Who would win: James Bond vs Batman

Both have above average intelligences, physiques, and hand-to-hand combat skills.

Both have incredible tools and gadgets at their disposal.

Both are well financed, and posess incredible wills.

If both had full access to all their respective goodies, which one would win?

Are you kidding? Bond’s toast. Batman would mop the streets with his “shaken, not stirred” martini-swilling, baccarat-playing, lily-white limey butt.

Batman seems to have many more goodies. Id take Batman in overtime.

Batman, easily. Bond, while well-equipped thanks to Q, simply cannot match Batman’s mastery of multiple fighting styles. The fight ends after a Batman smoke pellet allows him to sneak up on 007 and incapacitate him with one of a variety of martial arts maneuvers. Game, set, match.

(Waits for someone to come prove him wrong.)

Gotta go with Bats here. He doesn’t drink or smoke. Don’t think James would ever know what snuck up on him and cold cocked him. Our lady M would actually probably prefer to have Bats simply because he only pretends to be a womanizing playboy, when Bond only pretends to be a secret agent.

It’s funny, I started a thread exactly like this one that was lost in the Great Board Crash. I can’t remember what the concensus was, but I’d have to give it to Batman, unless Bond thought it was a fight to the death; then I might give it to 007. I dunno.

Batman. Bond wins a lot through sheer luck, and he routinely gets snuck up on by the bad guys. It’s much, much harder to trap Batsy.

Plus, I’d like to think that Batman is in much better physical condition and is a much better hand-to-hand fighter, a better spy and detective, and much better at remaining stealthy.

Bond. Once Batman found out that 007 nailed his mom before she died, Batman would collapse like Jell-o.

Batman would use his Walther PPK Reversal Spray on Bond.

The Bat.

Okay, Bond is smart enough to foil evil geniuses with plans for world domination. But mano a’ mano, I have to give it to Batman.

In fact, I think Batman is so superior in a one-on-one that I’d give the edge to current Batman, Golden Age Batman, Silver Age Batman, and even campy TV show-style Adam West as Batman.

(Hedging my bets though, I’d take Sean Connery Bond over Adam West Batman.)

I’m not even a Batman fan and I’ve got to go with him. Bond isn’t a wuss, but Batman as presented is just about impossible to beat in anything resembling a fair fight. Bond’s only real advantage is the resources of the United Kingdom are at his disposal so I suppose he could fire a nuke a Gotham but I’d bet that the Batcave doubles as a nuclear shelter.

Another for Bats. He’s incredibly good at finding his foe’s weaknesses, and Bond has a lot of’em.

Hell, if Jaws and Odd Job can sneak up on Bond at any given moment, I think this would end before it bagan.

[hijack]Who would win in a fight between James Bond Jr. and Robin?[/hijack] :smiley:

I think it depends on what’s at stake.

If this is just a random punch-up, of the kind beloved by comic-book writers – you know, where two heroes meet, beat each other up for a while, and then either team up or go their separate ways – then I’ll agree with the concensus that Batman has the skills to beat up Bond.

However, if they were contesting something important, then the edge goes to Bond for one major reason: he’s completely willing and able to kill. If he had to kill Batman, he could and would. Batman would, instead, just capture Bond and get him put in jail (from which, of course, the Brititsh government would immediately spring him). So, if Bond cared enough, he’d kill Batman.

But, of course, the real answer depends on whose world this is in. Both of these guys are heroes, and so always win in their stories. If Bond appeared in a Batman comic, he’d lose, and vice versa for a Bond movie.

Batman. Bond is willing to kill, true, but Batman can always come up with a way to win without killing, which makes him more creative and versatile, and he isn’t afraid to cause really intense pain.

Just to duplicate what I said in the previous (and now missing) thread:

  1. I think there’s absolutely no question that Batman would take Bond out in a one-on-one fight.

  2. However, Golgo 13 could take either of them without breaking a sweat.

James Bond is sleek stylish and cool.
Batman is sleeker, more stylish and cooler.
Bond has long strung out punch fights with no cool music.
Batman dispenses with gangs while listening the Spybreak and doesn’t break a sweat.
So wheres the contest? Batman just just drives his fist into 007’s face and kicks him in the groin. If he gets back up he does the same thing again.

Batman, no question.

As for kasuo’s hijack, Robin would wipe the floor with James, Jr. Any of the various Robins.

I think it completely matters which Bond we are talking about.

Are we talking about the Bond of the books? Cuz that Bond was one tough SOB. He might be able to give Bats a workout. Probably still lose though.

Connery is only a little below the Bond of the books.

And Brosnan would get the crap beat out of him by a 12 year old asthmatic girl. Seriously, how did he ever get the Bond part? He’s such a complete wuss.
