I know this is a meme... buuuuuuut the halberd is a specialized weapon that excels in its role and almost no where else. The spear, however, is versatile and useful in most combat situations.
Obviously the Poleaxe is the superior weapon.

Okay I'll bite: so just what is that role? When do I need to poke and axe?
Poke horse so it doesn't run into you
Hook rider to drag him off the horse, or at least control his movement
Axe rider when he's vulnerable
This is a billhook. It hooks Bill.
Bill here... GD it, hooked again.
If you think about it, a halberd is just a defective, meaty trebuchet
Plucks Yew.
That's just miniature spears with a fancy propelling mechanism! More proof long stick with pointy end is the superior weapon!
So what you're saying is it's not the size of the spear but it's how you thrust it?
