Top 10 POWERFUL SUPERHEROES THAT BATMAN HAS BEATEN
Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
There may be powerful superheroes abound, but never underestimate the advantage of a
little prep time and a lot of handy gadgets.
With these 2 things, Batman has managed to overcome some of the toughest adversaries
out there.
Why they canÕt all get along is beyond me.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 POWERFUL SUPERHEROES THAT BATMAN HAS BEATEN.
In the number 10 spot we have SUPERMAN.
Supes and the Bat have many times been the dream crime fighting team, but even superheroes
have their spats.
There have been multiple occasions where the two have been at odds, for example in Superman
vs Batman; and we all know who the winner was there, even if Batman did show mercy at
the end.
The two have faced off in the Hush arc as well as Frank MillerÕs The Dark knight Returns,
with Batman narrowly coming out on top in terms of getting what he wants.
Coming in at number 9 is NIGHTWING.
Although he may have been Robin at one point and Bruce WayneÕs adopted son, Nightwing
hasnÕt been spared from the BatÕs angry fists.
At one point in the Bruce Wayne: Murderer?
Story, Bruce is being framed for murder, and itÕs obvious that whoever has done so knows
that Bruce is Batman.
Being thrown in jail is really frustrating for the caped crusader, so he breaks out and
declares he shall no longer live as Bruce Wayne.
Nightwing tries to talk some sense into him and get him to clear his name, and what does
he get?
Knuckle sandwich to the face.
Next, at number 8 we got TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.
The Batman and Teenage Mutant ninja turtles crossover had the turtles transported to the
alternate universe of gotham, where they encounter the bat.
Understandably, Batman sees these giant turtles as a threat, wouldnÕt anyone, so he takes
maters into his own hands.
He knocks off each of the turtles one by one and takes their weapons for good measure.
Of course later on the heroes made up in order to team up.
In the number 7 spot is WONDER WOMAN.
This is more of an indirect way of the Bat defeating Wonderwoman.
Bruce Wayne keeps files on how to defeat all of the Justice League, in case a member decides
to go rogue.
Unfortunately, this plan was stolen by RaÕs al Ghul (raysh al gool) and put into function
in the tower of Babel storyline.
He traps Wonderwoman in a virtual reality battle against an opponent who is the exact
equal to her.
This uses her pride and refusal to surrender against her, so she fights and fights until
she dies of exhaustion.
So Batman my not have killed her, but he certainly caused her death.
Coming in at number 6 we have THE HULK.
Batman faced off against the Hulk in Batman vs the Incredible Hulk, pretty self-explanatory.
The Hulk is a guy who can keep smashing on forever, so he put up quite the fight.
What Batman had to do was outsmart the Hulk rather than out punch him; he released knockout
gas into the air, and then whooped Hulk hard enough in the gut that he was forced to take
a nice deep breath.
The last one of this battle before being subdued.
Next up, at number 5 is GREEN ARROW.
In the Superman/Batman comic Pretenders to the Throne, Batman and superman have teamed
up and launch an attack on Green Arrow.
Green Arrow is able to temporarily incapacitate Superman with a kryptonite-laced arrow, which
pisses the Bat off hugely.
What follows are some brutal kicks and punches, until Superman recovers and finishes off Green
ArrowÑliterally.
He killed the guy.
So it may have been supes to deliver that final blow, but he wouldnÕt have been alive
if it werenÕt for BatmanÕs beatings of the arrow.
Up next at number 4 is CAPTAIN AMERICA.
DC vs Marvel was a fun cross over that pitted many of our favorite heroes against one another.
One such matchup was Batman vs Captain America, who were very evenly matched and fought in
a sewer system, which is probably the only reason Batman won.
That, and the fact that fans got to vote on who they wanted to win.
So when a sewer flush distacted Cap, Batman swooped in with a batarang to knock out his
foe.
Of course he then showed mercy and saved Cap, ending the battle with friendship.
How cute.
In the number 3 spot, we have GREEN LANTERN.
All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder is a comic series known for its over the top
ridiculousness, and this battle was a big part of that.
At one point in the series, the Bat lures Hal Jordan into a room full of yellow, with
him and robin also decked out in the color that is the Green LanternÕs weakness.
With no help from his power ring, Hal is easily defeated not even really by Batman, but more
so by Robin.
All the while the two are sipping on some yellow lemonade.
Classy.
Coming in at number 2 is THE PUNISHER.
Batman and the Punisher have faced off in Deadly Knights crossover, where the Punisher
backed down before any real battle ensued, but things were different in the prequel Lake
of Fire.
This Batman was actually Azrael, who took over the mantle for a little while, and while
th two eventually team up, they begin at odds.
Azrael had the advantage because his suit was bulletproof, and the Punisher realized
he was fighting a losing battle.
Retreating was the only option.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, weÕve got JASON TODD.
Our top face off here is none other than robin, or rather who used to be Robin.
Can you imagine a better match for Batman than someone he has trained himself?
After being beaten by the Joker in Death in the Family, Jason Todd in the Hush story was
a little salty for Batman not avenging his death.
So after he is resurrected, just a casual occurrence in comics really, he makes it his
goal to antagonize Batman.
And he nearly wins too, until he gives Batman an opportunity to swing a batarang in his
direction.
He clearly still had a lot to learn.
So those were the top 10 SUPERHEROES THAT BATMAN HAS BEATEN.
Let me know in the comment section down below which hero you would love to see the Bat face
off against.
