One debate you don't need to have...

[Josh]

I dunno the fact that Roshi could crush the moon into dust within seconds during DB seems to indicate that the DBZ characters have a ridiculous amount of strength, considering Goku was literally hundreds of thousands of times stronger than that later on in the series.

Destruction in Dragonball is dictated by the need of the plot. Sure, Roshi could destroy the moon early on, but Piccolo's first full-powered devil beam merely destroyed the top of a mountain. It can be inconsistent because it's a silly manga. The writers of Superman take consistency a bit more seriously.

You're all very silly.

You posted this thread.

I refuse to take responsibility for my own actions here.

I did post the thread, linking people to something they would find interesting given the nature of this site, knowing full well that I can generate irony by naming the thread "One debate you don't need to have... " and take responsibility for your behavior fool!

I'm actually going to take part of the credit for that.

You can't seriously believe that, Silver Age Superman's powers were nothing but plot he was as strong or weak as the plot required.

Also for the purpose of time travel, it's a moot point. In Goku's world, traveling faster than light =! time travel. And if Goku went and fought in Superman's world Time Travel wouldn't be that much of an advantage because Goku didn't exist there before the beginning of the fight.

I love how the basis for this debate is highly philosophical and physics based.

[Kaden]

physics based.

Physics are relative in this case. The argument really becomes "who's made up physics are we using."

Which is hilarious in-and-of itself.

Batman wins.

I've actually been looking for a pic of Supes and Goku dead on the ground and Batman standing over them, but to no avail.

[Jack]

Because that's a bigger pipe-dream than Obama promising 5 million new jobs.

[Sage]

Yeah... Batman's kind of neat, I guess, but either Goku or Supes could just fart in his direction and remove him from existence.

[Pinky]

With a proper planning montage Batman is invincible.

[Sage]

Riiiight.

I hate people who always try to use that shit.

"With proper prep time, Batman can exploded anybody that stands in his way."

Broker, please. The assumption is that two combatants are thrown somewhere with nothing but their abilities and wit. None of this story arc BS, where Batman uses his detective skills to defeat opponents that could easily blow up a planet.

[Sage]

Which can't happen anyway.

"I've come up with this AWESOME PLAN,"

Newsflash. Superman's smarter than you and even if he wasn't he can travel back in time to before your awesome plan was hatched.

[Kaden]

Superman could figure out any plan because of his Super Concentration.

What don't people get about that?

[Jack]

Does that mean Silver Age Bizarro had Super ADHD?
