Thanks. The way I look at it there is a check list that make Bond and Batman the same. Crazy awesome car... check, normal man.. check, fights criminals... check, has rocky relationships with the opposite sex... check, high speed chases, crazy fights and often captured and escaped... check.
To me it seems the only difference between a superhero and a super agent is that one wears a "costume". You can't even say the alternate identity is a differentiating factor. They both have aliases and unknown pasts to the general public.
With the costume though we can't use that as a defining character of a superhero. There are superheros that wear no costumes. The Hulk, Swamp Thing, Hellboy and a whole list of others.
If they're not in the same category then we have to figure out differences and I'm not coming up with much.
