Cad Bane vs Batman

The fight takes place in the shipyards of Gotham City. The fight is to the death or KO. For those of you who don't know Cad Bane he was (in my opinion) second best bounty hunter (next to Durge) during the Clone Wars. It took both Masters Kenobi and Vos to defeat him. He managed to steal a Jedi holocron form the Jedi temple. And he has some nifty gadgets. I'm sure none of you need me telling you who Batman is. Batman is equipped with his usual arsenal and Cad Bane is fitted with his (duel BlasTech LL-30 blaster pistols, jetpack thrusters, flamethrower, non-lethal stunners, and cable launcher. 

Personally i would have to say Batman for this one, because of his intellect, and just all around skill

I'd actually like to see this turn into something better.

Since it looks like many people don't know him, here's one example of Cad in action:

Also, any Embo fans out there? I noticed he doesn't even have a profile.

Embo is ftw. He's kicks ass with his hat Captain America style.

If Cad kept a distance, I could see him taking a majority.

@Deranged Midget: It seems in character for him to try and keep a distance.

Indeed and if that's the case, Bruce is going down.

Batman, because Cad Bane sucks.

@Fetts: @JediXMan: Eh, Cad has had both good and bad showings, IMHO. I think his tech and dirtier tactics make him rather dangerous at times, but it seems like it's very circumstantial for him. (location, starting distance, etc)

@JediXMan: ....It took both Quinlan and Obi-Wan to defeat Cad Bane. If they hadn't teamed up one of them would have most likely died.

@Silver2467: It seems like he played possum once he was dropped just so he could electrocute her (he was also the one who disarmed her ;) ). Like I said, the guy has a fair amount of feats in the impressive and not-so impressive range. It makes him tough to judge, but I think in an open environment and ample starting distance he'd pose quite a threat.

Just so people can see what we're discussing:

(begins around 0:50)

@Silver2467: I don't agree that the droid "saved" him repeatedly. It distracted Quin for a moment during a melee and allowed him to sweep/knock him off the ledge, but it's entirely up for debate what would have happened (in the confines of the cartoon, of course) otherwise. Cad could have electrocuted him, flown/jumped to another ledge, or indeed he could have lost. When the droid attacked Obi Wan it was barely a fraction of a second and ended with a simple force push. Obi and Cad weren't even engaging at this time. Could you dispute that this mere fraction of a second allowed Cad to fly away? Sure (not to mention Cad didn't fly away until after that happened), but I believe it's equally feasible to believe the same would have happened without the droid, too. It's rather CIS induced since Obi was merely staring down at him, but to believe he could have flown away without that droid stepping in his hardly one of the more far-fetched situations presented and not hard for me to swallow at all.

Eh, I imagine quite a few encounters would be easily resolved if they always took the most effective route (using the force) ;)

(I'm still shaking my fist over Grievous falling to Gungans, lol)

Regardless, I personally don't believe Batman's reflexes are as good as Obi's, nor does he have the luxury of a weapon to deflect incoming fire. In the open environment of Gotham City I think this could be a good fight to watch (with solid starting distance of course). I can see either taking it, really. Cad needs to play it smart and focus on his distance and tech. If he does that, I think it's possible for him to win. However, if he takes it in close range, it's too likely for Batman to ragdoll him while he's using his jetboots (line around the ankles, for example) or just to completely school him. In that scenario, Cad could take a win or two from a dirty last resort via electricity, but it's more likely Bat's would flat-out KO him if he came down to close range.

We're in agreement that it's false to believe Cad can beat two Jedi (or even one). But that's not my point, nor was it ever (you're at odds with Fetts on that, not me). I presented that video because, in my opinion, it's the best video to use for the character because it shows a majority of his equipment put to use. That way people know what he's bringing to the table and can form their own conclusions.

I knew this was coming.

Blah, you guys just reminded me how much I hate the Cartoon Series.

Cad was also beaten up by an unarmed Ahsoka. So no, he would not beat Obi-Wan or Quin.

TCW, the show whose reputation for disregarding continuity is comparable to the entire Legacy era, The Force Unleashed, and The Old Republic.

Batman.

I'm sure if he used his weapons he could have taken her.

At that that close distance? Unlikely.

For what it is, the show itself is not that bad. The reason it bothers me is less because of its story, animation, or character quality and more because of how it affects continuity. Setting aside its placement in SW canon, I really can't fault TCW for its delivery because it is aimed at a much younger audience.

@Fetts: Just because it was intended for younger audiences doesn't mean I have to like it.

@Silver2467: I know, I just wanted to clarify that because his desire to write a blog was interpreted by me as justifying the series.

On iPhone so this will be brief: Point is there are a lot of possible scenarios w the first example, one being him losing in a variety of ways. Based on what was taking place, i dont view jumping away as any less likely, either. It looks like we're on the same page with the rest, which I'm grateful for because typing on this thing is a pain.

If plot points were inconsequential then it would have ended in mere seconds, lol. You too.

I wish Embo had more showings.

Going to be honest: I don't really care about feats. I just know anything related to the Clone Wars show is crap.

@JediXMan: :(

Batman

I'd say Cad Bane takes a majority. He has the feat of going toe to toe with two Jedi at once, and has better mobility and ranged weapons, faster weapons etc.

Going with Batman

Cad keeps a distance and guns him down. If it gets to CQC, Batman wins.

Embo though, by feats he speedblitzes.

Good match actually. Probably Batman, he has the edge H2H and in this environment he can definitely close the distance.

Without prep, Bats is up against a faster opponent with superior gear. Even if it gets CQC, Cad has ways of getting out of that perdicament and once again taking the advantage(though how much that'll work is debatable).

Either way, I suppose.

Cad bane would speedblitz de palpatine let alone rots palpatine let alone any jedi let alone batman

mismatch

Bane breaks his back again

Cad if he keeps his distance.

batman beats another unremarkable enemy.
