Well, I’m sure you all have noticed a recent “trend” in threads, recently. Namely, “Batman vs. [blank].” Before that, it was mostly “Wolverine vs. [blank].” I predict that the next trend will be “‘Dum Dum’ Dugan vs. [blank]”
In any case, as a public service, I’ve compiled a brief list of all the “Batman vs.” threads in recent board history. This may save some people valuable milliseconds.

And if I may be so bold, I offer a list of “suggestions” for future “vs.” debates. Or just for y’all to chuckle over, either way.

I’m afraid that’s one battle Batman lost.

Batman vs the Viet Cong - Didi mow!!
Batman vs an Inanimate Carbon Rod
Batman vs Jet Li
Batman vs Bagdad Bob - “Batman is drowning in rivers of his own blood”
I think we need to add location to this:
Batman vs The Enterprise (Middle Earth)
Batman vs The Enterprise (Tatooine)
Batman vs The Enterprise (Victorian London)
Another possible permutation is that trend to have the director’s/writer’s name in the title:
Mel Brooks’ Batman vs. The kosher dill pickles
Batman by director Ron Howard* vs. Snake Plisken (location: The Endor Moon)
*Why do all trailers for his movies say ‘director Ron Howard’, with heavy emphasism on director?
Batman vs Man Bat vs Man with a bat.
Bruce Wayne vs Bruce Banner vs Bruce Jenner vs Bruce The shark vs some gay guy named “Bruce”.
Batman vs batmobile (Taken over by AI)
Batman vs Punisher
“Mel Brook’s Batman”:
I’m trying to imagine this but truthfully I can’t think of anything sillier than the '60 Batman TV series.
I can:
John Waters’ “Batman, featuring Devine as Catwoman vs. Daffy Duck”
Batman v. Ash Ketchem (the Pokemon kid. They actually did a very funny commerical where Terry got his ass kicked by Pikachu.)
Batman v. Link (both have a whole lot of gadets)
Batman v. every Charlie’s Angel
Batman vs. Abraham Lincoln flying a ninja mech armed with a can of Febreeze.
