Batman vs. Link

Why not?

DC comics Batman (New 52) vs Link from Twilight Princess.

Fight takes place in the main ceremony room of the Thugee cult from Temple of Doom.

Batman and Link start on opposite sides of the lava trench, with Batman being on the side of the statue shrine of Kali.

Link has all of his upgrades, Batman is at full health.

Winner by KO.

....haermm

I'm bored.

Sue me.

😛

Twilight Princess Link is class 100+ with the durability to take an axe to the face from a superhuman with no damage. Soooo, yeaaaaaah...

Batman isn't exactly a normal human, since DC's definition of peak human is warped beyond recognition, but he is way out of his league here.

While a good thematic match, since Link is basically the Batman of gaming with all his gizmoes, a little one sided.

Batman destroys him. Not even trolling.

Bats would disarm Link and shove his precious MS right in his rectum before Link even knew what was going on.

Fo serious. What happens is that at the start of the fight Batman leaps into the shadows and tosses some knock-out gas at Link. Link might power through it for a time and flail around looking for him, but Bats is ****ing gone and eventually he just keels over.

Even if thats not the case Batman can easily knock Link into the magma pit in the middle of the room. Batman takes on tougher opponents than Link on a weekly basis, this ain't no challenge.

I'm sure that Batman could just take Link in a straight-up fight.

Knock out gass <gale boomerang
Batman judo throw <iron boots
Also batman can't use the master sword.
... I'm honestly torn though.

not even a contest.. link dies

Grats, Neph and AG, you've got someone convinced Batman stands a chance here. Do you want your pat on the back now, or later? 😛

The only serious argument for Link losing that could be made is that he accidentally kills Batman and is DQ'd.

Even TP can't tank lava. Batman is probably smart enough to toss him in.

That's assuming Batman can even knock Link in. (Pro tip, the one carryin roughly 80 tons of equipment (Iron boots, ball and chain, spinner, clawshots, ect.) and with the strength to toss stone giants is not the one who is going to be moved in a grapple. Link could legitimately fold Batman up like a paper airplane and get a good mile of distance with him.

Doesn't the zora armor make you MORE weak to lava?
Link only sinks wheb wearing the boots, so I don't think the inventory has any affect on his weight. And batman doesn't need to throw him, he has tripping balls and ice pellets if I remember right.

Yes, the Zora armour makes you vulnerable to heat. Falling into lava wearing it gives you a gameover. Unless Link is, for some reason, wearing the Zora armour while fighting Batman, if Batman, somehow, tosses Link, who is physically superior to him in every way, and Links many tons of gear, into the lava, he's coming back out, mad. Worse, Batman is going in with him, since Link's grip is too strong for Batman to break.

Ice pellets in a room with a lava trench in it? I don't even know what you mean by tripping balls, bolas? Not strong enough to bind Link's feet together, he'd just snap the cord.

Batman is in a terrible position in this thread. He's on the opposite side of a lava trench from an enemy who is too durable for him to hurt, too heavy for him to move, and who happens to have a ranged weapon that can fire arrows hard enough to destroy diamonds. And none of his available gizmoes are of any use.

At range, Bats dies. Up close, Bats dies.

Hammerspace and you know it.

Yeah, good thing for Link that Batmans never fought anyone physically superior to him oh wait.

Lava = gameover regardless of tunic.
You knows little marbles that he throws and people trip on, maybe it was just in the cartoon.
Link IS NOT as heavy as his inventory. It's one of the great mysteries of zelda but true.

Not that this matters, because unlike Batman, Link would survive. Trying to throw Link in will just get him dragged along and killed. The idea that Batman even survives within sword range is hilarious.

@Your second point: Good thing Batman at least had ways to deal with them, he doesn't have that with Link. He can't hurt Link, he can't incapacitate Link, he can't keep away from Link. His only real option here is to run.

Edit: Wait, your argument was he tries to get Link to slip on marbles?

I'm sorry, I thought we were debating TP link, not LoZ/AoL link. You know, the link that came after the iron boots and the use of hammer space.

He may not be able to hurt link on his own, but he has a whole river of hylian cooking lava that would help.

What? Marbles are trippy 🙁
