Super Fight!

[Hammerskjold]

Isn't the entire idea of Batman that he's a lone vigilante? (Okay, Robin, and Alfred. But hardly an army.)

-Jester

That's certainly a big idea, but not the entire idea of the character. Don't forget the inside man of Gordon. So no, not an army in the sense of sheer volume. But the lone vigilante idea is mostly a PR job. If we look at the media, it says otherwise.

(Exception being the live action movies, because of obvious rights issues and money. Let's face it, despite the potential of a great story when we mix other DC characters, when there's a Batman movie most folks want to see, ya know just the Batman universe and his Rogue's Gallery. So I don't expect a Green Lantern with Batman crossover in the same movie anytime soon. Nothing really wrong with that either.)

Though if I were to really give it more thought, I think we might be overlooking something. The advantage might not go soley to who has more super power or deviousness, but also if one (or both) knows the other's alter ego. That will probably be a big factor as well.


ps. On a sidenote, what did you think of the Watchmen comic vs movie. Specifically, the lack of you know what on the movie version.
