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.

Most of their upcoming movies already feel disconnected from what Snyder set up, so shutting it down (possibly after Flash) wouldn't be an issue.

With flicks like Wonder Woman and Aquaman being a success, I don't see any reason to completely scrap it. I rather they try to emulate the comics and allow for different interpretations at the same time.

I still think of what they plan to do in that flash movie is well executed then you do have a chance of salvaging this universe. Also minus some of the earlier stuff a lot of the current stuff has been well received for the most part so I think they should definitely stick to it for now.

You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done

Braden

If the movies felt like more connected to each other in some way it would probably be better. Everything is all on it's own, which is good, but if they want to grow a franchise definitely going to need a better formula than they have now.

Willpower is the Lantern emotion on which Batman most relies. While fear is a tool he uses greatly in his early days, soon enough the initial effect wears off, as Batman becomes a known entity, abiding by a code. However, he remains effective due to his drive and discipline, whether feared or not.

Tanner Smith

Batman is a character based more on his will than his fear in my opinion
