Unsure if he could defeat Batman.

[โ€“] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This is actually an ongoing plot in the current run. In an altered state of consciousness, Batman created a failsafe, literally called Failsafe, to kill himself if he ever killed someone else.

When the program sees an article that he killed someone (he didnโ€™t, it was a setup), it releases the robot Failsafe to defeat him. Batman has yet to defeat Failsafe, though he has survived so far against it.

So then he's clearly going to, by the laws of narrative causality.

Could he beat 100 bat-sized men? Or 1 man-sized bat?

[โ€“] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

A man sized bat is one of his recurring enemies, so that part has been solved.

Please tell me hes called Manbat

[โ€“] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 6 months ago

He either defeats Batman or pulls him over to his side. Usually by invoking their parents.

They're was a run where he's fighting an alternate universe Batman who is actually Thomas Wayne, from a universe where Bruce is the one that gets killed and Martha becomes the joker.

[โ€“] MTG8175@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Jeffrey Dean Morgan returning as Thomas Wayne Batman would have been dope asf.

[โ€“] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 6 points 6 months ago

One Punch Man.

[โ€“] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

All of them. The exception would maybe be something like Failsafe, which is a robot built by Batman (in an altered state of consciousness) to defeat himself if he ever killed someone. So, Batman is really the only one who could defeat Batman.

Squirrel girl could beat him :p

[โ€“] Silentiea@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

SG my beloved could beat anyone if it was ironic enough.

[โ€“] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Oliver Twist. Anne of Green Gables. The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Stuart Little.

All the characters in Charlotte's web.

Bambi. Bambi's mother.

[โ€“] Alice@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Anyone in this thread could defeat Bambi's mother.

[โ€“] Saigonauticon@voltage.vn 2 points 6 months ago

Well, then we all have that much in common with batman! How cool is that?

[โ€“] Silentiea@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I mean it's pretty easy to beat up a corpse, but does that really qualify as a victory?

[โ€“] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 months ago

Now, I'm one of those "with enough time and prep, he could beat anyone" kinda guys, BUT, there is one near godly being that I think could take Batman:

Bugs Motherfucking Bunny.

[โ€“] ConfusedPossum@kbin.social 9 points 6 months ago

Mr. Poopy Butthole

[โ€“] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 8 points 6 months ago

No prep? Probably any no/low powered villian, the dumber the better chances

[โ€“] Alice@beehaw.org 5 points 6 months ago

Yknow, Kirby comes up in these power scaling conversations a lot, but I've never seen Batman vs Kirby before.

My gut instinct is that Kirby could defeat Batman, but it wouldn't happen, because Batman would quickly figure out that he can get Kirby to do anything by dangling a lollipop in front of him.

I'd love if a Batman fan had a more nuanced take, though. I only know The Animated Series and it's not exactly fresh in my mind.

I'd bet my sleep paralysis demons would put him through the ringer
