Superman Thinks Batman is Missing an Alien Villain
InWonder Woman # 7by Tom King , Guillem March , Arif Prianto , and Clayton Cowles , Batman ’s birthday is come up , and Wonder Woman and Superman are determined to get him the perfect present tense this class . They get together up at Andromeda Mall , the biggest mall in the beetleweed and a spot that has almost anything anyone could ever want . Unfortunately , both Diana and Clark know that Bruce is n’t the easy person to shop for and what should be a childlike junket becomes an arduous quest .
Batman likes it when he feels important .

Diana dismisses the mind and help Superman recover by dragging him to a movie theater to rest .
Would a Space Villain Give Batman What He Needs Most?
Superman does raise a full point . Out of all the scoundrel in Batman ’s traditional varlet drift , he does n’t have a villain that comes from space . He ’s got consecutive killers , maniac , terrorists , crime boss , bravo , doctors , variation , and even a man made of life stiff . Batmandoeshave a passel of supervillains that have a supernatural bend to themlike Solomon Grundy , Deacon Blackfire and the creepy-crawly sect the Court of Owls , but no villain that would technically specify as as alien .
Batman should have at least one reproducible foe that breaks the average .
That ’s not to say that Batman has never fought an exotic villain before , as he apparently has with the Justice League . But threats like Darkseid , the Anti - Monitor , or Starro are all team - based villains , not I that Bruce is generally capable of handle on his own . Despite the epic cheek - off Batman had with Darkseid inFinal Crisis , few rooter , if any , would condition Darkseid as a member of Batman ’s rascal ’ gallery . And while there are plenty of low - level space - theme villains Batman could overcome like Kanjar Ro or Manga Khan , none of them are on Batman ’s radar .
The want of a space villain really is one of the few things that separates Batman from Superman and Wonder Woman . Superman has several exotic enemies like Brainiac and Lobo . While Wonder Woman mostly fights wizardly scourge , even she ’s battle a few evil alien airstream that have derive to Earth such as the Ichor ( not to mention Diana ’s competition with Darkseid ’s daughter Grail ) . Superman might be proper that a Heron as established asBatman should have at least one consistent foe that breaks from the average and get from outer space .
It’s Time for Batman to Have an Alien Supervillain
Batman does n’t need an exotic villain to examine himself as a competent torpedo . He ’s fought some of the most insidious threats in the DC Universe and has been crucial to stopping some of the most ruinous upshot in DC history . However , it would n’t be the worst thing in the world for Bruce to have a villain that challenges him in a way that Scarecrow or Bane can’t . Batman ’s more than just a street - level defenderand he deserve a villain that shows off his talents more than his usual foes .
Heroes are only as estimable as their villains . While Batman has a rapscallion ’ gallery that routinely show off his deductive artistry and hand - to - deal combat , a villain that ’s slightly more strong and perdurable than could be an interesting alteration of pace for Batman . It would thrust Bruce to find Modern and interesting solutions to his problems that ca n’t be work out by placing his opponent in Arkham . Supermanmight not be gettingBatmana space scoundrel for his natal day , but that does n’t mean it ’s not a unspoilt idea for Bruce to have one .
