I did something like that once... switched origins around... Batman had the shadow force, Flash was from the mystical island of Hermesia, Wonder Woman had powerful alien armbands, Green Lantern from an alien planet and Superman was the epitome of human achievement (it's a long story)
The fun about Batman VS threads, for me, is trying to imagine how Batman COULD beat Hulk... of course it's not likely, but Batman THRIVES on not likely, so it doesn't really matter how invulnerable Hulk is, if it's POSSIBLE, then Batman can do it.
So I see a VS thread, read and think for a minute, like I imagine Batma would do (whether in a cave or dodging fists) how do I drop this thing, I can't kick it, so that's out now. It doesn't take damage of any sort shock, chemicals, whatever, or if it does take damage from whatever lethal madness I have, it keeps coming.
Fine, distract it, send it after something, drag it into space, feed it, take the thousand other roads that can avoid the ineveitable conclusion: the levelling of gotham city.
Now, it's true, Batman loses a lot if you put him in a small room with all-powerful opponents, but what's the fun in that?
Batman vs Silver Surfer? No, Silver Surfer is relatively all-powerful... he has NO weaknesses, unless Batman somehow figures out how to summon galactus and plays the two off of each other (something that I don't really think CAN be done without having some leverage on Galactus (like having met him before) ).
Hypester, I like the way you think 😎
