Tony Stark non hero over Bruce Wayne non hero all day.

I'm not a comic book guy, but I agree with you on this one. Tony Start is the one alter ego who actually knows how to enjoy the power he's got. Bruce Wayne really needs to get his ass into therapy and clear his mind so he can start enjoying what being a billionaire is all about.
I think in a fight, Iron Man takes Batman out in no time. Brand me as a heretic, but Batman always seemed kinda wimpy for a superhero. He's a guy in a cape with a hot car.
On other topics:
Star Trek over Star Wars. Star Wars has too much woo-woo mysticism. Star Trek is about as well based in science as a mass market show can be, so there's a lot less "midichlorian" arm waving. Star Wars lost me completely when the Death Star got destroyed by a single tiny missile fired from a fighter. Great drama, dumb design.
Buffy was brilliant. Hot bad-ass chick, surrounded by other hot chicks who were bad assed to various degrees. Works for me. I liked Firefly a lot, and would love to have a session with Inara. (I get the feeling that she's actually TheCFE's great-great-great-great granddaughter.)
