Superhero Smartphone Squabbles

Heroes Compare Cell Phone Technology at the Super Cafe

In 'Super Cafe: Bat Phone,' the newest video from How It Should Have Ended, Batman and Superman debate which of their smartphones is the best -- the iPhone 4S or the Bat Phone.

This animated short features the two infamous superheros siting across from each other at the The Super Cafe; arguing about whose smartphone has better features. Despite Superman's iPhone being portrayed as the more practical choice in the video, the Bat Phone wins serious points just for being super awesome. Batman rebuffs all of Superman's arguments by simply saying that his phone is better because, "it's a Bat Phone."

Daniel Baxter is the main creative mind behind the How It Should Have Ended website, which features homages to major motion pictures, television shows and comics.

The 'Bat Phone' video is just one installment of his Super Cafe series that shows superheroes having conversations about technology and life.
