Compare and Contrast Batman vs Superman Not often in literary history do two characters contrast and match each other so well. Batman and Superman are the figure heads of DC comics and were the only characters keeping the comic giant above the rising waters of collapse.

Batman had to bevery forceful when it came to either one of the villains until he beat both the Joker and theScarecrow.
