    Why isn't he an Avenger? Superman is the coolest hero ever! He can do like anything, he's awesome! He has all the powers and has the best backstory ever! So why isn't he an Avenger? Everyone else EVER WAS AN AVENGER! So, why isn't he? I really need some help here, why not?

    I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this is a legitimate question:

    Because the Avengers is a Marvel Comics property, while Superman is a DC Comics property. They are in two entirely separate universes, so Supes can't join the Avengers. It's the same reason why Spider-Man isn't in the Justice League.

    Batman won't let him join until they both get the call to Assemble.

    Avengers is Marvel. Superman is DC. Do the math.

    I'd rather think the OP is trolling than epically ignorant of such simple matters. So yeah, haha! Good one OP. You almost got me!

    @consolemaster001: If he can't join the the justice league because he couldn't save his uncle then Batman should be kicked out because he couldn't save his parents.

    Batman was normal 8 year old child.

    Peter was a teenager with super powers. There's a difference.

    @80sbaby: Peter wasn't there when burglar was about to kill him silly and thus Batman has many gadgets like to go back in friggin time to prevent this from ever happening and that's not the only reason he should be kicked because he was not able to save his own son.
