They’re both completely and utterly fictional. But one is way cooler when it comes to worship…
- The Dark Knight didn’t die for your sins. The Dark Knight punched your sins in the eye.
- When Joseph and Mary were held up at gunpoint on the way home from the chariot races, Jesus did nothing. NOTHING!
- Bruce Wayne’s Dad was way nicer and more rich than Jesus’ Dad.
- No contest in terms of who had the better super-villains: The Joker would make Pontius Pilate and Judas run up a tree in terror.
- Jesus would have been so much harder for the Romans to catch and crucify if he’d been posing as a wealthy playboy.
- 12 sidekicks? That is way too many sidekicks.
- Unlike Jesus, Batman never needed anyone to say thank you to him.
- When they rolled away the rock, Batman he wasn’t there. He hadn’t ascended to heaven, he was just kicking back in Italy with Catwoman.
- At Easter we should be commemorating the time when Bruce Wayne finally made the climb out of the pit and punched Bane in the face because it is a much better story.
- Batman had no parents. Jesus had three parents. And one of them was omnipotent.
