Description[]

DC vs. Marvel. Season 8 premiere. They seek vengeance against the criminals of the world with the weapon of fear.

Introduction[]

Wiz: Tragedy and vengeance are concepts forever linked with one another, with the initiation of one always giving to birth to the other.

Boomstick: And from this cycle will come those determined to take their revenge. And often, it's through good old vicious vigilantism.

Wiz: Like Batman, DC's Dark Knight.

Boomstick: And Punisher, Marvel's ruthless criminal hunter. He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Batman[]

Wiz: Gotham City. Out of all the settings in the DC world, there are few other places that are infested with criminals.

Boomstick: It's a...pretty bad place to live. I mean, you run the risk of getting caught up in the criminal antics of one of Gotham's many premiere villains. Frankly, it's a miracle that people are still living there!

Wiz: The likeliest explanation, the economy sucks. It would literally explain so much. But just as Gotham is the birthplace of a literal legion of super-criminals, it is also the birthplace of one of the world's greatest heroes.

Boomstick: That's right; it's the goddamn Batman!

Wiz: But before the Batman, there was Bruce Wayne, son of millionaire philanthropists Thomas and Martha Wayne. No Martha jokes!

Boomstick: I wasn't going to!

  • Background
    • Real Identity: Bruce Wayne
    • Age: 41
    • Height: 6'2
    • Member of the Justice League
    • Net Worth: $9.2 billion
    • Dated 20+ different women (including Wonder Woman)

Wiz: I doubt that...any, young Bruce Wayne had it all; money, a future as head of a company worth nearly 10 billion US dollars...

Boomstick: And two living parents.

Wiz:...guess which one of these three things he lost.

Boomstick: At the hands of a man who just wanted a bit of money.

Wiz: Crushed beyond belief at a tragedy that was as pointless as it was sudden, young Bruce Wayne decided that if his money was to be inherited as a result of it, he would put it to use.

Boomstick: Not through charity events or fundraisers, although I'm fairly certain he did a few of those, but through molding himself into a one-man army ready to take on the criminal element within his city.

Wiz: And whilst his money helped enormously with this goal, it wasn't it that provided him with perhaps the most vital component; a symbol to bring fear to the hearts of the guilty and the superstitious.

Boomstick: It came to him through his window, the very symbol of his old childhood fears; the bat.

Wiz: From that moment on, Batman was born.

Boomstick: And he is an absolute badass, all thanks to his time wandering the world to hone his mind and his body.

  • Abilities and Skills
    • Peak-human physical condition
    • Master martial artist
    • Expert tactician
    • Genius intellect
    • Expert detective
    • Expert in stealth
    • Escape artistry

Wiz: He has studied and mastered every martial art known to man, which include pressure points that can induce paralysis and slow the flow of blood inside somebody's body.

Boomstick: He's even been trained by ninjas in the art of espionage and stealth, honing it to a point where he can vanish from someone with superhuman senses like Superman, and even knows a breathing-meditation technique that lets him survive with the tiniest amount of oxygen ever. All part of his crusade to gain the perfect human body.

Wiz: Furthermore in that regard, he has trained himself to be able to operate with only a few hours of sleep, has become a a master escape artist and has even honed a sixth sense of sorts that lets him avoid incoming danger. Not exactly a Spider-Sense but still.

Boomstick: And, believe it or not, he knows magic! Magic! Because he's Batman! Though I don't think he uses it very often.

Wiz: Perhaps most importantly, out of all Batman's skills is his stellar intelligence. He's considered the world's greatest detective, able to analyze most crime scenes in seconds, and is considered the second smartest human on Earth.

Boomstick: To give you an idea of the bar's height for that, Lex Luthor is the number one smartest human, and he was smart enough to solve the evil mathematics of the Anti-Life Equation. But where brains and brawn rarely fail, Batman has his toys to fall back on. His wonderful, wonderful toys!

  • Arsenal
    • Batsuit
      • Bullet, shock and fire proof
      • Cape hardens into glider
      • Night, UV and Infrared Vision
    • Batarangs
      • Explosive
      • Shock
    • Batclaw
    • Bat caller
    • Gas pellets
    • Explosive gel
    • Bolas
    • Flash-bang grenades
    • Batmobile Remote

Wiz: First and foremost is the Batsuit. Not only inspired to invoke terror in the hearts of criminals but it is also bulletproof, resistance to shock and fire, and comes equipped with a ten-thousand volt administrator, giving any attempting to remove the cowl a nasty shock.

Boomstick: Literally, though probably not as shocking if they actually see he's Bruce Wayne. And like a bat, Batman's has means to navigate in the dark with night, UV and infrared vision settings in his cowl.

Wiz: And naturally, the cape that comes with the suit can be used to glide through the air. Also, the suit comes with wrist-mounted claws that aren't just for show.

Boomstick: Things like those are how you get scars, like the kind you get from his Batarangs.

Wiz: There are several notable Batarangs that Batman can hurl out with deadly precision aside from the usual hurty kind; the explosive Batarang, the electric Batarang and even the remote controlled Batarang, which he is able to directly guide the path of.

Boomstick: Batman's also got bolas, tear gas pellets, smoke pellets and a device that uses sonar to call on swarms of bats, of which Gotham appears to have a large population of.

Wiz: And should the need arise, likely in the event he encounters a foe much more physically capable than himself, then he can directly call on the Batmobile. An armored vehicle that can zoom around at 330 miles per hour.

Boomstick: If that's what Batman needs to use to deal with juggernauts like Bane and Killer Croc, then it will definitely do the trick. Speaking of which, even without the Batmobile, Batman has fought superhumans just like them and more.

Wiz: Superhumans who should be perfectly capable of taking out Batman with a single strike but that's rarely enough to give them victory over the Batman.

  • Feats
    • 2nd smartest human on Earth
    • Fought off a shark and a crocodile
    • Created contingencies against nearly every super-being
    • Lifted 1000 pounds
    • Solved numerous cases
    • Dodged Omega Beams
    • Defeated Joker, Ra's, Bane, Superman, Batman who Laughs

Boomstick: Even when pushed to his absolute limit, like the time he was poised and buried alive, Batman still persists against any kind of threats.

Wiz: Threats like his archenemy the Joker, whose insane genius rivals Batman's own, and Ra's al Ghul, a resurrecting warlord with centauries of experience. He's strong enough to lift 1000 pounds, can leg press two-and-a-half times the weight and has reoutinely dodged bulletfire.

Popup: 2500 pounds translates to 1.25 tons.

Boomstick: Not just bullet fire, but lightning from super-villains and even Darkseid's Omega Beams. You know the kind, the ones that can turn mid-firing to track down their opponents by locking onto their atomic makeup signatures. Yeah, Batman avoided them.

Wiz: Even as a completely mortal man, Batman has proved himself an integral member of the Justice League because of his constant strategizing and contingency plans for practically any scenario. Many of which are actually protocols to be put into place to counter his fellow heroes if they ever went rogue.

Boomstick: He even has one for himself, which is actually just a reminded that he's a normal person and susceptible to all the usual weaknesses of such. Oh, and the tip he's not all there in the head.

Wiz: As a matter of fact, Batman's fragile sanity is likely the biggest justification of his number one rule; his refusal to take a life. We've seen plenty of times in other-worlds stories that if Batman ever decided to jump off that slope, it would create a monster greater than any other.

Boomstick: Just look at the Batman Who Laughs. Terrifying.

Wiz: Not even a confrontation with his ultimate perverted self is enough to stop Batman however. And nor is anything else.

Boomstick: Why? Because he's Batman!

Punisher[]

Wiz: The Marvel Universe is no stranger to anti-heroes.

Boomstick: They've got the clawed mutant Wolverine, the flaming skull demon Ghost Rider and the gamma-powered Hulk.

Wiz: But these are all the supernatural or empowered anti-heroes. For the anti-hero who possesses the most humanity, though not necessarily in spite, we look to the Punisher, judge, jury and executioner of the criminal.

  • Background
    • Real Name: Frank Castle
    • Age: 45
    • Height: 6'1
    • Italian-American descendant
    • Former US marine
    • Originally wished to become a priest

Boomstick: Before he was the Punisher, he was Frank Castle, the son to two immigrants from Sicily to escape organized crime. As a young man, he joined the army, hoping to use his time on Earth to make a difference.

Wiz: Unlike most realistic military jobs, Frank's time spent as a marine showed him many different conflicts, which he emerged through with flying colors. He was awarded several different medals for his time on duty, including up to four Purple Hearts.

Boomstick: That wasn't the only reward that Frank ended up with.

Wiz: You mean his loving wife and two children?

Boomstick: No, I'm talking about the Presidential Freedom Award! The highest honor a patriotic badass can be given. You know. For patriotic badassedness.

Wiz: Well, regardless, neither one was to last.

Boomstick: Strap in everyone; this gets tragic.

Wiz: On the day before he was due to be given the Presidential Freedom Award, Frank and his family went for a picnic in New York's Central, which was only a few moments away of becoming a slaughterhouse.

Boomstick: When two rival criminal group's little tiff ended up spilling into the park, it was Frank and his family that got caught in the crossfire.

Wiz: Out of the four of them, only Frank survived. And I'm sure you know what that means.

Boomstick: Former military badass with a ton of training and weapons on hand? I'm guessing rampage against the scum who killed his wife and kids.

Wiz: Oh trust me, that was only the start. Now with a deeply rooted hatred of all criminals, Frank decided that he would try a make a real difference in the world, by killing every last criminal he could get his hands on. To this end, he took on two new things. One, was the title of the Punisher.

Boomstick: And the other was a pirate's sign; a skull.

Wiz: There's actually a bit of history behind the decision to use a skull as his insignia. Back when he fought in Vietnam, Frank had a close encounter with an enemy soldier called the Monkey, whose hobby included painting skulls on the bodies of his enemies. Years after putting his six-feet under, Frank decided to take the symbol for himself.

Boomstick: He painted it right onto his shirt to let people know he meant business.

Wiz: Oh, it wasn't just to look intimidating. The stark white skull on his chest actually serves as a means of psychological influencing, as it draws enemy attention, and hopefully, the directions their guns are pointing. That's so he doesn't have to wear a mask or face-covering, in order for the criminals he executes see just who the hell he is.

Popup: In some incarnations, the teeth in the Punisher's skull are actually spare ammo clips.

  • Abilities
    • Peak-human condition
    • Firearm mastery
    • Strategist
    • Special-Ops training
    • Knows several martial arts
      • American close quarter combat
      • Shorin-ryu Karate
      • Hwa Rang Do
      • Chin Na
      • Nash Ryu Jujutsu
      • Ninjistu
    • Skull insignia draws enemy attention

Boomstick: And honestly, you don't need facial protection when you have as much skills and training under your belt like the Punisher does. Thanks to his time in the Marines, he's an expert as Special Ops strategy. That includes all manner of fields such as demolition, HALO jumping, Long Range Recon Patrol and Navy SEAL training.

Wiz: This has naturally all helped to hone Punisher's strategic mindset, along with his incredible attention to detail. As a matter of fact, that was how he was able to predict the movements of none-other than Spider-Man himself. Granted, this was before he developed the versatile Way of the Spider fighting style but even in the old days Spider-Man was a slippery devil.

Boomstick: He's also very well versed in fighting styles. Like American Close-Quarters combat, Karate, Jujitsu, and Hwa Rang Do. Oh! And Ninjistu as well, because why not. Anything to take out criminals.

Wiz: And not much more is useful in that regard that his extensive mastery of firearms.

Boomstick: Finally, we get onto the really good stuff! The guns! The lovely, lovely guns!

  • Arsenal
    • Kevlar uniform
    • M16
    • .223 caliber automatic rifles
    • Sterling Mark 6 9mm
    • Aemi-automatic rifles
    • 9mm Browning Llama automatic pistols
    • .223 caliber Derringers
    • Gerber Mark II combat knives
    • RPG
    • Wrist-mounted flamethrower
    • Freeze ray
    • Smoke pellets

Wiz: In case my co-hosts salivating isn't evidence enough, the Punisher has himself a lot of firearms on his person.

Boomstick: He's got automatic pistols, automatic rifles, small pistols used for close-quarters shooting, shotguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenade launchers and even freaking RPGs.

Wiz: Some of the ammunition of which are Adamantium tipped. And speaking of special weaponry, the Punisher has more at his disposal than ordinary guns.

Boomstick: You bite your tongue!

Wiz: Well it's true. The Punisher has managed to get his hands on some pretty-high tech weapons. Like wrist-mounted flamethrowers and even a freeze ray.

Boomstick: He does also have energy guns. But then again, they're most likely used to substitute actual guns because of the oh-so important child friendliness policies. At least the comics bring us the proper weapons the Punisher uses. Hell, at one point, he even got to use a War Machine armor! The heaviest duty of the heavy duty Iron Man suits.

Wiz: He also has knives, smoke pellets and his signature skull shirt is actually reinforced with Kevlar, rendering it with a degree of bulletproof-ness, which is why his aforementioned subtle-influencing works out.

Boomstick: Even if he did get hit, he's probably be fine. After all, he's taken being tossed into a car hard enough to dent it and kept on fighting even after losing a rib to a shotgun blast.

  • Feats
    • Served four Tours in Vietnam
    • Threw off 8 attacks at once
    • Bested a 42 man gang in a shootout
    • Feared by even Agent of SHIELD
    • Can lift men with one hand
    • Killed the Marvel Universe
    • Defeated Wolverine, Jigsaw, the Russian, the Monkey

Wiz: The Punisher is such a formidable individual that not even SHIELD itself, the peacekeeping organization filled to the brim with super-spies and metahumans, can protect a target from him most of the time.

Boomstick: Frank's strong enough to lift a human over his head with a single hand and once threw off 8 attackers at once, who would all all weigh a combined mass of over a ton. He's even bested Wolverine in an encounter, who has decades of experience when it comes to fight, shooting him the smooth criminals and running him over with a steamroller for good measure.

Wiz: An alternate version of the Punisher was even able to kill the entire population of Earth's heroes, long before the Regenerative Degenerate Deadpool did. And to be honest, the mainstream Punisher could possibly pull this off as well, considering he's taken on the likes of Daredevil, Spider-Man, Black Widow and Captain America in single combat.

Boomstick: Black Widow has even said that Punisher is straight up stronger than she is, and she's a super-soldier strong enough to break a neck with a single punch. At this point, isn't it a bit counter-productive to say that the Punisher isn't secret superhuman?

Wiz: Oh no, he's still definitely a full blooded human and that brings all the downfalls you can expect from someone constantly fighting against criminals. His scarred and beaten body is proof of that.

Boomstick: Still, he is utterly dedicated to wiping out the criminal element in the world. In fact, even after being denied access to heaven for his brutal deeds, he couldn't care less so long as he could keep killing criminals.

Wiz: That is because the Punisher's drive to kill them doesn't come from a wish to protect the innocent or upload society's virtues but because he hates criminals and wants them dead - every last one of them.

Interlude[]

Wiz: Alright the combatants are set and we've run the data through all possibilites.

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!

The Battle[]

Setting: Warehouse at night

The Punisher stood amongst several bodies, each one of them riddled with bullet holes and lying down in puddle of their blood, whilst he reloaded the assault rifle he was holding. A fluttering of what sounded like a cape drew his attention and he turned his head to see behind him a pair of thin white eyes glaring out at him from the shadows. After a moment of silent staring, Batman stepped forward into the light

Batman: Did you do this?

Punisher: Before you go preaching me, freak, I'm pretty sure you can tell this scum had it coming. They had to pay for what they had done.

Batman: Then guess what; this is where you pay.

FIGHT!

Punisher whipped around, firing his assault rifle. Batman immediately pulled back into the shadows, the bullets whizzing through the shadows were he should have been. Punisher kept firing into the darkness until a shadow fell over him. He looked up in time to see Batman pouncing through the air towards him.

Batman tackled Punisher, who levered his rifle in front of himself to prevent the vigilante from directly grapping him. The two went down, Punisher's back hitting the ground from where he flipped Batman over himself. Batman landed gracefully, turning back around to face Punisher the same time Punisher whipped around to face him. Batman ducked beneath the shots Punisher let out before darting forwards and pushing the gun upwards, giving him a chance to punch Punisher in the jaw, making him stumble back before he regained his balance and tried to strike Batman with the butt of the rifle. Batman simply caught the butt before it could connected with his face, striking Punisher a second time. Punisher growled after stumbling backwards, before jumping back far enough so that he could fire a stream of bullets at Batman, who darted and maneuvered around each one with speedy sleekness. After landing from one roll forwards, he hurled a Batarang that hit the rifle right out of Punisher's hands. Punisher ignored his setback by pulling out a handgun, using to continue firing at Batman. A lucky bullet skimmed Batman's cheek, drawing a small amount of blood, before Batman was able to close the distance. He grabbed a hold of Punisher's wrists, which both held the gun, forcing them upwards to aim the gun harmlessly up at the series just as another shot was fired off.

Batman and Punisher glared at each other, before they both drew their heads back and slammed their foreheads together in the same attempt at a head-butt. Their foreheads remained locked together for a moment before Punisher's strength won over Batman, making him stumbled back. Punisher swung his gun around to aim it directly at Batman's face but the instance he fired a shot Batman ducked downwards, scissoring Punisher's legs between his own before twisting them out so that Punisher was swung down onto the ground face-first. With his opponent on the ground, Batman moved towards Punisher's feet, touching one of his ankles. Punisher aimed behind him and was able to fire two shots that Batman easily dodged with twitches of his head before he drew backwards and Punisher was suddenly yanked high into the air by a line, bellowing as he went.

He soon found himself dangling in the air, in line with the warehouse's second floor. Batman was suddenly somehow already there, and he grabbed Frank's hair and gun-hand wrist.

Batman: Armature.

Punisher: Maybe I am. But I ain't no softy.

He wriggled his loose leg, making a second gun fall free from a holster into his other hand which he used to shoot through the cable tying him to the ceiling. As he began to fall, he turned in the air to deliver a kick into the side of Batman's head, sending the Dark Knight reeling backwards whilst Punisher landed on his feet. Now with two guns at hand, he opened fire with them both. Batman brought his cape up in front of his face, using the armored fabric to guard against the bullets, though their sheer power still harmed his arm. He growled and suddenly hurled out a trio of Batarangs. Punisher's attention turned to them and he shot them out of the air with his pistols but this gaze Batman the chance to close the distance between them and the two engaged in close-quarters combat, which included Punisher attempting to bring his guns around to get a shot into some part of Batman's body. Each time he attempted this however, Batman used his arms and hands to prevent the barrels pointing directly at himself. He eventually drew himself backwards to avoid the moment Punisher was able to get a shot of, and he brought his hand down onto the top of the pistol, quickly sliding it off the main part and dismantling the pistol. Punisher attempted to aim his remaining pistol but Batman spun about, snatching the gun from Punisher's grasp and kicking him in the chest all within the same maneuver, before he quickly dismantled it. When Punisher stopped sliding backwards, he pulled out his shotgun and fired it at the Dark Knight. Batman was barely able to avoid the blast, leaping behind from crates. Punisher continuously pumped and fired the shotgun, reducing the crates to splinters in no time. Before he was fully exposed by the destruction of his cover, Batman hurled out a Flash-Bang Batarang.

When the light went off, Punisher was blinded and he covered his eyes in discomfort. He heard a strange swishing noise before the Batclaw suddenly grabbed his front and he got yanked forwards, ready for Batman to strike him in the chest with such force he was yanked off his feet by both it and his own momentum. In the brief second he was suspended in the air, Batman dropped downwards, driving his elbow into Punisher's midriff in the process, smashing him into the ground. Punisher countered this attack however by shooting both his knees up to nail Batman in the back, knocking him onto his front. Punisher got to his feet and drew out his knife, pouncing on Batman the moment he rolled over onto his back. Batman only just had time to block Punisher's downwards swing with his forearm, straining to keep the knife from piercing his throat. He suddenly twisted his wrist around to slot the knife's blade between the claws on his gauntlets, using the leverage to twist Punisher's knife-hand away, enabling him to punch him in the face to force him off himself. Batman rolled backwards onto his feet, revealing that he was holding onto switch for something. Punisher frowned, before looking down and realizing that there was a Batarang stuck to his chest. His eyes widened before electricity suddenly coursed through his body, making him scream and convulse. With his foe in distress, Batman hurled out several small Batarangs that stapled into Punisher's chest, leaving bloody scars just as the electricity died down.

Frank collapsed onto his knees, seething in pain as Batman pulled out handcuffs and marched towards him, only to suddenly smirk up at him.

Punisher: You should have aimed at my head.

He suddenly drew backwards, swinging out with his hand to reveal a wrist-mounted flamethrower, sending out a wave of fire towards Batman, who quickly drew backwards with his cape held up. The cloth caught fire, so Batman had to roll over the ground to put it out. Punisher continued to send out the flames, which rapidly consumed the space in front of Batman. He narrowed his eyes before throwing his hand downwards, unleashing a smoke pullet to hide himself from Punisher. By the time the latter had send flames rolling through Batman's smoke, he had vanished. A whistling sound suddenly came out of nowhere, as did the Batarang that embedded itself in the ground before Frank. Before he could react, it went off, sending him flying backwards and off the second floor to the warehouse's ground one.

He crashed into a wooden box, lying among the wreckage and glaring up at Batman, who looked down at him from the second floor.

Punisher: Smug bastard...just like the ones who though they could steal from me.

He back back to his feet, pulling out the weapon that had been exposed by his crashing into; an RPG.

Punisher: Eat this!

He fired off the rocket and it soared into the second level. Though Batman leapt from it before it could directly collide with himself, the resulting explosion threw him off-balance as he went upwards, and his back smashed into the warehouse's roof. He fell back through the air, crashing onto the ground with the sound of breaking bones. Punisher tossed aside his Rocket Launcher and pulled out his spare assault rifle, aiming it at his downed foe.

Punisher: I think I've finally reached the limit I've had for self-righteous "heroes" like you.

Batman: You know...you took the word right out of my mouth.

He pressed a button of a device he clutched in one hand and in the next moment, swarms of bats smashed through every window into the warehouse, converging on Punisher to claw and bite him. Frank roared and swore in pain before he unloaded his full magazine widely around him, hitting dozens of bats and forcing the rest away from him. But as a result, his clip ended up empty. Before he could reload, Batman darted forwards out of nowhere, jabbing out his hand to strike a nerve bunch in his arm, rendering the arm paralyzed and limb. Punisher's gun feel to the ground and as he attempted a retaliating punch, Batman caught the fist and broke it with a squeeze. Punisher's left leg followed in the series of debilitations, getting broken with a chop downwards and thus Punisher was left lying on his back with Batman's hand on his throat and the other holding a sharp looking Batarang.

Punisher: Come on then...do it!

Batman:...No. I'm not going to kill you. But I'm not going to save you either.

That was when Punisher took note of the damage done to the warehouse during this battle, especially the fire that made the walls strain and wobble. With a flick of his wrist, Batman switched the Batarang for the Batclaw and he fired it upwards, hauling himself upwards to the window in the ceiling, smashing through it at the same time the warehouse collapsed down around the Punisher, crushing him under the rubble into a red stain. After the warehouse had collapsed into a rubbly layer, Batman landed down amongst it.

KO!

Outcome[]

Boomstick: A kill by inaction. That's a first for us.

Wiz: Both Batman and Punisher had several things in common here, and not just their connections. Both were expert strategists, both had a mastery of close-quarters combat, are experienced with fighting superhumans and both have levels of willpower.

Boomstick: And we know what you're all thinking; surely we're going to compare their speed and strength. Well, ironically, they kind of didn't matter here.

Wiz: Here's the thing; whether or not they were the slowest or faster, strongest or weakest in any battle didn't really matter because both Batman and Punisher have won plenty of battles with such factors against either them or others. So what would really decide the outcome of this battle would be who had the better skills and the better arsenal.

Boomstick: Getting a lot of military training and knowing several martial arts is cool and all, but Punisher's training and expertise falls a bit short to the kind that Batman has gone through. He's trained with ninjas, escape artists, master fighters and more, including pressure points he could use to take out Frank fairly quickly. Not to mention he's a goddamn super-genius, so good luck trying to outsmart him.

Wiz: Batman's skills in fighting also give him the ability to expertly disarm his opponents in combat. Especially gunmen, and he can even dismantle their weapons on the fly. The perfect means of countering Punisher, whose entire arsenal was composed of guns.

Boomstick: That brings us to their arsenals and whilst Frank does indeed have a whole lot of guns, we all know guns only only ever really do one thing and what use would that have been in the long run? Holy crap I can't believe I just said that.

Wiz: Batman definitely held the edge in versatility thanks to his tools, which include explosives, Tasers, gas grenades and the devices to call on either swarms of bats or the tank-like Batmobile. No way Frank could handle something on that caliber. And finally, in spite of his more esoteric weapons like the Freeze Ray or Flamethrowers, Batman's bouts with Doctor Freeze and Firefly give him the expertise to approach them appropriately.

Boomstick: Punisher was an absolutely brutal one but Batman's gadgets, experience and skills gave him the highest chances for getting in a critical strike. I guess he was the one to give the best Punishment, rather than myself.

Wiz: The winner is Batman.
