Description[]
The rogues of Batman and Spider-man clash in an epic 8-man team battle! Who will come out on top?
Introduction[]
Boomstick: Today, we’ll be pitting some of the most famous and dastardly villains of some of our most beloved heroes against each other.
Wiz: The Spider-man Rogues-
Boomstick: And the Batman Rogues. He’s Wiz and I’m Boomstick!
Wiz: And it’s our job to analyse their weapons, powers and skills to see who would win a DEATH BATTLE.
Spider-man Rogues[]
Wiz: The line-up for the team is Venom, Carnage, Sandman, Rhino, Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin and Electro.
Boomstick: This team sure has some heavy hitters!
Wiz: Exactly. Take Carnage, real name Cletus Kassidy. He uses his symbiote to form constructs such as tendrils, claws, axes and blades, is extremely durable and has strength which easily rivals Spider-man’s.
Boomstick: Another one is Venom. We’ll be using the Eddie Brock version for this. His powers are similar to that of Carnage’s, so not much further explanation is needed.
Wiz: Sandman, aka William Baker, can manipulate his body into sand, granting him enhanced strength on par with the Thing’s, enhanced endurance and shapeshifting abilities.
Boomstick: Doctor Octopus, real name Otto Octavius is basically the main brain of the team, having experience of leading teams like the Sinister Six against Spider-man and is also one of the very few villains able to defeat Spider-man.
Wiz: Electro can shoot lightning bolts that can move at the speed of lightning and even propel himself with it. Plus, he can use his bolts as whips, tendrils and nets. He can also fire his bolts at 100 feet.
Boomstick: Rhino is extremely strong and durable, being able to collapse buildings, rip through metal like paper, tank rockets and trucks without harm and move faster than a train. Oh boy!
Wiz: Then there’s Vulture, or Adrian Toomes. He wears a harness which allows him to fly and has claws but is also surprisingly strong. He can rip through bricks, is faster than a motorcycle and has tanked hits from Spider-man.
Boomstick: And finally Green Goblin, the most loathsome, dastardly villain of them all, murderer of Spidey’s girlfriend. He flies around on a machine gun glider flinging pumpkin bombs, in some daft but creepy Halloween costume.
Wiz: But these villains have a plethora of weaknesses.
Boomstick: Venom and Carnage are both vulnerable to fire and sonics, due to their symbiotes.
Wiz: Sandman's main weakness is water and heat, which cause him to lose his form and Doctor Octopus’s tentacles can be controlled by other people.
Boomstick: Electro can be defeated by more powerful electro-kinensis users and Rhino’s thick armour reduces his ability to perspire, which may cause him to die of dehydration.
Wiz: Vulture is useless without his harness and Green Goblin suffers from mental instability, which sometimes impedes him during a fight.
Batman Rogues[]
Wiz: This line up consists of Deathstroke, Bane, Mr Freeze, Deadshot, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Ra’s al Ghul and Firefly.
Boomstick: These are some people who you should definitely NOT mess with!
Wiz: Deathstroke has a healing factor as well as superhuman strength, endurance and durability. An expert assassin, he’s kicked Batman’s butt numerous times, as well as defeating the entire Justice league, Superman included, but that was with the Promethium Sword, which is too overpowered to be used in this Death Battle.
Boomstick: But c’mon Wiz, that would be so cool!
Wiz: No! The fight has to be a fair match!
Boomstick: Spoilsport... anyway, Bane is a criminal mastermind who can lift 4 tons, but pumped full of the drug Venom (which is coffee but 100x times more powerful, in my opinion) he can lift 25 tons and is far more durable.
Wiz: Mr Freeze uses a freeze gun to freeze and coat enemies in ice. His armour is especially strong, making him punch through metal doors, tank concentrated gunfire and can freeze people with a touch.
Boomstick: Deadshot, or Floyd Lawton, is an expert marksman who claims he 'never misses'. He's gone toe to toe with Green Arrow, shot through bulletproof armour and has taken out bulletproof people. He knows all the weak points of the human body and is armed with a pair of wrist guns as well as an assortment of firearms and explosives.
Wiz: Poison Ivy, once known as Pamela Isley, can control plants to attack and defend, as well as manipulating them to become stronger. She can also release toxins and pheremones to confuse and kill opponents and she is immune to all plant toxins.
Boomstick: Ra's al Ghul is a 700 year old assassin with plenty of combat experience, even helping the Duke of Wellington win the Battle of Waterloo, though that section made Wellington look like an absolute numpty.
Wiz: Firefly is a pyromaniac who wields a flamethrower. In a fireproof suit with flying equipment, he once got Batman in a chokehold and doged the Batmobile. He even survived the explosion of a building, although he was quite badly burnt.
Boomstick: Killer Croc, or Waylon Jones, is a reptilian human who threw a car with one hand, survived getting blasted in the face with a shotgun and destroyed a sewer while fighting.
Wiz : They do have plenty of weaknesses though which can be exploited.Ra’s al Ghul, Firefly, Joker, Poison Ivy and Deadshot all have human level strength and durability, which already shows a lot of weaknesses which don’t really need a lot of explanation. This would be problematic in an actual fight scenario.
Boomstick: Once Bane’s venom tubes are snapped, it becomes far easier to take him down.
Wiz: Killer Croc’s strength is limited, he doesn't have the greatest durability, and he is also extremely stupid.
Boomstick: Deathstroke only has one eye, meaning he has a blind spot which can be used against him.
Wiz: Mr Freeze can not survive outside his suit at around room temperature and will die if he does so.

Results[]
Boomstick: That was mostly one sided…
Wiz: But with good reason. The Spider-man villains just had too much firepower.
Boomstick: But didn’t the Batman villains exploit their weaknesses? For example, Firefly could have burned Carnage or Venom to death.
Wiz: True. But the Spider-man villains beat them in every single category except skill. Most of the Batman villains are, despite their powers and skills, human. This already exposes a lot of weaknesses, especially durability, something the Spider-man villains had a lot of.
Boomstick: So, the survivors -Sandman, Carnage, Venom and Rhino- were the most durable?
Wiz: Exactly. As soon as Firefly and Mr Freeze were down, there wasn’t really a viable way for any of these 4 to die.
Boomstick: And strength. What about that?
Wiz: Rhino can easily lift 80 tons, which already surpasses every single combatant on the Batman villains.
Boomstick: But isn’t Rhino an idiot?
Wiz: Firstly, Killer Croc is even more stupid. Rhino has shown some intelligence in the past. Secondly, this could be covered by his teammates. If any Batman villain tried to outwit him, an ally would step in.
Boomstick: Which does seem to make sense, given that they have cooperated in the past.
Wiz: Another point taken. Despite how poor their teamwork can be, they have experience of working alongside each other. This is not something the Batman villains have in common, putting them at a great disadvantage.
Boomstick: But didn’t Deathstroke kill some of them in the end?
Wiz: No matter how skilled Deathstroke is, he couldn’t have been able to harm Sandman, Venom or Carnage. He didn’t have the right equipment.
Boomstick: Even if we gave him the Promethium sword, there was no chance he could have hurt Sandman, and I doubt he could take out Venom AND Carnage before being killed.
Wiz: There are a few ways which the Batman villains could have won, but they are extremely unlikely. The Spider-man villains were simply stronger, faster, more durable and more powerful.
Boomstick: And all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Slade’s head on again!
Wiz: The winners are the Spider-man villains.
