    @SexualLobster: Brilliant

    It may be buried in this thread somewhere but Swamp Thing is probably the best example of Batman getting his ass handed to him despite extreme prep. He equipped the batmobile with chainsaws and flamethrowers and possibly brought along napalm but got beaten badly. It was by the great Alan Moore so he wasn't going to give Bruce a free meal ticket.

    Batman fanboys are SO annoying. Of course he is going to win in HIS OWN COMIC. The writers BULLSHITTED it that way. It would be impossible for him to win against most of the superheroes people are pitting him against. I could write and draw it so that freakin' Skin could beat Batman, and you would have a fit. You see how ridiculous that sounds? That is how Batman fanboys look like to everyone else. Also, just because you beat someone once, doesn't mean you can do it again. The whole writing behind Batman is the sole definition of PIS - he spends all his time doing stimulations and preparing for the most unlikely scenarios yet still has a multi-million dollar company; he is in his 30's yet has mastered all these things = BS. Batmans cool and all, but its the wack job fans that make you hate him - it's worse than the Wolverine fans!

    Thor can do a front-flip summer-salt into the air, while winding up the might Mjolnir for a swing, and then landing right in front of Batman while swinging the hammer down with the force proportional to a monster truck squashing a rabbit. When Mjolnir makes contact with Batman's skull, the force is so powerful that it literally breaks Batman in half vertically, insides spewing out like a jelly doughnut.

    Thor can beat Batman with absolutely zero preparation. In fact, it is insulting to Thor to even ask this question and not include him in the "exceptions" that you made in the OP.

    Assuming he had limitless prep, he could not defeat the following:

    Mindless Hulk.

    Phoenix

    Galactus

    The Living Tribunal

    The One above all

    Beyonder

    Franklin Richards

    Eternity

    Infinity

    Thanos

    Death

    Silver Surfer

    With limited prep...it varies.

    "Prep Time" is a BS excuse to give Batman a win without any real logic. It's basically saying "Well Batman is going to prepare for this fight so he's going to win"

    Doctor Doom (superior technology, magic)

    Thanos

    Manhattan

    Galactus

    Thor?

    and other powerful..

    I do not think it has serious problems against Reed Richards, as I firmly believe that Batman is higher in the strategy, the factor that matters most in a fight. Richards is better than just a scientific level.

    The most powerful members of the JLA, has already proven they can beat, although he would always serious problems against Superman.

    Look who is crying now because someone pointed out the true facts about Batman brown nosers. If logic plays no role, then your logic of Batman winning all the time in every scenario doesn't apply. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Do not forget that Superman has a strong weakness of kryptonite and Batman as well know now very well, it also has a substantial amount in his Batcave. For Batman, it would be much more difficult to devise a plan to fight Thor.

    Kryptonite or not, Superman could finish the fight before Batman can do much of anything. He doesn't need to stand there next to him either. He's also not doing anything to the Flash or Wonder Woman no matter how much prep time you give him imo.

    The problem when people think about these things is just comparing physical ability to do something and never take into account that more than likely there is always going to be an aspect that falls into how this or that person is going to act.

    Tim Drake could likely beat Bruce Wayne.

    Illogical and/or unpredictable people could beat him.

    Other than that, noone could defeat Batman Ultimately

    ya if you actually look at it right. batman shouldnt be able to beat superman. but, unfortunatly for us superman fans the majority of the comic book crowd and even the non-comic book crowd says he can.

    This edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:
