[Heskett]

Batman, because he's the goddamn Batman.

[NoiseHERO]

One's a ninja in all black

The other ones a ninja in all black, with underwear above his pants.

Obviously batman wins by a landslide. D:

[FOkyasuta]

Ya cant kill, what ya cant see.

[BIG OLAF]

I think this poll is a cleverly-disguised way to segregate the weeaboos. Normal people vote for Batman, and Japanophiles vote for Snake Eyes.

Good theory, or the greatest theory?

[Blue-Hawk]

I think this poll is a cleverly-disguised way to segregate the weeaboos. Normal people vote for Batman, and Japanophiles vote for Snake Eyes.

Good theory, or the greatest theory?

1- Define normal when it comes to people. You can't.
2- Both characters originate from American comic books, not Japanese. Snake Eyes was always portrayed as a ninja whereas Batman, untill the late 80's/early 90's was not. Mostly a boxer with some training.

[NoiseHERO]

While G.I.Joe (The animated movie at least) was obviously animated by asians. I'm not seeing a weaboo radar maker here. D:

Batman would pretty much win ANY popularity contest, even 1960's batman.

Now if this was snakeeyes vs GRAYFOX(cyborg ninja MGS) THEN it'd be a fair match (maybe) AND separate some weaboos from non-weaboos.

edit: Also bat cookies (scooby-doo movies.)

[Retehi]

Why in the living hell would I be a weaboo for voting Snake Eyes, someone who came from an American cartoon. God so much stupid.

[Atbar]

I voted for Batman, mostly because I never got into G.I. Joe and have seen more cartoons with Batman in them.

[Randomness]

Batman. He's very, very good at setting things up his way. (Which is why the Joker is such a classic villian - it's a battle of wits more than power)

Seriously, this is the normal human who can beat Superman in a head on fight.

[ARASHIKAGE]

Why in the living hell would I be a weaboo for voting Snake Eyes, someone who came from an American cartoon. God so much stupid.

Thank you, thank you.

Had to pick Batman.

[Ark22]

Batman can take down Superman, I mean seriously not even fair.

Because that's exactly what a gang of muggers would look like in real life-

IS THAT BATMAN RIDING A TYRANNOSAURUS SHARK WITH A CHARINSAW?!

[Remius]

who the fuck didn't pick batman




BATMAN VS GOKU



DO IT

[BIG OLAF]

Moderate levels of butthurt achieved. I am pleased.

Also, Batman. Because ninjas are for weeb nerds, whereas batman is just for nerds.

[Split]

Batman was trained as a "ninja assassin?" Was this some sort of one-off detail in the comics? ...because Batman doesn't kill people.

[Nitro Vordex]

Batman can take down Superman, I mean seriously not even fair.
Maybe if Superman wasn't weak to a fucking rock I'd be more on his side. Though, glowing Kryptonite gloves would be pretty fuckin' awesome.

[NoiseHERO]

Batman trained in a LOT of ways all over the world, including ninja stuff, but he mostly just uses the stealth and martial art and the skill with his variety of weapons and gadgets.

In generally he's originally a detective...

A detective... Vigilante... That seeks revenge through justice...

C'MON HE WAS MADE LIKE 80 YEARS AGO OF COURSE HE'S GOD!

[redroses]

Batman, because thanks to him the Joker exists!

[Remius]

the Answer is Batman because nobody will ever beat batman


if vegeta himself was on a batman vendetta he'd probably lose

[ARASHIKAGE]

...

Also, Batman. Because ninjas are for weeb nerds, whereas batman is just for nerds.

Olaf I feel like your trollin me out a little (How you been btw? it's be awhile).

I'm setting my option aside but I'm all fired up now! :grin: It should be obvious that I'm a huge G.I. Joe fan. I'll try and stay non partial here.

These young "Naruto crazed" weebs didn't existed when Larry Hama dreamed up Snake Eyes in 1982 (Real ninjas withstand the test of time and will always be cool). Batman's fighting background used to be primarily American Boxer before his make-over in the Dark Knight Trilogy (completely awesome btw).


If we look at this match-up based on the traditional character of the two, we can find them very similar. Traditionally they both won't kill people, I say traditionally because there are cases in which Batman dropped people off buildings and Snake Eyes really stabbed people with those swords. But in these cases they taken out of character by different companies.
For the most part they share a very monk like regard for human life and find other clever ways to get the job done.

::Other stats::
Financial:
Batman - Billions of Dollars
Snake Eyes - Bottomless Military Pocket

Allies/Resources:
Batman:
Commissioner Gordon, Alfred, Robin, Nightwing, Bat Girl etc. sometimes Catwoman. (If we count the crossovers: "Justice League" Superman, Black Canary, Green Arrow etc.)
Batcave, Batmobile etc.

Snake Eyes:
"Joes" Scarlett, Duke, Roadblock, Gun Ho, Heavy Duty etc. "Arashikage" Jinx, Kamakura, Tiger Claw etc. sometimes Storm Shadow. (If we count the crossovers: "The Autobots" Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Bumblebee etc.)
Military Tech



In the end this poll is based on popularity, it comes down to what people really know about these two, it's about what hype tells us and what our heart tells us. And a fun nerdy way to kill my afternoon:-P

The real problem is that neither character would fight the other without a good way out if they could help it - the most likely result of any fight would be draw by escape. If it was a long-term pursuit/fight to the death Batman would probably win because he simply has better resources for tracking a target down (As in, all the money and technology he could ever wish for).

[Shattered_weasel]

I thought this was a largely known fact that he was trained by the League of Assassins. It was even in Batman Begins.

To be fair you are weak to a rock as well. As for Superman being beaten by Batman. That is just LOL worthy. INB4 someone posts something from Red Son and/or Dark Knight Returns.

[Atbar]

I believe the whole Batman having assassin/ninja training is a comic retcon in the 80's that has caught on well because it's in Batman Begins and was explored in one of the 90's Batman animated series.

Superman also has that ambiguous weakness to magic (it seems like it varies from writer to writer how magic is supposed to work on Supes) and the whole energy from a red sun can sap Superman's strength and powers.

Now to complete turning this into every Batman vs. whoever thread I ever read on the internet: BATMAN WINZ WHEN HE PLANZ!

[Randomness]

The fact that Superman is weak to a rock is why Batman can beat him. If Batman was trying to kill Superman, he'd have a good chance at succeeding - he can prepare for Superman's long range abilities, and once he's in close he wins by Kryptonite.

And if Superman was trying to kill Batman he would have a 99.9% chance of winning.
