This reminds me of that moment when a kid tells Batman, "No offense, but Superman is my favorite hero."

And Batman basically responds, "That's okay. He's mine too."

For all the jokes about Batman and Superman being opposites, Bruce has always seen Clark as the ideal—the hero he wishes the world could always have. 🦇❤️🦸

Is it canon that Superman’s favorite hero is Nightwing? Or is that a Fanon thing?

Well Superman is canonically the first Nightwing so it would make sense if it was.

One of my greatest hopes with Gunn’s DCU is we FINALLY get this in live action. The legendary Clark and Bruce Bromance.

This was in Detective Comics 1017. I wrote a guest issue before I took over the series years later.

Any time I see Batman dialogue I hear it in Kevin Conroy's voice. You did incredible work with the character, Tom.

And that’s why Batman will always be my favorite superhero.

I think I remember reading a long time ago that his favorite superhero was the Flash (Barry Allen).

Or maybe it was something like that if he could be a different superhero he would like to be the Flash (Barry Allen) because he was professional in his detective work but had the hopeful outlook like Superman.

okay fine followed

Nobody even asked bro that lmaooo
