    Stop putting him up against super strong characters like Sabertooth and the Lizard.  He's gonna lose badly every time. 
     
    This is a guy who loses to humans in hand to hand all the time.  He doesn't even have super strength.  He's just a big guy who looks kinda like a crocodile. 
     
    Now back to your regularly scheduled whatever.

    Seconded, Zoom. I have the same complain myself. But people should still include everyone they wish to in battles, I guess...

    He is supposedly taller and more strongly built there, so people seem to think he is more of a threat because of that...

    I swear I was thinking of that exact episode when I posted my comment.  Specifically, the "I threw a rock at him" bit.   That's uncanny.

    Reasonable justification. It's almost like Hush-Croc was a different character altogether, from what I gather...

    What I was saying is, most battles Bane is thrown in he's stuck fighting against people like Colossus,the Thing, Juggernaut,Hulk and others. Some people don't realize that he's a street leveler and nothing more.

    ummm, no. I think Bane could fight Superman with the proper planning, but overall, he'd probably lose every time. Bane's strength is nothing compared to every super-strong character. His strategy and intelligence make him a great villain.

    He is a damn beast in Arkham Asylum. The only reason Batman survives against him is because he's wearing a shock collar, and he only BFRs Croc anyways because everything else he has does nothing to him. He's eleven feet tall, weighs 590 pounds in the game and goes through walls, bigass pipes, etc, as if they were nobody's business and instant kills you if he comes within five feet.
     
    If it only didn't take one tactic to keep him away, he'd be terrifying (but he is anyways, for the first few minutes).
     
    Other than that, and maybe Hush, I hear he's pretty much a joke everywhere, which is sort of sad. A writer could very easily make him someone dangerous.

    Oh yeah:
     

    No Caption Provided

    There seems to be some misinformation on this. This guard (Aaron Cash) did not beat Killer Croc in hand-to-hand. He was actually scared to hell and back and was saved at the last second when Croc was shot with tranquilizer. Now, maybe he did it at some other time, but as far as I know (and I haven't finished Living Hell yet, I'm on issue five), he never did......and Croc bit off his hand the first time they "fought", whilst attacking something like a dozen other guards. And being restrained by chains.

    yes but isnt Croc the master of 107 different fighting arts, has bulletproof skin, and can regenerate from
    being reduced to a puddle of blood in half of a nanosecond?

    No, it is based on facts from the comics and the point is so that people will stop putting Killer Croc up against Spider-Man and Wolverine bad guys that outclass him.

    i think its funny that you call it a 'little magical land' because it doesn't use powers. thats just silly. ive always hated that batman was included in the dc universe, i think it works far better when things like aliens and crap aren't referenced in gotham.

    @Colt: Essentially it is, his villains are fenced off from pretty much everything else in the DCU. I really like Batman and his rogues, but it does seem out of place at times in the universe.

    Most Batman villians are physically deformed gangsters, not superhumans. The superhumans Batman deals with regularly in Gotham can be counted on a single hand.

    Killer Croc is a great strategist. His "throw a rock at him" offensive maneuvers would certainly be envied by the likes of Napolean. Go ahead and laugh! Have you ever had a rock thrown at you?? It hurts! Especially if that rock makes contact and you don't just drop it next to your targets head before slipping off the edge of a hill. 
     
    Go throw rocks at each other and see if you still disagree with Mr. Green skins battle strategy.
