Batman (The Dark Knight) vs a Grizzly bear

Mjolnir isn't standard equipment for Captain America.

okay, how often does a character have to use something for it to be considered standard equipment?

Batman has used grapple hooks, batarangs, and explosive smoke pellets in almost every single Batman film, live or animated.

If an item Batman seemingly just comes from his suit or utility belt and isn't something he couldn't have carried around for the duration of the films without it being seen if it isn't, then it is standard equipment.

If it's something that he obviously doesn't carry on him, like a rocket launcher or some shit, then it isn't.

Silent Master's desperation to deprive Bruce of his equipment in this thread is pretty funny, but honestly I can't think of anything he had in the films that would take down a grizzly that didn't involve a vehicle. All of his gear is by design meant to merely incapacitate humans, not kill them, so its ability to take out a much bigger and tougher grizzly bear is suspect.

What gear do people think will take the grizzly bear out?

So we can use none Baleman movies to support what counts as standard equipment for Baleman?

Edit: I'm only questioning the sticky-bomb launcher as being standard equipment, as it's not something he carries around in his belt or strapped to his uniform

If someone says that Batman has a .44 magnum or an M203 grenade launcher as standard, then that's just bullshit.

Bats has ALWAYS had grapple hooks, batarangs, and smoke bombs.

We're all adults and comic fans, so we can come to a consensus.

The Anti-Life Equation.

Maybe.

I'm not questioning things like batarangs and a grapple gun, my issue was with the sticky bomb launcher. Which is too big to carry in the utility belt.

Refresh my memory. When and where was the sticky bomb launcher?

It's been years since I've watched these movies, but I think H1 said he used it in the first movie. Give me a couple minutes and I'll try to look it up

Just looked it up, it was actually used in The Dark Knight. So I have no idea why H1 has been wasting all our time blathering on about previous movies. When the weapon was actually used by the version of Batman that's in this thread.

That said, I still wouldn't consider it standard equipment as given its size , it's not something he can carry around in his utility belt.

Because he hasn't seen any of them, Silent Master...

YouTube video

He actually pulls it out in a compressed form before firing it like two minutes in.

According to this, it's concealed in the back of his utility belt:

If true it would easily fall under standard equipment but I don't remember ever seeing it. Of course, his cape is typically in the way. Either way though, given how easily he was moving and the fact that he was able to glide despite having it does mean its size is no issue.

It's actually about 2:30 into the video and the explosives were on a timer and didn't go off for almost an entire minute. Don't think that would help against a bear attack even if we count it as standard equipment

I know it was 2:30, I said two minutes to waste your time. 🙂

What would the bear be able to do as Baleman hung out on a building for a full minute? The fight is set on the streets of Gotham and Batman's mobility with his gear eclipses that of the bear. A minute is nothing.

More to the point, he can set the time:

We also see that it is, in fact, on the back of his utility belt so the cry of "It's too big for him to carry!" doesn't seem to carry much weight given the two scenes I've posted. And we see that he can set the time in increments of ten seconds, with the lowest time shown being twenty seconds.

Bruce seems to stomp, gg ez. Dumb thread. 👆

So Batman can only win by running away and using explosives. Ok, I can live with that.

I accept your concession. 👆

I'm glad that you accept my concession in regards to Batman's only chance of winning is if he runs away and has explosives. Assuming of course those explosives are actually powerful enough to take out the bear, after all, they were only meant to incapacitate normal humans.

They weren't meant to be used directly on humans at all, every single time he's used them he's used them to destroy structures. 🙂

So those guys around the 3:20 mark were killed?
