Can't New 52 Superman bench press earth?

Isn't Blooper Saiyan weaker than Saiyan God?

Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan shouldn't be stronger or weaker than Super Saiyan God, since all that's happening is using the Super Saiyan form to maintain the God Ki.

[up][up][up]Must be the day a new episode comes out.

Anyway. It seems to actually be not the best time to remake this episode. You just know that Super is going to juice up Goku again the day after the DB rematch comes out, ensuring nothing is resolved.

[up][up][up] That's only a myth youtubers came up with to gain viewership.

As stated before, SSJGSS should be at least as strong as SSJG or only tangentially a bit stronger. Not less powerful, that'd be an odd thing.

Well from what I saw of the preview, they seem to be using a model based on his New 52 outfit, so they might have to redo everything for Supes since nothing from the New 52 continuity was used in the original.

Since DBS is re-doing everything between the end of the Buu Saga up to Resurrection F before heading onto the Super Dragon Ball Saga, how many episodes do y'all think the God Saga will be?

I want to say 20-25 episodes, which I think seems to be a good amount to cover YSGFR, BOG and RF along with some slice of life episodes.

25 is unlikely. It'll either be 13 or 26, so they can sell it as a season on DVD.

There is no logic to redoing the Superman v. Goku match ever, no matter how many times Goku gains a new transformation with higher power.

The logic behind Superman's victory was narrative, not rooted in feat comparisons and battle stats, "Goku's story is about overcoming his limitations while Superman's story is about not having any limitations." YMMV on the accuracy of that statement, but that's what they went with.

If that logic has not changed, then it doesn't matter what new transformations he acquires, Goku's story is still about overcoming limitations. If that logic has changed, then having a new transformation doesn't mean much because the match is being reconsidered under a completely different criteria anyway.

I am seriously confused by Dragon Ball fans who think Goku should have won.

I mean, Superman does some crazy shit. They listed the sort of crazy shit Superman does.

Those people should be beaten.

I like them both, but if a fight is ever decided by who I like more, then the whole process is unarguably tainted....

which may be why people are questioning the integrity of Death Battle lately.

I personally don't like Superman that much either, and I like Goku a lot (frankly, the only reason I watched the episode is because of how much I adore Masako X) but I think that, given the evidence presented, and given what I know of both characters from my experience with Dragon Ball and the DCAU, Superman is probably the one must likely to win.

[up] Gold should be about as bendable as Platinum.

The Rule with Superman is that he is exactly as strong as he needs to be. Superman's strength is theoretically infinite and he has never truly found something that made him find a limit to his strength, speed or endurance. His only limits are those he places upon himself.

The fight is incredibly one sided because Superman under Death Battle rules is flat out invincible, because under Death Battle rules Superman would fight to the full extent of his ability from moment zero and instantly win any battle.

[up][up][up]The DCAU is good and iconic for a reason but their Clark doesn't has anywhere near as much power as other versions of Clark, or even Goku himself, have. If you don't mind me asking, why do you think Clark would win based on it?

As for Personality... personally, Goku is still one of my all-time favorite childhood heroes. But as far as Clark goes I generally don't like treating him as a single character with a consistent personality. As I feel that forgets the many, many ways his story and character have been interpreted and re-interpreted throughout the ages.

Death Battle used a composite of Goku from all the movies and filler and crap (while discounting the bits of filler that contradict or are contradicted by the manga), and they used a composite of Superman from all the sources they could.

Goku himself is still supposed to be more-or-less the same person within all these stories though. I don't see that as being the case for Clark.

And yeah, but Clark's feats on the DCAU are almost all on the lower end of his overall feats.

It tickles me that Goku got to come back to life for a day just for being a good guy. Superman never got to do that. (Although, an evil version of him did rewrite history by punching the walls of reality)

The Rule with Superman is that he is exactly as strong as he needs to be. Superman's strength is theoretically infinite and he has never truly found something that made him find a limit to his strength, speed or endurance. His only limits are those he places upon himself.

The Death of Superman?

Doomsday beat him within an inch of his life!
