If Batman never regained his mobility after getting his back broken, which one of these characters could take over, and do just as good of a job in Gotham, or perhaps even better?

Black Panther
Deadpool
Captain America
The Punisher
Daredevil
Elektra
Wolverine
Nick Fury
Black Widow
Silver Sable

celestialdemon
Out of this group, I'd probably go with Silver Sable.

zopzop
The person would have to :
a) Have a high IQ (Batman is basically an ace detective and genius)
b) Be an expert in the martial arts
c) Have a vast fortune to rely upon to build his gadgets/machines/HQ

Only person on that list that ticks off all those stips is Black Panther.

cdtm
Dr. Who.

Off the list.... Deadpool, probably.

d) Know how the criminal element thinks, especially the crazy ones.

Deadpool.

Black Panther is the only person on that list that have the versatility both mind and body to take Batman place. The rest would fail.

The only problem with Black Panther is he should have way too much on his plate running his country.

MF DELPH
He could always just deploy his elite guard to kill Batman's rogues and institute martial law in Gotham on his behalf. Batman has Robin & Co. T'challa has his sister, the Dora Milaje, and a hi-tech military. Plus he always finds time for Avenger's business and the Illuminati.

yaadaveyaa
with the punisher's training id take him (does he have to keep up with batmans standards no guns and no killing thing?) and cap could easily succeed here he has a ton of tactical knowledge as well as better combat skills then bats, maybe not enough of an iq but he could mesh well

MF DELPH
Not sure about that. Part of Batman's work involves his investigative and scientific know how. Frank and Steve are lacking in that department. They're not going to be able to formulate cures for Joker Toxins within an hour.

Yep. They would fail, hard.

Decimus
Probably T'Challa but he Joker would reject him and Bruce would have to come back

Khazra Reborn
Punisher would just kill everyone inside of a week. Obviously, Batman's code would be absolutely laughable to him.

MF DELPH
T'challa would likely kill Joker. Some of Batman's villains are just petty thieves and thugs plotting for money and power so not killing them is somewhat reasonable (Two Face or Penguin, for example). Joker's just an insane homicidal anarchist. He'd get beheaded.

In some minutes Batman created a poison that was strong enough to knock Konvikt flat on his face, the same Konvikt that took on and defeated (70%) the JLA and one shot koed Superman (along with taken on both Superman and Diana at the same time). If you are taking Batman place, fighting skills isn't the only thing that is needed for his role. The ONLY person on that list that can replicate the ft that I just brought up (this doesn't include his other JLA fts as well that pushed the team through) is Panther, the rest isn't even debatable.

So he can replicate Batman intellect fts? I would LOVE to see scans of this.

He could imo where he lack some stuff he would't let people keep killing innocent people

Black Panther

Frank is the mother phucking Punisher, he can kill whatever he wants.

But he would be responsible for the destruction of Earth. Remember, Batman was one of the main reasons (minus Superman of course) the shadow moon didn't collide with Earth. So not only would Gotham have been destroyed during this, the planet would have died as well. I'm trying to figure out why you are clinging to Deathstroke when Batman has aided in saving the entire planet with his mind alone, along with saving the JLA.

Lol...no prob. I was trying to figure out why you responded to that post but I just went with the flow. Didn't want to call you out.

They won't do as good a job as Black Panther

Genius - check
Resources - check
Fighting Skill - check
Physical Attributes - check + (should be faster/stronger)
Good Leader - check + (lead his own country)

He IS Batman.

Panther is the only correct answer. If you were to choose people that weren't on the list, alot more names come to mind.

It would be fun to see Spider-man in Gotham. But he lacks detective skills. And a few billion dollars...

I can see Spiderman filling those shoes though. He have everything Batman have (besides the money) along with a physical advantage.

Deathstroke abilites read as enchanced intellect and master tactican and strategist so add those abilites to Batman's writing he would do great.

maxivitopowe
anyone could do it

Sigh, SMH. Lol...it doesn't work like that. That's like saying "Deathstroke mind has been enhance. With that said, he can perform all the fts Reed Richards has done". Provide some scans backing your case Golem. Dang.

Writers determine what level they want to portraying their characters so they could portray Deathstroke as smart as Batman. If you put them tale together In a comparison in all categories they would be very close.

Prove it.

Superman going from Jumping and being able to fly. Thing starting off at 5 tons and now being in the 85-100 ton range. Juggernaut classic version to being less powerful now. Odin having trouble dropping Thanos to being able to fight Galactus level beings. Venom being originally only being 700lbs stronger then Spider-Man to being able to stand against Juggernaut Ghost Rider and others. Beyonder being the maybe the most powerful being in marvel to losing to Kubik.

Lol...WTF. So you are saying that I can make an argument with someone like Gwen Stacey being able to replicate Batman fts. Do you think Deathstroke is as smart as Reed Richards? Can you also explain your answer.

golem370
I don't think Batman is as smart as Reed Richards and I think writers could make DS just as smart as Batman. I think Deathstroke based on what I have read on here is like the Evil version of Batman but with better physical attributes.

Mindset
BP is the obvious choice.

golem370
As far as Good Guys Mindset I think as Bad guys go DS, Green Goblin and a couple others would do good as well.

The question in this thread isn't "who the writer could make as smart as Batman" because the obvious answer would be "anyone". You are clearly admitting Deathstroke isn't a good choice for this thread so let's move on.

Sorry was away all day. To answer this question, none of them change their tactics, they operate in character.

Daredevil has the scared villlain shtick better the others. Moon knight?

Any of them would be able to take his place. Not replace him. Batman and Gotham are almost one character.

He IS Batman. Carver, if you speak such blasphemy again, I'll be on my way to Georgia.

The Bada went down to Geogia, he was looking for a Carver to kill.
He was outta his mind 'cos he was way behind his murders for a thrill.

When he came across this young man besmirching the Batgod.
The Bada jumped in Carver's face and said dude, I am LiZod!

I guess you didn't know this but I'm a Batman fan too.
And if you'd dare besmirch Batman I'll make a bet with you.
Now you debate the Hulk good but give the Raptor his due.
I'll bet I can rip your soul out your mouth and stomp your face with my shoe.

The dude said "My name's Carver and I just can't win. I decline your bet, I won't forget you're the best Raptor that's ever been.

Fire on the mountain, run Carver, run.
The Raptor's in the house of the risin' sun.

the Darkone
Black Panther
Captain America
Deathstroke

these guys will just heck even better IMHO

This was amazing. I'm saving this.

DC's best bet would be Dick but they are very different at their core

Lex could make a cool Batman for an event.

Marvel's best bet is probably Bucky or Moon Knight though a Ghost Rider written down to that level wouldnt be the worst thing in the world.

Golgo13
Paladin.

Sick rhymes

And Spidey would be the best bet

Agent Venom as well

At first I was thinking black panther... But the answer for me is daredevil.

When I compare black panther against daredevil
Fighting skills? Training? Both are high level fighters... But daredevil has shown himself to be a master ninja which is more what batman is.
Secret identities: everyone knows the king of wakanda is the black panther... Dude can't hold a secret... Matt walks the day as a lawyer and night as a vigilante... Edge daredevil.
Fear factor: the people of Hell's Kitchen have legitimate fear of daredevil.
Arch nemesis? Black panther deals with nations and geopolitical stuff more akin to what namor deals with... Daredevils kingpin to the joker... Crazy homicidal foes like Typhoid Mary vs the joker... The hand vs ras al ghul and his people... Seems a lot more similar villains...
Intelligence... Well the edge likely goes to black panther because of his gadgets and things he's done... But daredevil is similar to Spider-Man in untapped potential... He is a successful lawyer defending even super heroes like the fantastic four during the day while fighting crime at night. He has little resources but is able to perform his own detective work with what little he has... With a billion dollars backing him he could be better but the edge currently has to go to the king...

The most important factor... Both batman and daredevil has a very similar ability... The ability to bed gorgeous women and the ability to hook up with the villains that also want to kill you. For the cat women of batman daredevil has Electra and so forth...

Pimp daddy daredevil wins.
