Then from the Bat Space Shuttle.
Upon meeting Vader:
Robin: “Holy intercourse, Batman, we’re fucked!”
That’s another good idea: use Robin as a decoy to gain a few valuable seconds of distraction.
Why not? Being Robin, you might as well be a redshirt or Jack Bauer’s partner. There’s plenty more where they came from.
“Hey, Asthma Boy! The kid here says you’re a fag.”
Robin: “Batman? You’re a dick.”
Slice.
What does it mean, “slice”?
Vader’s light saber going through Robin’s torso.
Or that “unsolvable geometric shape” thingy that Picard was going to use on the Borg…
or even crueler, simply upload a copy of windows into Vader’s life support systems…
“no drivers for the device “Rebreather System” found, would you like Windows to look on the Internet for drivers?”
Y
“the device “Rebreather System” has performed an illegal operation and will now be shut down, Abort, Retry, Fail?”
(i know, i know, i’m evil )
No, I like that.
I keep hearing James Earl Jones screaming “RE-TRY! hisssss RE-TRY!”
So he just lures him to Barnes & Noble.
“Hey, my buddy here wants to use your wireless, but he’s, well a little wierd. Yeah, he’s Goth. But anyway, may I pay for him to use a couple of hours…? Yeah, two Lattes.”
Well, we’ve already stretched the galaxy thing. Is this fight taking place in the Star Wars galaxy or the Batman galaxy? As for knowing how it exists, the same way he seems to know everything else–with that freaking UNIVAC on steroids of his.
(Note that all these comments are coming from a guy who only really liked the animated series.)
In the Marvel comics universe. After all, the SW comic series was made by marvel, and as it takes place far before the events of anything important in the Marvel universe, no where near earth, ( A long time ago, in a galaxy far. far away…) si=o there is no problem with cannon. All batman needs is to find out some else is using an all black outfit, and he will take off for the past.
He will approch Vader, while welding some sort of weapon. (The old gun he used in the first comics and in Batman: Year Two, perhaps?) Vader will snatch it from his hands, via the force. Batman then detonates the weapon from outside the blast radius. Now, it might only blow up some of the armor, or remove a limb, but it will likely reduce the ammount of concentration avalible to vader.
Yeah, but allowing Batman to have a Ysalmari stinks of that whole 1960’s “Bat Shark Repellant” silliness. Like when Superman cornered some two-bit thief, and the guy just happened to have a chunk of Kryptonite in his pocket.
I’ve been assuming that Vader is invading Earth. In which case, I can’t see how Batman could possibly know about the Ysalmari. Even if we grant that a Rebel or two are around to advise Batman, chances are they wouldn’t know about the Ysalmari either. They’re almost completely unknown, and their first appearance in the Star Wars EU is in a story set five years after Vader’s death.
I can’t believe how much thought I’m putting into this. God, I’m such a geek.
The real challenge, of course, is that to get close to Vader you first have to deal with the Imperial Army. How could Batman prepare for that?
**BrainGlutton. ** Tsk. Batman disguises himself as Vader and walks right up to Vader’s residence, 'o course, enjoying all the ass-kissing and scraping Vader’s mere presence tends to muster. Storm Troopers being a particularly superstitious and cowardly lot and all.
Not that a rousing hand to hand battle wouldn’t be out of the question either" then it becomes Batman versus the clones of Jango Fett.
Using his investigative skills, Batman encounters Episode III, by George Lucas. He finds a critical error in Vader’s skills.
Batman: Ha ha! I have the high ground, Lord Vader!
(from a poorly constructed platform)
Vader: Ugh. Not again. Admiral Piett, prepare my crutches for my arrival.
Piett: As you wish, my lord.
Vader: Huzzah! zoink
Easy as pie. With the Darth Repellant in his tool belt.
-Batman could use a Lazarus Pit to bring Padme, and/or Anakin’s mother back to life. Anakin loses the will to be Vader.
-Alternately, Batman lures Vader into a Lazarus Pit, restoring his normal body and, just maybe, purifying his soul of the influence of the Dark Side.
-Or, he could convince (or blackmail) Natalie Portman, an actress who “just happens to bear an uncanny resemblence to Padme,” to pose as Anakin’s lost love, distracting Vader just long enough to through him off guard. (Vader escapes from government custody two days later, after force-strangling Amanda Waller after she tries to recruit him, ripping off his own hands to get out of his manacles, and mind-tricking the guards at Arkham.)
-Batman has the Flash pick up Dr. Fate, and slam into Vader him like a battering ram at Mach 20. It’d probably do something.
-In an attempt to gain force powers to use against Vader, Batman gives himself over to the Dark Side, becoming “Darth Bakha,” agreeing to become Vader’s new apprentice, in exchange for sparing Earth from the Empire’s wrath. Realizing almost too late the horrors of the Dark Side, Batman turns against him, ending with a battle to the death on the JLA Watchtower. (Batman: “Dick…help me get…this…cowl off.” Nightwing: “But you’ll die!” Batman: “Nothing can…stop…that…now.”)
Ummmm, couldn’t Vader just hold Batman still with telekenisis and then just Force Choke him?
