Batman is not a qualified superhero!
And yet he defeated the entire Justice League and is basically their field leader.
For christs sake, he doesn't even have a gun!
Duh! He doesn't like them.
he can't do anything like fly
Yes he can.
swim
Yes he can.
run really fast
Faster than you.
teleport
Yes he can.
sling webs
Yup he can do that too. You miss the point of Batman. He can do anything a superhero can do artificially, but top that off with being smarter than all of them and you've got one heck of a hero.
then grabbed a cape and some tights
Actually he spent the next twenty years training to become a hero.
All Batman is an unpaid vigilante
You mean like most heros?
if someone in Gotham actually had some type of superpower, WTH could Batman do?
You mean like Poison Ivy or Clayface or Vertigo or Solomon Grundy?
Why does Superman need a second life, an alias, and a job?
To keep himself grounded. He was Clark before he was Superman so he'll always see himself as Clark playing Superman. It's what he's most comfortable with.
He lives in a damn cave in the middle of the North Pole.
He doesn't live there. He works there sometimes.
That bothers me too; why does he have a house thousands of miles away from the city he protects
Because he protects the planet too. And it's a fortress, not a house.
why does he have a house?
He needs to live somewhere.
And about Metropolis; why do criminals only try to take IT over?
Many don't, but those that do have good reasons. Either they're only trying for local power such as drug dealing or they realize that overthrowing the most technologically advanced city in the world is the first best step towards national domination. It worked for Lex Luthor.
where's Superman to protect those cities?
Depends upon the city. Many other cities have their own heros. If he's needed Superman goes there. You see it in one of his most popular story arcs ever, his fight with Doomsday.
Every city must be smarter than Metropolis, because the only disguise Superman has is a pair of glasses, and nobody notices that!
And slicked back hair and posture and voice change and attitude change, but you're right it's not the best disguise.
DBZ is shit!
Well they aren't heros in the traditional sense, but I'll take this on too.
If I was some buffed-up idiot from some far-away galaxy, why would I give a shit about Earth?
Same reason I gave about Metropolis being a good place to start. Granted with all the destruction going on out in space by Buu and Freiza there isn't all that much left. It's not like there were too many alien villains in the series. Picolo was banished to Earth. The Saiyans were targeting every inhabited planet and Earth just happened to be one on which there was a snag, Cooler came for revenge, Earth was Bibidy and Buu's next stop in the Galaxy.
And if I could blow up some shit, I wouldn't spend so much time throwing punches and karate kicks.
That takes up more energy. If you're about even saving energy on attacks that won't work isn't a smart tactic.
Also, the concept of time must not exist on DBZ (or GT or whatever the hell it is now). I remember it took like 20 half-hour episodes for a planet to explode that only had one minute.
What does that have to do with the heros?
why doesn't anybody ever wish for an unlimited amount of wishes?
Because the dragon has limits.
You my friend, need to do more research and thinking before you talk about things of which you have little understanding.
