Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.

The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.

I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.

Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.

Does the 70s muscle car from The Batman have a chance at becoming your new favorite Batmobile?

It’s not as visually iconic as the Burton Batmobile, but it’s a sleeker design than the Tumbler and it actually looks practical to drive around a city.

I like roadster Batmobiles. I don’t know, some people like Bat-tanks, I like these Bat-muscle cars.

The entrance of the batmobile in The Batman is better than any other Batman film.

It's to functional and "realistic" Not as boring as the Noland tumbler though

It's a cool car, but it's no where near as iconic as Adam west's batmobile 89s or even the Tumblr, still looking forward to seeing it in action.

It just seems like a more or less suped up sports car to me. But then again, I’m not exactly a car person, either. I kind of just want the Batmobile to stand out. To look imposing and impressive.

They have their issues but they have done good stuff like being well produced with good visuals and cinematography than the movies and fleshing out characters who only had supporting roles in the films . I think they'll get better in the future once marvel starts getting the hang of it.

WandaVision - was really interesting and trippy || FaWS - asked some very important questions || Loki - clever and creative || Hawkeye - Fun and cool || What If - all of the above depending on episode. Overall I love it.

The D+ shows are some of the best superhero content ever made.

Love them Loki and WandaVision were some of the most experimental and fantastic TV shows out there, Falcon was smart and really important, Hawkeye was fun and What If was both hilarious and really sad.

There’s a formula at play in these Disney+ shows, but it’s apparent Feige and co. aren’t as experienced with TV as they are with film. These feel like films that have been extended and awkwardly restructured for the TV miniseries format. They also feel disposable which betrays their “big” nature.

I think on the whole I've been more let down by the marvel shows than I have enjoyed them, and I don't think any have managed to stick the landing so far. At least, of the ones I've seen - I couldn't sit through all of What If? and we aren't done with Moon Knight yet. Hoping the last proves me wrong

WandaVision is okay, but net positive. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is terrible. Loki is not much better. Hawkeye is fine but middling. They have not given us a reason to be excited.
