Superman vs Batman, a rivalry only enjoyed by Batman fans.

That's... not what being an underdog means.

If someone took bets everytime Superman and Batman clashed in the comics, do you really think betting on Superman would earn you money nine times out of ten? Cause that is what an underdog is- the side of the fight you normally lose money betting on. The guy with the lower odds of winning.

Superman has won most fights with Batman in the comics. At least the mainline ones.

Superman wins most of the time, but they're usually such uneventful occasions. When Batman wins, it's supposed to be a "WOW!" moment.

Your bookie wouldn't give Superman 1:1 odds, though. Most stories present Superman as this overwhelming challenge to overcome that the guys (usually bad at math) who write these stories would tell you Batman's chances of winning appear to be microscopic but have Batman win anyway. So if you bet on 10 Superman/Batman fights, without knowledge that the writers often come up with silly scenarios for Batman to win, you might win 9 of those bets but you're not going to make money.


Sorry, got this predictive analytics exam coming up next week and I've got math on my mind...
