Who would win?
Batman is meant to be taken spr srsly as being this undefeatable monster that can strongarm (rather than outmanuever) anyone, despite being a normal human; by comparison, squirrel girl is notably strong to begin with, and not meant to be taken seriously, and typically gets by through a luck factor or her friends, rather than "I am badass, hear me roar". :P
She's a far better character than most portrayals of Batman or Superman or Wolverine or so forth;
Though that mostly is an issue of most mainstream comic writers being total hacks that only know how to write "me so strong" characters [nevermind how each time a NOT AAA-class character gets shuffled around to a new writer, they get more and more abused. Poor Gambit.. ].
Take the song Superman by Five for Fighting- now that's the Superman I want to see.
Instead, we get the erratic, thick-headed emo kid from Smallville, and the "I am an iconic symbol, I have no flaws" mainstream comic character.
Of course,mainstream portrayal is one thing- each of the characters have had moments where they've been with writers that have let the characters shine.
Here's Superman at his best.

Let's see. I don't really know much about it, but if someone talks about a 'fanboy' to me I just think of someone who is REALLY REALLY into something and wants to know all about it. One of those people that you can ask anything about what they fanboy over and they will have the answer. Someone that will be on those forums discussing about what might happen next etc.
I myself don't really fanboy over anything, so sad I know, I generally just let things come and see how they are once they're here :)

The absolute argument has always been this.
"Who will win? Batman or Superman?"
But the answer doesn't matter at all. Whatever side you choose, you get called a troll if someone chooses otherwise, and a fanboy if you defend your stance with facts. Its kinda messed up, because all debates in matters like this one ALWAYS end with everyone pulling their daggers out, ready to gut the other in the throat.
But that discussion can be tabled for another time. I brought this up simply because of how people use the word "fanboy" so rampantly to reduce credibility in a person's arguments, as if its the equivalent of a teacher's pet; that it always clouds said person's judgement. Its bloody ridiculous.
So let's start from the beginning. What, in your opinion, is a fanboy? Is it a person who is obsessed over something so much that he isn't willing to accept that people can hate on it? Or is it something else?
And tell you what, let's go one step further. What do YOU fanboy over?
Oh, and grab some gibs.
