standard weapons and militarials for both.

GAMBIT. HE HAS MUTANT AGILITY. AND COULD LITERALLY BLOW UP THE BLOCK AND TAKE BATMAN OUT.

Nice thread, I was thinking about this battle too, but you beat me to it. And you know who I'm going with on this one. I love Gambit, but I don't think he can beat Bats.

If Batman can keep some distance between him and Gambit. And utilize his weapon efficiently and keep Gambit from grabbing and charging him with his powers. I would say that Batman has a good chance. Other then that, I see Batman as the better fighter in my opinion. Batman 7/10

BEING A BETTER FIGHTER WON'T SAVE HIM FROM BEING BLOWN UP ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE BLOCK.

Keeping distance is exactly how Batman would lose in a fight if both can see each other (ie no subterfuge). Gambit has markedly better weapons at range than Batman. The latter's close range fighting skills will give him a couple of wins, but all Gambit needs to do at close range is to touch Batman. He takes an easy majority.

Silent Master
Gambit has actually done fairly well against people like Daredevil and Wolverine so it's not like Batman is going to own him in hth, add his speed and powers and Batman is going to have to work for his wins.

Are you serious? Batman has the better weapons at far distance, explosive batarangs, smoke bombs, flash bombs etc.

Grabbing a handful of sand, charging said sand, and throwing in the general direction of Batman is already far more dangerous than the culmination of everything you mentioned. Batman has more tricks at distance, but I don't think there should be a debate as to whose tricks are deadlier.

knockout gas Disables Gambit.

Concrete grains, pebbles, bricks. Anything inorganic is a weapon, and the man has fantastic aim. The point still stands. Knockout gas may not incapacitate Gambit, but getting hit by a charged object, or being in the vicinity of an explosion will probably incapacitate Batman. This is simply a fight which favours Gambit's skillset.

Wrong, Batman has walked away from being near explosions before. In Batman #674 he was hit with a explosive shell in the chest, even though he had a heart attack a little after that. It didn't kill him right away. His suit is really tough and can withstand a lot of damage. And Batman's aim in my opinion is better, he never misses.

Here, Bruce is hiding in a tree, and an arrow is shot at him without him being aware of it. Then, before the arrow can reach him, he tosses a batarang at it casually, splits it in half, and splits the bow in half as well. This just goes to show how awesome Batman's reflexes/reaction speeds and accuracy are

Batman has batarangs with a boomerang effect. Even if Gambit dodges it, the batarang will return catch him off guard. Batman is more smarter than Gambit when it comes to tactical fighting.

I say Gambit for the majority depending on where the fight takes place, and how many cards he has on him.

Gambit casually dodges thousands of rounds from multiple directions, I think he can handle boomerangs.

That's Kallark he's blasting, right?
What happened to him afterward? Because I doubt Batman's durability even comes close to Glads.

Silent Master
Yea....It's Gladiator, that's the last we see of him for a while so several people assumed he was ko'd.

Though to be fair, I think he was being mind controlled and since his powers have a psi-element to them, he might not have been at full power, I think Gambit has also ko'd a fake Thor at one point(can't remember if it was a Skrull in disguise or an alternate universe Thor).

Gambit has much better aim than you think. Did he not hit three switches at 50yards simultaneously with cards? Your point on Batman surviving an explosive shell proves nothing. Getting a heart attack/losing consciousness/getting incapacitated = loss.

What exactly is Batman going to do with a handful of charged sand flying in his general direction? The difference is that Gambit will never run out of weapons, and doesn't even have to score a direct hit on his opponent to win this fight at range.

I know his aim is really good but he's going to need more than that. I see this as a tactical battle, Batman has the edge overall. Batman is much smarter, he has weapons that blind or incapacitate. Physically, he is superior in terms of strength, stamina, and durability. And he is a far better fighter. Batman can and will out smart him, if not all the time. He will at least do it most of the time.

Gambit will blow him up

After Gambit throws his first card. Batman will change his fighting style to counter Gambit's powers and abilities, tactically. He will evade him and use his ninja skills to his advantage and get the drop on him. Question, if someone can't catch Batman off guard from afar with a bow & arrow what makes you think that it could be done at close range?

I don't know, because it has been done before?

And throwing an explosive at someone isn't the same as an arrow. sad

But the chance of that happening is low. And Gambit's cards has to make contact.

He doesn't have to catch him off guard, he is throwing explosive items at him, and depending on where they are fighting Gambit can have A LOT of "ammo".

Battlehammer
If gambit through an entire deck batman loses period there no dodging that.

Silent Master
Batman doesn't really want to get too close since charging people or their clothes isn't out of character.

He did it to the Tithe collector, Ego, leader of the assassin's guild, Mystique and one of the Neo.

not direct contact. Its more of a area of attack weapon with a decent degree of accuracy. And yes a whould deck would cover a large enough area that bats may not be able to escape from. I could see bats Hiding alot and waiting for a perfect time to strike from the shadows or something.

Batman wouldn't defeat Wolverine, Spider-Man, or Sabretooth. But I don't see how Gambit wouldn't be defeated.

Maybe the direct approach is not the best way for Batman. But if he is using stealth, it whole different ball game.

OK, so in that case Gambit could pull off the victory. But for someone like Batman, it's safe to assume that Gambit won't feel that he needs to use his entire deck. If the battle becomes more h2h, then Batman has the overall advantage. Gambit is not that much more faster than Batman to the point that Batman won't land any blows on him.

im kinda confident Gambit would take out his ooponet at long range if he can and no go through the wrouble of fighting h2h with the bats.

But he won't use his entire deck all at once. Batman will also utilize his equipment very tactically and bring this battle to close range.

Battlehammer
which would be the dumbest thing batman could do. You do realize with but a touch he could make batmans armor a bomb right?

Gambit wins, 8/10

He's faster than Batman, and can utilize just about anything for explosive ammunition. Batman is screwed.

Bruce is the superior fighter outta these two in close, so Batman takes H2H 7/10.

And if Batman can counter people's distance attacks when he doesn't even know they are there, he sure as hell can counter Gambit's cards when he's aware of 'em in the arena.

Gambit isn't really all that bright, either. Advantage goes to Batman for this battle.

Batman is the better h2h fighter, but Gambit wont be using just h2h so it doesn't matter.

Gambit not being bright is only your opinion and isn't backed up by anything shown in the comics...

Master Crimzon
Well, in terms of physical attributes, Batman generally has Gambit stomped (except for speed. I see them as sort of on par when it comes to speed- not enough for either of them to gain an advantage, anyways). Not only that, he is a far more talented and effective martial artist, who can easily be considered one of the greatest non-enhanced martial artists in comic book history; he knows multiple techniques that can be lethal, too, so if it's a bloodlust battle, he can off Gambit with one blow.

If they close up, that is. I think that in long-ranged combat, Gambit has too big an advantage; granted, Batarangs and ropes are cool, but Gambit has extremely powerful projectiles. Scary. And it looks like it's bad news for Batman in that category; unless he manages to get a smoke bomb in and drop Gambit with something like a non-modified Leopard Blow (that's the name, right?), Gambit simply has too big an advantage.

Overall, I'd say that Gambit takes this fight 7/10 times or so. If they close up, however, Batman can kill him before Gambit can charge him.

Batman throws 2-3 smoke grenades into Gambits direction as their both circling each other before the fight. Batman, at first would throw one at the ground as a distraction, then would end up behind him using his stealth/ninja training, and would throw the 2nd smoke grenade at Gambit, which Gambit dodges, but Batman throws the 3rd s-grenade into the air itself, to Gambits left and as Gambit leaps into mid-air, he accidently gets himself smacked in the face by the 3rd smoke grenade as they connect mid-air, thus blowing Gambits eye sight for awhile. Batman would then use his superior H2H skills/techniques and kick Gambits ass for good.

Try to go through this logic with me LOL.

I dont personally consider gambit as a street level fighter like I do bruce...isnt his stats peak human on the account of his interkinetic power. He has caught/dodged bullets, stood off agaisnt the top MAs in marvel and held his own so why assume the battle is in bats favor even up close. Gambit can also use his bio-kinetic power to charge any organic or inorganic matter within his line of sight...honestly from afar or up close bats is screwed.

With all those throws, why do you assume Gambit wont be throwing any of his MUCH more dangerous projectiles? And Gambit dances in gunfire, whats to assume he wont just bat those smoke 'nades away with his staff? afterall, he has far greater reflexes/agility/speed than the Batman.

CaptainStoic
I beg to differ Wolverine once took Gambit down within moments when he tried.

Batman is most assuredly Gambits superior physically, and the only thing that Gambit truly has on him is that he can charge items up.

Surely Batman can counter this cheap parlor trick with his gizmos to make this an even fight.

Gambit is not a murderer, when was the last time anyone has seen him charge a hero up because he was afraid to lose a fight? This isn't a point that anyone should attempt to dwell on.... it's really out of character for Remy to use such a tactic.

I've never seen Gambit as being more of a fighter than Nightwing, and Nightwing is outclassed in the fighting skills dept. when it comes to facing off against Batman. Batman is an A list street fighter Gambit is a C list fighter, down there with guys like Bullseye. Bold statement but true.

Batman is stronger, wiser, and has more tricks up his sleeve than Gambit could possibly handle.


Batman ftw

Which is why I said that Gambit is likely to take this fight; he's a metahuman. Bruce isn't.

In H2H combat, Bruce is as fast and far stronger and more durable than Gambit; one blow is all he needs to kill Gambit. A pressure point strike, for example, and Gambit is dead. He won't even have the chance to charge Batman if they go into H2H with Batman bloodthirsty.

gambit's endurace, strength, agility, reflexex and speed is SUPERHUMAN when he charges hiself biokinetically. meaning above batman. add to that the ability to charge anything in his line of sight, hypnotic charm, ability to convert himself to pure energy if need be, ability to heal his wounds in desperation by vibrating with kinetic energy etc etc etc, and you have a dead batman. but then again, if batman cudnt defeat gambit levellers in comics, well, he wudnt exist for long wud he. realistically, now way bats takes this. in an actual COMIC though, batman probably wins on account of "hes batman".

OneDumbG0
^ He charges himself biokinetically to increase his stats?

leonheartmm
^yes. thats how he can have the agility and reflexes to rather casually dodge and counter machinegun fire with his staff.

Thats higly unlikly since he can use his bio-kinetic power to give his stats a boast for a short period. He can avoid multiple machine fire with meta-level reflex,agility with the amped state. A charged punch throw quicker then a bullet is all he needs.

this is kinda like cyke vs bats,but i think cyke is slighter more formiddable.

batman FTM

Kinda like Bats vs. Cyclops in the sense they are both X-men, other then that not a lot of similarities.

Well, I didn't know if it was in character for him to do something like that, in the same way Nightcrawler doesn't teleport heads off like in AoA.

So you meant would he?

And if he didn't think it would kill Bats or if he thought Bats was going for a kill he would.

Batman has also avoided tons of bullets at once, including at almost point-blank range; he is also insanely agile (not Nightwing-agile, but still extremely agile), strong, and durable. Really, with his peak human stats and almost incomparable martial arts knowledge, you need to either have a sort of unique martial arts skill he doesn't have (Lady Shiva, Cassandra Cain) or have enhanced human attributes/meta-level abilities (Deathstroke). Can you give me a scan where Gambit demonstrated incredible speed in unarmed combat with a person far more skilled than he is? Batman's punches can also be logically quicker than a bullet.

In addition, all Batman needs is one strike to kill Gambit in hand-to-hand combat; Gambit needs to lay a hand on him in order to make Batman go KABOOM, and that seems rather tough, considering he is going up against one of the world's greatest martial artists, if not THE greatest martial artist; if you want a 'fair' comparison, Batman managed to compete with- and even occasionally defeat- Deathstroke the Terminator, who is not only infinitely more skilled and lethal than Gambit in H2H, but also has enhanced human attributes.

Gambit will not last more than a couple of seconds against a bloodthirsty Batman in pure Hand-to-Hand combat. Unless you can provide a scan where Gambit displays uncanny speed when fighting against a highly skilled combatant, Gambit simply has no attribute, gadget, or skill that allows him to last a significant amount of time against Batman in H2H.

That being said, however, Gambit's powerful mutant abilities (alpha-class?) and long-ranged ability should give him the win in an all-out fight more times than not. He's only screwed if it's H2H.

just to put it out there(i've seen some post claiming this).


nothing is superhuman about gambit besides his mutant power.not speed,agility,strength, etc etc.

I think hes mentioned in Xtreme Xmen and one of his own series that his powers amp his speed. In both cirumstances he was depowered, might be able to get the issue number later.

I got no scans though.

I got no scans though. Can he amp anything other than his agility? I'd like to see that, I know it's referecned in a handbook.

Sure he does.

I want to say Gambit. But I might have to give this to Batman. You just don't beat Batman.

I love Batman, but he gets pwned in any typical scenario versus Gambit unless he gets some prep time.

namorsubby
so what.......this is comic land we're talking about. considering the reasons outside of actual comics doesn't help.

gambit isn't too impressive and wouldn't even be a big knotch on batman's belt of victories.

Mindset
Anyway...

Gambit can and probably will win a majority.

namorsubby
why......because he just should????


batman FTW.....cause he gots the credentials.

Silent Guardian
okay Gambit should win I will agree with you. But Batman's feats and ingenuity are just unbelievable, honestly he schools guys who statistically should mop the floor with him any-day of the week. So although it might seem like gambit takes it. Batman is just a ridiculous hero who can almost do anything (dependent on the writer), so I will give it to Bats.

Bump.

*shrugs*

Batman takes the match 5/10 is pretty explanatory to me. Of the ten matches he is in, he wins five of them. Leaving the other five to be draws or victories in Gambit's favor.

Its pretty explanatory to me, too. If Batman wins five out of the ten matches, then Gambit also wins five of the ten matches. Thus, that's a 5/10 split each way/tossup/stalemate.

Which is cool. 'Cause its your opinion. I was just puzzled why you would say Batman wins when your math says he doesn't.

JakeTheBank
Batman winning 5/10 makes sense as far as math goes. He wins five of the battles, leaving the other five unaccounted for. Gambit could win those five, he could stalemate the five, or any combination in between.

As far as I'm concerned, when the whole #/10 is used, I figure if the characters have ten matches, than ________ wins # of said ten matches.

In any case, I also see where you're coming from.

That's very strange. stick out tongue The only tie I can possibly think of is a double KO scenario. That's....weird to me. stick out tongue

Well, if out of ten matches:

Batman beats Gambit
Batman beats Gambit
Batman beats Gambit
Batman beats Gambit
Batman beats Gambit
Batman draws/ties Gambit
Batman draws/ties Gambit
Gambit beats Batman
Gambit beats Batman
Gambit beats Batman

Then, yes, Batman wins overall, seeing as he has five clear wins over Gambit, and Gambit only has 3 clear wins over Batman. If we use that example.

Not with his barehands, I believe. He's deflected them out of the air with a batarang.
