Quanchi was playing SoTN, got inside the castle and died very rapidly after entering (he was playing as Alucard), so The Godd@mned Batman loots his dessicated corpse and goes on to own the castle and everything in it (The Grim Reaper attempts to take Batman's gear, but 1 swift Batkick to the groin put the Grim One down for good)...
The Godd@mned BATMAN (the same guy who would own Thanos like a cheap whore) wins 10/10...

symphony of the night was my all time favorite ps1 game
depending on his route, he might uncover a decent chunk of the castle by avoiding many of the monsters, but without alucard's unlimited leveling up, even regular monsters like the outer tower knight would be too much for him. he'd never make it past the likes of olrox, scyla and galamoth.
edit: if the relycs work for him and he gest mist form, he might explore further. but hed still need to level up to have enough mana to use mist form and defend against the stronger bosses like galamoth.
I think that he will be in the good side of the Librarian (if he ever makes it there), that guy loves money, and who has more money than our DC billionaire.
I don't understand why people are giving SotN as the goto choice for the Castlevania Castle (whatever "SotN" is). Why not the one from Circle of the Moon?
I'm also not really understanding what supposedly keeps Batman from leveling up, however that is defined, as pretty much every character I've seen in a game does so.
Ignoring this however, and note, my point of reference is still Circle of the Moon, I am not sure why Batman would need magic to survive this. One of the play options in the Circle of the Moon is to play as a person in the "Fighter" class, that is, a character without truly significant magical resources.
Why would Batman not succeed as THAT class of character?
What makes Batman different from the fighter version of a Castlevania character that I'm missing?
SoTN = Castlevania Sympony of the Night
The First BELMONT, Leon is said to be a MASTER WARRIOR, maybe more than or equal to BATMAN (Debatable). He has one thing that BATMAN never has the PLOT DEVICE WHIP called "VAMPIRE KILLER" a bane to all vampires and almost impossible to replicate (providing the requirements necessary).

Funny thing is I was thinking of that Bane quote halfway reading threw your comment and BAM you beat me to the punch. I'll give Batman the credit he deserves, he is smart and skilled enough to survive the lesser foes and traps of the castle but there are alot of high level threats between him and his end goal.. Never mind his end goal in itself is a mighty high hurdle to clear.
Not saying he dies within a few steps of entering the castle... Just when he does meet his end it will be HORRIFIC... And possibly slow if his 'bat' motif is taken as mockery (that is if he gets that far )
Superman? If by 'take' Castlevania Castle you mean level it from orbit, then yeah.
Superman fully charged.. I currently can't remember any plot device or situation that would rob him of his solar charge. He is just as weak against magic as anyone else but he has overcome such things. I think he could do it. Not like he would hold back like their bank robbers.
Perhaps people are forgetting -- most Castlevania games are all but littered with effective subweapons like crosses, silver daggers, axes, and holy water.
Even a layman can theoretically use these to great effect, and Batman, even in the comics, has actually used such objects to fight both extraterrestrial and supernatural opponents.
He has obtainable weapons to hurt these people, in other words.
And such weapons, again, are mentioned as being in abundance for the scenario we're considering, unless I am very much mistaken in my understanding of the language in the first post.
Then too, this thread didn't specify this had to be the Symphony of the Night,
but I seem to remember seeing at least one of the Castlevania's advertised online where the Castle itself also had booby traps that could be used by a clever enough player to defeat some opponents.
If that was indeed SotN (Remigio, thank you for translating the acronym for me) I cannot see Batman NOT being enough of a strategist to accomplish great things.
I'll look up some YouTube videos concerning Symphony of the Night gameplay.
If this were Circle of the Moon, a perfectly good Castlevania Castle to use, I think, I'd give Batman, especially with the map provided, better than 50/50 odds, especially given that non-magic fighters are more or less demon-busting tanks in that game, and that the super-effective throwing crosses of the CotM game
(which are fully 50% MORE effective than the vampire-killer whip, I should add) are significantly more plentiful than Bruce's own batarangs.
I'm really truly not seeing where great impediments to Batman's survival would be coming from yet, not given what Bruce has already faced before, including, as someone mentioned before, Dracula himself.
Show me something from a video of SotN to change my mind, please.
