they fight in an empty city at night, no prep time

Gambit: dis gonna be easy...a few cards and da Batman man is..where did he go? *Batman drop kicks him from behind*
Batman: don't talk so much in Battle swamp rat!

Batman loses much like Cap.

Batman cape absorbs explosion...if it don't it should.

Gambit is lame. But he wins.

Batman could eat Gumbo for breakfast.

I just remembered this has been done before. Long range Gambit has way more projectiles and they're as destructive as he wants to make them. Close range Gambit has superhuman agility and can just charge Batman's suit to explode. He also has "charm power" that would probably work on Batman considering his... leanings... shifty

yeah but it'd give him gas by noon.

Gumbo does not have any other super-powers other than charging.
Unless there is some stupid new secondary mutation nonsense you're referring to....
in that case......batman has power cosmic.....nyah.
Draco69
I think Gambit has telepathy now...no seriously he does.
Zahit
Batman is from Krypton.
TheKahn
I think all Gambit needs is the "charm" power. All I'm saying is that Batman seems to have a thing for lads in tights
illadelph12
^Exactly.
Batman did design those Robin suits himself...
TheKahn
Maybe that is why everyone in D.C. is scared of Bats. They are worried about what exactly he does in his "Bat Cave" with a bunch of adolescents

Maybe when he says "Batcave", he's talking about a different kind of 'cavern'...
Metalmanx
Gambit does indeed have other mutations besides his kinetic charging. He has superhuman agility and reflexes as well as the mutant ability to charm. It's all true.
I think Batman would be a bit outmatched here. Gambit's definitely no slouch in the hand-to-hand department either. I think he'd give Bats a good run for his money...then steal his money after he lays him out.

Unless there is some stupid new secondary mutation nonsense you're referring to....
in that case......batman has power cosmic.....nyah. Powers: Gambit is a mutant: one whose genetic structure has been mutated since conception. Gambit's most obvious and visually spectacular mutant power takes the potential energy in any object and excites the molecules (i.e. electrons, quarks, etc., physics people take your pick) in it into kinetic energy which is usually explosive. He generally prefers smaller objects as larger objects take more time to "charge" and are harder to throw with accuracy. Plus this is usually more than enough power to take out most foes and if he wants, Gambit can partially charge an object to reduce the amount of energy released. This makes Gambit exceptionally powerful if need be with the only limitations being time, Gambit's will, and moving the object to the target. A larger object, like the anchor he and Storm used on the Phalanx in Uncanny X-Men #313, would be devastating against any foe.
For the most part, Gambit has been shown to have excellent control over this power and has used it in many different ways. For instance, in an issue of X-Men Unlimited, he charged up a container until it just disappeared... his own form of "recycling". In one of the Wolverine appearances, he shot Wolverine 50 feet in the air by cupping his hands and "charging away", which would seem to imply he charged the immediate air molecules, so when Wolverine put his foot in Gambit's hands... up he went. During the X-Men's Shi'ar adventure against the Phalanx, he charged a door and hit it to make the door explode to get it out of the way. Recently, he has developed his powers to the extent that he can create time-delay charges - charge an item so that it explodes entire minutes later.
However, his control over his powers has not always been as perfect or as complete. The level at which he uses them is a bare fraction of their actual potential - for example, he can charge organic matter as Mystique discovered in Gambit #21 and charge objects by simply looking at them as he did in Gambit #17-19. However, he can barely control them at their full power, and they rage unchecked unless he exerts self-control, remains calm and concentrates. For this reason, he went to Sinister for a cure, and ended up leading the Marauders to the Morlock Massacre. It appears that Sinister took out something from Gambit to reduce or dampen his powers; something that Gambit needed to reimplant to return to the present from his sojourn in Victorian England in Gambit #14. More mature, Gambit can control it better now, but still battles to do so when he was emotionally upset or uptight.
Gambit usually charges objects by touching them with his hands (sometimes through gloves, i.e. ones with all the fingers intact). But he can use other parts of his body to charge objects. He uses his tongue to charge gum in Gambit #1. He uses his "tush" to charge the console in Gambit #2. As noted above, he does not strictly need to touch objects to charge them. Line-of-sight charging is a possibility, and, indeed, in his early appearances, he seemed to charge his throwing spikes with his eyes.
It is also generally accepted that Gambit's inhuman speed and agility are part of his mutant power, although Gambit loves games of all kinds and is an excellent athlete as well. This point is most prominently implied in X-Men #4, where a no-powers basketball game went awry because Rogue used her power of flight, arguing that it was fair because Gambit could well be using his mutant agility and they wouldn't know for sure.
Gambit has dodged or deflected bullets and other objects thrown at him. While Rogue had his power after their first kiss, it was also implied that his speed, reflexes, and his need to be on the move and doing things continuously was related to a high energy metabolism associated with his mutation.
It has long been hinted that Gambit also has some type of "psionic" abilities and this has been called his "charm" power on occasion. There have been implications that it could be empathic in nature and the exact strength of it is unknown. When Gambit was first introduced, it was hinted that Gambit could possibly hypnotize people with words or body language. In Uncanny X-Men #266, the story suggests that Gambit's ability to smooth talk people went beyond sex appeal or the gift of gab. After Dr. Shen nearly succumbs to Gambit's charm, she angrily says, "So many pretty words you spoke. But far worse, the hints dropped, the promises made without words. That wasn't nice. I enjoy temptation. But I won't be trifled with." In a previous panel, the Shadow King says, "Very snappy patter, my young friend. I dare say, given a decent opportunity... you might seduce even me." This would seem to imply that there was some influence involved since the Shadow King is a powerful psion. Of course, there is also nothing to say Gambit isn't just good at seduction because of what his power and experiences have allowed him to know about people as well. Gambit's understanding Wolverine's personality allowed him to win their game, for instance, but there definitely is some power there.
Similarly, in issue #3 of the first Gambit Limited Series, on Page 16, Candra tells him, "Do not try your Cajun charm, mutant! It does nothing for me...." Again, on page 29, we are treated to Remy, up close to Candra, giving her one of his grins. She just has a dopy, glazed over look in her eyes. He then kisses her, to which she replies: "Get out of my sight, thief... before I come to my senses and have you killed." While kissing her, he manages to extricate a vial from the cleavage of her very tight bodice, which that either something was going on mentally, the man is downright magnificent with his hands, or that was one heck of a kiss! Or all of the above; take your pick.
There is no indication how strong this power is but Gambit obviously has at least decent control over it. If he does have the ability to "charm" people, he obviously has respected and cared about the X-Men enough to not use his power to influence them. Otherwise, he'd never have had to endure the distrust they have frequently thrown at him.
Another side-effect of this "charm" power seems to be a primitive form of shielding or psionic static, before we first see Gambit in that issue, the Shadow King attempts to telepathically look for Storm and makes the following statement: "Interesting. My telepathy seems unable to lock onto her psyche. Some form of mental interference." This comment is followed by a scene showing Storm and Gambit together. In Gambit #8, Gambit is again able to hide from such powerful telepaths as Xavier and Jean Grey by merely charging a card. This suggests that his charm power is tied into his biokinetic powers, although the connection has not yet been fully explained other than by vague references to a biokinetic aura in Gambit #16.
There have been other indications of this psionic/empathic type power. When Psylocke rudely scanned Gambit's mind right after he awakened from a coma, he was able to psychically sneak up on her in the astral plane and cut her off from further invasion of his privacy, something Psylocke asserts shouldn't have been possible. Gambit also knew someone (his adopted brother) had snuck into the mansion when the security systems had not detected him and no one else knew. Possibly an emotional signature or some type of awareness.
Gambit also seems to be very sympathetic and understanding to other people's emotions when he wants to be and cool and aloof when he doesn't, leaning even more toward implying an empathic type power. http://www.gambitguild.com/ (And i'm not saying he wins,just trying to show people to take him a bit more seriously)
Mainstream
but you saying Batman wins right?
jplatinum
No, he stands a chance, but he probably will die.
Gambit is probably the best fighter on x-men next to wolverine.
I put him ahead of colossus.
Gambit also is peakhuman or above in abilities, and can even use his powers to augment his abilities to low level superhuman.
He is crafty and cunning and he can as they say, "Charge de card then blow it de **** up!"
Batman gets knocked around worse then when he fought john paul valley.
snoopdogg
Gambits fighting skills are only at a 3 on the Marvel power grid boys.
Thats not gonna get it done with Batman.

Gambit can indeed charge organic matter, I think he just chooses not to.
He doesn't even need to hit him with card (though he could, especially since he has so many). Gambit can charge Batman's suit up and watch him explode with all the pretty colors.
snoopdogg
Gambit cannot charge organic matter. I know this for a fact.
You think hell get close enough to Batman to hold his suit long enough to charge it?
Hmmm...... interesting.

Not impossible. I do think that Gambit would have a much easier time hitting Bats w/the cards though and If I remember right, Gambit has charged some objects up by just lookin @ 'em

Gambit can charge organic materials. Again, he just chooses not to because he doesn't have the same control over it.
And it takes just mere contact for him to charge Batman's cape. Freakin milliseconds.

Gambits eyes are a weakness against Batman also. Plus I think Batman is more accurate with the Batarangs than Gambit is with those playing cards.

...The hell? Why are Gambit's eyes a weakness against Batman?
Actually, I'd go so far as to say that Gambit's accuracy with his cards exceeds Batman's with his batarangs. Gambit has been doing what he's been doing (even before he got his powers when he was just a very young child, mind you) since before Batman started training himself.

Think about it this way. Take a card and try and hit something with it. Now take something that is designed and meant for throwing say a chinese star and throw it. Which one is gonna be more accurate?

Last time I checked, Batman uses batarangs, not Throwing Stars.
And either way, have you seen professional card throwers? They're accurate as hell. I've seen a guy throw a card and hit an apple so hard it lodged itself deep into it. From the throw. That's just the power, too.
Card throwing is extremely accurate.
StyleTime
I'm going with Gambit here. Yes I am a Gambit fan but he really does have most of the advantages here. Batman is smarter but I don't think that will help much with no prep time. Batman might try sneaking but Gambit is pretty good in that area as well. Batman could throw gadgets but Gambit has dodge bullets and deflected them before so I think he could handle gadgets. Batman would be overwhelmed by the explosions as well since this city is empty Gambit won't mind blowing whatever up.
Could Batman just be outclassed here?
jplatinum
Hell, gambit can charge anything batman can throw at him.
That is unless batman can throw shit faster than a bullet now.
Wow when did he get that new power?
Oh I forgot he doesn't.
Face it.
Gambit will kill him.

Is that a new power or something?
8bitChris
There is no way Batman throws his batarangs with more accuracy than Gambit. Gambit makes a living out of it.
He's also fast enough and accurate enough to hit a trip wire on small nuclear bomb at 50 feet before the person holding it can even react enough to push the button and destroy it.
Oh man...if I had my scanner working.
Oh and Gambit wins. That kick Batman gave to the Hulk that knocked the wind out the "the Hulk" for crying out loud was sheer stupidity. Anyone who supports that cross-over has no business on any Wolverine hate threads.

Hints place him as the best or one of the best in the Marvel Universe and quite capable of getting into, out of, and stealing almost anything without the use of his mutant powers. Gambit is an expert in hand-to-hand fighting especially the use of a bo staff and has incredible aim with throwing objects. Gambit has shown his bravery in battle on numerous occasions. Gambit has also been shown to be very cunning and willing to pick and choose his battles if possible. Hence the name, Gambit. http://www.gambitguild.com/index.php?q=node/1

No prep time and an empty city...eh...gotta give this to Gambit. Batman won't know that he can charge stuff, that he has a superhuman agility enhancement and so forth, so he gets taken advantage of. Gambit wins, but Batman puts up a hell of a fight.

I remember seeing somewhere that Gambit's eyes are photosensitive. I've only seen it once so I don't know if it's true or not.
Still won't help Batman either way.
cajun2de
gambit wins aft a long tactical battle
Tshern
Not that accurate? Righto, perhaps hitting a target with a diameter of 1 millimeter from some 30 meters away in 0,25 seconds isn't that impressive.
At least once has he catched a bullet. After that he charged it and threw it back.
Gambit could just level the street under Batman or charge Batman's hands when they are fighting.

Honestly I haven't seen anything from those scans that Gambit hasn't done before. He has hit objects very far away, hit Hawkeye's arrows out of the air and even used stuff like toothpicks and paper clips like he was Bullseye. Im not sayin He would win, or that he would lose but i think that he's better with projectiles than Batman
Kontraz
im going with gambit. batman *might* be better in hand to hand combat, but without prep time, he wouldnt be aware of gambits powers. as soon as gambit touches any part of his costume, its bye-bye batty
RogerRamjet
Batman of course, Gambits powers are of no use, if Bats doesn't let him touch any part of his costume, some guys always underestimate Batmans ability to improvise...
marvelprince
That's right, Batman also won't be expecting Gambit to be superhuman fast and agile. He'll pick up on it pretty quickly, but then again just realizing won't help him win.
Also how would Batman's ability to improvise help him here. He can't get too close cause Gambit will probably charge him up, but he won't be able to do much from afar since Gambit is deadily accurate with those cards
Kontraz

when bats fights, he doesnt fight like spider-man jumping and dodging any and all physical blows. he grabs wrists, blocks incoming attacks, etc. gambit would have PLENTY of opportunities to touch part of his costume, thus charging it and leaving a crispy critter formerly known as bats

You're totally right, Batman would get wasted by Gambit
cajun2de
yea and gambit usually charges up his Adamantium Bo-staff and fights close range
CaptainStoic
I have to go with Batman on this, remember back in the days of Justice League Europe when Guy Gardner got his face punched in by Bats... LOL! Well he's a Green Lantern.
CaptainStoic
But then again reading about Gambit and his abilities to bust Bats a** with that staff has it's merits too.
Metalmanx
Yea. Gambit would win this one.
Arahan
Totally agree. Gambit is a beast. Batman is gay.
Put them together and you have a Gambat

killphil
Are you saying Gambit can catch bullets or objects flying at the velocity of a bullet?
He did in X-Men(1991 series)#1. He caught the bullet, charged it and threw it back. It was against one of the Acolytes.
That is innaccurate. Gambit has no sensitivity to light. He was blinded, yes, but that was due to a card going up in his face, and it was the explosion that blinded him. The reference you are thinking of came from the X-Men handbook which is full of errors like this. They also rated Gambit's fighting skills as 3 and his energy as 2, but they have always been rated 5 and 3 respectively every where else. Gambit has been shown to be skilled enough in fighting to stalemate Daredevil.
Now I'm a Gambit fan, and as logical as it seems that Gambit would win, I still have to go with Batman here. Why? Cuz he's Batman. If that fight ever were to happen, I just don't see Gambit pulling it off.
