Storm Shadow (GI Joe) versus Batman (TDK version). Batman is trying to apprehend SS, not kill him. SS doesn't give a **** and will just as soon kill Batman.


Storm Shadow has his twin swords, no guns. Batman has the Batsuit from TDK, and all his gadgets.

The fight takes place in an octagon style training arena, in the pouring down rain.

Durh to the death.

I actually think Storm Shadow could pull out a pretty easy victory here. He had some rather insane showings.

Batman had a few himself haermm

he watched G.I. Joe

Mhm. Then I rewatched TDK last night and realized this was a good matchup.

And for the record, I am leaning towards the Bat. Ninja on ninja, one in armor.

G.I. Joe Ninjas>>>>>>>Batman-verse Ninjas.

Yes, but what about Batman?

Batman is a Batman-verse ninja with a kevlar body suit, gadgets, and billions of dollars. That's the only difference between him and the others. Well, he was a bit better than them, I remember him fighting 3 at once in the first movie.

Still, he doesn't compare to Storm Shadow.

agreed

Yeah, Bats has some good feats, but the problem with TDK is its firmly rooted in reality, which means a lot of the more surreal, and thus higher tiered, feats that Storm Shadow can utilize thanks to his verse outshine the Bat feats...though if this were done in the comic forum, I'd say Bat-Kick ftw.

agreed Aw, look at Bruce using smilies, who's a big boy?

Tell me, so you think Bat has no chance here?

Just about every version of the ninja twins is over the top. In the original cartoon network GI Joe toon, Storn Shadow punched and kicked an Abrams a few times, and it fell apart.

And every cartoon/comic after that they've just been beastly. They were toned down a lot in the film, but they're still what random movie ninjas wish they could be.

The way I see it, SS has gotta get a bit close to Batman to exploit the weaknesses in his armor. Batman will likely use his gauntlets to block, and those little star thingies that shoot from his wrist, and when he gets in close on SS, he'll bust him up.

IMO, thats all.

League of Assassins> G.I. Joe Ninjas


Thus Batman wins!

This might help:



AlI9-3w7-qs

*does not help*

Batman still wins.

I agree, I was just providing a visual.

I know you were...but you know me...always gotta go double kill.

Gonna be fun to read the Storm Shadow supporters arguments here.

So, based on your response, it's safe to say that you are not a Batman fanboy?

And this whole time, you were being accused of one because of the Batman McClane thread..

The accusers have been pwned by you, I say.



However, I'm still a Preston fanboy.

My turn crylaugh with a side of lulface

Not only does Baleman go down hard to movie Storm Shadow, but comic Bats would lose to comic Storm Shadow as well.

However Anthology Movie Batman would school movie Storm Shadow.

Wait, you think Anthology Batman is a better fighter than Bale Batman?

oh no doubt about it I love Batman, have since I was 4 years old, but in this particular instance I don't see Bale Batman winning even though I could make a tremendous argument..

Yeah I also love Preston as well and i may be changing my name in May to coincide with someone returning

Movie Bale may lose to Movie Storm Shadow , but I whole heartedly disagree with comic book Batman losing to comic book Storm Shadow, but we can debate that if someone makes a thread about it in the comic book v. forum

Its not a matter of think. Anthology Batman blocks bullets, punches threw metal, head butts threw aicraft glass, can lay out half a dozen machine gun armed men standing in front of him in a straight fight, walks off plane crashes, doesn't rely to heavily on a single method of fighting et etc. In other words he is faster, stronger, tougher and a better/more versital fighter.

In a word Yes. He is better. Frankly Anthology Robin would have a good chance at taking out Baleman.

Laugh all you want Rogue or present some evidence in favor of Baleman. Either in this thread or start another if you feel the inclination.

From a feats perspective, Nightstick is correct. Even though I've argued otherwise simply because I much prefer the less comic/fantasy approach the reboot takes.

Doesn't compare to the fighting comic-cheese that Batman laid in movies 1-4. Keaton's a vicious slugger, Kilmer's a Kung Fu bad-ass and Clooney likes young men in tights.

Still enough to take out SS.

Storm Shadow would work Bale-Batman, just as Snake Eyes would.

He's prepared to go though, after he cuts off Batman's head.

You insane? Asian can throw multiple throwing stars with pinpoint precision. The open face and even the joints would be easy targets for Storm Shadow.

That's not going t serve him when he has a sword through the face.

And none of Batmans weaponry works here? Batarangs, the projectile weapons on his gauntlets?

They do. Still isn't going to stop him from eating steel.

Do you think Snake Eyes could beat Batman in this same scenario?

SS rushes in to decap Batman, Batman triggers his wrist gauntlet knives, I dont see SS blocking them. And if he dodges, thats the distraction Batman needs to go CQC on his emo ass.

I think SE would have to go with his Tonfas to do in Batman.

You're scripting.

Here, let me put it in a language you can easily understand. Storm Shadow = "magic spells!".

Snake Eyes could be Batman with his his closed. Remember, this is based on movie feats, not which movie was great and which movie sucked ass.

It's merely a more detailed way of showing how a fight can possibly go. It's like if I say "Hey, Preston can do Gun kata on Wesley Gibson", then you say "Nah, Gibson can shoot bullets out of the air", then me saying "Gibson cannot shoot rapid fire gunfire out of the air."

Same thing.

So in TDK he blocked bullets? Odd I don't remember that and in TDK he punched threw metal? Odd don't remember that either. Wait you mean he walked off plane wrecks? No actually I don't remember that either. Oh know i've got it you mean he used more then basic KFM in his fights, no that didn't happen either. Nor did he take groups of armed men head on.

So, what part of TDK are you referencing as feats/evidence. I'm assuming none as you didn't post any before and likely have none to post period.

In what way? The actor playing Storm Shadow. Was far more technicaly proficient in terms of moves and the execuction their of and while the choreography in G.I Joe left something to be desired it was still watchable unlike the crap in TDK. Further it not like Baleman met with greater success in melee combat.

So while skill is some what subjective. I ask again how was Baleman a better h2h combatant? He was not as techinaley proficient/trained nor was he more succesfull in regards to fighting h2h.

I referred to the TDK version only because of the armor, Batman is faster and can move easier than in BB. I seriously doubt that his fighting skills somehow deteriorated in the time period between BB and TDK.

Point being, in BB, yes, he took on ninja after ninja and pwned them all.

But since I referred to TDK Batman, I guess I can't use BB feats. Even though it stands to reason that anything he did in BB he can do even better in TDK.

He did take on the accountants men head on in TDK, and the thugs in the nightclub.

I would suspect his fighting ability to have increased between the films. Not that it matters much because as Anthology Bats still has him beat in the skill department. Capable of incorperate multiple styles and forms into a single encounter and proven to be more effect in a straight fight with large groups.

His suit may allow for better speed in TDk then in BB, but he has still not demonstrated the reaction time needed to block bullets after they are fired.

The most I recall him squaring off with in a head on fight was 3. Anthology Batman can win a head on fight with six guys all pointing submachine guns at him.

Didn't he cut the lights and ambush the accountents men. Thugs in the nightclub? Remind me what scene you are refering to?

Why are we discussing Anthology Batman and blocking bullets?

Yeah, six guys who were, from what I remember, absolute shit.

Good.

Yeah. The nightclub scene where he apprehends Eric Roberts.

If you look at the Batman fight scenes, then look at Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes take down random goons, and fight each other, it's clear they're out of Batman's league in the speed/skill department.

And dogs bit through Batman's armor in TDK, I doubt SS will have trouble getting through it.

The dog bit through the arm.

Compared with how he fought, I don't think there's any debate, SS has him beat.

And if dog teeth can get through the arm, a sword can.

Also, Duke totally had the drop on SS, if the Baroness hadn't intervened, Duke would have gunned him down.

Well. Because we have gotten off on a discusion of Anthology Batman vs Baleman. So its seems pertinent to that conversation that Anthology Batman blocks bullets. Meaning he is way faster then Baleman in terms of reaction time.

No worse then the gun toting goons, that Baleman has to sneak around to take out.
