Weekly Question DC Bracket Round One 01/08/15
So here we are, trying new things for the site. In 2015, barring a few breaks, we are going to be having a mega tournament to determine the official Longbox Heroes Character. There will be three Brackets, DC, Marvel and Indies, of sixteen characters each.
Whilst many of these characters have different versions in media (TV shows, movies, etc.) or even past version, my mindset for this tournament is the current version shown in the comics.
We will alternate between the three brackets each week, starting with DC. The first match of the first round sees the number one seed, Batman:
Take on the number nine seed, the Flash (Barry Allen):
Make your case heard. The person with the most votes moves on to the next round.
Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there!
Next week, we start the Indie bracket!
All week I tried to come up with an argument in which Flash could win, but like in a court of law there’s always too much reasonable doubt. Batman would win even being fairly objective he has to be my choice. Especially if its only the New 52 version of these characters. The Batman body of work puts too many tools in his bag against the comparatively more limited appearances of the current Barry Allen Flash. In my heart Flash wins but in this poll its hands down Batman.
