Rogue Jedi
Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger from the movie "Shooter", and the novels written by Stephen Hunter:

Versus Batman, any of the movie versions.

Same storyline as the movie Shooter, except it takes place in Gotham. Bob Lee Swagger is framed for shooting the Ethiopian archbishop, and is on the run trying to clear his name, and the Bat is called upon to bring him to justice.

Swagger escapes Gotham to his home state of Arkansas, and decides to make a stand there. He arms himself with a .50 caliber sniper rifle, H&K G36 assault rifle, as well as two .45 automatics as sidearms. He also has all the standard sniper gear: Ghille suits, claymores, the works.

Swagger positions himself atop a hill with a long twisting road as the only way to it's top as the Bat comes into the view, in the Batmobile, a thousand yards away, determined to bring him to justice.

I know, the Bat is the Bat, and Swagger is just another guy, but do your research on Swagger before rushing to judgement on this matchup.

Mairuzu
Haha, Batman

Mairuzu
I thought it was swagger vs deadshot

Rogue Jedi
Daedshot is not a movie character.

Mairuzu
He is in Gotham Knight!

Rogue Jedi
Is that a movie?

Mairuzu
Yea kinda

Rogue Jedi
well, another thread another time....How about this matchup?

Rogue Jedi
I should probably state that the road only leads so far, that Batman must exit his vehicle and pursue Swagger on foot at a certain point. Also that claymores have been placed at strategic locations throughout the woods, claymores that would shred the Bat if steps into their blast radius.

Scythe
Batman dismantles bombs, researches all types of shooting techniques as well as hand to hand combat, this is a cakewalk to Batman. Bob Lee is good, however if he's not sniping, he's fighting hand to hand. Something that Batman can sustain, however Batman's judgement to combat at close quarters is to restrain, it's what he does. From afar, Batarang around Bob Lee, he plops to the floor like a fish.

By this time, you'll probably pull a "Bob Lee waits for Bats with a millions firearms, snipes him, bombs him, burns him." Yeah, like Batman would walk into a trap. there's a reason why they call him the night as well as the knight. He uses the element of surprise as well as his cunning speed. I've seen Batman dupe snipers with his long flowing cape, they don't know what to shoot if his cape is flowing everywhere. He's even used scarecrow posts to confuse snipers, and after watching Batman Begins, it seems Bale's Batman is way deadlier since we just don't exactly know what sort of training he's gone through. We see his ninja training pointed out, but before that he ran with thieves and fought inmates for the hell of it.

Also you've made this alittle one-sided. The same could be said about Batman.

Swagger wants to take out the Bat for some reasons, Bats sends him an encoded message him to meet somewhere in the Batcave, Swagger is walking into an ambush. How's that fair? These Vs. threads are meant to be about equal rights, not "come get me".

Boe Lee can do more than sniping and hand to hand, did you not see shooter, or actually research him?

Boe Lee confused by a scarecrow post? Now thats just ludicrous.

Hey, Swagger is on the run, remember? Why would he come after the Bat? AND, isn't that what Batman does? Go after criminals?

This is a good matchup, good conditions, with both combatants utilizing the best of their talents. Btas armor, BTW, aint gonna help against a .50 caliber sniper round.

Never said Swagger would be confused by scarecrows, I said it's one of Batman's tactics.

I researched Swagger, even the crappy novels that were put out. I've read one of them and didn't really like it. The movie was great though, I loved it.

I just think Bats can overtake him.

Rogue Jedi
Just like that? "Bats can overtake him"?

Nah, to me, these Vs. threads are better off in an equal "I can see you" they'd have everything at their disposal but of equal amounts.

I have not, this is me adding my choice of who would win. Why would I let your words sway me otherwise? I believe Batman can blend into the shadows and become the night itself. He has thermal goggles, he works best in pitch black, I believe he can take this fight. Nothing can sway me otherwise, sorry.

Lets say the Bat is canny enough to avoid the sniper fire, AND claymores. You think Swagger is gonna MISS with his G-36? He will tear the Bat to pieces, plain and simple. And who said this fight is at night?



Tell me, what does the Bat do? At night, what does he busy himself with?

You're saying Batman would go after Swagger, he'd most likely go during the night, he's...ya know...Batman afterall.

Regardless, you've given the impression that you believe Swagger would win, I respect that, I don't agree with it, so I think Bats would win, stop trying to prove otherwise.

I don't even know what to makee of this question. I hope you know he's a comic/movie character.

"He just would, he's the Bat!!!" is WEAK.



The Bat hunts down and brings criminals to justice, he goes after them, correct?

I'm sure I've posted several ways Batman would win this. Element of surprise, restraining Swagger, outsmarting Swagger, I'm not a firm believer in "Yeah, Bats would do that, but Swagger WILL do this against him!!!zomg!!" That's your favorite tactic.

If you must rest easy than here's how things might possibly turn out. Batman knows Swagger is in AK, he has Alfred spot him from the Batcave via satellite. Alfred can do this, since it was featured in his fight with Deadshot which is an extension to Batman Begins. Since we're throwing in the novels Swagger was featured in, why not toss in Gotham Knight, since it was a movie, it was more than an hour long for god's sake.

So he has Alfred spot him, thermal detection can be utilized by Alfred as well as sonic waves, since Bale's Batman had the high frequency "bat ears" in Begins.

Keep in mind Batman is not a CHARGE RIGHT AT 'EM kind of man, he has more skill than that. Bat's visors can detect C4 or any other type of explosive, which he can disarm.

I might believe Swagger might get a shot on Bats, maybe not in the face since Batman tries to avoid that. He knows how to handle snipers.

One shot, and that gives away his location, even if he chooses a new location, it become a game of cat and mouse. Once Bats gets close enough, sniper rifles are useless, thus restraints come into play. Batman doesn't kill, this is something Batman DOESN'T do.

And well, that's it. Take it or leave it.

He doesn't exactly hunt them down, he does detective work, and more than often they come to him by dropping him hints, invitations and even straight up attacking him. If anything, most of the crime he encounters is spur of the moment. "looks what's going on over there" type of events.

The Dark Knight

Batman has sonar technology that gives him a 3D representation of his surroundings - e.g of the whole building he is in.

He also has other new tricks, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you guys who havent watched it.

Good game.

Exactly what I brought up, his Bat persona doesn't just stop at his image.

Yeah I know, whaa whaa Bats is gimped here, whaa whaa I dont wanna admit that Bat loses, but this is MORE than a fair matchup. Bat can TRY to avoid a face shot all he wants, fact is, Swagger specializes in head shots, whether its with a rifle, machine gun or pistol.

Bat can disarm explosives, sure, but claymores can be activated remotely, or didnt you know that? How is he gonna disarm it if Swagger sees him approaching, waits for the right moment, then BOOM?

If it gets up close and personal, Bat is finished. Google what a H&K G36 is and get back to me. Swagger will NOT miss up close and personal. If anything, he is even MORE deadly with a machine gun than he is sniping.

Cat and mouse? Dude, Watch shooter, I implore you. Cat and Mouse in Swaggers backyard, a game he excels at? Thats a hoot.


Bat can do all the homework on Swagger, but in this matchup Bat loses.

Good game. Does he have a gadget that can stop a .50 caliber sniper round? Or a hail of 7.62 mm rounds? Or a claymore?

Thought not. Dead Knight.

Ummm, okay... I don't know how you wish to prevail on achieving reconsideration by using demanding questions. It's a false logic in my eyes. By this time you must realize that an opinion has been cast and nothing other than high amounts of cash can ever pursuade it differently. At least for me. I recommend getting more formal with other people's opinions.

Rogue Jedi
Dodge.

Scythe
Batman wins. imo, i've described how....

Placidity
The way you're saying it Rogue, you would have us thinking that any trained special forces trooper could take Batman. And you know how bullshit that is.

Also, on a side note - Batman fights guys with guns (g36) upclose all the time.

He's hellbent on Swagger winning and changing the opinions of those who say otherwise, you won't get through to him.

jaden101
you've been playing far too much call of duty 4

Placidity
lol. Seems you are right. I did a little search and all the weapons he mentioned are indeed in CoD4. But they are pretty common weapons anyway.

Scythe
He just watched the movie...

and creepily knows alot about guns and artillary...

Placidity
G36 is a pretty common weapon. Although most special forces don't use it.

Its funny cause I was just watching Shooter last night. I'm pretty sure Swagger does use a .5 in the end. Don't think any other round could take out a limb with one shot like that.

On another note, that movie stole a few elements from the Bourne movies.

And why exactly doesn't Batman not just use some other way of getting there.

I'd assume he did.

But I guess, in your scenario, where you made Batman an idiot, Swagger might have a slight chance. In any other, Batman would take it easy.

For your next thread I'd propose this scenario: "Batman is strapped to a bench with no way of escaping. The guy you choose to be matched against him has a desert eagle in his hand pointing at Batman's exposed face. Who would win?"

You have a better chance with a pistol than a sniper against the batman

He took out a big ass assault chopper with a rifle, man, that speaks volumes for his skills.

Nah, you just want Batman to lose. He is certainly capable of such stunning feats. Swagger wouldn't stand a chance, in a scenario where Batman can scheme his approach.

Also, you really think Swagger would be prone to being snuck up on?

If the Bat attacks in his Jet, Swagger will merely shoot him out of the air, you have to remember he shot down a heavily armored attack chopper.

Swagger can make head shots from a thousand yards out, leading up to a mile. Up close and personal, whether it's with an assault rifle or pistols, he is even more deadly.

There is a particular part in the novel "Point of Impact" where Swagger takes on a small army of mercs while he is armed only with a bolt action sniper rifle. He takes them all out, and leading up to this battle, he escapes a house armed only with a .45, taking out several heavily armed mercs along the way, all headshots, while on the run.

Thing is, I am betting you have seen Shooter and not read the novels, ALL of the novels, and have only seen the tip of the iceberg when talking about what he is capable of.

Who's whining about anything? Your scenario sucks balls. Batman's a mental patient in your scenerio. You have this ho-hum sniper guy who was in one movie, armed to the teeth, thought of everything, and you have Batman...just down the road... Has to get out of his Batmobile and walk stupidly towards Swagger possibly going: "Potato!!! Rox-Rox!"

And even though we're telling you that Bats can still win in this scenerio you're not willing to accept it.

Look RJ, these Vs. threads are meant to have a scenerio, which you provided, then there needs to have input from posters saying who they think would win. They need to describe how the person they've chosen would win in their opinion and that's it, they post it. I highly doubt you have to go around arguing with everyone that "no, you chose the wrong guy, Bats has to lose"

If the Bat is as badass as you make him out to be, he wouldnt just walk towards Swagger, would he? Swagger wouldnt need that anyway, any man who can take out a small army of 125 men can easily give the Bat a good fight, and, possibly, defeat him.

But yeah, the movie version probably, still Batman would likely win, he is just better.

You really have no idea what it would take for him to get that close to Swagger, do you?



Sure, now you are going back to the usual "He's Batman!!!" tact.




As a marksman? As a specialist in close quarter firearm combat?



Thread conditions, B. Accept them or move on.



Because I am trying to prove a point here, that the Bat is a man, plain and simple, and, given the right conditions, he can be killed. I like Batman, dont get me wrong, I thought Batman Begins was amazing, but in this scenario, he loses.

Scythe
You can't start a thread where one contestant has no way of winning. That seems to me like you're just trying to prove a point, andt that would be borderline spamming.

"Hey guys, I'm fed up with people thinking Batman can do everything, I'm gonna start a thread where he has no chance of winning, it'll be hip and totally not foolish at all."

Tell me RJ, in your opinion, how can Batman win this at all?

If you reply with a: "He can't" I'm gonna laugh so hard because it'll only prove my point.

Bardock42

He took out the ****ing Hyperclan.

I can't think of him fighting an army at the moment though. Then again, he doesn't use assaults weapons, so he wouldn't be as effective against an army.

Tell me RJ, in your opinion, how can Batman win this at all?

If you reply with a: "He can't" I'm gonna laugh so hard because it'll only prove my point. prove my point. This thread is about Batman versus Bob Lee Swagger, both of them at full strength, both of them with all the tools of their trade.

It has Bob Lee doing what he does best, and the Bat doing what he does best.

Should the scenario be in Gotham, with Bob Lee armed only with a revolver like most of the other idiot villians? Would that meet your approval?

No, for this dumb thread to meet my approval it would take place in an equal location that's neither Swagger's liking nor Gotham City. They'd both be even, like, for whatever Swagger can dish out, Bats would have something to counter it. Then it would become a battle of wits, speed and so on. How can you say Batman doing what he does best when he never walks through the front door to confront a criminal.

He can do all the research he wants, but Swagger knows what the Bat is capable of, and he is gonna make the Bat come to him. A sniper has extreme patience, he will wait as long as it takes for the right shot. Wouldn't you, if on the run from the Bat, choose a battleground to your liking?

Look, in a scenario this laid out in favour of the person you want to win, I ask you, why, why the hell, should Batman even approach knowing of all those possibilities, and how do you think he would? Obviously the, "Driving up the only road with the batmobile, getting out and walking the last few yards in perfect view of a trained sniper" is not what he's going to do, so what is? And remember, it is Batman, one of the smartest and most skilled people in the DC universe.

Placidity
Well, in the comics he would have satellite intel on where Bob and he'll probably know about his background since he is a detective. Given his background, its not hard to guess Bob would try to snipe Bats. Batman would probably approach by plane and insert on the roof top of the structure Bob is in.

Realisticly, Bob would hear the plane and he would be ready, but he's already lost his advantage of long distance sniping. Bats would then cut the power (somehow) then get the drop on Bob.

In the movie though, Bat's hasn't shown that he has air insertion capabilities. I'm guessing that he would go in by Batmobile, which would have tech to detect explosives/ mines/what have you. His Batmobile can also go invisible, so Bob wouldn't even see him coming. Again, he might hear him when he drives closer to his position. But at that point, everything is in Batman's favour.

Swagger is an expert at counter Intel, so he will no doubt know everything the Bat will throw at him, just as the Bat will know what to expect of Swagger. One thing I am not familiar with, though, is how durable the Batmobile is, if it can stand up to a few claymore blasts.

He's wrong rubber masks to become your best friend while you have no clue your actual best friend is knocked out somewhere else. He knows his enemies by getting up close and personal, the he even knows how to throw his voice to confuse you and he can be beyond resourceful. This is why criminals are so afraid of Batman.

I don't think hands and legs as well as his cape and his usual Batarangs that EVERYONE knows he has can be documented. How do you document something that surprises you and sends a wave of fear through the crime community. They talk about Batman but they usually talk about how horrific their experience was. Seriously, even the JLA aren't allowed to know what he's up to, he keeps his secrets even from them.

Face it, Swagger is just a ho-hum sniper who has alot of training. Seriously, not a single person other than you has given this fight to Swagger, I think that's highly sending a message isn't it? Regardless, all you're doing is spewing nothingness. You're listing ways Swagger would win, we counter them, and you say something stupid like: "Well he has an answer to that!" The fact that you've included books, should very much seal the deal in Batman's favor, however all this is just in my opinion, you have all the right to your respected opinion, but at this point you seem like a religious-nut trying to convert others.

Because he is an expert at Sniping, hand to hand combat, close quarter small arms combat, explosives, counter intel, and is an all around badass, a trained killer. He took on an army of 125 men while armed with a bolt action rifle, FFS, and killed them all.

In this scenario, he is totally in his element, using all the tools of his trade, armed with a .50 cal rifle. The Bat has to come to him.

Even if the Bat avoids the sniper fire (which he wouldn't, Swagger would take his head off the moment he steps out of the Batmobile or Jet or whatever he uses), he still has to deal with the strategically placed claymores, and, IF he gets past those, he has to deal with Swagger having a full auto assault rifle, grenades and his sidearms.

You don't get to decide it's ok to defy forum criteria. This thread is about movie Swagger and movie Batman, cos it's a movie forum. I thought you'd have learned that the last time you tried to involve a book character.

Movie Batman, since you've so biasedly rigged it for Swagger (And everyone here still thinks you're mental for speaking such lunacy), just drives up to him in the Batmobile and runs him over.

The Batmobile is bulletproof, bombproof, you name it. That or he can get close enough that sniping isn't an option, drive past the claymores, then beat him hand-to-hand, which he obviously would do, since he has trained with far superior people.

There, if that's how Vs fights now go around here, let's just do it that way.

The Batmobile dealt with an urban scenario only, driving through a heavily dense forest is totally different. Besides, what's to keep Swagger from shooting out the tires? And yes, with a .50 cal rifle this is entirely feasible. If Swagger can take out a heavily armed attack chopper, the Batmobile would be like dealing with an annoying insect.

Yeah, and so would Swagger. See where this goes? The only thing he has going for him is sniping, and if they're in a forest, Batman isn't some terrorist that's going to be easy to hit. To that end, he could avoid the claymores by going through trees, and he more than likely has something to detect them, because he's not stupid enough to assume Swagger wouldn't have set up traps.

The Batmobile is like an agile, super-armed tank, it's not a Ford pick up.

How can you reasonably say it only dealt with an urban environment? It was driving over rooftops, through a cave etc. It's not like it was driving along a bumpy road and having trouble.

How has Mark Wahlberg gone from being someone who is really good with guns, to Robocop and The Terminator's love child? That's what I'm curious about.

Lemme ask, if you know enough about Swagger as you say you do, then you know Swagger would have no problem sniping the Bat as he "goes through the trees." A well placed round from his .50 cal sniper rifle, which he is very unlikely to miss with, and the Bat is done.

Swagger can make head shots from a mile out, hitting a moving target while it is much closer than that would be no problem for him.

A .50 cal sniper rifle strikes from a mile out with the velocity of a .44 magnum at point blank range, you telling me the Bat is gonna shrug that off?



The Batmobile is badass, I never said it wasn't, but a blast from a claymore would certainly do a bit of damage, not to mention if Swagger shoots out the tires, it's mobility will be severely hindered.

I never claimed Swagger was the love product of two cybernetic organisms, when did I say that?

Tell me, how well would the Bat's armor hold up to a .50 cal sniper round? Or a barrage of automatic gunfire? What you cant seem to realize is that Swagger does NOT miss.

I saw the movie, and I've never seen him snipe anybody that would give him as much a problem as Batman. So your counter is; "Nah, see, he'd hit him.". My whole point was that this is Batman we're talking about, not some random guy running through a forest. You're placing too much faith in his ability. This man takes our terrorists, Batman is a step above that.

No, you just said it wasn't able to cope with terrain in Arkansas, which is ridiculous. This Batmobile is made and manufactured by the highest level of militant technology, they have things in their possession that have never even gone into production because they're so advanced. Do you believe they will have done all that and then said "Ok mate, slap some Pirrellis on that badman and we're good to go."? No, I doubt that they've overlooked the fact that people will try to shoot the tires, but that's speculation. I'm not prepared to just agree he could shoot them out, for good reason, but I'm not in possession of any proof that he couldn't, and neither are you on your side of things.

He does not miss against terrorists, Batman's a bit different, RJ.

Like I said, though. Pointless thread, then. You obviously believe that barring Batman being in cover, Swagger would implicitly win with a one shot kill, if he doesn't ever miss. So why even ask who'd win? You know who you think would win, and you know you don't care what we think, since none of us can convince you otherwise.

This man takes our terrorists, Batman is a step above that. Someone who can make head shots from a mile out has no need for my faith in their abilities, the fact that they can make such a miraculous shot speaks volumes for their skills.


With Bob Lee's incredible marksmanship, yes, the Bat is essentially just another guy running through the woods.


I never said he was an easy hit, not to an average man he isn't, but Swagger is far from an ordinary man.



It's slang for Batman, I am not the only one here who calls him the Bat.

So Swagger, despite his incredible aim, will miss with his sniper rifle, with his G36, and with his .45's? All the while Batman is avoiding the claymores Swagger has placed around him? When did Batman go from being a badass to being a God?



So you have no proof that the Batmobiles tires can't be shot out? With such a high powered weapon? Thought not.



Yes, and I was joking right back at you, do try and read between the lines.



No doubt, but you seem to think Swagger has no chance whatsoever of hitting Batman at all, even with an assault rifle.

Not in this matchup, no, I cant be convinced Batman could win.

RJ, if I started a thread, stating Batman Vs. Swagger and include comics Batman against Shooter Swagger only (cuz I can so do that) and the fight had to take place in a narrow hole with a few trenches at the bottom where Batman lays in wait for Swagger to rope down carrying only a sniper rifle since he's good with that and maybe a knife, honestly who would win there? If I created such a thread, it would be considered spam don't ya think? What's that sayin' so far?

He's not, he's Batman. Batman isn't just another guy. If anything, Swagger is just another sniper to Batman.

So...you are saying it's an easy hit then? That's what I just said. You just attempted to dodge and then counter yourself, quite remarkable.

"You're saying it'd be an easy hit for Swagger, and implicitly, a one hit kill. So what's the point?", "I'm not saying it'd be an easy hit...not for a normal man, but Swagger isn't normal.". So, yes, what I said was right. You're saying Swagger would beat Batman easily with a one hit kill.

He didn't go FROM anything TO anything. There are people who have seen both characters movies and people who have seen them and not learned enough about the participants (Like you).

I never said he'd "miss" in the sense that he's a shit shot, I said he'd miss in the sense that Batman isn't an easy target. Swagger is one man, he's not a gundam. He can't use every gun at once. Batman, in a forest, could quite easily dodge his sniper abilities, or avoid them I should say. So Swagger would have to adapt to something less specific, and then Batman would beat him up and say "You're not Jason Bourne, you idiot.".

His Batmobile can also go invisible, so Bob wouldn't even see him coming. Again, he might hear him when he drives closer to his position. But at that point, everything is in Batman's favour.

This is what I mean about you being genuinely stupid sometimes. I tell you that you are suggesting and implying that he'd beat Batman with a one hit kill, since you've said it would be easy. You then reply saying "I never said it'd be an easy shot...for a normal man, but Swagger isn't normal.". Why didn't you just say "Yes, that's what I believe."? Why go in a circle because you just don't want to agree with me?

My claim: You are saying it'd be an easy shot (For Swagger, obviously, since we're discussing him).
You: No, not for a normal man, but for Swagger.
Me: So...yes, then? You are agreeing that my summation is correct?
You: Not for an average sniper, but for Swagger.

What's the point of all that? We're talking about Swagger, "Yes" would have sufficed, RJ.

I'm not, you're just interpreting what I say into very specific, ridiculous ways. I am not suggesting he'd sit there disarming bombs while taking a machine gun to the chest, am I? Who ever said anything about disarming anything? I said avoid. He can't use a sniper rifle if Batman gets close.

So then you say "He has an assault rifle.", so? So have the people he has fought in movies. "But they aren't Swagger!", again, so? Sniping is a special ability, using a machine gun isn't. His accuracy as a sniper wouldn't make a bit of difference with a machine gun. People with machine guns have been defeated by Batman before, Swagger is no different. So this comes down to you placing faith in his ability to kill Batman with one shot from a sniper rifle, in a forest. I don't think I need to go into how ridiculous that is.

Bobby hasn't taken any impressive shots in the movie that would help him beat Bats anyway IMO.

At the start, he takes out a few soldiers while they were moving in a truck. The thing is that they weren't aware of a sniper present. Batman would know.

From such a far distance, the bullet would take perhaps over a second to travel to its target. So, in a scenario which has its target moving, a sniper would have to shoot ahead of the target, to where he predicts the target would be in the next moment. Running around in an unpredictable manner (random zig zags) is one way of avoiding being hit.

Every other shot he has made in the film has been on mostly stationary targets, which Batman would not be.

Anyway, like I said earlier. Batman would be in his invisible batmobile probably with landmine detection tech, which renders both his claymores and sniper shots a non-factor. Not that he would even see him coming.

Not to mention the fact that sound travels fast, Batman could hear the shot ring out and his reflexes would tell him to do a simple command. Somethng as simple as ducking ya know? To a normal man, the shot of a bullet firing would mean they should duck, they'd probably still get hit, since average reflexes probably won't be enough, but Batman's reflexes are on a different level.

Actually, I believe most (probably all) .50 rounds travel at supersonic speeds. So if you were relying on hearing, you would get shot before the sound waves reached you. stick out tongue

But, given this is done at night, muzzle flash would alert any observant target to shots being fired aswell as give away the position of the sniper.

Oh no, I meant for average firearms, not the sniper rifles, the sniper rifles can be easily dealt with due to him being in a freakin' forest setting, haha.

Not that he would even see him coming. Actually, from a mile out, it is stated that there is a six to seven second flight time, and that even the spin of the earth comes into play. For Bob Lee to know this means he can adjust to it, that he can make a shot like that with ease.....not to mention he actually DOES it in the movies.

The Bat can zig zag all he wants, eventually one of Swagger's shots will find it's mark. And if for some reason Swagger misses, he has his G36 to fall back on, and I'd like to see the Bat dodge a hail of rapid fire lead from such a marksman as Bob Lee. Not gonna happen.

So the Batmobile had explosive detectors, so what? Bob Lee will be able to detonate the claymores when he sees fit, it's not like he is gonna leave an open spot for the Bat to drive through. It's not like he will say "You know, I am gonna leave this spot open just for the hell of it."

I said his Batmobile is invisible. Bobby won't even know when he is coming.

You can't shoot a target (from a far distance) if you can't predict where he'd be in the next moment.

And theres no way Bobby can make a mile shot on a randomly moving target.

Batman is also wearing armour that will resist 5.56mm from the G36.

You want it in plain english? To an average sniper, Batman is a difficult, almost impossible shot. To Bob Lee, nailing Batman with a sniper rifle would be far less of a chore. Not a certain thing, but, unless Batman is lucky as hell, Bob Lee should be able to end this with a well placed head shot.



You take what I say too literally, you know damn well thats what I meant, "Trained in the art of Ninja."



Yes, this is where Bob Lee's sniper training takes over. He places the claymores at strategic locations, knowing Batman will have the technology to avoid them, right? Makes all the sense in the world that he will make Batman take a certain route to get to him, doesn't it?

And so what if others have had assault rifles using them on Batman? Who? Someone with Swaggers training? Someone who is as deadly as he is? Someone with his marksmanship skills?

Oh my goodness.

Yes, that's what I've been saying, are you that dense or are you just trying to weasel? I proposed that your argument was that it was an easy shot for Swagger, you replied "Not an easy shot...for a normal man, but for Swagger.", who the hell mentioned a normal man? Why say "I never said it was an easy shot."? You did.

I'll run it by you again:

Me: You're saying it'd be an easy shot for Swagger, therefore a one hit kill.
You: I never said it was an easy shot (Disagreeing with me), for a normal man (Who brought the normal man into it?), but for Swagger isn't normal (So you imply that yes, it would be an easy shot, which was my initial summation of your argument, which you then disagreed and agreed with).

So it's either an easy shot for Swagger or it's not. You've said it is, you've said it isn't. We're not talking about a normal man, would Batman be an easy shot for Swagger or not? Because with that rifle, it'd be a one hit kill, so think about how far you're willing to go.

I don't expect a straight answer for at least a few pages, but it would be nice; easy shot for Swagger or not?

Not really, the only thing guaranteed about Batman is that he would get around them, or avoid them. There's no set way he would.

You fall into another trap also; you claim Swagger would know everything there is to know about Batman, right? If that's true, he'd not make the amateur mistake of thinking that such simplistic planning could thwart Batman. He hasn't done anything in the movies that suggests he could win this fight.

Marksmanship goes out the window with an assault rifle at close range, you either hit your target or you don't. There's only so good you can be with that kind of weapon.

The problem with that, Scythe, is that you get people who feel they can argue for their chosen character simply because they get ideas.

Like in the Comic Vs forum, the Storm Vs Dr. Doom thread went on for about 200 pages, despite the obvious, sensible and logical conclusion being Dr. Doom. That's when freedom of speech is abused, instead of just saying to the Storm fans, "No, you're quite obviously wrong, end of thread." and closing it, they allow them a podium.

No, I am the only one who can actually accept that Batman can be defeated by a normal man, albeit a normal man with unbelievable training.



Probably not an "easy" shot from such a distance, but Batman has to get close enough to Swagger to subdue him, yes? So let's say Swagger opens fire as Batman is 1000 yards out. 900 yards. 800 yards. 700 yards. The Bat is closing. 600, then 500 yards. 400 yards, 300 yards......Eventually Batman is going to be close enough to Swagger where the report of the rifle will no longer warn Batman when a shot has been fired, Scythe raised a good point earlier on how if Swagger shoots a mile away, on how Batman will hear the report of the shot and be able to drop and roll, avoid the fire.

But he is also ignoring the laws of physics, the bullet arrives at the target BEFORE the sound of the shot is heard. A bullet travels much faster than the speed of sound. So really the Bat will have NO warning of the shots approaching him. And the closer he gets, the easier of a target he becomes.






And who has Batman fought in the movies that is close to Swagger as far as being a perfectly trained killing machine? with his hands, knives, rifle, pistol, machine gun?

Dodging, dodging, dodging.

For one thing, he doesn't have to get close on foot. Secondly, he doesn't need to hear the shots, Swagger however, has to make them. Nobody here is silly enough to believe he can with Batman being a constant moving target, in a forest.

So it's obviously not an easy shot, therefore, not as easy as you once made it out to be.

Right back at you; what has Swagger done, who has he fought, that suggests he can do all this? Movies, remember. Nothing, shot some stationary targets, a few moving ones who didn't know he was there.

That you dodged my original question. Answer my question; considering who made it, the technology available and the geniuses behind it, do you not think that it's very possible they would have considered that someone might try shooting the tires, and done something about that?

Yes or no? I'm not saying the Batmobile has them, I'm asking if all things considered, you're willing to write that possibility off.
