Moridin920 posted:The problem is to write a genius level detective or whatever you generally have to be at least as smart as the character you are trying to write (or be a really really good writer but then you're probably writing novels not comics) so 99% of the time you're just told Batman is the best in the world and shown some Encyclopedia Brown poo poo. Maybe, but there are hundreds of mystery novels out there to steal from, and I don't have the expectation that it's a true mystery story in the sense that the reader can solve the mystery before or at the same time as Batman. I think I'd be happy if they even had a scene where somehow Batman stops a bad thing from happening and Gordon's like "Batman how'd you know there was a bomb in the ice rink?" and Bats gives a Holmesian "well once I realized blah blah blah I deduced blah blah." that the reader could never verify.

Yeah, true. Idk man it's the same reason superhero movies pick the stupidest plotlines out of the literally thousands of potential comic storylines to use (some of which would make for really great movies). Writers suck most of the time but think they don't because they refuse to listen to constructive criticism. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jun 29, 2015 |

Superman would make a better detective because he can just travel around the sun to go back in time and see what happened first hand. The only downside is potentially getting stuck in Bizarro Earth where Lex Luthor, leader of the Nazis, has taken over the world. Or a dimension where Superman was raised by his neighbors and ended up being a evil punk rock superman.

Doesn't he just write whatever he wants to know onto ticker tape and feed it into his giant computer for the answer?
