Legion was the first to get his own TV show (for some inexplicable reason) so I guess he wins.

Now are we talking about book versions? Because having read the works of both original authors I have to say both characters are actually remarkably similar. Far more similar than most people might think. I dare say both characters are physically almost equal. But Conan has an edge in genetics and the benefit of actual martial combat training. (I haven't read all 26 Tarzan Novels so I don't know if he ever got any formal training)

EDIT: They'd probably be bros though. Conan is pretty hospitable to people who can keep up with him.

How about just Spectre vs The Syndicate since both of those organizations have been around for decades prior to those movies?

Alright since I've seen every Riddick movie, every Conan movie, read every original Conan story by Robert E Howard, and read a lot of the Conan comics I'm gonna chime in here.

First things first, Conan wins, period. Riddick is a hard man, and would no doubt be one of Conan's greatest challenges but Conan was the hardest man in a much harder world. As for strength, Conan is stronger. No contest, Conan is much, much, much, way WAY stronger. Riddick is quotes as knocking men 20 feet. I've seen Conan throw boulders the size of beds that far and turn over a car, long-way, engine side up. Riddick had to do some sort of weird gymnastic thing to break the handcuffs he was hanging from where Conan breaks chains just by flexing his muscles, and he does it at a rate you or I might eat popcorn. Point: Conan

Speed is going to be much closer, so close in fact I'm going to say it's about equal. People like to focus on Conan's strength but Howard was very clear no one he ever encountered was as fast or agile as him, not without employing some kind of magic anyway. Some here say Riddick was fast enough to kill the Lord Martial but if you watch that scene again it's clear that was more a matter of good timing, something Conan is more than capable of. Point: Draw

As for fighting ability both men seem to be somewhat untrained fighters who rely on natural physical ability, instinct and experience. (Conan was shown to have some basic training in his homeland). So we'll look at feats. Riddick has been shown to hold off a dozen or so men at a time. Conan has fought Thor to a draw, beaten Captain America, and held off an entire army guarding his back with a mountain made of the corpses of the men he already killed. Point: Conan

In stealth Riddick may have a slight edge merely because he tends to employ it more often. Conan tends to be more direct. Though it has to be remembered that Conan made his living a a burglar probably longer than anything else and I'm going to say Conan is better at detecting a sneaking person than Riddick is. Conan is the kind of guy who can smell you coming and snakes and wild cats have failed to sneak up on him. Now Riddick's magic night-vision eyes might be seen as an advantage and I won't argue against that but more importantly they are also a weakness, a weakness that have been exploited before. Conan has NO weaknesses. Point: Draw

In the category of survive-ability it's irrelevant as both men (assuming the complication of the toxic atmosphere is removed from the equation) could easily survive the environment itself. Point: Draw

So the points are Conan: 5, Riddick: 3

Winner: Conan

Round 1: Batman, if I remember doesen't he know 127 different martial arts? I don't see Connor beating that.

Round 2: Again probably Batman, I don't think Connor's arrows will be able to pierce Batman's armour.

So even though I'm a massive AC fan I still think Batman has the victory.

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." -Bruce Lee

I know this is an old topic but I was just thinking about this myself. As to the quote above 127 martial arts styles isn't better than one good style mastered completely. One good (Practical) style of martial arts can be practiced more thoroughly than a great number of them. This is even somewhat referenced in Batman Begins when Ra's Al Ghul dismantles Bruce's different martial arts styles upon reaching the temple. (Though I will give the caveat that he was exhausted)

In addition Connor is easily the most OP of any of the AC main protagonists. His stealth is on par with the rest, he's a better climber than most of the others being faster and able to climb natural structures, and his fighting is so much better than the others players actually complained about it. I am able to stand in the middle of a red coat fort, in the open, and kill every soldier there (Usually between 20 and 40) without taking a single hit. And I can do it consistently. He's also the most powerfully built of any AC protagonist looking to be about the same build as most depictions of Batman. His backstory even reflects Bruce Wayne's somewhat. He IS the revolution period Batman. But he kills a lot more people. Even keeping in mind I'm a huge Batman fan and he is far and away my favorite comic character I'm splitting this one right down the middle. Batman vs Eagleman is 50/50, too close to call.

It was great. I had no problem with the killing of Zod

Only dumb part was Pa Kent choosing to die.

Agreed, that was really the only part I hated. This movie added a lot of emotional and moral vulnerability to a physically invulnerable character and I for one see that as a positive.

People seem to be assuming that Joker would have nothing prepared for Bullseye. Even if he didn't know Bullseye was coming Joker would have something prepared for Batman which would likely work.

He's Deeply psychotic but has a full understanding of the world and right vs wrong. What is unique about him is he is a man without a shadow. He has no part of his personality that he suppresses or denies. He is not only fully aware of the darkest parts of his personality, he actively embraces them. That is one of the things that makes him so popular. He does what he wants, when he wants, not regrets.
