Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.

The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.

I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.

Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.

Do you prefer the first half (seasons 1-5) or the second half (seasons 6-10) of Smallville?

Note that me saying seasons 1-5 doesn't mean it has more stuff that I liked, because I do prefer more stuff in later seasons, but I think these seasons were cleaner story wise. I feel like the second half was more messy.

While I can see the argument that the button layout is kind of wonky, the GC controller is perhaps the best feeling controller in terms of just how snugly it fits into my hands. Rivaled in that regard only by the newest Gen console controllers.

Also gotta give respect for Nintendo for trying something new with their controllers for almost every gen even if it doesn't always work.

I like the GameCube controller but the button layout is so weird. I can’t really play old Mario platformers easily. The sticks on the PS2 controller also feel good.

While I like both, a PlayStation controller (especially 1-3) is just so intuitive/second nature to me, having grown up on those systems! The G.C. one is certainly well-built, but the triggers require a stronger than normal push to register. P.S. is just the gold standard and has a great foundation!
