Who is more corruptible? Batman or Superman

Batman.

Batman is also mentally unstable.

Superman

Superman that is.

True but Supes usually knows when the government or the authority figures are justified and not corrupt.

True but I've personally never seen Supes go that route except for Flashpoint.

Nice, good article and good take, thanks

Even.

@MrNiklander

Haha, first article, I'll try harder next time.

@sintzu

I agree and I'm all about pre-new 52, but I plan on reading more New 52. I also have to read more Superman comics, I've read more Batman.

I think one of the cool things about Batman vs Superman is that even though Batman doesn't have the powers or the physical strength of Superman, he still has an edge, due to the fact that he will do what is necessary. Obviously, I also like the take on the characters in Miller's The Dark Knight Returns

@Klone

I would definitely be open to reading an elseworld story about Batman snapping....

As far as corruption, I'm also talking about which character could be controlled by the government. I think to a certain extent since Superman isn't human, he takes the opinion of the Government into account more, and the Government can have more impact on his actions.

For me, it's hard to picture Batman being controlled by the Government

@DrKin

That question depends on the context although unless Superman is being butchered (eg. TDKR) or being selfless as in joining the government will save thousands of people and a necessary action for the betterment of others, he would not be their lapdog. Somewhat similar situation with Batman although I can easily imagine him working with say Waller based on his unhealthy paranoia or if he was ousted from the League and became more bitter.

I think a lot of people would say Superman because of all the stories in which he goes bad. But I think that the main reason for him going bad in those stories is simply because it makes such a great story.
Superman really is one of the most (if not the most) human of all superheroes, despite the fact that he's Kryptonian. He was raised on a farm by a country couple with very strong morales. He lives among all of us regular people as Clark Kent, and really, he's on of us. He works at the Daily Planet doing news stories and getting to know all kinds of people and what their lives are like. Clark/Superman truly loves humanity, and he understands it.
Batman is a bit separated from humanity. Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne. He's not really who he pretends to be as Bruce, he just uses the name as a cover. Batman almost doesn't have a life. He doesn't have much more to keep him sane other than his dedication to protecting others. But Superman on the other hand is well grounded.

@DrKinsolving

Hmm... I do find hat quote fascinating. But honestly, I disagree with it. I believe that Clark is Superman's true identity...well half of it. Unlike a lot of heroes who have a true identity and a fake one, I think Superman has two true identities. Clark is who he's been ever since he was a child. Sure he's changed the way he acts a bit since he came to the big city, but he's still the same old Clark. And though he may act silly and even cowardly, he really isn't. He works for the Daily planet and does some of the most controversial work published by the paper. If he was cowardly he wouldn't have a job there. And even though he acts cowardly as Clark, sometimes he really shows his true self, not as Superman, but as Clark. I have a specific spot in the comics that I think you'd like to read. Sadly I'm posting this from my iPad so I can't add a picture. But it's the New 52 Superman book, issue 13, page 10.

Anyway, thanks for showing me that and giving your opinion. It's nice to have a discussion rather than a debate.

Haha, perfect timing! Happy Independence Day!
