No contest - Star Wars.

Redbeaver · 12th Nov 2007, 12:06

pfffft.......wadaya guys mean? of course there is NO contest.. they're both in the same universe! They're just very...far...far... apart.

its like asking which is better; batman or superman. like... duh!

CardJoe · 12th Nov 2007, 12:13

Batman.

Blatantly. In the future scenarios played out by many of the Comics Superman ends up working for the government and Batman is the only true superhero left after The Punisher is killed - all others are either killed, retire or are recruited by organisations and governments. Only Batman refuses to give in and has the strength to carry on fighting for what he believes - which is why the government send Superman to kill him and why, even then, Batman is able to match him blow for blow (with kryptonite knuckledusters). IIRC the comic ends with the two of them in the sewers about to deal each other killing blows, both crying.

It's pretty obvious I spent the weekend re-reading Civil War and House of M, isn't it?

Rorscarch pwns them both though, or The Question

Wars wins hands down, Trek does not even deserve to be in the same contest, if you can call it that

I dislike most of Star Wars, there is only an hour or two of entertainment in the whole series. In Star Trek there has to be more than two hours of watchable Scifi across the series's and movies.

HD DVD uses the same blue-violet laser as Blu-Ray.. you could also pull apart a cheap HD player to blind yourself and look cool with.

That is because Star Wars is made of pure awesomeness and WIN, and thus does not need to pack it self out with non reclaimable hours from ones life.

This looks like the same sort of laser you get in http://computer.howstuffworks.com/st....htm/printable

PS. The narrative on the video has to be the most annoying thing ever!
