Not everyone can be Batman, especially because Batman has the power to be filthy rich. Money essentially buys him superpowers.

Izuku was originally intended to be a normal guy trying to be a hero, but that was dropped because of the power scaling. Because he's a 15 year old boy and not a millionaire with martial arts training or advanced technology, he would be frequently relying on coincidences, plot armor and luck to stand a chance, and otherwise would be always in a support role as he wouldn't be able to catch up with the growth of others. The author feared he would be extremely lame and overshadowed because of that.

Would be an interesting concept, but hard to execute as the series went on and crazier powers started showing. The author preferred to shift the focus to the relationship between izuku and All Might.

You could argue that some series execute stuff better, but many of those series can end up destroying their own execution down the line. Naruto and Bleach are big offenders of this. Even Dragon Ball did it, as it build up Gohan to be the protagonist after the Cell arc, but went back to Goku.

And, quite frankly, there's no point in comparing. MHA does his own stuff well, and even if you think other series do it better, it doesn't really affect the quality of this one.
