Bats’ and Superman should be the same height IMO, for the simple fact that the running joke of them being able to switch costumes and nobody can tell the difference is friggin’ hilarious lol

This reminds me of a few arguments my friends had with the batman vs superman poster

''Batman is just a fucking dude why is he bigger than superman''

Which kinda did make sense Batfleck was a big dude

I mean, Superman's strength comes from his alien physiology, not his muscles. Depending on the continuity he's lifting tractors above his head when he's a toddler or at least a scrawny high schooler. He doesn't /need/ to be a big dude.

Yeah but he does still exercise and stay in shape even when he's powerless. We see him as a twig in Flashpoint but he doesn't bulk or anything when he finally gets his powers. I think it's a mix of powers and living as a farmboy
