Strictly a boxing match. Boxing rules and all. No other fighting styles (clearly), boxing gloves and all.

Rocky gets a montage before the fight. And also has the "Eye of the Tiger" and "Gonna Fly Now" playing in the background during the fight.

Batman gets...a day of prep.

Rocky has Micky, Paulie, and Apollo at his corner. And of course, Adrian is watching from the stands and tells Rocky to win.

Batman has Robin, Batgirl, and Alfred at his corner. And uh...Catwoman can watch from the stands and tells Bats to win.

You may all think this is a joke, but I'm really curious/serious about this.

My personal opinion is that Rocky will win. Eventually. But hell, this would be the match of the millenium.

CorderaMitchell
Bats, but what the hell...

ROCKY!!!! ROCKY!!! ROCKY!!!

Zahit
Is Apollo and Mickey in his corner?
Does Paulie slip some wild turkey in Batman's water?
Does Adrian tell Rocky to win?

Metalmanx
There, I edited it. Check it out now.

CorderaMitchell
hmmm, this adds new dimensions...

Zahit
Is "Gonna Fly Now (Theme from Rocky)" by Bill Conti gonna be played over the loudspeakers?

If this was Wildcat i would give him the win.

Rocky balboaaaa for the k.O.

"Pain Fool"
"He is not a man, He is a peice of iron"
"You fght great but, I'm a great fighter"
"Yeah if i'd know Tommy Gunn/Morrison had HIV I'd have thought twice about hiring him for Rocky 5"

Batman Wins


Keep the faithbig grin


Stay Whirly rock

Rocky beats him....only just though if you had 'the touch' playing it would be a instant win for rocky.

CorderaMitchell
ROCKY!!!

It's just a boxing match...and if Rocky gets a montage, he'll be in peak shape. He'd ruin Bruce. Throw in other fighting styles and it's a different story, but Rocky owns the boxing ring.

Thank you, Digi. Glad to see there are others with some knowledge of Rocky's superior boxing skills.

CorderaMitchell
I'm still thinking, if only boxing he wins, but isn't batman in better shape and faster?

Wanderer259
Isn't Batman also an insanely competent boxer, though? I believe it was the first 'style' he learned.

CorderaMitchell
He should be skilled in all of the styles ROCKY would dream of being good in.

That and bats is a more experienced dodger and fighter, he can dodge superpeople, so it just seems like a joke match...

Joker1237
I dont see Rocky getting out of the 7th round with Bats. But will he be Batman in the suit? with boxing gloves?? Or bruce Wayne in shorts with boxing gloves???

If Batman is wearing his suit, I say Rocky dies laughing base how goofy that would look.

Zahit
Rocky is more than a match for Batman.

Rocky easily. Rocky has more heart than any other man, training from Mickey, Apollo Creed, and Apollo's manager, he's taken on enhanced/peak human opponents before (Drago was the epitome of Russian Technology). Plus the Power Montage is absolute. He could beat Phoenix with the proper use of the Power Montage.

I'd pay money to see a Triple Threat Death Match between Rambo, Batman and Dutch (Schwarzenegger from Predator) in a South American Jungle, though.

CorderaMitchell
You don't think batman can beat a boxing strongman?

illadelph12
Rocky isn't just a boxing strongman, he was a 2-time World Heavyweight Champ. After Apollo trained him for the fight with Clubber Lang he was more than just a brawler, he could fight with skill and finesse as well as slug it out. Then in his prep for Drago, who was enhanced by super steroids and basically engineered to be the best fighter the world had ever seen (Bane?), Rocky broke through to another threshold and defeated him without any enhancements, just heart. If he gets a prefight anti Batman montage he'll take Batman. The montage will show him training in ALL the ways necessary to beat Batman in a boxing match. They might even show footage of Rocky training with Lady Shiva. If the fight was K-1 style I'd take Batman, but in pure boxing, Rocky won't stay down, you'd have to kill him, and Bruce won't kill.

i dunno, bats punched a guy straight through a wall in year one (albeit not in boxing gloves), but i dont think rocky can do that.


bats will win. but rocky will get his licks in.

is this a joke thread?

batman will win this, even tho its a boxing match

Rocky!!!

Solidus Snake
when batman went "away" during no mans land and we saw him training in some hotel, didnt u see him punching the punching bag so hard that he disintegrated his boxing gloves?

rocky dies. i mean if he can get punchy with the kgbeast, he can beat rocky.

illadelph12
Batman's not beating Rocky with the Power Montage and his theme music. The montage nullifies all prep, training, and special abilities an opponent of the montage user(s) may have. Nothing Batman does will be of consequence after the montage. The theme music adds extradimensional energy (magic) to every blow Rocky lands, causing an exponentially greater degree of damage to his opponent when he strikes. For an example, watch Rocky 2. Watch Rocky's first fight with Clubber Lang, then watch the 2nd fight (after the montage) and see what all of Rocky's punches do when the theme music is playing. Rocky's strength and endurance become superhuman while his theme music plays.

Hell, they might even show clips of Rocky in a lab working on becoming a scientist and forensics expert. With proper use of a montage, Rocky could become a better detective and tactician than Batman in less than 5 minutes in real-time and beat Bruce at his own game.

The Power Montage is absolute.

It's the ultimate Hollywood loophole.

If you compare the success ratio of all action hero movie montages to Batman's comic fights, you'll see Batman can't win.

A character with a montage never loses:

Rambo, Dutch, John McClain, Casey Rybeck, Braddock, Commando, American Ninja, Jean Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport and Kickboxer, James T. Kirk, Action Jackson, Shaft, even Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse.

The Power Montage is an ability to alter reality. It can alter the fabric of creation itself.

CorderaMitchell
Rocky!!

Solidus Snake
are there no serious arguements for rocky's cause? cause bats is still winning this fight.

Rocky has a montage! yes

Good ol' gump

Metalmanx
No, this really isn't a joke thread. I made with fully serious-ness.

I really wanted to know what people will think. And I personally think Rocky would win.

CorderaMitchell
I understand, but batman just seems to be the better fighter.

grey fox
better OVER-ALL fighter boxing is simply one of his styles

Metalmanx
Yes, I'm not denying Batman is the better OVER-ALL fighter at all. Because he is.

But I believe very much that Rocky is the much better boxer and that he would win.

Not that Batman would not give him the fight of his life, however.

grey fox
Oh yeah i agree with you that rocky could beat batman , it's just in a overall fight batmans owns rocky so badly

So Batman is exempt from using from kicking, pouncing, and hiding?

hmmm, common thugs have given batman trouble. smokin'

The King of All
batman would win it, he's mastered pretty much every form of martial arts known to man. Among those would be varoius types of boxing, and batman represents the very best that a human could possibly ever be, without taking steroids ( which Rocky didn't do either). Not only that but batman is incredibly intelligent and would adapt to Rocky and eventually.

I'm not saying that it would be a blowout, Rocky would gte some licks in, but I feel certain that eventually batman would take it

Solidus Snake
u guys do know that bats is faster and maybe 1.5 to 2 times as strong as rocky right

Onikirimaru
In a boxing match ROCKY IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT. He will not stay down. It doesnt matter how many kung fus batman has in his belt, he is just a man, and can only punch as hard as a man, and from the looks of Batmans physique, he is considerably weaker than what Rocky has had to take down before. No matter how many times Batman hits rocky, he wont go down. Rocky gets STRONGER the more beat up he gets, like a miniture former pornstar Hulk. Batman doesnt have the heart to win it. He would get frustrated and be all like "Ive beaten Superman, I have millions of fanboys, and I know all kinds of Kung Fu, yet I cant keep this guy down! What the hell am I even doing here? If I only I could hit him in the head with a thrown device..." and Rocky would just keep screaming at him while punching until Batman throws in the towel.

Batman might "know" boxing, but just "knowing" boxing is not enough in a real boxing match. Batman has no experience in the ring, whatsoever. Batman's prep time would probably be wasted looking Rocky up on the bat computer hoping he is weak to kryptonite or something. Once he sees he wont be able to beat Rocky, he would probably try to exploit Rocky via his friends and family. He would scare Mickey and give him a heart attack, and that will further ensure Rocky's win. Batman would also go down to the local hotel and buy all of their 50 year old boxing gloves to work out in, so he can hit a few things and be all like "Ooo look at me I broke the boxing gloves!" (actually, I am no fighter of anykind, yet I have managed to break apart boxing gloves while working out before. I guess I could own batman in a fight because I must be super strong)

In a boxing ring Rocky is unbeatable. Thats the RULE. Its like saying "Batman vs Superman and they are fighting in the middle of the sun" Rocky aint getting beat in the ring.

Onikirimaru
Originally posted by Solidus Snake

Thats a moot point. Remember Rocky has never fought someone that he is "suppose" to win against. He always has fought someone that out classes him in every way shape or form. But his training montage represents him training to get to a level where he wins. It represents the factor that cant be measured by barbells or tape measure. Its his undefeatable spirit

I mean, Rocky beat Mr T! Nobody can beat Mr T. MrT brings cabbage to a gun fight and WINS. He is impervious to bullets! He has a cool van! He can fly as fast as superman (although he never did because he hates to fly) And Rocky beat him!

The King of All
rocky may have the spirit to win and would give it his best, but he's just a normal guy who trained for at most 5 years to be a fighter.

Batman was set up by DC to be the ultimate human in everyway, he's as strong as any olympic power lifter, he's as fast as any olympic sprinter, has a well above genius level i.q., and so on. Also batman has been training in every form of martial art there is since he was 14.

However you could argue that batman and Rocky are on a similar footing in terms of simply boxing, and i'd give you that much. But the real reason that Rocky really can't come out of this fight the victor is because due to his massive intelligence and training batman is a master at finding and abusing the weaknesses of his opponents.

Batman can't be beaten by someone who is a human w/o enhancements (steroids, drugs, venom...) in a one-on-one situation.

brainchild81
But he has been. Rocky's been given a montage. He's gonna be in tip top shape. Batman goes down and doesn't get back up @ the end of the 12th. Rocky wins.

But your missing looking right past why Rocky is Rocky. It doesnt matter what you do to Rocky, Rocky will not be beat. Whatever weakness he has, the montage cancells it out. He will always get back up. Batman cant win.

CorderaMitchell

Batman beats this living hell out of Balboa.

Please, Batman is beyond standard boxing ability wise. And is far better physical condition, AND has better defensive reactions, agility and stamina.

Wayne would have mastered all boxing techniques early on in his training.

poor Rocky would get pwned. A 1st round right cross KO from the Darknight ftw.

Metalmanx
It ain't about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. THAT'S HOW WINNING IS DONE.

One, anyone who doesnt think Rocky wins has absolutley Zero sense of humor, and should either get one fast or kill themselves

two, The Rock always pulls out. Bats bashes his face in for round 1-7, Late round 7 Rock lands a few, Round 8 he only barely loses, Round 9 his barely wins, Round 10, Bats goes down.
