Spoiler included
Jello, I told you before, Batman is not right-wing. Wayne is a facade for the Batman, but the bleeding-heart charities and social programs he's involved in, that's based on a piece of his true personality. If he were right-wing, he wouldn't bother being a liberal playboy, he'd be a conservative playboy.
Judge Dredd kills. The Batman doesn't kill and he doesn't consider himself a judge. That's why he hands his prey over to the police after he's done with them.
The Black Widow killing the Batman? That's ridiculous. Bats has taken down better spies than her.
Kal-El, I think Batman has a few tricks up his sleeve when it comes to people like Iron Man, the the Thing, and even the Hulk. I didn't read the crossover you're talking about, and I don't know how he beat him, but I'm sure he has at least a chance. He knows the Flash, so he knows how to beat him. Thor and Silver Surfer, well, I don't think he's got chance against either of them. They're practically on different planes of existence.
Here's a spoiler for you guys, since Darth Jello asked about the various Robins:
Spoiler:
The Spoiler is going to be the new Robin! I don't know why exactly Tim Drake is quitting, but he is, and his vigilante (ex?)girlfriend is taking his place. It's going to be a rough training period.
whatever, at least the devil has faith and doesn't let a single tragedy rule his whole life.
as for the widow, how insulated is batman's suit? could he take 10,000 volts in the tuchis and having his nose shoved in his brain? She's sexy and ruthless. not that he couldn't do it alone, but if they ever ganged up on bats, that fight would be over real fast.
Logan, Iron man would have quite a few more tricks up his Iron sleeves. The guys I chose were ones who pretty much can't be hurt except by other strongmen and maybe massive explosions, and batbombs aren't massive explosions. Of course, we can always say 'prep-'time' again.....No human can beat the flash, for obvious reasons of speed and therefore not being able to see him when he ties them up, knocks them out,whatever. As for the Hulk, he's a fist-swinging superhuman with far more speed than a normal human as well as strength, bats wouldnt have the time for any party pieces, the best he could do is sneak away. Same with Juggernaut, he cant do jack to hurt him, or colossus for that matter.
Jello, what are these transmitters in DDs horns about/for?I've never come across them before and I'm an avid DD fan.
Jello, the Batman' suit can produce that many volts of electricity in an emergency, so he can take a widow's bite.
As for the devil's "faith," I don't consider that a strength, and his faith wavers every time a tragedy occurs. It is true that the Batman can't get past his trauma, and Murdock has at least tried to make himself happy.
Kal-El, Iron Man can be hurt. It would take a lot of smarts from the Batman and don't know that he could take him down, but he'd have a chance. The Batman's intelligence is a different kind than Stark's--more tactical and investigative than inventive.
I said before that the Batman knows the Flash and therefore he could conveivably beat him. He got kicked off the JLA before because he kept records of how to beat each of his teammates and they fell into the wrong hands. He knows how to bring down the JLA if any of them turns bad.
The Batman could figure out a way to handle the Hulk. Juggernaut is now more vulnerable, so he's fair game, too. Spider-Man has beaten the Juggernaut when he was invincible, and he didn't do it through sheer strength. He buried him in concrete. Obviously someone of the Batman's capabilities could do the same thing. Of course he couldn't have killed Juggernaut back then, but he could have "defeated" him.
As for Daredevil's horn transmitters, check out the first few issues of his comic. They sell them in ten issue packs at some book stores. He had little communication devices in the horns on his cowl to pick up radio signals and to enhance his radar powers. I don't think he uses them anymore. He used to be pretty high-tech, with a billy club that was chock full of gadgety goodness. It was pretty overdone and unrealistic, so they probably dropped most of it.
Yeah, its all fair game when you're that smart I suppose, and you've given decent reasons/examples, I just hate when people argue for batman just saying, he can beat anyone with prep time and smarts redardless.I'm sure you know what I mean.
I actually remember now, I've got the DD first 20/30 issues in essential DD. yeah, he had those transmitters and the club/cane could release gas pellets and all-sorts. compaerd to back then, they seem to have just amplified his senses so he wouldnt need transmitters. It was a bit too batman and he doesnt have bats' resources
YOU KNOW I repect the dark-knight Logan!But I thought that was why he was doing it, because he was getting on in that comic because its set in the future after his retirement. I never thought it was because he was crazy. I never thought of him as dellusional crazy, just inhumanly driven crazy. Im not sure that saying he's crazy is more repsectful than saying he's old anyway. 🤪
It's more honest. Bats always lives on the edge of insanity. At age 50, a person does not become senile without a specific degenerative disease, and that rarely happens at age 50. The Batman was practically hallucinating, and of course tis was partially due to his injuries, but he's got a troubled mind. I respect the Batman for not being a full-on looney, but there's no question he's got a belfry full of frisky bats.
the chaste are a ninja sect that are the rivals of the hand. technically, DD and electra are members. the former leader was DD's teacher and christ figure, stick, a blind guy with mad martial art skills. the current leader is stone, a ninja who can withstand any and all physical attack. the chaste can also give parts of their lifeforce to resurrect others. they are better trained and more powerful than the hand

spawn could wipe batman out. one of batman's best arsenals in winning is having the patience and time to figure out his opponents weakness. what if he wasn't given that chance? what if it was a fight impromptu? i don't think he'd have a chance against spawn.
You're right. They fight impromptu in a crossover (War Devil, maybe?), and Batman loses badly. Later, he does better, but as far as I remember, he never actually beats Spawn.
Of course, that was in the DKR universe, so Batman wasn't at his best physically, but even so...
