Are you more of a fan of Batman THE DETECTIVE or BATMAN THE SUPERHERO?

I just had to ask this to all Batman readers. Are you more of a fan of Batman THE DETECTIVE or BATMAN THE SUPERHERO.

Reading Snyder's Detective Comics run last year, when Dick Grayson was The Batman. I came to re-appreciate the skills and the way Batman is the World's Greatest Detective. As much as I love Batman the Superhero, when he is dealing with unearthly tasks like in the Justice League, I just enjoy the detective stories more for some reason.

How about you guys?

Like Tony Stark said: "Is it too much to ask for both?"

[Zarquon]

Similarly, I like both, but I definitely lean towards "detective."

[Mr. Holmes]

Both. I only voted detective, because we rarely ever get a proper detective Batman.

Im very much a detective fan, I initially tolerated the superhero stuff because I couldnt get enough of batman and its come to have grown on me over the years. There is room for both so everyone can enjoy batman the way they like it.

I do like Batman most when he does use his super detective powers, but he would be so boring to me if that was all he was. The superhero stuff makes it fun and more interesting and variety is the spice of life. Heck, even part of the appeal of Gotham Central was the regular detectives having to deal with all the superhero-related things.

He's a detective who's a superhero. You can't really separate the two. Except in elseworlds I guess.

I think the character starts to go south when either of those elements gets omitted. Part of what makes Batman work is the combination of his detective skills with the fantastic nature of his superheroics, I think.
