Batman vs Punisher (with twist)

Batman and Punisher get dropped into the Amazon rainforest, they start 100 miles from each other. They both have standard equipment, Punisher gets no Dark Reign stuff. Punisher isn't rusty in h2h due to being Frankencastle.

With standard gear I'd give it to Batman, but dropped in the rain forest with nothing but the clothing on their backs and a single knife, I'd say that situation might be better suited for Punisher's training and abilities.

I'm not sure if Batmans standard gear gives him that much advantage. Hell its not like he can snipe Punisher......

His standard gear is usually throwing batknifes, explosives, and some gas.

Can't Batman use his standard equipment to summon one of his planes?

^ Hell no, just the stuff on his back and pouches. sneer

I ask because I'm fairly certain he has a pager or homing beacon to do such a thing on his person. Unless you want to say he can't do that for this fight, which would be cool.

Well the intention of the thread was that Batman will only use the gear on his costume. So no he can't.

Cool.

I think this match is in Frank's element, but Batman's equipment, especially his cowl's interface, which I think would be paramount to avoiding traps and the like, would give him a slight edge.

Batman has gas and nades and bits n bobs, he starts a fire, Punisher gets a location fix, then Batman waits for the first shot..one its fired then it becomes search and destroy for Bats. A soon as Pun gets within range of a nade toss it's sleepy time.

Pun is an expert in jungle tactics. Maybe Bats wins via gear but not tactics. The idea that Bats is gonna outsmart Pun in his area of expertise when hes outsmarted Cap is unlikely.

There are millions of examples of Batman not using a cowl interface to dodge traps.

If it comes down to H2H who wins?

Batman but a whole load of shit could happen before it comes to that.

Who's more of a tactical genius?

This is actually a really good fight imho. Both characters are very stealthy, they understand the psychology of tracking and routing targets, etc. Depending on the weapon you give him, Punisher has a range advantage and for sure a lethality advantage (batarangs are going to do less to punisher than rounds are to batman), but batman essentially has the "power" of not being noticeable...

I'm not sure how I would call it, but it really depends if Punisher can get Batman to give away his location, which I'm not sure he can't given his jungle warfare experience

in terms of combat tactics and the psychology of warfare, punisher

in terms of stealthy/tactical combat, probably batman

i wouldnt count out batman that easily tho. hes got lots of tricks up his sleeve and hes not too shabby at coming out on top in situations that arent tilted towards him

Why would Punisher kill Batman, though?

because we're making him. and we have all the power here.
