The thing about superman that pisses me off is that he never trains or anything. Just whelp got my powers, let's go kick butt. Goku would be all training hard in his hyperbolic chamber, getting prepared, and supes is on the couch eating chips and listening to Lois lane's phone convos. He just has it too easy. That's why in a fight to the death, I'm backing goku
was goku able to instant transmit between dimensions?
Goku's son is capable of shouting at reality loud enough to break a hole into another dimension, and a villain goku beat could use his energy to just blow the whole universe up (so presumably goku could too)
Blowing up planets is basically babyfood for the DBZ characters by the end of the series.
Like, if you can't blow up a planet you suck some major dick.
I'm pretty sure everyone including goku's 11 year old granddaughter can blow up planets. There's more than one fight in the series where they show them having to be careful to not accidentally blow the planet up.

It's because fuckin no one reads the superman family of comics because they're super lame when the batbooks are so much better ipso facto superman loses
honestly, a lot of this argument comes from ignorance
it's entirely more likely that people in the arguments have seen or read all of Dragonball Z than have seen or read all of Superman's media
so, you know, entirely understandable that people don't know what Superman can do, what he does do, why he's so goddamn great
get your joke circuits fixed dang
also superman is a butthole

Fictional entities can't fight to the death. However, both are highly prized billion-dollar franchises owned by multinational corporations. Time Warner owns DC, but which company really owns Dragon Ball? Funimation? Toei Animation? Akira Toriyama himself? The real question is who has a higher net worth, and thus could raise a larger paramilitary force to destroy the other one.
We'll get back there someday.

incorrect
every person who thinks that Superman would lose doesn't know a thing about Superman
i submit that as a girl you don't know shit about comics and furthermore
i don't expect anyone to read that whole fucking thing
I liked it.
congratulations on being terrible
I thought is was funny as hell how after all was said and done he thought she was hot in a shirt.

as amazing as the page with the jumper is on its own
the setup is even better
Superman is in the middle of a fight with a bad guy when he hears the psychologist calling to say that he's late and to not hang up
and then immediately after he stops the fight he goes to save that girl
Antimatter on

i like that ennis hates superheros but i hate that this means people dismiss The Boys out of hand
because its not about how superheros suck
i mean it is according to one of the characters but it's really not
it's about how having absolute power is corrupting and about competence vs incompetence and long plans and slow burns
Race? Goku (unless he's not allowed to Instant Transmission, then he can only win if the race doesn't involve traveling into space)
Fight? Superman (no contest)
Eating contest? Goku
Writing contest? Superman (also probably applies to any kind of test or academic contest)
Fishing contest? Goku
Leadership Abilities? Superman
Most Facebook Friends? Superman (Mr. Satan might beat him, though)
Nah, let's settle this with the most important metric: which one has punched more monkeys/apes?
Even though Saiyans are basically monkey people, Goku has only gotten to punch a handful of them, whereas Superman has punched more monkeys than you can shake a stick at. Thus Superman is the winner.

this has sprouted a bunch of ideas in my head about like....forum games
some sort of olympics where everyone picks a team and there are a bunch of categories and a panel of judges picks who wins certain match-ups in categories week by week

That is true, I like Goku better than super man. But I like Batman better than both of them abd I think he would win in the end.

false
action comics is pretty fuckin tits right now

because gmo is writing it
i don't like superman and i like action comics
Batman would be able to do it if anyone could, unlike lameass super man.

one of two or three superman stories i legit enjoy (also red son, maybe, and the current action comics (please note a thing they all have in common))
i love that page devoid of all context though

is the one where Superman gives Batman "the last piece of kryptonite on earth" just to keep it safe
and then Supes walks away and Batman goes to put it in his closet
and BAM
turns out Batman plans for fucking everything
but he was made by the children of jewish immigrants

basically a Fantasy Fantasy League
Also referring to grant Morrison as gmo is superwack
Instead he was just a runner-up, so he only infracted himself instead of banned.
No, if I had the chance to shove a spear through Druhim or shoot Lostwords with arrows I would have remembered that.
