Mrs. Peel would use her karate skills, and John Wayne is just to slow and lumbering. Of course, if Wayne was allowed to use a gun, the outcome could be different. ---

The pantomime bit with Wayne Brady slipping on a banana peel was one of the high spots of the American version of _Whose Line Is It Anyway_ ! A classic. Really. ---

You fools. The unstoppable combo of Dwayne Wayne, Rog, “Rerun” and sassy sister Dee would be enough to unhinge any lousy Brit superspy. Plus you know how crasy it could get if Shirley brings it to the mix. Hey HEY hey! ---

> [@Menocchio](#): > > Bruce Wayne, if he’s prepared. Nah. The sight of Mrs. Peel in leathers would cause the neurons in Bruce’s brain to misfire, thinking, “Catwoman? Where are your ears?”, at which point she’d knock him for a loop. ---

[John Peel](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/news/altnews/041026_john_peel_tributes.shtml) vs [The Fountains of Wayne](http://www.fountainsofwayne.com/) might have been interesting. ---

I just bought one of the DVD Avengers series. I still love the show, but Mrs. Peel’s “karate” (which seemed pretty bad-assed when I was a teenager) looks downright silly. So I’d probably have to go with the Duke. Still, in a world where Kato and Robin could fight to a draw… ---

You’d think that after all that time spent with Mike Tyson, Robin Givers could kick Kato Kaelin’s ass. ---

However, Wayne is sure to slip up if he goes against Mrs. Peel’s husband, Banana. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > You’d think that after all that time spent with Mike Tyson, Robin Givers could kick Kato Kaelin’s ass. Uh, Annie? Methinks you’re confusing black pro boxer and wife-beate Mike Tyson with former pro footballer and wife killer, O.J. Simpson. But kudos on effort. Also, I’ve never quite understood the Wayans’ a-peel. ---

**Askia** , I’m pretty sure that was a response to the “Robin vs. Kato” remark. ---
