Simple (but geeky) question....

Which is the BETTER film in your opinion? Richard Donner's Superman (1978) or Tim Burton's Batman (1989).

Please try to avoid bias toward one character or the other. I'm talking about straight storytelling, score, character arc, acting, etc.

Thanks

I think the Superman movie tells a better story.

I think this should go on the Movie section of DVDTalk.

Superman.

Okay, I think Superman is better, but how is this going to settle the argument?

It's a close call, but I think that Flash Gordon edges out the Masked Marvel.

This should have been a poll.

Batman

I also think both sequels are better than the originals, with Batman Returns edging out Superman II.

Batman is better. Superman was a good movie, but that going back in time scene at the end nearly ruined it.

Batman. I just liked it better stylistically.
(I don't really know if style really counts in your definition of better film )

Fincher Fan

It's a really tough question but the whole "Can you read my mind?" section in Superman really drags the film down a notch for me. So another vote for Batman.

Superman.

Batman.

Definitely Batman. That was the first VHS my family ever owned. I can seriously still remember every line of dialogue from that movie with perfect expression and timing.
