Batman stories are versatile, while Superman stories are more limited. This versatility makes Batman stories more appealing.

[{"selector":"#anim-708a3f63-6aa6-4057-b190-8ef27179786f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b39a769d-15c0-48dd-bcbe-e3b3bd552cf3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.32773%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20761e94-23cc-45d7-9d2e-fa91fa66d1df [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-25.012730882213713%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]
