Spiderman....Comic book version. I don't really appreciate Batman, his character just seems like an overly dark and blemished Byronic-type brooder. Spiderman is more relatable. A normal guy who stumbles upon powers.

This reminds me of that scene in The Avengers where Tony Stark is arguing with Cap about who's better and why. I prefer the self-made hero (even a self-made villain or anti-hero) who spends years in mental and physical preparation toward their goals over someone who gets powers by luck or drugs.

Spiderman: [to Batman] Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?
Batman: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
Spiderman: I-
Batman: Industrialist, chemist, strategist, tactician.
Spiderman: But-
Batman: Detective, ninja, acrobat, escapologist.
Spiderman: Y-
Batman: Marksman, swordsman, hacker, pilot. Got anything better?
Spiderman: Uhh... I can stick to walls, secrete strong threads from my wrists, and I can sew. And I feel all tingly when I'm in danger.
Batman: I said "better".

Well, I don't read comic books, just watch the movies, so I, of course, vote Batman.

I saw it more as he was asking who would win in a fight, not that you are wrong. I completely agree.

I'm guessing there won't be a new battle from him because of his post on the last page.

Ugh.. I can't think of a new one. I give the job to someone who can handle this.

Bill Gates, I mean sure, I love my IPod, but I much rather prefer the layout and accessibility of Windows.

A tough battle, considering these two men have both contributed so much to our everyday lives.

In order to vote, I'm going to venture into my everyday life. Steve Jobs pioneered the technology for major devices such as the Apple computer, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad. But I don't have an Apple computer, an iPod, an iPhone, or an iPad. I have a Windows computer that runs Windows 7, the easiest, most useful, and least glitchy operating system I've ever used. I have used Apple products in the past, and they've caused me to buy Windows computers and eventually Android phones simply because I didn't like the iOS interface.

I'm a PC, and voting for Bill Gates was my idea.

With all these "Battle of" threads, pretty soon we could have a Battle of the Battle of threads thread.

This is a tough one. Although I should probably look at the persons themselves and not their products, I'm going to focus on their products because it's what I know about them best.

PC Pros
_________________
1.) I'd say more people tend to use PCs over MACs for laptops, desktops, large corporations, and schools.

2.) PCs are considered superior for gaming, in part by the fact that more games are available for PCs.

3.) It's the "classic thought" that MACs hold up better against PCs when it comes to photo editing, video editing, and music creation, but I feel in recent years PC has taken a foothold in those areas too. Photoshop will run just as well on the PC nowadays and I've heard PCs are usually cheaper than MACs while maintaining the same processing speed. For video editing, Final Cut Pro was used widely and very highly regarded for it's features, until Final Cut Pro X was released. I would consider Final Cut Pro X a fail, alllowing Avid (another highly revered editing software) to move back near the number one spot. Avid runs on PC.

MAC pros

1.) Ever heard of a little thing called the Apple iPhone? Yes, what a silly question, they are everywhere. Pretty much the smartphone of choice (I'm not up to date, but Android is may pass them up?)

2.) The iPad and iPad minis seem to be the tablet computers of choice.

3.) iPods and Apple iTunes, when it comes to listing to music on a portable device iPod is usually the number one choice. (Remember when portable, digital music devices were called MP3 players? iPods became synonyms with MP3 player and then quickly just replaced the term altogether. Who even calls them portable music players? lol)

I vote for Bill Gates. Really close call. Some say he stole his technology from Steve Jobs, but Bill Gates PCs are too important for me to err in favor of Steve Jobs.
