not because he feels he owes the world anything. No-one nudged him in that direction or made him do it. He's good because he wants to be.

@adamanouer: So you're saying Batman feels no great responsibility to use his great power to help people? That he deserves more respect because he just wants to live out his righteous revenge fantasies?

Nobody forced frail Steve Rogers to volunteer for an experimental procedure so that he could fight in the war, nor did anybody nudge him into leading the Avengers against countless threats, or sacrificing everything to protect America time and time again. He did these things not out of anger, but a desire to do good that runs far deeper than in Bruce and his narrow crusade. It is he who nudges.

1. LOL . There are some weaker characters than cap and batman in their teams :P

2. Didn't batman kick the spectre?? :P

3. Hmm

1) Why would batman become a villain?? O.o

2) LOL

3) Why?

While those questions are subjective, especially one and two...ultimately I have to side with Captain America. I've been reading about good ol' Cap for awhile now, and while I've recently gotten into Batman Comics (Zero year, Eternal and my favorite: Knightfall) I do have a brother and friend who are complete Batman junkies, we keep each other updated.

I respect Captain America more, I LIKE him more, I can't get enough of the guy. He's respected by nearly EVERYONE in the super-hero community of Marvel, even some villains, have his respect. He repeatedly tried to sign up for WWII even though he was frail and sickly. His desire to fight for what was right and protect people was strong enough that he took a risky program to become the man he is today, and he didn't lose sight of himself at all...his purpose for taking the SSS or even joining the army was still there, strong as ever. Even 70 years later, after being frozen in ice, that desire for justice is STILL there. You gotta love Cap, he's incredible!

Iove cap but everything Bruce is he worked for where as cap got a lucky break.

Both are equally brave and I've kind of grew a liking for Steve after civil war

The one that worked hard his entire life to become what he is

cap took some special drugs, then starts a war on drugs to make sure no one else gets any

They're equally brave ands deserving of respect/. I happen to like Steve more.

Cap easy. lock da thread.

@night4345: this. People are also forgetting that the whole reason he was chosen was because he was willing to fight despite being a frail and sickly dude.

WHAT? Just what, thebatman0? Like, seriously? Have you even picked up a Captain America book? Like, what? Seriously, what?

"Yes cap is loyal to his country but would he do all this if he didn't get his superpowers?"

WHAT?

Edit:

Also, I'd just like to say, whenever there's something Captain America involved, you know you'll get some kind of political statement or moral message. Not to say that this isn't the case for Batman, but Cap's stories aren't something easily dismissed.

Captain America deserves more respect from me. Only because I'm biased. Batman is already respected and feared so it's better Steve gets the respect because he lacks fear.

I couldn't agree more.

Cap never peed his pants.

trololol

Batman, Captain America used steroids, which is ironically the American why to get swole.

This

He didn't take the drugs to become strong; he took the drugs to protect his country, a drug that he was told might kill him, but he took it anyway.

I'll just take a quote from "Why Captain America is the greatest superhero of all time," a quote by crazy8:

Though it isn't necessary the same topic, a great hero isn't necessary deemed respectable by everyone, I thought I'll just put out the lies that "Cap is only good because of his drugs and steroids," because come on, who are you shitting here? He's Captain America, the greatest hero alive.

But I guess it shouldn't matter what lies people say about him, because as Cap had once said,

Batman.

i'd change my mind.

Batman in all three.

Cap is boring and so are his villians

why thank you TysonCage. i'd forgot i posted that. Batman has better story line, but i still favor Cap. Batman has had some stupid writers and enemies too. just not as much on average. if i had to pick some one to have my back, it would be Cap every time.

Both deserve an equal amount of respect, stop being idiots.

Batman continually flouts state and federal laws and thinks he is more important than literally everyone. Cap serves his country no matter what.

Not really a hard choice.

@thebatman0: Steve was a scrawny asthmatic who grew up in a rough neighbourhood being bullied and yet all he wanted to do was fight for his country and help protect his fellow soldiers. Yes he got his powers but his main aspect has always been his morals and courage. Batman is a self pitying rich kid who thinks the world owes him because he is the only kid to see his parents killed. And then goes on to break state and federal laws on a continual basis because his law is above that of the country he lives in, yes he dedicates himself but really if he threw himself into worthier project using his resources and money, Gotham would be a paradise not a hell hole populated by scum and psycho's that continue to plague it because he won't do what is needed.

Well, when you put it that way...yeah.
