Legions getting rebooted constantly, and this is just playing at the mainstream characters finally noticing that.

yeah,but in my understanding i don't think this karate kid is same as countdown karate kid,who had been easily almost wreckaged batman even he have disease constantly weaken him.
but according john's explanations,that should be a parallel version of karate kid separate from batman foreward encounter in countdown.so my understanding is batman could battle a comparison weaker version of karate kid

really.
ok, so i've read some legion though am no expert. i wonder how many have actually READ legion. this is directed at those who have and actually know the character--who has val defeated that is so impressive? i've seen plenty of generic fights, some he is challenged, others not. he has some cool high feats but different versions have different feats. i see loads of stomps for kk and as usual no feats on display. it's basically the same thing that gets parroted across forums any time his name is brought up. you want me to agree kk stomps these guys, then show me something. kk fights kryptonians. so? bats fights wonder woman. beats grundy. fights amazo. deathstroke beats flash. i could go on and on. show me some stuff about kk that truly sets him apart from the highest ma guys in either universe and i will happily concede. i'm not talking about one-off high feats. show him beating people of worth and tell me what version it is. otherwise the kk hype is simply that.
He could have no wins at all, and he'd still stomp streets, because of the fact when he's trading blows with Zoom, it ain't PIS.
Not when his iniitiation from day one was having zero powers, yet being so fast Pre Crisis Superboy was amazed at his speed.
Same deal with the least impressive version of Val, Thesboot, who Batman drew against. He held his own against Ultra Speed, and punched away a hill of ice and snow.
He doesn't really need to beat Superman, to say Dardevil isn't touching him. Legitimately holding his own, on his level, is more then good enough.
That's not to say he doesn't have impressive wins.. He absolutely does. Val outright defeated Pre Crisis Superboy and a Legion contingent in his series, for example. He beat most of the Fatal Five, including KO'ing Persuader, who's a pretty tough brick in his own right.
More recently, he chopped off the arm of that cyborg guy Superman struggled with, and broke his knee caps. Equus, I think.

Countdown and Threeboot are two different Val's, yes. They're both Karate Kid, from different reboots of the franchise.
Johns had the idea of retconning the reboots, as the multiple incarnations co-existing, is all. If Pre Crisis DC was revealed as a separate Earth, and Post Crisis DC was a different universe, New52 was another universe, and all three DC's had an adventure together, it would be the same concept
But the feats from each individual reboot should still apply.

we could always play a game. you or someone post a scan of kk doing something (pre crisis nonsense not included) and i'll take the field and we'll go scan for scan. show kk doing something, and i'll show anyone from iron fist or down doing the something similar. if i can't find something, i'll concede. it could be fights or feats i guess, but we're talking about skill here mostly so feats of skill would be better for the purposes of the thread but whatever. anyone game?
Depends. Are we counting everything? Even stuff like Batman kicking Cap into a mountain, or fighting Zoom? Or, say, Black Panther arm barring Surfer?
I have no doubt comparable "looking" feats exist, in a vaccume. There's a whole lot of narrative and context for why in one case, it makes sense, and another it doesn't though.
I'm game either way. A few of his feats, I'd like to see if any street has comparable.

Lol. Excuses already? Kk has somewhere in the neighbourhood of 400 appearances. That should be more than sufficient. And of course everything would count. Batman has so many crazy feats it’s impossible to call them pis anymore. If kk is so far above these guys it shouldn’t be that hard to prove it finally. Like I said I’ll happily concede if it’s warranted. I’m not even saying he isn’t better. But the degrees of difference people attribute between him and others bares being proven finally. Here’s everyone’s chance.
Tharok, Mano, Emerald Emperess, and Persuader, I think. Forget what happened with Validus.

Talk talk talk... have SEEN nothing. Batman has beaten the league. Again here is the chance to turn kk myth to reality. I can’t waitvto see something some other street-type guy can’t match.
well,here is karate kid master earth and most other worlds martial arts scan,and ultimate character guide scan i'm lost,so i'm not 100 percent sure,but i'm certainly sure is similar description. https://imgur.com/dugNok2
Probably some time when I negotiate the fact I suddenly hate puppies, children, family, and work.
