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.
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.
So, I'd really be happy with either. However, Bane interests me more for this series, as they seemed to be hinting at him with that green substance Batman uses. As much as I really like Hardy's portrayal, we've yet to have a comic-accurate film version that has much time to shine and be his own man.

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