It’s a trick question. Like the irresistable force and the immovable object, prepared Batman and Ditka cannot exist in the same universe; the existence of one logically precludes the existence of the other. ---

Ditka is like the sun, only brighter. So, a prepared Batman will not be blinded by Ditka’s brilliance, and easily defeat him. Now, if it was Butkus, the true Chicago legend, then the Bats is in trouble. ---

And in case you don’t get the reference: [http://snltranscripts.jt.org/98/98ibrasky.phtml](http://snltranscripts.jt.org/98/98ibrasky.phtml) I have to say, Bill’s skits were my favorite SNL skits of all time. Especially his funeral, where he punches through his own coffin to get some liquor. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-wins-prepared-batman-or-ditka/312337.md?page=1)
