Superman would kick the Hulks arse- just fly him where there is no oxygen and its all over for Dr. Banner.

[DPF: Hulk can hold his breath for a very long time]

On the subject of polls the current one appears to have missed out the third “God, I hope so!” option.

@Pauleastbay: Superman’s ethical standards/ability to think (as written) wouldn’t allow him to do that.

… how about you stop stealing from the needy by (a) abandoning your abuse of the welfare state and (b) getting income generating job & paying tax.

Who needs the Colmar Brunton Poll… Promising that ’55% think CIRs should be binding on Parliament and that Andrew Little gets the nod as the next Labour Leader. Disappointed the poll supports MMP, over STV and that Andy Haden should keep his job.

61% think Kevin Rudd will beat Tony Abbott
HA! I wonder what the result would be now?

I’m with Superman over the Hulk… In the comics Superman could move whole planets… the Hulk was more earth bound.
[DPF: That was probably pre-crisis Superman. Not so strong now. And Hulk can regenerate after a nuclear blast, plus he has no limit to his strength so long as he gets madder]

re…farrars (self-generated) role as a commentator…
..will this be compromised by his disastarous hulk over superman ‘call’…?
..it should be..!
..as it calls his whole judgement/analysis-process into question…
(the hulk beats superman..?..w.t.f.was he thinking..!
did he have a brain-freeze/meltdown..?….)
