Batman Vs Punisher

Also references Batman and the Punisher, lol - two guys who are 'humans' who do 'human' things.

Despite that, you think that Bats with his full attention and a month, couldn't teach you how to make cocktails? Taste wine? The finer points of suits (when to choose single/double vents, lapel width, pleats etc), how to tie Windsor/half-Windsor knots, how to tie a cravat/bowtie? Hell, even things like lip-reading, or lock-picking can be taught in a day or two - it's the practice which will take time.

And if you THEN wanted to learn how to use weapons or unarmed combat, again, that can also be taught by Bats. He just has a wider knowledge base, that is more applicable to the 'real world'.

Batman, easily.

Surprised DS went the jokey route with his responses.
Cogito really has made the best argument(s).

Thanks, Cogito.

When I started thinking about all this I was thinking strictly along the lines of who could teach me how to survive in a dangerous situation better, and I chose Punisher because he'd actually teach me how to point a gun and shoot it. I guess I made that assumption based on the fact that Frank was one of the teaching options.

I may have been wrong about that, and if I was then it'd be Bruce all day. I've gotten by this far without finding myself in a shootout, and I like my odds going forward. Aside from that, Frank has nothing to teach me. Bruce has all kinds of shit, I'm just trying to be realistic about how much I can learn.

You get whichever one you want and their complete resources/attention.
Who could teach you more (and what would they teach) in one month that would then be useful in RL?

Bruce could give me money. Show me where to invest so i can amass a fortune. Then i can hire my own teachers after the month is up.

Frank can give me antmans helmet so i can rob a bank and hed shoot me immediately afterwards

Tough decision

Yeah but they're teaching me, and I'm bound by being relatively stupid and inept.

I think I can learn to make cocktails in a bartending class, I don't think my palate is refined enough to care about the finer points of wine tasting, I can't afford the suit conversation and even if I could, I could learn that from a decent tailer or even a youtube video, I think I can learn everything else you just listed from youtube.

Like i said, its who could teach you things you could use in RL.
I would disagree that surviving a shootout is all Frank is good for, though, but of course it would be pretty major.
