Who do you think is the Marvel Batman?

Who do you think is the equivalent of the Dark Knight in the MU?
I would say probably either Black Panther or Daredevil. Black Panther mainly because he's got the same kind of costume, fighting skills, etc.

What do you think?

I thought Nighthawk from Squadron Supreme was Marvel's Batman.

Moon Knight if we are talking mainstream Marvel universe.

Moonknight

i would say Iron Man only because he owns a company as well, and uses his companies gadgets.

Definitely MoonKnight.

Daredevil

I would have to say Daredevil.

There is no one-to-one comparison at Marvel. Aspects of Batman's image & personality are spread over a half-dozen characters at least. Superficially, Moon Knight is the closest, but isn't obsessive and is closer to The Shadow. Black Panther? Don't see that - that costume is cultural in his country, he has no secret identity etc. Nighthawk IS Batman, but in a different reality. Closest is Daredevil and Punisher; Frank Castle is what Batman would be if he was willing to kill criminals, and Punisher uses the most tech, but it's real-world stuff.

Moonknight seems pretty Batman to me. So do Black Panther and Daredevil though.

I always thought of Daredevil as the poor man's Batman. Or, rather, a poor man who was Batman.
But there are certainly similarities between Batman and a long list of heroes... he is one of the original superheroes, after all. He's bound to be pretty influential, which is why a number of Marvel heroes share his basic origin story.

Few if any share the same origin story as Batman. And he himself is a melding of Zorro and The Shadow, plus visual ideas from Leonardo Da Vinci and a movie serial character called "The Bat." But being one of the earliest comic book heroes - along with Superman, Captain America, and Namor - means you set a kind of archetype profile others cannot help but find some aspects of. Just as Superman inspired many a super-powered strongman hero to follow after him.

Black Panther, Daredevil, or Moonknight

YEP Daredevil is the poor mans Batman
Thats if you ignore the fact that they got nothing in common except for being urban superheros
You might as well call Spider-man a poor mans Batman 😆

Not so much Panther, probably Moon Knight. Don't mess with Moon Knight.

yeah got to go with moonknight.

Daredevil is definitely batman. which is kinda why Bullseye often resembles the joker in personality and arsenal.
The only difference is that Daredevil doesn't uses as many gadgets, is a much better fighter, and is much less psychologically stable. oh, and he's a totaly player.

I can tell you now, Batman is a better fighter than DD.
It's my opinion... but I'm pretty sure most will go with me on that one.

And DD is much less psychologically stable indeed. He's gone mad at least three times that I can remember. Bats hasn't ever gone mad, I don't think...

Marvel versus DC did an interesting thing and fused characters from the two worlds together.

We of course had Captain America and Superman, and batman was fused with Wolverine.

When you look at wolverine's x-men mentality and compare it to batman's JLA outlook, they are similar.

The Amalgam series...I think Wolverine/Batman was called Darkclaw and his sidekick was Jubilee/Robin, a.k.a. Sparrow.
They also had Iron Lantern, (If Tony Stark had a Green Lantern ring)
