Interlude[]
(Cue Death Battle Theme)
W: The Batman. Protector of Gotham, and the fear of all evil.
B: Not really. But a hero is only as good as their villain and Batman has a WHOLE lot of them
W: The Joker: The clown prince of crime
B: Harley Quinn: Joker's lover turned fun loving hero
W: Poison Ivy: Mother Nature herself
B: Two-Face: the indecisive gun wielder of Gotham
W: Mr. Freeze: The cold hearted criminal
B: Catwoman: DC's Feline Femme Fatale
W: Bane: Breaker of Bat's (and backs)
B: Scarecrow: Master of Fear
W: Man-Bat: The Animalistic night flyer
B: The Penguin: The deformed boy turned Mob Boss
W: The Riddler: The quizmaster...
B: and finally Killer Croc: The beast in the sewer. Holy crap that was a lot to say! Well he's Wiz and I'm Boomstick
W: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win. A Death Battle!
The Joker[]
W: To avoid keeping these bios to take way too long, we've decided to keep these analyses brief while still covering all the bases.
B: But really? What has to be said about The Joker which hasn't already been said? HE'S NUTS!
(Cue "What a Wonderful World" -Louis Armstrong)
W: Like always The Joker will have his patented "Joker Venom" which for the uninitiated is a gas that the joker distributes that causes the recipient to laugh until they DIE from a lack of air, contorting their face into what I think death looks like.
B: Joker will also have all his melee weapons like his boxing glove arm...ok, a cane with a sword in it...also ok, an electric joy buzzer which fries you like toast, a large cartoon mallet straight out of looney tunes, a flower on his chest which can spray his toxin or just pure acid, knives, his famous crowbar, and: a pencil.
Cue the scene from the Dark Knight where the joker stabs someone through the eye with a pencil
Heath Ledger Joker: "and its... GONE"
W: When it comes to melee combat not only does the joker use a WIDE assortment of weapons but is actually quite adept at fighting styles, being able to keep up with batman and those trained by him. But melee is far from the joker's most effective means of attack. He carries razor sharp cards he can throw from a distance, chattering teeth that act as explosives, dynamite, a secret grenade holster, and of course his Glock 17, a tommy gun, and long barreled shotgun.
B: Joker won't just attack you physically. As shown in Sweet Tooth vs The Joker, he is an expert at manipulating the minds of the crazies and non crazies. He doesn't discriminate
W: While Mister J is just as vulnerable as you or I, even then he has some tricks up his sleeve. For 1. He is immune to not only his Joker Venom but he is also immune to other poisons as well like: The Scarecrow's Fear Toxin and Poison Ivy's Pheromones. He is also almost BLIND to pain, still fighting after being impaled, stabbed. You name it and joker probably enjoys it.
B: The Jester of Genocide is gonna have fun with this.
Joaquin Phoenix Joker: "Is it me... or is it getting crazier out there?"
Harley Quinn[]
(Cue "Bad Reputation" -Joan Jett & the Blackhearts)
W: Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel was a psychiatrist at the famed Arkham Asylum, known throughout for being the cure to a lot of crazies including one: Poison Ivy.
B: But we ain't here to talk about them yet. Harleen took on the herculean task of trying to fix the one and only Joker. But. It didn't turn out that way.
W: Harleen grew fond of the Joker and eventually fell head over heels in love with him and on that day. Harley Quinn was born.
Harley: "Was that as easy at it looked?"
B: The Joker molded Harley into the psychotic loveable girl she is to this day, giving her all the toys to get the job done. Like her now Ex-Boyfriend she carries a wide variety of guns, comedic props like pogo sticks...im not gonna even say it anymore that's just dumb. But when it comes to melee she usually uses her trusty baseball bat or her giant mallet.
W: But even without her weapons Harley is astonishingly talented, after being given a potion by Poison Ivy, her strength, speed, and durability were enhanced to a superhuman degree. Harley has made a career of keeping up with or beating the odds against opponents like Killer Croc, Freaking Lobo, and even Batman himself although she fell short on the latter.
B: Many other of her contemporaries including Harley herself has confirmed she is a genius meaning she must have an IQ of at least 140 and it shows. She's a natural leader and has made plans that are supposed to contend with batman!
W: Harley has knocked out Killer Croc, Broke Penguin's nose with just one strike, she is immune to all toxins including joker venom, she beat the Joker in a 1v1 fight, she has mastered gymnastics and stealth techniques, and even has a degree of regeneration albeit low.
B: The only problem Harley has is that she tends to let her impulsive attitude get the best of her, often getting her into tough situations that she can't get out of even with her genius mind. But this might actually be an advantage or something I like to call the "Squirrel Girl" {Future Fight: Harley vs Squirrel Girl?} syndrome, where whoever she's fighting underestimates her and takes her lightly but then gets their asses handed to them by her.
W: That's...actually a good analogy
B: Yep but that's "Harley" my first one.
W: …
Harley: I'm not rude! I just say what everyone else doesn't have the balls to say
Poison Ivy[]
(Cue: "Poison" Alice Cooper)
W: The word Femme Fatale describes: "an attractive and seductive woman, especially one who will ultimately bring disaster to a man who becomes involved with her." And although there are many who fit this description, there are none that quite fit it like Pamela Lillian Isely.
B: Our friend Pammy was once a simple botanist who thought humanity was being a... a pretty big dick to plants, and when her research was laughed at she did the next best thing. SHE BECAME AN ECOTERROTIST BENT ON PLANT DOMINATION
W: Wow... that escalated quickly, like that REALLY got outta hand.
B: Well to be more specific. She fell in love with one of her fellow professors but he decided to do the nice thing and experiment on Pamela using toxins that drove her insane. That's pretty much it.
W: Now that Dr. Isley had found a new purpose, she trashed her human life and became. Poison Ivy. Ivy gained many powers from her previous experiments done on her, naturally she's immune to all types of poisons, any and all diseases, and hallucinogenics such as scarecrow's fear toxin.
B: While Ivy isn't exactly physically imposing having very low superhuman abilities, her plants certainly are. She can control any plant within a mile of her similar to how a shark can tell if there is blood in the water and turn them into her weapons of mass destruction.
W: Her reach can go so far as to circle the city of Gotham, Be quick enough to snatch Batman before he could react and even catch katana who is fast enough to react to bullets, strong enough to tear down small buildings, and durable enough to keep a black lantern at bay!
B: Ivy is also not surprisingly, incredibly smart. Even though she is limited to just her plant knowledge, she has shown to be a cunning strategist in her own right, if not on the same level as her partner in crime: Harley Quinn.
W: But Ivy is by far most dangerous when she uses her powers of seduction, Ivy has made special pheromones that she admonishes with a kiss to make people fall in love with her and when she finds no more use in them she leaves their brain to turn into plants. Literally making them vegetables. This is also inhanced due to Ivy's skin also being toxic, although not fatal. However the pheromones are not perfect and do not work on everyone. While it has shown to work on aliens like superman this cannot be said for all aliens especially if they do not have a human physiology. They also do not work on people with toxic immunities like her, filter systems in a suit or mask {excluding physical contact such as her kiss}, or even those who have strong will or cannot feel certain emotions such as Mr. Freeze because he was literally too cold hearted.
B: Annnnd… Ivy isn't incredible melee wise, relying mostly on her control over plants to do the dirty work for her, even her plants can be damaged which causes Ivy to go into violent outbursts which a smart opponent could use to their advantage. They are also vulnerable to weedkillers, explosions, fire, ice, bugs, or really anything else that can damage plant life. Doesn't mean she isn't SMOKING hot though!
Ivy: They can bury me in the ground, as deep as they like. But I'll grow back. We always grow back. Don't we, baby?
Scarecrow[]
(Cue "Grim Grinning Ghosts" -The Living Tombstone)
W: Young Johnathan Crane had a troubled childhood, he was adopted and abused by his grandmother, taunted and bullied at school, and always was controlled by fear. But what if: HE could control the fear?
B: After scaring away his bullies using a scarecrow costume, Johnathan became obsessed with the power fear holds against others. He would eventually grow older and take revenge against all those who hurt him. Killing his grandma and hunting down those who wronged him.
W: Afterwards Crane would work on an experimental fear toxin throughout high school, dubbing himself: Scarecrow.
B: Johnny boy would eventually perfect his fear toxin and plan to continue his "tests" until. Well Batman Happened
W: You see unfortunately Crane suffers from "chiroptophobia", the irrational fear of bats.
B: So understandably after seeing Batman for the first time, it was pretty scarring to him. But after being sent to Arkham Asylum he only got deadlier.
W: While at the asylum, Crane equipped himself with enough fear toxin to set Gotham ablaze with fear and panic. But this wouldn't be possible without his gasmask which protects himself from his own toxins, this is because the fear gas targets the specific fear of each person who inhales it, including John himself.
B: But Scarecrow uses a LOT more than just gas and a couple of party tricks. He actually carries with him an unorthodox fighting style he calls "Violent Dancing" which is an improved form of the crane style in kung-fu.
W: I'm actually surprised you knew that boomstick-
B: Eh, I got a few tricks up my sleeves
W: But you don't have sl-
B: SHUT UP!
W: Well... Scarecrow is nothing below a genius, being able to outsmart anyone from his fellow villains to Batman himself at times! He's shown to be capable to escape capture for a long periods of time.
B: And he's NO slouch when it comes to weapons, he normally carries a hook or a pocket knife for quick stabs, a scythe for long ranged slicing and multiple guns which carry traditional bullets AND bullets or darts laced with fear toxin for more ranged foes. And then there's his iconic needle fingers, 5 syringes on his right hand which in his words "Have enough toxin to sedate 25 men".
W: Now the toxin does have a few weaknesses, should you be fearless or immune to poisons the toxin would have no effect on you, and it can be overtaxed by someone with peak conditioning like batman or enough willpower like a green lantern { although in some versions it takes a blood transfusion to get the toxin out your system}. And Crane himself has no superhuman abilities and like mentioned before, even Johnathan himself can be susceptible to his own toxin.
B: But the good doctor has it covered, You might just be under the scarecrow's spell before you can even notice you've lost.
Cue Scarecrow's death screen in Arkham Asylum
Scarecrow: And at the end of it all...Oblivion
Catwoman[]
(Cue: "Bad Romance" Lady Gaga)
W: Selina Kyle was born to the infamous crime boss by the name of Rex "The Lion" Calabrese. From a young age, Selina followed into her father's footsteps by becoming Gotham's flirtatious female cat burglar: The Catwoman.
B: She's thi-
W: NO- THIS WAS A BAD IDEA. BOOMSTICK DONT YOU DARE
B: Aw c'mon! IT'S CATWOMAN FOR GODS SAKES.
W: If you do, I swear to god...
B: Fiiiine. After taking her place at the throne of her crime family, Selina Kyle would come into constant conflict with the Dark Knight of Gotham City, Batman. She'd eventually fall for the bat, but their romance is usually cut short due to the fact she's a criminal, and he's a symbol of justice.
W: But this doesn't stop Catwoman from becoming famous in her own right. She normally carries her famous whip which she uses to insnare or disarm others, Bolas which are used to trap the feet or arms of her foes, caltrops which are like jacks but they will "jack" up your feet with their sharp edges, and for melee combat she normally uses her dagger-like claws on the end of her hands for slicing. And if this isn't enough, she also carries a pistol for when it's necessary.
B: While Catwoman's arsenal may be limited, she does a great job using it, she has shown to slice through thin metal, trap superhumans, and toss around fully capable adults with just her whip. Her claws are even sharp enough to pierce Batman's bulletproof armor!
W: And speaking of Batman, she's shown that she can hold her own both in a spar or a real fight with the Dark Knight, has defeated Talia al Ghul and has the athletic ability and stealth capabilites to get the drop on our favorite bat more than once. Selina also has training from Wildcat, the Armless Master, and Batman himself in various martial arts, such as Kung Fu and Karate, boxing and street fighting.
B: In some timelines, the Bat and Cat even settle down and have a kid together. Nice to see them get some much needed happiness in their lives.
W: Catwoman is an excellent hacker being able to break into Hugo Strange's vault (who was smart enough to deduce Batman's identity), she's intelligent enough to predict where someone would teleport, stealthy enough to go undetected by Batman and Poison Ivy, the latter of which can use her plants to detect movements within the area, and her great acrobatic ability would be essential to keep getting away with all of her heists. She's also accomplished many great feats; such as surviving Scarecrow's Fear Toxin, outrunning a panther, beating Lex Luthor and tanking a building sized explosion.
B: Miss Kyle is blindingly fast; she's quick enough to dodge bullets and missiles and can scale walls with almost no problem, and she also regularly keeps up with others like Katana or Robin, the former of which was able to deflect bullets at Mach 114 speeds, so Catwoman should be in a similar league in regards to reaction speeds. And while she can dodge bullets pretty easily, her suit isn't bulletproof, and though it does offer a fair amount of protection, Selina is still human and has the same weaknesses as the rest of us do. It's still very important to note that she has survived plenty of situations that would kill the average person.
W: Well even though she is killable by any conventinal means, she does have one more trick up her leather sleeve. See in some variatons (including the one being used) Selina, like a cat, has "9 lives" meaning she has to be "killed" 9 times before she is actually dead. For example: In the film "Batman Returns" Catwoman is shot point blank multiple time and finally electrocutes herself to kill Max Shreck. She even counts down her lives left.

{Watch between 1:20-2:20}
B: I guess she isn't like all the catty Girls
W: Ugh- are almost done?
B: Nope. Not even half way through
Catwoman: "I take what I need from those who have more than enough. I don't stand on the shoulders of those with less."
Bane[]
(Cue: "Slow Chemical" -Finger Eleven)
W: Bane was born and raised in Peña Duro, a prison in the Caribbean Republic of Santa Prisca that is home to the most dangerous convicts.
B: Why was he there? Well, apparently his father served time there and he needed to serve his father's sentence...yeah.
W: The child would then be thrown off his railing and sent crashing down to the stone-cold floor below.
B: And instead of killing him, it just made him go insane...with an image of his wealthy future self to boot!
W: The child listened to what his 'future self' had to say, and soon rose to take over Peña Duro. After simply leaving the prison himself, through violent murder, the child took up the only name he was given...Bane.
B: Okay, now we look at Bane's powers. First off, he's super jacked and ripped it's not even funny, and can punch like nobody's business. Also, Bane is shockingly fast for a man his size, being able to outrun Olympic athletes with ease. All without a weapon of his, mind you.
W: Despite looking like a brute, Bane is actually pretty smart. Not only can he keep up with Batman, and even snap his spinal cord in half, but he has also learned ten languages.
B: And if you were wondering about that weapon before, don't worry one bit...it's here.
W: This performance-enhancing drug, called 'Venom', greatly increases Bane's muscle mass, thus making him even stronger, faster and more durable. However, it costs him his intellect. And should the venom tubes be cut or damaged Bane will resort to his normal form and be worse for wear than before he took the drug.
B: Bane is still no slouch without the venom, not only did he break batman's back also broke Killer Croc's back! Then, he survived Batman breaking his...skeletal, muscular and nervous systems...wait HOW?!
W: Bane is also a master of combat. He has a photographic memory and matched Ra's Al-Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins/Shadows.
B: Bane can lift a thousand-pound truck! And remember Venom? Yeah, guy was smart enough he made a version that doesn't turn him into a mindless zombie! So you're up against someone who has an insane amount of physicality AND mentality!
W: As such, it has become quite clear that you do not mess with Bane.
Bane: Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!
The Penguin[]
(Cue: "I want it all" -Queen)
W: Oswald Chesterfeild Cobblepot, no pun intended: Seemed to have it all. He was born into a very wealthy family and was meant to eventually take over said wealth.
B: Well he would have if... He didn't look like a human penguin? Oh c'mon guys this is stupid!
W: While his appearance might be less than human, Oswald would still receive the huge wealth his deceased father and overprotective mother had left him. Oswald was relentlessly bullied at school {Noticing a theme?} and drawing inspiration from the umbrella's his mother would constantly give him, Cobblepot became the criminal mastermind known as: The Penguin
B: Ugh... Seriously? ANOTHER animal themed villain?
W: Well don't let his cartoony or small appearance fool you. Penguin is a very intelligent person, and has a cunning leadership tactic that has led him to becoming one of the most feared gangsters in Gotham city, and that's saying something.
B: The Penguin carries a wide. Heh wide. Variety of trick umbrella's at his disposal, his favorites among them being his Bulletproof umbrella which can of course block bullets, his famous firearm umbrella, and his flying umbrella? I'M MARY POPPINS YA'LL.
Other Umbrellas
-Flamethrower Umbrella
-Acid Umbrella
-Sword Umbrella which has a retractable blade on the end
-Missle Umbrella {Uncommon}
-Poison Tipped Umbrellas
W: While not his first choice of weaponry, the penguin does also carry some variety of Guns, both firearms and sidearms. While not always accessible, penguin does carry with him more time than not: Remote control Penguin bombs-..
B: FOR FUCK'S SAKE
W: ... Which are actually powerful enough as a stick of dynamite which are 25% more powerful than TNT.'
B: Well SOMEHOW, this lard can actually fight hand to hand. While he's less durable than a normal person considering his deformity, normally not taking a punch before going down for the count. AND having most to write home about with his stamina concerning he is an overweight man. But he can actually throw hands with those more physically imposing than him.
W: But even with that, he would normally be considered less than a human physically, and although he has shown great intelligence, he has a hard time prioritizing and will normally be caught up in his own self confidence and greed rather than fight smart.
B: Well I GUESS he isn't TOTALLY terrible, maybe he'll quack out a victory?
Max Shreck: Is that supposed to hypnotize me or something?
Danny DeVito Penguin: NO BUT IT WILL GIVE YOU A SPLITTING HEADACHE!
Mr. Freeze[]
(Cue: "Cold as Ice" -Foreigner)
W: Victor Fries was a cryoscientist {The branch of biology involving the study of the effects of low temperatures on organisms} that had it all. A good job, a loving wife and a normal life.
B: Wellllll... until Nora, his wife got an unknown and un-curable disease that was killing her. To save her life, he froze her in a state of cryostasis to keep her frozen, but alive.
W: But Victor was not as lucky. His boss: Ferris Boyle, Stole Nora in her cryostasis and blackmailed Victor to make ice weapons for Boyle's company GothCorp {What an original name}. The plan went wrong and Fries fell into the container full of sub zero chemicals andmutated so that he could only survive in sub-zero tempreture.
B:Out for revenge and love, Victor built an Ice Mech Suit to keep him at Sub-Zero temps no matter where he went. Along with that, he built a giant ice hand-cannon to steal back his wife and save her life, becoming: Mr. Freeze
(Cue: "Ice, Ice, Baby" -Vanilla Ice)
W: While Freeze might be frail on the outside, inside the suit is anything but. It carries multiple filter, sensory, and hacking systems. It can survive explosions without a scratch, is completely bulletproof, and even the supposedly weak spot: the glass dome of the suit can take multiple hits from Batman without showing signs of breaking! Not only is the suit extremely durable, it possesses it's own incredible abilities, like being able to lift whole trucks off the ground and ripping metal doors off their hinges.
B: Victor himself is a technical genius! He built his suit, cannon, freeze grenades, AND ice gauntlets all by himself, most of which with limited supplies
W: Like other villains here, Victor is extremely intelligent but UNLIKE the others, he seems to have a whole other level of intelligence, claiming to be on par when it comes to technology with the supergenius Lex Luthor! Who himself is comparable to Brainiac, while its highly unlikely Fries is comparable to Brainiac, he is easily one of the most intelligent villains in the DC universe.
B: Freeze's patented 2 handed ice gun {Even though he CAN hold it with one hand} has incredible juice behind it, freezing almost anything it hits instantly. And given enough time; He has frozen cargo ships into literal icebergs, freeze AND shatter titanium.
W: Well not's get ahead of ourselves, Freeze is in no ways perfect. While his reactions are sound the suit itself lacks speed and can be short circuited by a high enough shock AND can still be broken by stronger opponents and does have its share of weak spots. And Victor's most glaring weaknesses are that he cannot survive outside his suit or a cold evnviroment for at the most: 1 hour. This and coupled with the fact Freeze is VERY protective of his wife and will act rashly should he believe she is in any danger.
B: But why would you want to get someone so cool and collected all hot headed?
Arnold Schwarzenegger Mr. Freeze: "What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE"
Killer Croc[]
(Cue: "Crocodile Rock" -Elton John)
B: You know Wiz, I think me and Killer Croc have a lot in common.
W: What? The daddy issues?
B: ...I was gonna say the hulking strength.
W: Sure you were. Anyway... When young Waylon Jones was born it seemed like life wanted him to fail. After his father left him his mother died in childbirth, and on top of that he was forced to live with his abusive aunt and have no friends in school.
B: Oh yeah that and he had a skin disease that basically turned him into a living crocodile- wait what.
W: Young Waylon seemed to have a sort of "regressive atavism" which is a fancy way of saying he was born with animal-like behavior or features, after restoring to a life of alligator wrestling Jones would grow amazing strength, tossing around his "opponents" like nothing. But even after all that Waylon was still bullied relentlessly, so he took a life of crime and retreated to the sewer for a safe haven and became the urban legend known as: Killer Croc
B: While still being treated as one, Killer Croc doesn't seem to be human. He really does seem to be a human-crocodile hybrid which makes me think. What the hell was his mother doing?!
W: Boomstick- the power breakdown?
B: Oh yeah sorry. Like a REAL crocodile: Jones has a ridiculous bite strength! He easily bites the arms off of humans clean off, but what some don't know is he was able to LIFT UP THE 1000 lb SOLOMON GRUNDY...USING ONLY HIS JAWS!
W: Not only that but his weightlifting physique makes him a strong powerlifter too, he can toss heavy crates full of supplies like NOTHING, tears apart steel elevators and vault doors, topple trucks, kills a BULL with one well placed punch, and can even knock out Batman with 1 punch!
(Cue: "One Punch Man Theme")
B: And for a supposed human he is one tough scaly son of a bitch. High caliber bullets don't phase him even at a close range, he takes falls from buildings and gets right back up...without a broken anything.
W: But curiously enough, Killer Croc does seem to have actual crocodilian traits. If he gets your scent he can track you throughout the entirety of Gotham City, is an amazing swimmer and can hold his breath FAR longer than a normal human can, he can even feel your vibrations in the water. And like a fox caught in a trap or a lizard on the brink of death...
W: He can bite his own limbs off
B: AH GOD WHAT THE HELL?!
W: Yes, should he find it needed. Killer Croc could bite his limbs off if he is in a pinch, AND THEY GROW BACK. Granted... this takes at least a week to do.
B: And Croc's antics sometime do more harm than good. Since he grew up in a slum, Croc is not very intelligent. He actually relies on animal instinct more than anything and does have a few weaknesses.
W: Correct. For one he has a weakness to electricity, yes he has grown a sort of tolerance to it, but still be mentioned none the less. And he can be killed by ALL conventinal means, it's just tough to get through his hide.
Harley Quinn: Why do you eat people?
Killer Croc: Gives me their power.
Harley Quinn: Would you like to eat me?
Killer Croc: Hell no.
Harley Quinn: Aw, why not?
Killer Croc: I don't want your crazy. Harley Quinn: Says the guy who lives in a sewer.
Killer Croc: At least I know it's a sewer.
Two-Face[]
(Cue: "Arkham City Title Theme")
W: Harvey Dent was Gotham's greatest D.A and lawyer he was one of the few true heroes in such a dark miserable place, being able to instill hope to the hopless, Putting away some of Gotham's worst of the worst, Harvey was beloved by the public.
B: But I guess putting all those people away kinda left a sour taste in the mouths of criminals and while in the middle of a trail, a crime boss by the name of Salvatore Maroni jumped up from the stand and threw acid in Harvey's face, horribly burning half of it.
W: When this happened, a secret dark side of Dent surfaced. A violent, dual personality, the complete opposite of Harvey: Two-Face.
Two-Face: "Batman's fate-given destiny is to oppose evil and ugliness. I act and he reacts! Let him come! I never run!!"
.jpg){kind=link}
B: Yeah lets back up... Dent here had, well we'll just call them some daddy issues, when he was young his father would decide wether to beat him or not by: a flip of a coin? Seriously? Although that might explain why my dad left-
W: Ahem. After this physically and mentally scarring incident, Dent believed he must become evil to rid Gotham of that same evil, he spends his every waking day trying to kill mafia bosses and taking over their empires and slowly started to become the very thing he set to destroy. Two-Face was finally a reality.
B: Harvey now carries a wide variety of weapons including: his famous dual pistols, different types of machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers!, and like any self respecting mob boss would carry: A tommy gun.
W: He's trained in marksmanship by Deathstroke, shows great detective and stealth skills, resists the affects of toxins, and was once taught hand to hand combat by batman himself! Although Dent has shown very little superhuman feats, he has shown to be mostly peak human condition if not for the little protection the burnt side of his face has, making it a literal target.
B: And while Dent's law knowledge makes him a smart foe he does have one easy to exploit weakness. His coin, yes two-face carries around the same coin as his father and his dual personality makes it essential for him to make decisions.
W: Should Dent lose or have his coin taken away from him, he becomes nearly unable to make a decision without it, making him a complete sitting duck!
B: But good luck taking it, Harvey protects his precious with his LIFE and would rather shoot you dead then let you even get close!
W: Huh.. that was an oddly short summary-
B: I know uh... wanna flip a coin?
Wiz would flip a penny with Boomstick grabbing it out of the air and flipping it over to his side
B: Yoink!
Wiz would facepalm
Man-Bat[]
(Cue "The Bat Song" -Whizpops)
W: Dr. Kirk Langstrom was an amazing scientist and zoologist working for his childhood friend by the name of Bruce Wayne, who was determined to experiment and bring in the next step in human evolution...!
B: BATS!
W: Yes really, Langstrom would grow to find a facination of Bats which led to Kirk believing that bats had untold medical usage.
B: And when the doc began to lose his hearing, like all scientists do when they have an ailment, he tested a serum made straight from Bat-DNA on himself because that's smart and this is comic books ,that caused him to turn into a giant bat creature, dubbed the Man-Bat. Get it? it's Batman but, reversed so instead of a- Oh you know!
W: Originally Langstrom could not control the Man-Bat, but since has used his gifted mind to create a cure and eventually learned how to turn into the Man-Bat at will! Now no longer possessing just a simple minded animalistic brain and being unable to speak, Kirk can guide the crazy strength of his alter ego with his mind to make the ultimate creature of the night.
B: As the beast he possesses super-hearing, a complete stealth mastery {he was capable of sneaking up on batman IN the batcave}, super-strength, a flight speed of over 165+ mph as he was able to outpace and out-maneuver the batwing, and echolocation! He's SOOO strong in fact he has torn through the bat-suit, tossed around the BATMOBILE! He's even brought down freaking planes by himself!
W: Now don't be fooled, The Man-Bat did not crash the plane, AND this was not something the size of a commercial airliner, while this is very impressive this isn't the strength of lets say: Bane.
B: Well, actually Wiz, It's fair to say killer croc has shown to be stronger than bane, and both killer croc AND man-bat have shown to break open vaults with ease so it's actually likely Man-Bat is stronger than Bane
W: Oh no- there must be a mistake in the script and- huh. well... I guess you're right
B: Maybe after all these years you're finally on MY level of intellect.
W: Well anyway... the Man-Bat is a tough nut to crack, and not in the intimate way. He's able to survive being underwater for several hours, survived point blank explosions, can burst though solid brick walls, and SEEMS to be invulnerable to electricity. But of course like all things, Man-Bat has weaknesses and limits. He can be immobilized or even controlled by extremely loud noises, has a vampiric weakness to sunlight and must consume blood to get his energy. And should Kirk in his Man-Bat form take enough damage he could even be knocked out of the form and be forced to turn back into his human self, although it is implied he has a small strength boost afterwards as a result of the transformation.
B: But Manny batty boy does have ONE more thing in his arsenal!
W: If he sees fit, Langstrom can let go control of Man-Bat and would return to his previous animal mindset which makes him run purly on instinct and adrenaline, where it is almost impossible to predict how or who he'll attack.
B: You think he'll "Man-Bat" up to the challenge?
W: I hate you...That wasn't even good.
Kirk Langstrom: "I want to be like the Batman, I want to be feared."
The Riddler[]
(Cue: "Don't You Wish You Were Me" -Chris Jericho)
W: Unlike almost EVERYONE else here, Edward Nygma doesn't have any tragic backstory or any kind of special powers. No, he just wanted to be better than Batman.
B: But since he was smart enough not to turn himself into some kind of "question monster" doing it, he decided to beat Batman...in the mind, OOOooooOH so evil. So yeah he became the "Riddler". I'm sorry I can't take this guy serious enough.
W: While Edward might not be physically intimidating or have any sort of combat training, he does carry his signature question mark cane which he often uses as a bludgeoning weapon. But physical combat is far from the Riddler's expertise, he relies mostly planned out traps and attacks to get the psychological advantage over his stronger and faster opponents
B: Eddie here is an extraordinary genius, he can hack into almost anything, engineers his own death traps, once found out Batman's identity and often claiming he is smarter than The Dark Knight. Which he has yet to prove. But hey he could be smarter than you Wiz!
W: I doubt that VERY much. The Riddler doesn't show any signs of any "Superpowers" but does have feats we can base him off of. He's shrugged off being run over by a car, takes punches from both Batman AND Dick Grayson {The first Robin} who are both at the absolute peak and even higher than human limitations!
B: Now Nygma is less than perfect. Like mentioned before besides his cane, The Riddler lacks any combat experience and will sink in a 1 on 1 fight.
W: Not only that but Riddler is incredibly egotistical and cocky to the point where he lets his guard down ALL the time, believing he is higher than everyone else and will even INTENTIONALLY leave clues to his defeat. This coupled along with the fact his death traps take days to assemble does limit the man's options.
B: But despite how silly he is, the Riddler should be...taken seriously? Nah that can't be right
Jim Carrey Riddler: "Riddle me this. Riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big black bat?"
Prelude[]
W: Alright with all the analysis out the way, we have run the possibilities and come to a conclusion.
B: AND NOW, ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BATTTTTLLLLLLEEE!!! Battle Royale Edition-
The Fight[]
The scene opens up with all the combatants in their specific cells inside Arkham Asylum
Cue the camera cutting to a control room with Hugo Strange inside
Hugo: Let them all out...
Random Guard: But sir! They will tear the place down!
Hugo: Do not worry..This is all part of my: "Experiment"
Random Guard: As you wish sir.
The guard would open all the cells in the room with dozens of inmates running out with our main combatants rushing to grab their gear.
Killer Croc would grab a prisoner and toss them at Bane, who would catch them and drop them to the side
Killer Croc: Betta stay out my way Bane, you aint got your drug to fight back.
Bane would sucker punch killer croc
Bane: I do not need my "drug"
Harley Quinn: PRISON FIIIGHT!!
F I G H T
Killer Croc would immediately try to tackle Bane, with the non-venom filled man brawling with him as we cut to the "confiscated items" hallway
Everyone would be taking separate routes to the room, with Croc and Bane fighting in the East hallway. Joker, Two-face, Riddler, & Penguin taking the West. and Harley & Catwoman taking the South
Harley Quinn: Sorry Boo- She would trip Catwoman as they raced towards the room
Catwoman: Oof- HARLEY! Selina would Grab Harleen's ankle and start throwing hands with her
Catwoman: What did Ivy give you this time... a "super soilder serum"?
Harley would block one of her punches, twisting her arm
Harley Quinn: Not far off dollface!
As they fight the camera pans to The Riddler, The Joker, The Penguin, & Two-Face running neck and neck
The Joker: The barbershop quartet! BACK TOGETHER AT LAST!
Two-Face: WRONG- ASSCLOWN! Dent would take a swing at the Joker with the clown falling next to a wall, chuckling all the way
Harley Quinn: As much as I'd like to talk 'lina, I got to get a plant for Ivy. After that.. gimmie a call! Maybe I'll even bring you your stuff.
Harley would strut off to the room with Catwoman sitting on the floor, licking the blood off her face
We cut to Mr. Freeze without his suit inside his cell, with the cold air leaving. He would fall on the floor as his body heated up, he would start crawling to the room which held his suit as fast as he could
Bane: YOU KNOW NOTHING OF STRENGTH!!
Bane would lift killer croc over his head and toss him into the ground, with a small crater forming
Bane: That is only a little of what is to come. Stay out of my way if you wish to live
Bane would walk to room with the near-unconsious croc still on the ground
Harley would be giggling over having got her gear and a potted plant with Bane entering the room
Harley Quinn: Well look at you big green!
Bane: I have no business with you second rate clown Bane would grab his venom dispenser and strap it to his chest
Harley Quinn: Well that aint very nice of ya..
Bane: I have no reason to deal with the joker's girlfriend.
Harley Quinn: HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!
Harley would run up to Bane and break her baseball bat over his back, as bane began to grow in size
Harley Quinn: Oh... Shit- She would bolt out the room and into the hallway where croc was
Bane: COME HERE YOU LITTLE WENTCH-
Harley would stop next to croc and try to wake him up
Harley Quinn: GET YOUR GREEN ASS UP- BANE'S GONNA KILL ME!
Harley would shoot off her pop gun right next to killer croc's ear, waking him up instantly
Harley Quinn: Oh jesus Christ-
Croc would toss Harley, with her barley able to catch the plant
Bane: I said you would die by my hand if you stood in my way!
The 2 beasts would charge at eachother, with bane picking up croc and pushing him toward's the cell block
Harley Quinn: COME ON!
The 3 of then would launch into the cell block with the potted plant breaking, then growing until poison ivy walked out
Poison Ivy: Ahh.. that's better, thank you harl. She'd set Harley on her feet
Harley Quinn: No problem red!
We cut to the Riddler and The Penguin in the room, searching for their gear
Penguin: AHA!
The Penguin would turn around pointing an umbrella at the Riddler, with Edward using his staff to grab the umbrella, only to shoot off blanks
Riddler: Mere blanks.. a child could figure that out.
The penguin would grab a couple more umbrellas before kicking Riddler in the shin
Riddler: WHY YOU LITTLE- He would chase Cobblepot up a flight of stairs to the roof. With the camera staying in place as Mr. Freeze somehow crawled into the room
Two-Face: Well, well, well. Look what the iceman dragged in.
Mr. Freeze: My... suit-
Two-Face: Oh this? Yeah. You want me to end your suffering now?!
Freeze would try to grab his freeze gun which Two-Face kicking it out of his hands
Two-Face: Maybe I should...
Mr. Freeze: Wait! The coin!
Two-Face: Fine. Heads I shoot you now, tails I sit here and watch you die.
Harvey would flip his coin when suddenly: Fries grabbed his gun and shot the coin in mid-air, making it fall and shatter into pieces
Two-Face: NO!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? Fries would pull himself up and smack Harvey on his scarred side of his face
Mr. Freeze: I did. What had to be done.
Freeze would fire his ray at Two-face with Dent screaming until it faded into silence.
Victor would pull himself into his suit and with a cold breath, he shattered dent with a single punch
K. O.
We now cut to the Riddler and the Penguin on top the roof of the Asylum
Riddler: Cobblepot you're an overweight man, you will get tired soon enough!
Penguin: You think ya smart eh? IM SMARTER THAN ALL OF YA'S COMBINED
Riddler: I doubt that very much.
The Penguin would use his flamethrower umbrella to block Edward's path
Penguin: Think what ya like. But I dont give a shite! I'd love to stay and chit chat but, not really. I got a city to take over! He would take out his famous helicopter umbrella and start to fly away, laughing maniaclly
Riddler: Hm... well I have 1 question for you Chesterfeild.
Penguin: Yeah? What's that?
Riddler: What is the opposite than the dark knight in name, but is anything but the same?
Penguin: Uhh… What??
The Riddler would have a big smirk on his face as out of nowhere Man-Bat would catch the penguin out of the sky, tearing him apart
K. O.
Riddler: Hmph. Guess you WERE smarter than I thought. The Riddler would turn around, but with a huge gust of wind, the Man-Bat would put out the fire with his wings and land in front of a terrified Riddler, towering over him
Riddler would swing his Staff at it but Man-Bat would grab it and bend it in half, as Riddler tried to run, Man-Bat would wrap the staff around his neck and carry him to the main hall where he would leave him hanging on "Display"
K. O.
Joker: What's the answer to that riddle? it's hanging off the edge of my tounge!
'As the Joker Laughed hysterically at his Joke, Bane would crash killer croc into the room
Joker: OOoo goodie! I always wanted a pet Lizard! He would smack his crowbar over Killer Croc's head
Joker: Eh. I'm bored. Hey Bane my Boy! Take care of my light work.
Bane: I work for nobody clown!
Bane would hold up Joker as killer croc slowly got up
Joker: Easy on the merch big boy!
Killer Croc would bite into the venom tubes as Joker stabbed Bane in the eye with a penil
Bane: AGH-! NO!!
Bane would backfist killer croc as he shrunk down back to his human size, but as soon as he turned back to joker, a gun was pointed straight at his face. BANG!
K. O.
Joker: Looks like you got your win back huh?
Killer Croc would growl as he charged at joker, but he as merely smoke, as everything went black
Killer Croc: H-HUH?! ...aUNTIE??
Waylon would have a hallucination of the abuse he suffered as a child
Killer Croc: I-I...
The Scarecrow would take his syringe out of the back of killer croc's knee
Scarecrow: Sleep Jones... for it will be your eternal slumber. He would push the now dead killer croc over as joker looked unimpressed
K. O.
Scarecrow: So... what do YOU fear "Joker"?
Joker: Hm. Not much Crane baby. Maybe not getting a table at my local Denny's!
Scarecrow: Just let me have a little look-see
The 2 of them would take out knives and try to stab eachother as Poison Ivy & Harley walked past, carrying Catwoman's things
Poison Ivy: Ugh... What a couple of creeps.
Harley Quinn: KICK HIS ASS JOHN! KICK HIS MAKEUP COVERED ASS
Poison Ivy: Harley- She'd pull her along as they went back to Catwoman who was still sitting on the ground
Catwoman: What took you ladies so long?
Poison Ivy: We enjoyed the scenic walk, now take your stuff and lets get moving.
Scarecrow and Joker were embroiled in a heated knife fight
Joker: Tell me Johnny, What do YOU fear?
Scarecrow: That is for me to know and for you to ponder.
Joker: Oh Reeeeally?
Scarecrow would slide out his Scythe as Joker blocked a swipe with his cane sword
Joker: Anything you can do I can do better!
Scarecrow: I can do anything better than you.
The Scythe would knock the cane out of Joker's hand, as he ducked and dodged Crane's attacks
Joker: No you can't!
Scarecrow: Yes I can!
Using the scythe: Crane would sweep Joker's legs and leap for the killing blow as Joker sprayed his toxin from his trick flower
Scarecrow: You idiot... that doesn't work on me!
Joker: I know... YET
The clown would smack crane across the face with a crowbar, shattering part of his gasmask
Scarecrow: YOU LITTLE!
Scarecrow would stab a laughing Joker with his "Fear Fingers" as once again everything would go dark
We cut to the Joker Dancing in a dark void as Scarecrow started towering in size due to the hallucination
Scarecrow: YOU ARE MINE!
Joker: Oh no no no, YOU'RE MINE! Mr. J Would draw his pistol with a big flag saying "BANG!"
Joker: DANMMED THING! He would smack the pistol a few times before Scarecrow's own fear gas started coming out
Scarecrow: Wait..WAIT NO!
Scarecrow would shrink to a tiny size as the Joker would form into the Batman Who Laughs in the dream
Joker: OH YES BABY!
Joker would stomp on crane, while in the real world, crane was getting curb stomped by the Joker as the clown laughed hysterically
K. O.
Harley Quinn: Welp. Guess my "puddin" won-
The 6 remaining villains: Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, The Joker, Man-Bat, & Mr. Freeze would all find themselves back in the main hall
Joker: AWWw… is this all that's left?? I was starting to have fun.
Poison Ivy: Quiet "clown prince"
The Gotham City Sirens would stand together across from Mr. Freeze, Joker, and Man-Bat who would let out a howling screech
Joker: Come get it ladies!
Harley would run straight for the Joker as Ivy and Catwoman went for Mr. Freeze and Man-Bat repectivley
We Focus on Man-Bat and Catwoman, as Selina dodges Man-Bat with her matrix like abilites
Catwoman: Not exactly the kind of bat I wanted to see today.
Man-Bat would rip a chunk out of the wall and toss it at Catwoman, with her being able to slice them in half with her whip. Man-Bat would dive bomb from the rafters of the Asylum as Catwoman tossed a bola at him min flight, trapping and downing him
Catwoman: Sorry Kirk. This just isn't gonna be your night
She would turn over a struggling Man-Bat, clawing him as he tired to escape until the Bat let out a deafening scream that echoed throughout the entire asylum
Catwoman: ARGH!!
Man-Bat would dash forward and carry Catwoman to one of the cells, where he would brutally bang her head off of until she fell limp and bleeding
After the beast realized she was still alive it would pick her up and fly with her to the outside, dropping her to the grounds below. but before she landed, she latched onto a building and fled through a window, but when Man-Bat investigated it: he was met with caltrops to the face, Catwoman would leap onto of Him as he flailed about in the air
Meanwhile inside, Poison Ivy would be sending her legions of plants to the calm, cool, and collected Mr. Freeze
Poison Ivy: Teaming with killer clowns now Victor?
Mr. Freeze: No we have merely found ourselves in the same situation but have such taken a different direction. Simple as that.
Poison Ivy: You always did have a way with words Victor.
Mr. Freeze: And you always have a way of twisting them.
Fries would blast an incoming vine and shatter it with his fist before getting wrapped up by another one from behind
Poison Ivy: Now just relax. It'll be over soon.
Ivy would seductivly walk over to a trapped fries and blow a kiss
Mr. Freeze: My frozen heart only beats for one. It is not you
Freeze would fire his gun into the ground, making a shard of ice stab through the vulnerable Ivy
K. O.
Harley Quinn: IVY!! Harley pushes over Joker as she ran to Mr. Freeze, smacking him right in the dome with her mallet YOU'RE GONNA PAY ICEBOY!
Man-Bat would come crashing in through the walls, with Catwoman being flung off his back down hard into a railing
Down to the floor. And finally Man-Bat landing on her, momentairly crushing her. But while Mr. Freeze was holding back Harley, using his inferred vision Freeze would spot Man-Bat who launched himself at him. But would get his wings frozen as the fell and shattered
Joker: STRIKEOUT!
Unable to escape, Man-Bat would get shot by the Joker using a small shotgun. Killing him almost instantly
K. O.
Joker: YOU KIDDOS HAVE FUN! while I wait..
Freeze would be taking attacks from both Harley and Catwoman as they used their quickness to their advantage, brining him to his knees before Catwoman latched onto freeze's dome, using her claws to puncture through. But before they could do anymore damage: Victor would plant a freeze grenade which froze then blew up both Harley and Selina
DOUBLE K. O.
Mr. Freeze: Just you and me clown
Joker: COME AND GET IT!
Joker would run right for Fries before getting "Cold Clocked" back into the wall
Mr. Freeze: This is over.
Joker: Oh this is ALL too familiar..
Freeze would pick up the Joker by the neck
Joker: AcK. WAIT. just crack, ONE smile for me Freeze? For the wife?
Mr. Freeze: ... No-
A green gas coming from Joker's trick flower would fill through the holes of freeze's mask
Joker: But OH yes..
To stop himself from laughing, Freeze would use his own gun to freeze the holes in his helmet, finding himself stumbling everywhere
Joker: WAKEY WAKEY TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF SNAKEY
Joker would use his crowbar to smash the whole frozen helmet off. Then planting a pie in the face of victor
Mr. Freeze: WAIT NO!
Joker would fire a bullet into the pie, creating an explosion that only left the bottom half of freeze left
K. O.
The Scene ends with Joker laughing hysterically as Hugo Strange looked on pleased with his work
The Results[]
B: Out of allllll that, THE CLOWN WON?!
W: While it SEEMS somewhat implausible the Joker would win this fight, there were a few things we will get to in a moment that are in his favor. But first in order of eliminations.
W: Two-Face on the outside looked like he held a solid advantage against the other "Human" Villains. BUT he may be invulnerable to most toxins, the scarred part of his body is VERY fragile and although he may be a great mind ESPECIALLY in the ways of criminals, his dual personality created too many oppertunites to fail.
B: Next we have the Penguin. Who shockingly wasn't the least physical threat, but certainly had very big flaws. For 1. he couldn't keep up with his competition due to his size and with his huge ego putting him at risk. Only thing keeping him above Two-Face was his varied arsenal
W: We come to The Riddler: Who really only had 1 thing going for him: His mind. He possesses no combat training and only carries his staff as a weapon. But his extreme intelligence to evade the more ruthless villains prolonged his survival
B: Killer Croc would be one of the few true powerhouses in this fight but even though he has shown to exceed his rival Bane in strength, he had nowhere near the mind and skills required to go the distance. In fact in one of Bane's first appearances, he beats killer croc to a pulp with NO VENOM. And speaking of him: Bane's death may come as a shock but whenever he's on the venom train there is always one REAL big de-railer. His tubes, should they be cut Bane goes into a recession of some kind which leaves him in a vulnerable state to which could be taken advantage of
W: Scarecrow like Bane had a glaring weakness of his own: His own powerful fear toxin which is his main weapon, could be used against him AND a good chunk of the other fighters were immune to such toxins. Not leaving Crane with much else
B: The one who actually surprised us the most during our research was Man-Bat! He had comparable strength to Killer Croc & Bane! And having the bonus of being able to fly wasn't "Bat" either. But like most of the others. He showed nothing to make us believe he could take this fight. Sure, there might be an instance where he COULD, but same could go for the Penguin or Riddler. This combined with his weakness to high pitched noises is why we believe Man-Bat would lose.
W: Then down to the final 5. The 3 sirens: Ivy, Harley, & Catwoman COULD have taken this but due to them being mostly frail compared to others here is a glaring weakness. And while Catwoman may have had 9 lives, this didn't mean she coulndt be killed instantly which would render that power usless as she can't recover from such attacks. AND THIS IS DEATH BATTLE. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TEAM UP. But in all seriousness, Ivy would be pretty likely to win if not for the Ice Wall known as: Mr. Freeze
B: In a way. Freeze had A little bit of everyone. He had the knowledge of the riddler, the resitances of Bane & Scarecrow but amplified, the strength of Man-Bat or Killer Croc, and a perseverance like no other. Freeze had an answer for everyone. Except. Joker
W: You see, the reason we believe The Joker would win is because. Well he's done all this before, he's had interactions like this with almost EVERYONE here, While he is not phycially strong, he is a master of the insane mind. While Riddler and Freeze had Intelligence, The Joker had influence. That is why we believe the winner would be: The Joker
B: Looks like this "Joke", "Killed" the whole crowd. Yes. We're "Dead Serious"
