Unlike your credibility? 👆

Until next time, carver!!!!

Owitch! 😱

I think everyone really put a lot of thought into this versus. I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Seriously though, DS.

Riv made the thread with the specific stipulation that Bats had no clue about Shaw's powers.

And you spent the majority of the thread pointing out Shaw's tendency to boast about his abilities.

I agree with you and all, but come on.

True. The World's Most OK Detective will ignore the Shawsplanations.

Your post stated that there was no wall for Shaw too bash bats. I was saying that they are on a rooftop

OK? I was envisaging a flat top roof. Otherwise, it would be a bit too easy for Bats, if there were features for him to hid and skulk around.

Essentially, this. Gambit throws things at Shaw, he tanks it like a champ, and describes his powers as he walks towards them. Now imagine it's at night, and he's fighting the World's Most Satisfactory Detective....

😕

I'm a little confused by what I'm seeing in this scan.
Is Sage wearing a wig in this encounter or have half-blonde/half brunette hair, or is she not there at all? That has the look of a job by Mystique written all over it, unless there are at least two female agents in that room.

Shaw threads are pretty fun in general.

He's hardly known for his subtlety.

'FOOL! DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM?? ANY BLOW YOU LAND, ONLY SERVES TO MAKE ME STRONGER!!!'

Batman recently did take a tank blast near point blank range and he was more annoyed then anything. That's not even a joke either.

2 out of 3 of those scans (one didn't work and the last was cropped) have Shaw say that stuff as he's beating the person down, so unless Batman has absorption/healing/super-durability powers also I really don't see your point.

Shaw has also said it when he WASN'T beating down Gambit (twice):

Not to mention, considering the punches Bats has tanked in the past, are you of the opinion that Shaw would 1 hit KO Bats with his very first strike, considering OP saying he's 'averagely charged, as he would be on a normal non confrontation pending day'?

Batman tanked...a tank? WTF?

I give you the Gambit ones cause ...context, but the rest had those guys getting smacked hard soon after

Fair enough. I see the hand 2 hand fighting being similar to the fight he had with Bane, with shattered concrete etc flying about - but more one sided on Shaw's account.

IOW, Bats could very feasibly tank the initial blow(s?) from Shaw, until he busts out the rest of his tech (once Shaw has done his shouty bit).

Shaw can punch himself and power up. He does so every day just to stay at a decent superhuman level

What level is that? I asked this earlier, no one seemed to know.

He casually tossed Cable to the side with ease and Cable is physically above Batman (and Shaw was not hit during this encounter either).

So what level is that? Honest, serious question.
