    Eh, Batman is exactly as single-note as Superman is.

    Superman requires very good writing from someone who understands what to do with the character.

    I’m pretty excited to see what Gunn does with him, tbh.

      That’s a fair comparison. Superman is powerful enough to always make the right choice, even when it’s hard. The appeal comes from Superman discovering and making the right choice.

      Batman makes the necessary choice (apart from killing), which isn’t always the right choice. The appeal comes from stories where Batman walks the line between criminal vigilante and hero who saves the day.
