Which of these batty characters would emerge triumphant?
If a past-his-prime pro wrestler could defeat the Nemesis Enforcer by throwing him into a pit, Batman could beat him with one hand while taking a wizz at a urinal at the same time.
… from the opposite wall, while spelling CLARK KENT IS SUPERMAN in cursive…
Enforcer ends up with a pin stuck through his middle, in Batman’s butterfly collection.
Batman, if he’s breathing.
Sigh.
Look, if Nemesis Enforcer can take out a platoon of B.A.T.s, then he can take out Bats.
Seriously, I could take Batman! I could never get into characters like Batman or Captain America. With Superman and the like you have to suspend disbeliefe and accept that he is an alien from another planet so he could do all of these wonderful things. Batman isn’t yet he is the greatest thinker/fighter/lover/man-in-tights. The ulitmate human? I think not. As I said, anyone of us could take Batman if we were prepared.
Battle Android Trooper Systems are merely toasters with guns.
Wesley Crusher could beat them.
Well…he could beat one.
And Batman has beaten the Man-Bat; not once, but several times. Man-Bat is stronger, smarter, faster, & a swifter & more skillful flyer than Nemesis Enforcer.
No, Batman wins–one round.
I think you’re being far too dismissive of the B.A.T.s as just “toasters with guns.” They’re not just any toasters, bucko. More like massive eight-slot toasters with digital readouts and precise thermal control. (Take that, Waynetech!)
As for Man-Bat being faster and stronger than Nemesis E.,–does Man-Bat have bulletproof wings? Does he? Does he have those nifty arm-blades that can slice right through armor plating? Huh?
I say that Nemesis Enforcer takes on both Man-Bat and Batman, and makes both of them his bitches.
Since Batman doesn’t use guns, the point is moot.
Man-Bat does have fangs & claws though.
And echolocation.
Pft, Nemesis Enforcer isn’t all that. Didn’t Sgt. Slaughter take him down while he had somethign on his face that was blinding him? Granted, this is Sgt. Slaughter we’re talking about here, but I imagine that if he could do it, Batman could.
Especially since Batman deals with people with Nemesis Enforcer-like strength and durability all the time (Bane, Killer Crock, Solomon Grundy, Blockbuster, etc.).
Also, B.A.T.S. aren’t really that good a test of strength, either. Don’t they usually fall apart when someone hits them with the butt of their rifle?
It was Roadblock that took Nemesis Enforcer down, just as he was going blind. As far as I’m concerned, Roadblock got lucky.
As for the battle android troopers, they are a lot tougher than you give them credit for. They’re highly resistant to small arms fire, and a rifle blow isn’t going to inflict any real damage. On the other hand, hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL will incapacitate them, albeit temporarily.
I still say that N.E. wins this battle. If his wings can withstand close-range machine gun fire, then a batarang and a can of Bat-shark repellant won’t do diddly squat.
Of course, they also EXPLODE & BURST INTO FLAMES when struck from behind.
STATS on an earlier model of BATS.
Seriously, I beat Batman! Ok, will slink off back to my corner now.
What’s with the lack of respect for Sgt. Slaughter? Don’t you realize the pro-wrestling gig was just a cover?
Actually, he was at his peak right then, I believe coming off of a Championship belt, but before defecting to the Iraqis…
What about the various gas capsules that Bats tends to carry around? I guess NE could blow it away with his wings, but he might be in trouble if Bats (who seems way more agile) shoves one in his face.
There’s also (and I really hate to mention this) the issue of how prepared Batman is. I only say this to bring up the fact that when Batman fought Killer Crock at the beginning of Hush, he brought those sonic deals and that taser thing that would probably be just as effective against NE.
No dice, man. His utility belt can only hold so much stuff. I figure he’s got room for some rope, a couple of batarangs, a Bat-container of alphabet soup, and nothing more.
And none of those would work against the defender of Cobra-La.
I dunno, the batarangs alone give him more ranged attacks than NE has (I guess it also depends on which Batman we’re talking about, since, for instance, Justice League Batman carries exploding batarangs in his belt). However, pretty much every Batman carries an assortment of gas capsules/ smoke bombs in his belt, so at the very least he has ways of distracting NE, who from what I remember wasn’t too bright.
Also, from what I remember (and I don’t have my copy of the Joe movie with me), NE didn’t really display all that much in the way of fighting skills. He mostly just hit or tore stuff up and got by with being stronger than everyone. That doesn’t really work with Batman, who, as mentioned, as plenty of experience dealing with people far stronger than he (he spars with Wonder Woman, after all) and people with wings (Man-Bat) and blades (that reaper guy from Year 2).
