Some things written by Never, and some replies by Who?-kid.
"And I **think** Batman can lift upwards of 1,000 lbs, but I will never say he **can** until I know for certain."
- Well, you may **think** that. But you know, if he can do that, his back WILL break. Not Wolverines. Therefore, Wolverine is (just a bit) stronger.
"Batman's abilities include a super-high degree of training in all forms of martial arts."
- For once, you're right. But I never said Wolverine was a better fighter, because Batman IS the better fighter. But that's not enough when fighting Wolverine. Batman still can NOT hurt Wolverine, or at least hurt him enough to call himself the winner. He has NO pointy or sharp weapons like a sword with him. He only can cause him some pain, and can confuse him. Nothing more.
"In addition, his considerable fortune provides him with the resources to develop gadgets and weaponry for use in his war on crime. His utility belt allows him to carry these specialized tools on his person at all times."
- Does his utility belt has also some effective weapons against Wolverine ? Please answer my question.
"Disagree period. Please feel free to cite the issue wherein his strength sufficiently augmented his punches. He lifts at MOST ~800lbs."
- Jesus, aren't you ashamed ? Do you really need all the time a comic to back something up ? Don't you have a mind of your own ? "Please feel free to cite..." LMAO. YOU search it (it's all you do, apparently). Some things are logical, you know.
I wouldn't have an idea if that actually has been written somewhere. But, and this is not far fetched, if the skeleton of YOUR hand was enhanced with unbreakable adamantium, and if you have a healing factor that (almost) immediately cures little wounds you would get by using your fists, and if you can stand lots of pain (Wolverine can), you can deal out more damage. This is no rocket science.
"Apparently you think he is immune to punches/pain because of his skeleton? You are WRONG. His skeleton is UNBREAKABLE. Wolverine can suffer concussions, contusions, bruises, EVERYTHING. He has stated MANY times he feels EVERY punch."
- This is too stupid to dignify with an answer, but since I'm in a good mood : you have to READ more closely, my friend. I never, never said anything about Wolverine being immune for pain. On the contrary, read my Wolverine versus Spider-Man messages (all very good written and fun to read for the whole family 🙂 ). So quote me please where I think Wolverine is immune to punches/pain.
I DID say that most punches/kicks of Batman won't hurt Wolverine that much, that's true. I still stand by that.
"Prove it. Prove it. Show me a battle, issue, quote in a profile, anything wherein Wolverine is CONSISTENTLY quick. I point you to Secret Wars #3 where Spiderman bounced around him such that even Nightcrawler was amazed. The Weapon X program NEVER augmented his agility/quickness, so...prove it?"
- First of all, because his agility hasn't been improved, he can't be faster than Batman ? Second, YOU prove it that Batman is faster. In previous messages, I asked you lots and lots and lots of times of proofs why Batman could defeat Wolverine, and you gave me squat. Nothing. Nada. Only old battles which I don't care for. And now, all of a sudden, I have to prove something ? Nice try.
Why do you always think that Wolverine is a sitting duck ? Oh wait, let me guess, the Elektra fight. Now young man, don't forget another fight : the Reaper. Do you really think Wolverine would have a problem with this guy ? I really hope you don't, because otherwise, you're making an ass of yourself.
I hate it to bring up an old battle where Batman got his ass kicked so much it was painful to watch (Reaper : just an old guy with a cool mask), but since you ALWAYS (every single time) refer to the Elektra fight, it's no more than fair that I bring up another fight. Just to show that Batmans fighting skills are not always what they seem to be. And no, I'm not dissing Bats. I know what he can do.
"...AND, regarding that comment about Batman's analytical ability NOT aiding him in battles: (and so on)"
Bullshit and horseshit at the same time ! Throw Batman and Wolverine in a cage and see what happens. Even Batman needs a few seconds/minutes to work something out. I do NOT say that Wolverine will win all the time, that I don't believe. But he will win most of the time.
"I reference the Elektra fight because you CLAIM Batman cannot harm Wolverine."
- Liar. Again (this is getting predictable), I never said this. I said Batman can't truly hurt Wolverine, not enough to make Batman the winner. If he can, please share your wisdom with me and explain me how. And don't give me that "Are his eyes invulnerable ?" "His throat" and so on. I know all that, but it's easier to write something (Attack his eyes ! His knees ! No, his stomach ! His ears !! No wait, just hit him in the groin !) than actually DO it.
Easier said than done.
