I’d say it’s a draw because they are both equally prepared. ---

Yeah, but then Cecil gets the staff writers to jump in front of him and take the beatings while he prepares his barbed weapons of sarcastic doom. ---

[It’s been done, folks](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=185700&highlight=Batman+AND+Cecil). Of course, Cecil wins. ---

Does Cecil have a 1920’s style “Death Ray?” ---

Sorry, but Batman always wins. Even Cecil would know this, since he is the smartest person alive. Cecil might stand a chance if he can take out the army of Batman writers with some witticism or something. ---

Nope, no fucking breaks allowed. Nor smoke breaks. You get a lunch break and two bathroom breaks. Actually what would happen is they would figure out that they have been pitted against each other by a nefarious third party. Then Bats would kick the evildoer’s arse and afterwards Cecil would compose a scathing column belittiling everything about the foe and featuring references to “SDSAB Member **Batman** ”. ---
