Batman VS Spiderman
By: Sarah
I surveyed Mr.
Shafer’s class
and Spiderman
won with a
score of 8Spiderman and
6-Batman. I
personally thought Batman would win because I like Batman better. I talked to some of the people who like Batman
and Spiderman. For Spiderman, I started by talking to Ciara Cerchiaro she likes Spiderman, because he can shoot
webs out of his fingers and he’s awesome. For Batman’s
side, I chose Danny to say why he picked Batman. He said
he liked Batman because he is rich, doesn’t kill, and he is
awesome.
