ok but consider: batman can feel like he earned his fighting ability the hard way through effort, superman's were a gift from his parents

if we wanna dig into the emotional realities of the characters I still sympathise more with Supes for being a literal alien and having to suppress himself to function amongst humans who both need him & are deeply suspicious of him. Bruce has work/life separation, can walk away

Batman inherited significant wealth when his parents died, freeing him from the obligations they imposed. Win-win, he just needs therapy
Idk batman owes a lot to his parents. The main reason I didn't wanna be superman was it seemed like the sin of pride
