They are both prepared. ---

Batman, of course. ---

An encounter such as that would create a paradox so powerful that the very fabric of the universe would tear itself apart, causing an event so apocalyptic no human is capable of even imagining what it might be like. ---

WB animated Batman beats them all. He’s got the skills, the no-nonsense attitude, a costume that actually lets him turn his neck, and the coolest vehicles. ---

Animated Batman used to get his ass kicked all the time – even by girls! ---

Ya know, all this talk about Batman being invincable with enough preptime is kind of silly in any comic book universe. I mean, Spider-Man has created “special” (Rubber web to take out Electro, super strong web, etc.) web formulas countless times to defeat the bad guys, and that’s basically prep time. Punisher in the 80’s and 90’s “always” had a plan “b” (like the emergency scuba gear under every pier in the harbour) ready. So what if Bats takes a little more time to get ready on occasion? ---
