As iconic and important as Supes is, I just never enjoyed reading the comic book as a kid, so I’m going with Batman. ---

I didn’t think I’d go this way in the end… Blame _Iron Giant_ …Suuuuuperman! ---

I assume I’m too late, but since the OP doesn’t specify on _which_ Sunday the balloting ends (or ended), I’ll cast a late vote for Superman! Even with this desperation bid tallied, however, Batman still holds a 13-11 lead. ---

Due to the board collapse, I’m extending this an extra day. ---

Sorry for the delay. My online connection collapsed. But no last minute rally, A highly prepared Batman defeated Superman (13-11) and emerged as the Greatest Superhero. ---

I called it. [Post 29](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=475983) What do I win? 😃 ---

Humbug. I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to these two. ---

[QUOTE=Cisco] Humbug. I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to these two. [/QUOTE] Indeed. You could have called this one in the _second_ post, let alone **Auto** ’s 29th. (I’m surprised Supes got as many votes as he did; I really don’t get what people see in him as a character.) This is why I was hoping for some randomization in the seeding, so that some other worthy hero might make it to the finals. That would at least have been interesting.
