Darth Vader vs. Batman

This is Vader from Rebels.

Batman gets any standard sword of his choice (it obviously is assumed to be lightsaber proof here)

**saber clash only. No offensive Force powers for Vader and no other equipment for Batman.

Who takes it?

Vader.

Bruce is not Wolverine, he's not that great of a swordsman.

He did beat R'as once... but the other time he merely stalemated him and got sodomized by a normal desert scorpion:

It is, as you can see in the OP:

This is Vader from Rebels.

So even if Bruce somehow outskills him and lands a few hits, it doesn't instantly secure the win for him.

👆

Between Vader's precog, strength, skill, speed, and damage soak... I really don't see how Bruce can win?

By hitting Vader 👆

After a long fight, Vader wins. His strength, speed, and swordsmanship are too much for Bruce to handle and it will tire him out. After that, Vader goes for the kill. And Vader's a cyborg after all. The only way of Bruce winning is to outsmart him or hit Vader's vitals or pressure points but that's a slim chance. Knowing Vader won't be just standing around letting in free shots.

Bruce makes Vader his biatch lol... Bruce has always had force powers lol

But what are Batman's swordsmanship feats?

Vader is dueling all the time, he even beat Dooku before he became the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Wolverine (the other thread) is a beast with swords; he even took a plane out with a sword throw. And he fights cyborgs and supernatural opponents wielding swords all the damn time; it's a part of his superhero job. That's why I feel confident in his abilities.

Or frying the suit with him in it.

Sure seemed to work for Tarkin, only Bruce would just hit him again as soon as he twitched instead of just staring at him.

Edit: Wait, no powers or gadgets.

Then Batman wins the sword dual. Vader struggled with noob Luke, Batman made highly skilled Ra's work.

Vader wins, easily.

Ra's struggled with Bane, who only read a few books on fencing in prison and had no experience with the blade at the time.

As for frying the suit, he has no equipment here and Tarkin was on a fcking storm planet, that's what made his plan work.

It's a featureless environment on forum and OP makes it clear Wayne is equipped with just a sword.

^ Vader's armor was also heavily compromised at the time.

Bane is a genius though. Ra's still merced him.

George Lucas himself said ANH Obi Wan vs Vader was merely an old man vs a cripple, without offensive force powers there's no way a lurching trauma patient keeps up with a fit Olympic level athlete😝

I told you Zemo beats Ras 😈

As bad as Ra's is, Zemo is worse 🙁

I don't get why Marvel gave him a sword. His skill with it is abysmal.
