Bane, from Rise of the Dark Knight, versus Marv from Sin City.


H2H/melee combat in a steel cage.

Weapons are dropped into the cage in pairs every 30 seconds. Here are the weapons, in the order that they are dropped.

1. Baseball bat
2. crowbar
3. Office chair
4. Bowie knife
5. Broadsword



who wins?

1) Marv
2) Marv
3) Marv
4) Marv
5) Bane has a chance here, but Marv for the majority

Not sure.

I am.

Marv's damage soak and super-strength shit all over Bane and his glass-jaw.

He's gotta tag Bane though.

Bane wasn't some Ali who was dancing and evading on his tippy-toes. He fought like a brick for the most part. Brutal and straight on. Marv tags him with little difficulty.

He dodged Batman's blows easily enough.

? Batman landed hit after hit, they just didn't phase Bane much. When the lights were off, Bane was evading.

He was dodging them point blank and tanking them at the same time.

So some hit and some didn't, this is what you're saying? Doesn't change the outcome, Marv connects, Bane is ****ed.

Marv only need to hit Bane once in the face, dude has an off button.

Unless Bane shoves a crowbar in Marv's throat?

Probably wouldn't kill Marv outright, considering the damage he can take.

Bane can easily go down from one of Marv's hits though.

lol, Marv. easily.

Marv took multiple assault rifle rounds to the chest and survived the electric chair

there is no debate here.. Marv stomps

Marv Marv Marv no problem.

easily spite against Bane.

I think we need to give this thread the hard goodbye.

Bane looked like he was purposely letting Batman hit him to tire him out.

When Bane wanted to dodge Batman he didn't seem to have a ton of trouble doing it, even catching his fist.

In fact the only time Batman seemed to land blows consistently was after Bane's mask broke and he was weakening.

That being said Marv messes Bane up. He took a bullet to the head and only got knocked out!!!!

Marv was strong enough to pull off a chunk of concrete wall. Bane may be able to do something like that but not with the ease Marv did.

Marv could toss human beings around like stuffed animals.

Well, I don't see Bane crippling Marv before Marv wrecks Bane.

Why not? Bane is faster and is more than strong enough.

How is bane faster? Marv was practically meta human. And banes punches dont equal a sledge hammer. Marv had damage soak for days, and the brute strength to punch through a door and send 2 full grown men flying(literally).

banes strongest punch was the pillar busting hit. He was enraged, it took him nearly 3-4 hits to actually break the pillar, and the pillar appears to be hallow. Hes not competing with marv here at all

Precisely. Marv effortlessly put a mans face inches deep in a brick wall and ripped those bars out of the wall on pure muscle power.

He threw the Policeman out of the police car like ten feet.

The speed, durability and strength feats are all stacked in marvs favor. Whereas bane was taken down by a good couple of punches to the face.

I do agree with you on Marv being better than Bane but it wasn't a good couple of punches that took Bane down. It was Batman's arm blades that initially knocked Bane's mask tubes lose.

Before that he was letting Batman wail on his head and it didn't do anything to him.

I was being facetious. My point basically being that all you need do is damage his Mask o'morphine. Which marv has shown ample strength to accomplish.

Okay fair enough, I just didn't want people thinking it was an easy thing to damage the mask. It is pretty tough but yeah Marv shouldn't have a problem damaging it, not that he would need to in order to win.

U dont have to be all defensive about bane. Don't get me wrong i do have some animosity toward Rises and the treatment of bane as a character, and the many plotholes, and pacing issues etc. But what it basically amounted too was that a man who had very recently been essentially crippled was somehow able to fight on par even a shade better than bane for no explicable reason. And he got taken down by the equivalent of nick cage takeing down the merc in raising arizona.

I would say yes he is faster. Batman wasnt all that fast in a fist fight. He was just expertly trained and really experienced. It comes down to marvs damage soak tho. Marv took down all comers, with the exeption of the killer born(kevin) who practically dodged bullets.

Lol, no, he's not faster than Batman. Lol, dude.
