Batman vs. Spiderman vs. Superman

Currently there are so many superheroes are coming out to the screen, to save the world (or their cities only). However, I found some interesting difference among these ‘men’. Take Batman, Spiderman and Superman for instance……

Financial. Batman is a rich and no need to work by himself (somebody is running his family business, so that he can go out almost every night); Superman is a reporter, got a job but not very rich; Spiderman is the worst, he was a student and doesn’t even has a permanent job, and always got fired because busy saving people.

Superpower. Superman is from other planet, he got super power, so he’s the best among them; Spiderman got ‘spider-power’ after he got bitten by a spider; Batman is the worst, he just got some ninja skills and learned everything by himself, all his ‘power’ actually needs to depends on technology.

“Working hour”. Superman and Spiderman can save people anytime, as long as there’s somebody calling for help; but Batman only comes out after dark. That might because Batman is not the person that saving any individual from being bullied or from danger, his main job is just to punish and catch the bad guys in town.

Relationship. Spiderman got MJ as his girlfriend, although they got bad times and she has left him once, but finally she still comes back to him; Superman got Lois Lane and she’s always by her side; Batman…… eh…… I can’t remember the previous episodes; I just remember the recent 2: Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the only girl that he loves – Rachel, didn’t even want to be with him at the end, although she loves him in heart, and the worst thing is, he has to face her death.

Background. All three of them are orphans, but have different stories; Superman’s parents died when the planet was exploded, but their ‘spirits’ were always following him and be with him; Spiderman stayed with his uncle and aunt only; Batman had to see his parents died in front of him and it had become his nightmare until he grew up.

Human Identity. Bruce Wayne (Batman) is a billionaire, who inherited his parents great wealth, so he can use it for developing his weapons and armors; Clark Kent (Superman) is a journalist in a press, and to others, he’s a good friend of Superman; Peter Parker (Spiderman)is a outstanding student in college, but after he’s graduated, he couldn’t even find himself a good job.

Costume. Superman's and Spiderman's suits are wearing inside, so when there's emergency, they can just get somewhere to change (I wonder why nobody noticed them), for example, phone booth as what Superman usually does. But Batman got too many 'equipments' and weapons on his suit, so he gotta change first before coming out, 'emergency' is not applicable to him.

So actually which one you prefer?
