I agree that Spiderman dosn't stand a chance against Batman, and that he and Captain America are almost perfectly matched, but I think if it would come down to anyone it's going to be him and Superman. It would always depend on who was writting it as to the outcome, but I think that if it was today's batman vs. today's Superman it would probably be Batman, but it would take so much out of him that he would die from the strain on him. If Superman was forced to pull out all the stops, he could kill Bruce before he could even get to any of his countermeasures, but he wouldn't and Bruce would count on that to win.
Okay, everybody else has put in their 2c worth, now I'm going to give it a shot.
Which of the vast array of Superheroes would pose the biggest threat to Batman if there ever were a one on one confrontation?
Batman is a formidable opponent who changes his style to best accommodate whatever situation he's confronted with. Like any other Superhero, he's capable of doing whatever needs to be done in order to come out the winner.
Unlike the majority of the Superheroes we see in the comic books, he doesn't possess any of those special powers nor abilities that render him "superior" in either physical or mental attributes. However, this doesn't necessarily make him weaker by any means. If anything these "shortcomings" have proven to be his greatest asset. Of all the heroes that have come and gone throughout the world of comic books and so forth, it's been my observation that he's the most resourceful. Because of that, I have every reason to believe this makes him the guy that would come out on top in the end, no matter whom he faces.
The only Superhero I can see at this point who could actually defeat Batman would be Nightwing. Originally trained as the first Robin, this guy knows all about Batman. He knows the strengths, knows the weaknesses and probably even knows Batman better than he knows himself. Also, Dick Ward was like a son to Bruce Wayne. For Bruce/Batman, I think it would be emotionally impossible for him to soundly defeat Dick/Nightwing.
Those other Superheroes, regardless of what kind of special arsenals they have at their disposal, all have key weaknesses that can render them useless in no time flat. No Superhero is truly invincible. But, of the whole lot of them I've found Batman to be the most intriguing. Despite how screwed up things get for him, he still keeps the promise of those vows he made to his parents when they were killed.
Batman, in essence, is a wounded animal. Granted, the other Superheroes have each suffered their own version of tragedies that have made them what they are, but of the whole lot, Batman was the youngest victim to actually remember in perfect detail what happened. Now, imagine just how dangerous a person could be if they've spent the majority of their life, straight from childhood, as someone riddled with pain, guilt and determination to ensure they never get "beat" again. I wouldn't want to take that kind of person on, even if I had the special capabilities of all the Superheroes combined.
Even if any of the other Superheroes managed to wipe out Batman, I have a feeling the Dark Knight wouldn't go alone. Somehow he'd find a way to drag that person down with him.
lol Either that, or he comes back as Ghost Batman and really raises hell. Oh, now that would be something to see.
thats crazy, nightwing isnt ready for batman. not that nightwing isnt cool, just that he doesnt stand a chance against batman. nightwing isnt even ready to take on another superhero. and remember batman knows just about as much about nightwing as nightwing does to him. nightwing isnt even as smart as batman, no where near it.
Batman Isn't stupid but he is a bit paranoid, in a good way. You think he doesn't keep a file on Every super hero and villain out there? He knows all there strengths and weaknesses. And has already worked out how to overcome any one of them. Because he is kind of NUTZ. lol
Unless you managed to really surprise him which is unlikely given his intellect. He always goes into these big battles prepared for many many possible outcomes, plans upon plans.
He wouldn't think twice about breaking contact if he needed to, to go regroup and get what he needs to kick any a$$. Provided he could get away. As I said plans upon plans.
Nightwing is cool but young and strong but as experienced as batman. Though Bruce loves dick like a son, thats why they have that tenuous relationship.
I suspect if they had to go at it Bats would win, but let Dick take him out rather than really hurt him.
Then Dick would have to don the cape and Cowl,ooooog that would be cool.
Dick Greyson, BATMAN.
jesus, eddie Brock is a good character, he went insane for legit resons, lost his job, ex-wife comits suicide. the symbiote a LIVING costume rejected by spider man.vengence in a bottle,not only is he a serious badass, he wants to protect innocence so he aint some raoming idiot villain. NOW lets see batman becomes a vigilante(not a superhero) because a clown shots his parents. yep he rules in a karate kid rich boy way.
and i said i only read 3 comics that does not mean i dont know anything about batman, ill give him this he came back from a broken back(bane i think) so he is tough as hell, not to mention he has some friggin awsome enemies,scarcrow,bane,croc,sorry but jokers stupid, he faced a predator and thats cool as hell. and in the issue it was very brutal,way befor marvel touched that kind of violence.
batman would not be able to survive a battle with wolverine, that is no contest. wolverine has over a hundred years of fighting experience in nearly every fighting art, and adamantium skeleton, claws, and a healing factor. considering that wolverine was able to drop lobo in seconds, batman really doesn't stand a chance.
