When did you hear this? Last I heard Perez was going full bore and was done with one issue, course that was a couple of months ago.
Exactly how is Morrison “cheating” in Batman’s favor?
Batman has no superpowers, therefore he HAS to prepare for whatever/whomever he may face.
Why do you think he has all those Cray supercomputers in the Batcave, so he can play the most kickass version of Quake 4 EVER?
Batman has to think of every possibilty, and he has to decide which method of attack will work best for him in a given situation.
What does that require?
Preparation.
Batman does not do ANYTHING half-assed, so not being “prepared” doesn’t enter into the equation.
The Marvel/DC matchups are too obvious.
I much prefer the matchups between underground or obscure comics.
The Saint of Killers from the Preacher comics. He’s a former gunslinger from the wild west. Killed, sent to hell and tortured by the devil, he could not be broken, so he was transformed to become an unstoppable, unkillable angel of death.
Mr. Henry Phage from the Technophage comics. He’s a 65 million year old dinosaur, ruling a parallel Earth. he is the Chairman of a vast steam powered economy which consumes souls and produces misery for profit. His metaphysical powers rival that of Emperor Palpatine or Q.
Saint vs Phage…there ya go!
Mighty Mouse vs. the Powerpuff Girls!
Against all three, Id have to say MM would be outmatched. Against any one of them at a time (even Buttercup), hed spank her and send the little princess home.
Not only can he fly and use his contrail as a rope, not only is he super strong and fast, but Mighty Mouse has a lovely tenor singing voice!
Okay, am I the only one here that remembers that Daredevil beat the Huld once? It was in an issue of Daredevil, but I can’t remember which one.
“Hmmmm, a giant planet-eating entity is about to attack Gotham…good thing I have this Bat-Ultimate Nullifier in my pocket…”
163-ish. And he “beat” the Hulk primarily by bleeding all over him, which upset the Hulk who went away. 
Daredevil was in the hospital for like 2 issues after that.
Fenris
Yes, but the only way that Batman could possibly be always prepared to defend himself against every possible threat, every possible scenerio, anything that could conceivably be thrown at him at any hour of any day, he would have to have precognative powers. As as been said many times, Batman is cool precisely because he doesn’t have powers. And don’t start with the Crays - supercomputers are not omniscient. Neither is Batman.
I seem to remember the authorities finding the Hulk lying in an alley and not knowing how he got that way. But I do remember DD ending up badly beaten.
Lok
Was that the issue that went more or less along the lines of:
DD: Bruce, I’m really trying to help you. Please calm down, issue?
Hulk: Shut up, stupid man! Hulk want to kill Banner!
At which point the Hulk pretty much smacked DD across the street, then wandered off for a nap?
This thread reminds me of an issue of Film Threat I read years ago. They asked a panel of underground cartoonists who would win in a fight between Superman and Jesus Christ.
Most of them gave vague answers, like “Superman because Jesus is fictional,” but Paul MavRides, Freak Brothers artist and Founding Father of the Church of the Subgenius responded with a really insightful answer. “Jesus Christ, because of his unique ability to return from the dead. Superman could mash Jesus into jelly and hurl him into the sun, but the plucky Saviour or Souls would just come back, ready to take up the fight again. Superman would eventually get bored and give up.”
What about Jesus’s whole “Hey Dad, would you mind smitting this guy for me real quick?” attack?
What about Thor vs. Superman?
Thor.
Superman´s invulnerability is limited against magic, and Thor has a big-ass magic mallet. He can blast Superman with lightning bolts and mana rays. He can go toe to toe with Supes long enough to crown him with Mjornir (Said magic mallet). Plus, as has been mentioned before, Superman usually forgets that he has superspeed.
Now, if Supes were actually a dirty enough player to kidney punch Thor at mach 5…
I cannot fucking believe how many posts this thread has received. Apparently I have finally found a topic dopers [i[really* care about.
Fenris, you kill me.

In a Fenris vs Lizard deathmatch, my money would be on Fenris. Lizard’s quite the contender but given Fenris’s vast post count combined with his stunningly powerful modesty (not to mention the fact that he has the strength of ten Dopers because his heart is pure*), I belive all thinking people would say that Fenris.
And if we’re talking about archetypes. the Lizard is simply Curt Conners, while Fenris is the son of Loki, will bite of Tyr’s hand and will devour the sun, come Ragnarok.

*pure what is unknown. BUT it’s pure dammit!

Wasn’t there a Marvel supervillian team called Fenris? A brother/sister team of neo-Nazi’s? Is that where you got your name? I’m not implying that if you did that you’re a neo-nazi, btw
/hijack
Sam: Yes, Uncanny X-Men #199 ish ca 1987 or so. Horrible issues, IMO.
I’ve been using Fenris since my BBS days in the early '80s, so no.
Fenris
Ok thank you…I can’t believe that I remembered that…next I’ll be asking about what happened to Slyde…
Slyde?
That lame Spidey villian with the teflon suit, right?
I think he got forgotten just like Rocket Racer, The Grizzly, The Kangaroo, the Walrus and the White Rabbit.
Fenris
Actually Rocket Racer had numerous appearances, in a team with the Prowler and Will O’ the Wisp. They worked as mercenaries for Silver Sable.
