Countdown to BvS: 1 Trash Talk

One day to go for BvS!!! Everyone is excited for the greatest superhero fight. Of course what is a fight without the banter? We all know that Batman has an attitude problem and it usually show on his quips and talk back with the other heroes. Today we will showcase what we think is the best Batman trash talk against Superman ever.  

“Tell me do you bleed?” “You will.” This BVS trailer trash talk became so popular that a lot memes has been made out of it. But this is just the tip of the iceberg; Batman has a lot of things to say to Superman. So much that it’s hard to pick just one. We finally decided on Infinite Crisis number one.    

“Everyone looks up to you. They listen to you. If you tell them to fight, they'll fight. But they need to be inspired. And let's face it, "Superman" ... the last time you really inspired anyone was when you were dead”. -- Infinite Crisis #1

Infinite Crisis is a 2005 – 2006 DC comic book event written by
Geoff Johns and illustrated by Phil Jimenez, George Perez, Ivan Reis and Jerry Ordway. This was a sequel to the 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The story begins with Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman feuding, in the wake of the JLA tower being destroyed and many heroes all facing a variety of menaces. Batman created the out of control Brother Eye and OMAC program to counteract metahumans which led to Wonder Woman killing Maxwell Lord. Superman in his anger told Batman what his paranoia has done to them and Batman’s retort is a thing of beauty. This was beautifully done on two pages until they were interrupted by Mongul.

The reason why we picked this above all else, is because of the gravity of the situation and the personal attack on Superman. Heroes are being attacked all over the world not just by a united villain group but also by the public. They need Superman to regroup them and lead them out of this crisis. Superman prides himself as an inspiration to all. For Batman to tell him the last time he was inspirational was the time he died, is a serious barb to the Man of Steel. At the end, it would take a number of deaths for the three heroes to overcome this feud.
