> [@Scumpup](#): > > Role playing games are fun, but I don’t consider character data from them to be “canon.” Not to sound snotty, but Corwin et. al. were Zelazny’s characters, so I will confine myself to what he wrote about them. Well the role playing games material were oked by Zelazny, so what is the difference between accepting Batman from other authors/artists, and characters sanctioned by the creating author? So how about we take Corwin from the first series, and pit him against the original batman? Not to sound snotty… (snicker) I mean common, even a freaking shadow of Bennedict is no match for Corwin, considering Corwin defeated the origional Bennedict. Batman is my favorite superhero, don’t get me wrong, but against a guy that is a much better fighter and with no weaknesses, not to mention a sword that makes people catch on fire (by first series cannon of course) and can cut through most armor like butter, has he has no chance. And I comparing my RPG characters with Batman, only the write up of Corwin based on the RPG rules, sanctioned by the Zelazny himself. And unlike Roland, Corwin is not just good in his nitch (swordfighting), he is good in hand to hand and tactical fighting as well. ---

Oh, and the snicker wasn’t directed to be insulting, I just find it funny that the word snotty is being used in a discussion about comic book characters and sci-fi character crossovers. ---

No doubt it wasn’t. None the less, I’m going to back away from this discussion. You have a good day. ---

I just suggested Nightwing v. Spider-man as a clash of methods and mindsets. Tactically, Nightwing wins, just because he’s been trained by the best in DC. Spidey is self-taught. He’s very bright, but part of his brain is Peter Parker. Nightwing has learned to be Nightwing 24/7. I wanna see Hercules vs. someone fun, like Batman. Either drunk Hercules or angry full-on Hercules. I liked that he was pissed that Wolverine was on the Avengers and not him; let’s see that. He may not be able to break adamantium, but he will give Wolverine a very good fight. I agree that the Firelord/Spider-man fight is a joke. Terrible writing. ---

Gir Vs. the Borg (would the Borg _want_ to assimilate the…advaaaaanced…little Irken SIR unit? 😉 “We are the Borg, your Poop Cola cans and tacos will be assimilated…” Gir Vs. Batman (wonder how Bats’ and his reliance on gadgets would fare against an ADD-afflicted robot…) i can just see Gir in the Batmobile (any version) going “what’s this do, what’s this do, what’s this do…” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/superhero-battles-wed-like-to-see/328865.md?page=5)
