In reply to dienw. Funny you mention Superman's IQ- I've seen him portrayed as anything from borderline retarded by Frank Miller, to a brilliant though still inferior intellect (relative to Batman, anyway) by Grant Morrison. The extremely high IQ version of Superman is pretty rare; I've only seen him portrayed that way in Superman: Red Son.

When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things – 1 Corinthians 13:11

"Now, I always found Superman to be a mildly ridiculous superhero- the power of a god, the mindset of a Boy Scout."

What I have never understood is this: the Superman movies set up as part of the story-line that Jor El provides Kal El with the knowledge of five galactic civilizations as he travels to earth; then, Kal El is given greater knowledge when he reaches maturity; this implies that Kal El ;not only has great knowledge, but that his IQ is off the charts; in addition, his Fortress of Solitude is a gold mine of vast knowledge. Despite this, he is portrayed as mentally outclassed by Lex Luthor and Batman.

You can blame the appearance of the Batleck suit on retarded comic-book fanboys who hate the idea of the character of "The Dark Knight" wearing armour.
