Who could defeat Batman if he WEREN'T prepared?

It helps that they are very similar to Batman. For example, their main weapon is fear. Fear and surprise. Their two main weapons are fear and surprise. And their nice uniforms. Amongs their weaponry are such diverse elements…

Nobody does.

Such as Colonel Gumm and Marsha, Queen of Diamonds.

And yes, I’m ashamed to say that I remembered those characters.

Exactly. So Batman is never prepared for them.

Geez, people, let’s get a clue–Colonel Mustard in the library with a lead pipe.

Jesse Custer!

I just now got that. :smack: The heat is affecting my brain. Yeah, that’s it…

Jesus Christ.

If Batman is unprepared, Hannibal Lector can defeat him. But if he defeats him, Batman will be prepared with fava beans and a nice Chianti. So Batman can always defeat Hannibal Lector.

[shamelessly stolen from someone.]

Hans Gruber. In Nakatomi Plaza. With a candlestick.

And kind of a stab in the dark, but how about the Justice…

No, you’re right. They couldn’t do it.

From Chronos, here.

He ain’t got the heart.

Another Batman…who was prepared.
