The article talked about Superman much better than I can, but it had an undercurrent running through it that interested me. It used Batman as its primary point of comparison for Superman and was not very nice to him. Batman has "basic hedonistic flaws (as we all do)", he's faux-"deep," he's right too often, he only nods at humanness without taking any of the penalties, he's crazy and militaristic, Batman OP nerf Batman, etc.
Not as a response but inspired by the article (the point wasn't "Batman is boring," it was "Superman is interesting," and making comparisons to Batman as a face for other "popular heroes" [switch Ironman for Batman and it's the same article] was just the means), I would like to speak, personally, about why Batman is my favorite hero, and my favorite character in comics in general.
