I’m sure sombody had done this before, and I really have no idea why I’m doing it, but According to Lovecraft’s stories, someday the stars will be right and Cthulhu will rise and destory the world. My question is: If Mecha-Streisand(Babs who turned herself into a giant robotic godzilla thing) were there to meet him(it?) and they fought, who would win? And failing that, If Cthuhlu fights Batman, who would win? ---

Well, since Robert Smith, a relatively weak and puny goth, could beat the crap out of Mecha-Streisand, surely the ultimate goth demon thing would be even more successful. I believe I am also supposed to say “Batman, if he was peppered” without providing any justification. ---

And what if Batman is salted? ---

If Batman was salted, I’d imagine he’d shrink like a slug. ---

Well, Cthulhu can’t drive Mechastriesand to insanity because it’s a robot, or something, and Batman could possibly kill Cthulhu, for he’s PREPARED! How about Cthulhu vs. Godzilla? ---

Godzilla causes property damage. Cthulhu eats continents. And any attempt to prepare for a meeting with Cthulhu would result in a downward spiral into madness. OTOH, Batman could easily get one of his super-powered buddies to screw with the stars, preventing Cthuhlu from awakening. ---

I figured since Barbra stresiand is pretty scary on her own, and Cthulhu induces madness… ---

Or did I miss something? Well, the fight I was imagining would simply see who’d destroy tokyo first… Although I’m not sure Godzilla has the intellectual capacity to go insane, so he’d probably scorch Cthulhu’s tentacles.
