No contest.
I just saw Batman: The Dark Knight. Lots of stunts, explosions, guns, cannons, fireballs, evil, knives, etc. And, in the Joker, a pretty diabolical bad guy. But for my dime, there's no way the Joker could have stood up to Popeye. OK, OK, Popeye might have had to have an extra can of spinach or two, but before long, the sailboat tattoo on his chest would turn into a battleship firing its guns and his corn cob pipe would spin like a propeller, sending Popeye into flight and the Joker would find his highly comical joking arse kicked to kingdom come.
Gorshk, Oliff. Ack ack ack ack ack. That would be a movie.
I have always been a big Popeye fan and am sure he would make a fine ad mascot..
