I don't rate Batman

But you have more than one batman:
You have the 70's gay batman, he was a big crap, like the 70's.
Then you have the god that is Frank Miller and the reinvention of batman. Now we have a grim dark tactical genius of a batman.
Also see what Miller did to Daredevil. He turned the dumbest super hero into one of the best series ever.

Conversely, I struggle to abide any super hero that isn't Batman.
My youth was sometimes spent playing Superman or Spiderman, so I have a soft spot for those two as characters, but the others (especially if we're talking the modern movies) leave me cold.
Iron Man, I just don't like at all. He just strikes me as a bit of a dick.
If we're talking modern movies, my favourites are;
Spiderman 2 (Sam Raimi)
Batman Again
Batman Again Again
Batman Begins
Spiderman 1 (Sam Raimi)
And (even thought I think they're more of a cynical marketing exercise)
Avengers Assemble
Thor (maybe)
But, then again, maybe I just watched the other movies in a bad mood and I'm totally wrong. I quite enjoyed Prometheus. Go figure : )

Consider the following:
Superman is the golden-boy/boy scout. For all intents and purposes, Superman operates within the bounds of the law.
Batman is the opposite - he operates outside of the law.
Superman may subdue a perpetrator, but Batman isn't opposed to beating the truth out of one to obtain more leads.
Superman is a reactionary super hero, he isn't often seen to be trying to stop crime at the source, he comes in when things get bad.
In contrast, Batman is constantly investigating and hunting down criminals. He actively tries to subvert organized crime and all the costumed criminals.

As far as super heroes go he's my favourite - you can almost believe it, well far more than some kid who gets bitten by a spider and gets all the benefits without any of the drawbacks of being, well a spider or someone who can reverse the effects of gravity because of a lack of kryptonite and/or magic.
Frankly, IMO comic book films are crap.
