I think either Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash work better as Superman than Applejack does, but I can also see why many people seem to think that Applejack as Superman works. So, this is all just my opinion, please don’t bash me for it. And if you like AJ as Superman better than Twilight or Rainbow Dash, than that’s okay, that’s your opinion, I respect your opinion.

That “app-el” tag is seriously my new favorite thing.

App-el is better :P

@Blackbewhite2k7  
Don’t forget AJ is not rolling in bits, and couldn’t afford all of batman’s tools and gadgets the way a famous pony, like say Dash, could. ^_-

Backgrounds being AJ and batman’s having that one thing in common (which several more fitting heroes have)*

@Dragonmage
 
Why can’t we ever have one picture of anything but without someone complaining about it?
 
Also,
 
Magic Lasso min power ponies
 
Strongest of the main six canonically (able to stop a a bus with her bare hooves in Mare Do Well)
 
Superman’s parents are dead too. (Literally the only thing in common in terms of their backgrounds)
 
Superman was raised on a farm
 
Has the humble, warm and inviting personality of Clark Kent.
 
etc.
 
But, you know…not like this artist or plenty of others like myself who felt contrary to you actually put effort into our work or anything, right?

Meh, AJ seems better as Batman: she’s got the history, more of the powerset in Power Ponies, and bats are everywhere at her place–which is on the outer edge of town.

Ponnyville is Smallville  
and  
Sweet apple farm is Kent farm  
and  
Canterlot is Metropolis  
and  
Twilight is a Batman  
and  
Sombra is Darkseid

I coined the name App-el, but your’s is good to.
 
On second not, I could’ve lost a foot today and seeing this would still have made my day perfect

Aple Gol’d: “You will give the ponies of Equestria an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the apple, Aple Jaek. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.”

is flipping out That is SO awesome! /)³(\
