Batman vs Wolverine

[King_O.F]

two fan favorites!

Batman- The illest super hero around! although having no super powers he's gone toe to toe with some of the greats. heck, he's even fought superman.

wolverine- just about everyone's favorite mutant (not mine) has the power to heal himself and, of course, has the metal claws.


so, who'd win in a fight?

[Boondock Saint]

i bet batman. simply b/c he's a badass, and even though he's human, could probably take out wolvie. i mean, he's fought non-humans before, or at least mutated forms of humans...and besides, he's just better...and meaner, if you love the frank miller version...and the brief stint that kelley jones did as artist on detective comics in the mid nineties...

[Professor Go]

Batman. Although Wolverine himself is trained in martial arts and has hundreds of years more experience than Batman, Batman will end up on top as long as he is given information about his opponent beforehand. If they meet unexpectedly I may give this hand to wolverine for sheer ferocity.

[MadSkill]

Wolverine would DESTROY batman..... no contest.

[Jaga]

Batman and Wolverine shouldn't be compared... it should be more Spider-Man vs Batman, Wolverine should be put in with teh group of X-Men and compared with the Justice League. But if you guys really want to compare those two then Wolverine because no matter how much Batman will hit him he'll end up regaining his strength and theirs nothing a human can do against that, even with a bigger brain and more utilities...

yeah...once again you've proven that you never think before you type anything on these forums; what you say would make sense if the justice league were an exclusive group, confined to a series of comics dealing with ALL of them, but since they're just a group of DC's big guys, wolverine and batman can be compared. besides, wolvie has his own comic that rarely interferes with the x-storylines...

i stand by my saying that batman will win.

[Professor Go]

After thinking more about it I gotta go with Boondock.. Batman is wily.. even though Wolverine has a healing factor, Batman has devices. Maybe he's going to run over him with the batmobile and then put explosives up his nose but eventually Batman is going to prevail.

I hate when people say "you can't compare this" or "you shouldn't compare that"

you can compare anything to anything else!

Iraq vs the moon!

are we talking about places soon to be blown up? because if we are, then of course the moon...bush already blew up iraq, and everyone knows he likes to do stupid things, so the moon's a good target.

[Professor Go]

Damn liberals! We've given the moon ample time to reply to our requests for full documentation on its weapons program. It's not our fault the moon doesn't respond - God Bless the USA for freeing the Moonpeople -

[Jaga]

lol...its true i don't think when i type on these forums...i just type up what my neighbor says

[Serj]

I prefer Wolverine, he'd tear Batman to pieces

[GBA]

Wolverine, no competition.

[McBizzel]

DUDE! Batman, he always figures out a way, no way he'd go down for the count!

[Jaga]

I liek to watch Batman shows more, their more fun to watch.

[Professor Go]

Did your neighbor tell you to type that.

[Lovebird]

of course batman would win...HE KILLED SUPERMAN FOr THE LOVE OF GOD! and superman could whoop wolverine anyday of the wekk....so, psht to all you wolvie supporters. BATMAN! BATMAN! BATMAN!

[prime_timer]

Wolverine would make batman his bitch. Wolverine is a grizzly bear with rabies with human inteligence and enhanced healing powers. Batman throws a modified ninja star..... DUH! this question has no reason to exist, as everyone clearly knows the answer is wolverine

[Mariosmentor]

Nobody could beat those sideburns..they'd eat batman alive

[rpguidry]

I was really never big about Comic Books, but my uncle had a series that I did read. It was when Marvel and DC teamed up and had all their characters fight. And toward the end of the series everyone started merging together. Like Superman and the Hulk and Batman and Wolverine merge to make Darkclaw (Not sure that was his name but it sounds right. Anyway my pick would have to be Wolverine. Wolverine has healing powers and a metal exo-skeleton. Everyone seems to think Batman is the most powerful DC character but he's not. He's a mere human (Just a really strong human) and if you want to go by powers then Superman or Green Lantern would be the most powerful. The only area Batman would have an advantage would be his battle strategy because Wolverine just goes crazy and doesn't think things though, but that wouldn't be enough to win.

[Professor Go]

You're thinking of the Amalgam books where Storm mixed with Wonder Woman, Superman with Captain America and Wolverine with Batman.. it was ok but kinda weird.

As for Batman not being the most "powerful" DC character - power doesn't have everything to do with who can win. Batman has taken down Superman before, recently and in Miller's "Dark Knight" series - everyone has a weakness and Batman will always exploit that, regardless of whether or not he is just human.

[Lovebird]

even so, he's killed superman when he was like sixty. the first time they fought, batman almost won, but had a heart attack and superman, like the moron he is, didn't kill him. but batman came back later, and eventually killed him with krypton(?) boots. unfortunately, batman was also killed, by bane, where bane broke his back and threw him off a building...:-/...not exactly the most pleaseant death....but as for wolverine, i don't know who he's killed, or been killed by, but as far as i'm concerned, he's a pretty crappy x-man...now gambit and maverik....those are real xmen...

[prime_timer]

Gambit is the pimp of the x-men

[Lovebird]

maverik would be the livin crap outta gambit though...Gambit uses kinetic energy, and Maverick absorbs kinetic energy, therefore gambit would get his but handed to him, but even so, they both rock the haus...

[Professor Go]

I think Maverick died :( but if you mean Bishop then yes he would absorb it.

[godofwar_2005]

Hmmm....tough one.Wolvys more of a animalistic fighter,has admagnalium claws,exoskeleton and helaing powers.Whereas bats has only skill and pure cunning plus hes only human.Still I think bats would win if he could chalk out a strategy,he would probably use hypersonics or something(It drives logan crazy!).

[Battousai36]

Batman... Wolverine is to 'I'll kick your ass' and no brain. Plus all batmans gadgets would really hurt wolvy's body.

[kurst]

it's simple really..Wolverine = Reggie Fils
Reggie Fils pwns all, so obviously, that must include batman.

Am I getting my facts mixed up?

[MadSkill]

I didn't read the posts in this thread.... but give me a break... Wolverine would tear batman up. No competition.

[Hottotty]

^ No WAY. In case you forgot, Batman not only has pointy things on his forearm, but also on his HEAD.

Though, Wolverine does have side burns.

I say tie.

[bmd3287]

batman FTW. wolverine is just a freddy krueger wannabe with a god complex

EDIT: Is it just me or is this thread swarming with newbs?

[Sascha-AMN]

Tough one.

Wolverine is far smarter than most people give him credit for, especially when it comes to adjusting battle tactics in the heat of combat. He isnt the world's greatest thinker, but he knows how to fight, how to find weaknesses, and how to exploit them. Furthermore, the guy is unbreakable, so no matter what Batman was able to throw at him, he would still come back and keep fighting. Batman was able to kill Superman using Kryptonite, Wolverine doesnt have a kryptonite equivelant.

If Batman could keep out of Wolverine's through the use of strategy, weaponry, and gadgets, then he could stand a chance to subdue him, provided he could keep a constant torrent of assault going so that Wolverine could never fully heal and mount a comeback. If Wolverine was allowed in close range for even a second however, Batman would be hurting badly.

[JValone]

Wolverine's ability to constantly heal is probably just too much for Batman to overcome. As Sascha pointed out Batman has no way to really counter that, and to give constant damage to Wolvie would be incredibly difficult to do. I'll go with Wolverine on this one, simply because he's too resilient.

[rogue_gamecube]

Well, not to sound like a broken record, but this is kinda easy. I mean... Wolverine can constantly heal himself.

Look at it from a WoW perspective. Batman is a rogue, Wolverine is a paladin. Even with all the tricks in the book, Wolverine can just keep rehealing himself constantly. Sure, backstab and other things will prolong the fight, but after 3-5 minutes Batman will die.

[Jonathan Lite]

Dude, Batman would kick the **** out of Wolverine. He keeps a kryptonite bullet around in case Superman goes nuts or something. He knows his opponent. Batman would show up wearing like, magnetic gloves, and would pull Wolverine apart.

Didn't you get the memo?

[Sascha-AMN]

/\

Wolverine already lived through that. Magneto ripped the adamantium metal off of his bones, through his skin.

Wolverine walked it off. Actually, he may have jogged it off.

[JValone]

Hahahaha, Sascha's knowledge of comic lore is strong. Yeah, I have yet to read a good reason why Wolvie wouldn't easily walk away (unscathed, I might add) from thsi battle the victor.

[StrataGhost]

Iirc the only way Wolverine can die is if he's thrown into a volcano.

[Luis Sera]

Sorry, are you people saying Wolverine is immortal? I must have missed that. I've never even read a comic book, really, so it's not like I'm incredibly informed, but last time I checked he has regenerative powers, not immortality. He can die, can he not? For instance if his entire body was crushed, obliterated, destroyed.. I mean, he isn't actually immortal? What if he was cut in half? Would he suddenly sprout new legs..? My Wolverine knowledge is mostly from the movies, the old television show, and then Evolution, but he was never immortal..

I don't know who would win, I think they both have the chance to kill eachother.. depends on the situation I guess..

[I'mSuperAwesome!]

^ he doesn't age

[cooperthefool]

It really depends, I really like the x-men comics, but sometimes the batman ones tend to have more action...

[Luis Sera]

^ he doesn't age..I know.. but that doesn't mean he's immortal.

[I'mSuperAwesome!]

well.... if he doesnt age, he cant grow old. not the same as indestructible. remember, there's the whole magneto thing.

[Sascha-AMN]

Sorry, are you people saying Wolverine is immortal?

Pretty damn close.

He can die, can he not?

Technically yes, you just have to deal enough damage, and keep dealing that level of damage for an incredibly long time, so that his body cant regenerate faster than it is being destroyed. As of yet, nothing has come close to accomplishing this feat.

For instance if his entire body was crushed, obliterated, destroyed.. I mean, he isn't actually immortal?

You cant crush adamantium - the metal lining his bones. As far as pure blunt trauma or crushing injuries go, Wolverine is immortal. You can hurt him, bruise his flesh, even cause internal bleeding, but his body will heal itself eventually. He had the adamantium ripped out of his body, through his skin, by magneto in the comics, but even during the window of time when his bones could (and did) break, they heeled themselves within minutes.

What if he was cut in half? Would he suddenly sprout new legs..?

Interesting question. In the 'Age of Apocalypse' series, which takes place far in the future, Wolverine does in fact only have one arm, which seems to indicate that there are limits to his regenerative powers. I cant remember how he lost the arm, how the Adamantium was cut through. In any case, if he were cut in half, it stands to reason that he would lose his legs but still survive - the wound would close, the skin and muscle matter would heal, and he would be confined to a wheelchair, but still very much alive. I dont think Batman has the means to cut through Adamantium though, so its a moot point.

[Miggy-AMN]

Yeah, Sascha's on the spot with everything. I think that asking the original question -- whether who'd win between these two -- is stupid enough, but then again, there's a series called "Batman vs Superman".

[Rorshach]

Well... In all truth Wolverine would win. Even though he died twice, it was because his flesh was completely destroyed by a Sentinel. The other time was with Magneto tearing his adamantium off his bones (did he die? I can't remember). However, Batman can do neither of these. But he did take down the entire JLA...

It's a very tough call, but I'd have to say Wolverine

[Luis Sera]

Pretty damn close.

Batman is crafty. Most likely, Wolverine would be the victor, but considering this is fiction we're talking about, they could both win. Like I said, depends on the sitchy-ation.

[Idol Australian]

You know who would win? Wolverine's pants. Did any of you watch the end of X3? His flesh was being ripped from his bones, his shirt came flying off, but his pants stuck around.

But in all seriousness, Hugh Jackman > Christian Bale

[Z.E.I.D.A.N]

^You and pants, srsly

[rogue_gamecube]

He's got a point. Those pants kept his package from being torn asunder. The pain of my face and upper body being ripped apart... probably not nearly as painful as the same happening to my balls.

Hey, off the wall thought... he must have absolutely no fear when getting head. Anything happens, it'll grow back!

[cooperthefool]

have you seen x-men 3...wolverine would win

[Rorshach]

^have you read Tower of Babel? changed my mind, Batman would win.
