Batman could never take the Silver Surfer in a fight. Maybe he should go fight some other loser, like Aquaman.

Who is the greatest superhero?

Post-Moore Swamp Thing is afraid of Batman. Silver Surfer doesn't stand a chance.
Batman.
Let's put it this way. You have Superman who has just about every power there is, and could push the planet into the sun if he wanted to. But even Superman calls Batman "the most dangerous man on Earth".
You want to see the epitome of overpowered badassery?
That's right. Let's give Batman a power ring that can generate a variety of effects, sustained purely by the ring wearer's strength of will where the greater the user's willpower, the more effective the ring. So let's take the most dangerous man on Earth and give him a power referred to as "the most powerful weapon in the universe" on more than one occasion. Yea. That couldn't possibly be a tad bit overpowered could it?

False. However, Dick Grayson sees more bumper than a chop shop, so you were on the right track.
Simo Häyä, AKA White Death.
Finnish guy that killed more than 700 soviet soldiers on the during the Winter War (19391940) between Finland and the Soviet Union. 542 with a rifle, and almost 200 with sub machine gun.

Yeah, but he's gay, and everyone knows that it's easier for a gay superhero to get tail than it is for a straight one. You know, because of the tights and all.
All discussions about super heroes should begin and end with Batman.
Best superhero, best comics, best writer/artist combos - best overall.
I think that Agent Cheesecake is a close second though, based on name alone.

My favorite has always been Gambit from X-Men
No idea why he was omitted from the movies...

Kind of surprised that there's no love for the Wonder Twins. I mean Batman, etc...are OK, but they don't run around with a crime fighting monkey. Enough said.
+however many required to place vote.
I've always liked Batman for this reason. Just couldn't get into any of the others cause they did have all their powers. . .
The Tick is the best superhero hands down. All these other sniveling little pseudo-action superheros can all go
