Is Buffy better than Batman? OH NOES, I say! RedEye's "Best Superhero" Tourney is down to the Elite Eight. This past week the Sweet Sixteen matched up The Batman vs. The Vampire Slayer. Not only did Buffy take down the Dark Knight, but she did so fairly significantly...37.7% to 62.3%. With 6276 total responses to this pair, more than any other match up in the Sweet Sixteen, the Buffy fanboys & girls were making a statement.

I'm shocked by this. Considering that the most anticipated movie of the summer starring Batman opens this weekend, I would have thought most people had the winged crusader on the brain. But, then again maybe thats just me!

Does this victory say something about the mighty Joss Whedon? He did just launch his new webseries this week, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Is he the comic master? Does Joss trump DC?

Now, Buffy is matched up against Silver Surfer. Well, if she beat Batman, I would think she'll win this round as well. Go cast your vote.
