This is ridiculous. Snake is a game character (yeah I know there are some comics too, but basically he IS a game character).
Different rules for game characters. Snake doesn't heal himself, the player heals Snake. Snake doesn't reload, the player reloads. Snake doesn't beat bosses, the player beats them (mostly with the aid of a walkthrough).
Oh yeah, Snake, as clever as he may be, can't hold a candle against Batmans intelligence, hasn't half as much experience and knows, hm, I don't know, 7 or 8 moves ?
Impressive lol.

Solid Snake is an expert free-climber, parachutist, and scuba diver with an extensive knowledge of martial arts, weapons, and an IQ of 180. He's damn good with a gun, has dodged bullets, single-handedly defeated bipedal, nuclear warhead-launching battletanks and superhuman enemies multiple times. He's known as the 'Man Who Makes the Impossible Possible' or somesuch.
He's got a chance against Batman, but he's less likely to win, I think. Batman 6-8/10.
Okay forget the free-climbing, parachuting and scuba diving, that is not gonna help him against Batman.
Extensive knowledge ? Are you sure ? I mean, very sure ? When I play with him - I played all three MGS and the third one rocked - I can use only a few moves. That's it.
He's not even on Punisher level with a gun.
Single-handedly with a big bazooka
Lol, that's just PR-talk.
Make that 9/10 and we have a deal.

You're basing a lot off of a game's "rules", whereas I'm just using what little bio information can be gleaned off of little plot documents and whatnot. There's a difference. Batman can't do 90% of the things he does in videogames, and thus, if you're going to use the virtual version of Snake, use the virtual version of Batman.
There's not much to go on as far as Snake goes, however.
That's correct, but I have a reason : Snake IS a game character and Batman IS a comic character.
It's not more than logic that we use the most known "versions" of the characters. If you have to believe everything we read about Snake... I can also create a website in which I write that Snake is the Ultimate Warrior. But that doesn't mean shit cause we sure don't see it in the games.
Snake is famous and popular in the games, so I'll use the games as a reference. Batman is famous and popular in the comics, so I'll use the comics as a reference.
But like I said, comparing game characters and comic characters is a very bad idea. Different rules.

The stuff I got a hold of is all from official Konami sources - books, etc.
Agreed on the rules thing. Snake isn't much of a comic character yet. With the MGS2 comic coming in October, which is supposedly going to be different from the game, we might see some stuff to actually use. At the moment, I don't know why he keeps being brought up here.
sure, snake can take on a military base full of terrorists, super-soldiers, and bipedal nuclear tanks. but in a 1on1 with batman, im going with bats. if snake has his codec he can talk to the guys and be on about the same strategic level. but bats is a better h2h fighter and his gadgets are better than snakes guns. this is a context thing. snake is perfectly trained as an INFILTRATOR. batman will win in a close proximity encounter.
Agreed. I think Snake's intelligent, experienced, and skilled enough to pull out at least one win, two or three if I really want to push my Snake fanboyism.
