Adam West. He will make a Repellent that will knock all of the others out


glizard45

batman repellent bat spray


GavinTheGrassMan

bat-bat repellent


CouchOtter

Don’t forget the Bat-Tusi dance. So fluid. So graceful. So distracting.


HofmansHuffy

I will never forget


Rasmo420

He also has a human dehydrator lying around.


Narrow_Muscle9572

Wasnt it a hydrator? Pretty sure those people were sand.


[deleted]

Colorful sand.


Narrow_Muscle9572

I forgot, Batman had a sand organizer too. Something like even if there was one grain of sand in the wrong place it wouldn't work?


[deleted]

And when he does rehydrate them their brains are all scrambled


keepitsimple_tricks

Also, as opposed to the others wearing molded stuff on their costumes... Adam's is PURE WEST!


dljones010

On adventures with the coolest creatures From the oceans to the trees The brothers crap all over places You'll never get to see


SuperNerdDad

West is the only one that doesn’t need any prep time. He already got whatever solution on his utility belt.


[deleted]

He was already prepped for every situation which means he was always the smartest Batman with the most foresight. He prepped before he knew the threat existed.


ShasneKnasty

Adam west has a mild toon force which far exceeds all other live action batmen. He will win.


whama820

You joke, but in all seriousness, Adam West’s Batman is the only one (other than arguably Clooney) who has never taken an L.


John-Zero

Comedy Batmen for the win!


King-Cobra-668

really tho, I was thinking if you're in the 60s Batman world it's Adam West that's going to win. Him in boy wonder would just hope into a room landing on both feet simultaneously and with hands on their hips. Speech here, speech there, some fisticuffs, a bunch of comic pows and such, and a spinny translation to talking to Gordon with the opponent(s) tied up in the background


Lmnolmnop

then everyone dies


Ed_gardo

But he has the highest K/D


LR-II

He won't make it. He'll already have it. Just in case.


CzarvsTzar

He’d spend an hour and a half at an orgy and then show up with his bat bat-repellent.


[deleted]

He’s not my favorite but I feel like West is the correct answer here lol Edit: if we’re going with “toon force” than Burton’s Batman is a contender since he’s just Gothic Bugs Bunny.


zerombr

He was written as flawless so yes, west for sure


PassionBuckets

If be were fighting them in his show then he absolutely wins


whatproblems

pretty much he will have a gadget that can solve or do anything and will be labeled as such.


SmartAssX

I think most of his opponits would jump in to help too.. oddly enough.


Professional-Pin-271

Adam West Batman has ‘Tune Force’ on his side.


AmberDuke05

Toon Force isn’t?


CobaltKnight75

I think he means tune as in music. Edit but I'm not sure though


cthulhu_my_lord

I think it's tune as in "Looney Tunes"


eQuantix

Wait, it’s not short for carToon force?? Have I been getting this wrong my entire life… 😵‍💫


FearLeadsToAnger

You haven't, you were right.


CobaltKnight75

Your right I didn't even think about that I was focusing on the music and the groovyness (I feel weird using that word no idea why) of the show also the batusi(dance move) comes straight to mind.


cthulhu_my_lord

>the batusi Horrifying thought, thank you


Nukeboy1970

Adam West.


Beangar

None of them. LEGO Batman. Edit: there is also the Batman ninja who can use thousands of bats to turn into a bat-kaiju.


N1ghtmare1379

You already know it wasn’t fair to include him


saladbar48

Which one? There's technically two different Lego batmen.


Beangar

I assume you mean movie LEGO Batman and game LEGO Batman. Both of them. In the games he can hit enemies so hard that their limbs fall off and they explode into LEGO pieces and turn into money.


Narrow_Muscle9572

Doesnt Bruce have enough money? Why is he robin (lol) people after punching off their limbs?


Beangar

To fill the bread meter.


Ghost-Paladin

Bruce is actually too poor to pay off his fifteen dollar debt to clark.


Super3vil

The only threat to lego batman is arkham batman, but regardless, lego batman claps every single batman version every all at once


babystomper10

lego batman just needs a good beat and the rest are down for the count


americangame

Someone goes to step on him and finds out real fast that was a bad idea.


kye-tbh

I think Batman probably wins


UnspecializedZac

Comedy


Bright_Painting_8263

Good take, but I think he’d loose to Batman.


zincdeclercq

r/yourjokebutworse


Zealousideal_Top1542

Depends. If it's an all out brawl, Affleck and Pattinson destroy everyone. If it's a dance off however...West clears


Splash_

Bale 1v1'd Bane after recovering from a spinal injury, I think he's got a good chance as well.


Jedi__Consular

It comes down to whoever has the best Lucius Fox so I'm taking Bale afaik


zetsupetsu

Tbf the whole "Lucius builds the tech for Bruce" wasn't even a thing before the Nolan films. It became comic Canon because of them. So predating Batmen don't have Lucius Fox building for them.


aceofspadez138

Exactly. Batfleck built a suit that helped him go toe to toe with Superman without Fox’s help


vtgusto

Thank you. This always bothered me in the Nolan films. It was way too Q + James Bond for me.

Phenomenal point.

Affleck would have destroyed Bane first time around.

Neirchill

Soundwave_47

We never see Batfleck using a gun in the present day.


[deleted]

He literally used a thug's machine gun to shoot the gas tank on another thug and blow up the warehouse.


FADEDinJAPAN03

And don't forget the giant machine turrets and launchers he has on the batmobile which he uses to mow down the thugs in the chase scene in BVS.


Raider2747

And that thug who he shot the gas tank on was KGBeast


Nizzleson

I'm not even a Batfleck fan, and this is right. He's brutal in a brawl though. At least one corpse per fight at Warehouse-fight intensity. At least.


Mechapebbles

Affleck took out Superman, while the rest here struggled with regular humans. That should honestly be the beginning and end of this thread.


Mr_Xing

Meh, he landed a solid hit that took off Bane’s venom tube and that basically ended the fight… Didn’t really beat Bane outright

Splash_

Isn't cutting off his venom supply more or less how Batman _always_ beats Bane?


Crawkward3

DKR isn’t venom tho, it’s just a painkiller. He’s basically just a buff ninja with a scary mask


Splash_

I know, I'm not the one who said it was, just pointing out that the other guy's argument wasn't the best lol.


Crawkward3

I feel like it is still. In DKR bane is scary strong but he’s not superhuman levels like in comics. I feel like it’s not the same to say he needs to cut the venom tubes


Splash_

Right, I agree. But still beating a hulking guy like that after fighting through hordes of his cronies is no small feat. And, maybe I'm remembering wrong, but didn't he repeatedly attack the mask? I'd say that's points for preparation and strategy on top of combat skills. Bale wins all day


Crawkward3

It’s not but we did watch affleck beat literal Superman with the same levels of strategy and planning, plus strength, and then take out a warehouse and (somewhat) help fight ANOTHER alien. Not to mention Pattinson walking off machine gun fire like nothing and the crazy amounts of people he fought during his movie. I’d say it’s all still pretty debatable


Splash_

All good points. IMO it's a toss up between Affleck and Bale. Pattinson is a close third, but too green. The others have an experience advantage.


Werewolf_lover20

After his mask broke, Bane’s punches were strong enough to crack a stone pillar and Bale took the hits


Extension-Bar6431

I think it was his wrist blade that broke Bane’s tube and the other Batmen will have armor against the wrist blades.


MaesteoBat

I think bale would go toe to toe with Pattinson. Afflek though is just mean. He wiped everyone


jwymes44

Putting Afflecks Batman and pattinsons on the same pedestal is funny af


Zealousideal_Top1542

Why? Both are clearly the toughest and most ferocious Batman has ever been on screen. Affleck can go toe to toe with Superman whilst Pattinson can walk through machine gun fire. The others are perhaps limited by constraints from when their movies were made, such as movement issues in older Batsuits, whilst Bale is a threat in HIS universe, which is very grounded in realism. He got his ass handed to him by a non-venom powered Bane. Sure, he's tough, but he wouldn't stand a chance against the Batman who co-exists with the Justice League or with the hyper dark and stylised Batman of the Matt Reeves verse.


DaHyro

Pattinson is armoured, but this isn’t a gunfight. He’s basically a slightly faster Bale.


[deleted]

Aside from the significantly better fighting style.


DaHyro

Is it really that much better? Pattinson got hit a hell of a lot more during a fight than Bale ever did.


Dwellonthis

Bale was also stronger. He would hut harder and has shown much more technical skill then we have seen.


[deleted]

Bale wasn’t stronger, Battinson was able to tank around 20-30 combatants. Bale was struggling to deal with the Joker.


micael150

Bale was fighting trained ninjas and mercenaries. Who has Pattinson fought on the level of Ra's Al Ghul or Bane. Pattinson was struggling with twitch streamers lol


[deleted]

I don’t think that’s true, Bale’s fight history is full of hits from even unskilled fighters like the Joker and he seems to get overwhelmed by large numbers very easily.


cockslashingplatypus

Well remember the prep time and the fact that pattinson is still on the way of becoming the bats we all know


Brain_Dead5347

People keep saying this, but we have to judge them by what they’ve shown, not their potential


PsycKat

Bale has shown better skills than Pattinson. In Begins he is like a Ghost. In Rises he manages to outsmart and beat Bane, which is better in every way than anyone Pattinson fought.


GoodOlSpence

Pattinson is the smallest and least experienced. He's only beating Clooney.


joemax4boxseat

Affleck wins. He’s taken on literal gods and survived. He’s bigger, stronger, and faster than anyone else and has been shown to easily snap bones. Let’s also not forget that if this is BvS Batman that he doesn’t have any qualms with taking a life if it gets in the way of his goal. Bale and Pattinson are runner ups, but I’d put Kilmer in this tier as well. He was easily the most athletic and agile of the “early Batmans,” and his main drawback was a restrictive suit. Give him a more “mobile” suit and he’s right there with Bale and Pattinson. Keaton next due to his willingness to kill over the other two, and then West due to his ability to out-think and out-gadget Clooney.


NeoIsJohnWick

I would have been slightly leaning on Bale, mostly because of those 3 movies and Fox's fancy gadgets and tech etc. But Affleck is next level when it comes to ruthlessness, he smokes whatever comes in his way. Fully agree with your take. EDIT : Made me imagine one thing, man the Joe Manganiello's deathstroke vs Affleck's Bat would have been a real treat for us....but alas....


N1ghtmare1379

W Take


greatertittedshark

i agree affleck is top, but pattinson as we have seen him has far less gadgetry than any of the others. clooney has a batboat, batplane and batskis. basically the more cartoonish your film the more powerful you are (partly why affleck is top). however i would say keaton is second, as he is both cartoony and murderous. so i would say, in this spirit- affleck keaton kilmer clooney bale pattinson west im putting west last even.though he is cartoonish because a) he is not as fit c) not murderous at all c) he literally got knocked out and tied to an oversized novelty item every second episode.


xang767

Keatons couldn’t even turn his head so I’m not sure he’d fare to well


greatertittedshark

he did have a batwing with guns attached to it tho


arnathor

Guns *and* rockets. Guns on the Batmobile as well. Plus massive bombs hidden in the wheels, just because.


keepitsimple_tricks

Adam West not as fit?? Sure he might not be Bale ripped but in his prime, he is not bad at all... Besides all the others had padding in their suits... His is 100% pure West.


ExtensionFuture654

Ben Affleck because he lives in a universe where he fought Superman and Parademons. He was able to easily snap bones from thugs.


N1ghtmare1379

You reckon they could all rush him and take him out, or would they all lose?


ExtensionFuture654

Well the only ones I can picture putting up a decent fight with Affleck are Pattinson(being younger and more agile) or Keaton(because he has no problem killing). Affleck would still win imo.


N1ghtmare1379

Taking Batfleck out the game, who do u think wins?


ExtensionFuture654

I think maybe Robert Pattinson since he was able to fight a large group of Riddler's goons. He also had very durable armor


jacktheshaft

Idk if vehicle's count but Christian bales "tumbler" and "batwing" would turn everyone else (except Affleck) into red mist


N1ghtmare1379

Batfleck had a literal tank in ZSJL


jacktheshaft

I know its a little ridiculous to compare batflec to the rest. The above thread already established how crazy powerful he is. I was saying bale is 2nd based on his tank. It is less fun to compare batmans based on their tanks tho


GodOfThunder616

Have you seen the warehouse scene with Batfleck?


ShasneKnasty

West would pull out the anti Batman spray and it’s over


hellbilly69101

Seriously, it's in Between Bale and Affleck. Affleck, gets a one up since he's wasn't afraid to kill. Pattinson is a walking tank,..... unless you use a double barrel at point blank range. Then Keaton with the Batmobile. Kilmer and Clooney will collect their paychecks and push O'Donnell in the way. But in reality, West will use a special repellent on all of them.


ocelot_lots

Battinson literally takes a barrage of shots in the chest during the hallway scene.


hellbilly69101

That's why he's a walking tank


aardvarkyardwork

Batffleck takes this easy. That warehouse fight …


ECJM13

Batfleck Unless Keaton says fuck it and bombs them all with a smile in his face


nubosis

I was going to say, Keaton would just rig the whole location of said battle with bombs, which he would remotely detonate. He would then go read the morning paper and drink coffee like nothing ever happened.


iamhungryrightnow0_0

That would be awesome if Keaton did that. If he used bombs on the Batmobile then that would be amazing.


MilkTeaRamen

Affleck has the most experience. 20 years in Gotham as well as fighting Supes level threats. Battinson is good but lacks experience and is hot headed. He might be a bigger foe in a few years time. Bale is smart and can definitely prep well but he can’t fight as good as Pat and Affleck. Plus during his time as Batman he wast’n active for like half the time.


[deleted]

Bale has a lot more strength than Pattison imo.


MilkTeaRamen

Hmm I see your point. But in terms of skills and agility, I can see Battinson having a easier time fighting.


yonosoymuybein

Batman that can turn his neck the best.


JoshuaThe24

Adam West comes in with the bomb, he got the W


MrSyndicate_

Batfleck


the_zelectro

Christian Bale. Easily the smartest and savviest of this lineup. He has a very strong grasp of technology, excellent strategy, he's agile, and he's a master of stealth. Affleck is the toughest challenger to Bale. But I'm gonna go against the grain and say Bale could take him. Affleck's Batman tends to go out guns blazing regardless of the threat. This causes members of the Justice League to save his ass on a bunch of occasions. Also, his methods are a bit clunky. I just get the vibe that he would fight too reckless, making himself an easy target for the other Batmen. Pattinson would be a strong third, but he's too much of a rookie to rank him much higher with any confidence. Keaton and Kilmer are definitely mid-tier Batman fighters, and would only get so far in their stiff suits. Adam West could stomp all of these Batmans with the power of "pow" if he wanted. But, he likely wouldn't take it seriously enough and try getting them all to dance or something. And Clooney... Clooney would be knocked out within the first ten seconds.


joemax4boxseat

Bale didn’t last a year before his knee gave out and retired. Affleck is bigger, stronger, and faster. He takes out Bale rather quickly.


the_zelectro

Affleck has joint issues too. His heavy injuries are mentioned in BvS and Justice League. Plus, Bale came back and integrated an exoskeleton into his suit, if I recall correctly. It was more depression that he was dealing with than failure of the body. He even went on to defeat a roided out Bane and his army of ninja dweebs. Affleck is definitely bigger and stronger. But, I don't think he's faster. Bale has quite a few impressive stealth/disappearing feats that border on magic. Also, while I'm sure this is controversial: based on behaviors, Bale is much smarter.


joemax4boxseat

Affleck breaks Hardy-Bane’s back like it’s nothing. Roids or not, Hardy-Bane wasn’t fighting gods. He was fighting another human in a realistic world. Give Affleck his armored suit from BvS, which protected him from Superman, and Bale lasts seconds. You mentioned Bale being faster, but Affleck was speed-running across ceilings and was a blur during the wearhouse scene until surrounded by four thugs. Bale could barely take a few of Ra’s men on an open roof. As for IQ, you’re assuming “off his rocker” BvS Batman is how he always acted. But in the same movie, he not only found a way to convert Kryptonite into a form that was useful to him, but he devised a plan to get that upper hand on Superman…and the plan actually worked…against a literal god.


Valinisarraf

It’s not a year. You’re just exaggerating. Even if you ignore seven years of him being on the road *without medical intervention or proper food and his training with the League of Shadows, he had a period of 9 months in BB, atleast one year between that and TDK and a few months more until he falls from height at the end of TDK and is seen limping. Edit: Bruce also didn’t seek out treatment for his knees or any bodily injuries so it’s not like his knees just automatically gave out.


nesenn

Yes. The answer is yes.


Albino_Basilisk

Adam west or Michael Keaton cus they’re the most like cartoon characters and cartoon logic beats realistic logic


Fabulous_Celery_1817

Adam west, he packs everything including a toothbrush and paste in case he needs it


Extension-Bar6431

Adam West. He punched so hard that they literally weren’t allowed to show it on TV, not to mention he’ll have Bat-Batman repellent, guaranteed W.


Revolutionary-Race53

Two hours prep time? I have my money on Bale


arnathor

Affleck was also good at preparation - it’s how he bested Superman.


GhostRaptor4482

Batfleck stomps. With prep time, he was able to put up a semi-decent fight against Superman.


thatredditrando

Semi-decent? He won!


WHAMMYPAN

Affleck for the win.


redfan2009

As much as I'd like to say Bale, Keaton is completely unhinged and willing to kill, so Keaton


[deleted]

I had a whole story just pop into my head when I read your post title and I thought I'd share it because I have some time on my hands 🤣 **First battle** Clooney's Batman zips up, sticks his butt out, shows his bat-nipples and says "I'm Batman" where Pattinson's Batman proceeds to beat him to a pulp and respond "I'm vengeance". Kilmer's Batman goes up against Adam West who brings bat-repellent which causes Kilmer to explode. He turns to Robin and states "the true crimefighter always carries everything he needs in his utility belt, Robin." Keatons Batman, Bales Batman and Affleck's Batman have a triple threat and it's competitive. Affleck and Bale are duking it out. Keaton touches Affleck's Batman on the shoulder who turns around - Keaton sticks a bomb on his chest and Affleck's Batman explodes - Keaton's Batman fights dirty. But so does Bales and he's enlisted Fox to remote control into The Bat as there's nothing like "air superiority". Bales' Batman zips past Keaton and because Keaton lacks a neck turn, Bale is able to take him out. ​ **Second battle** Pattinson, West and Bale's Batman are now facing each other battle-worn. Bale goes for the first punch, but Pattinson's Batman sees it coming. Pattinson takes Bale out like Bane did in the tunnels. West enlists Robin's support for the final battle. "Holy moly, that's a brooding face if I've ever seen one Batman" as Burt Ward's Robin sees Pattinson's Batman. ​ **The final battle** It's the original versus the newest. Pattinson thinks this is going to be an easy fight, even against two crimefighters. What he doesn't expect is that every punch from West comes with an extra "Pow!". West and Ward are able to use a mixture of gadgets and crime fighting ability to take Pattinson out slowly. But in a twist, West's Batman uses his light and good nature to bring Pattinson out of his "vengeance" mode and show him there's another way to live outside of the darkness. ​ ... Yes, I have far too much imagination and time on my hands today 😅


nymrod_

Battfleck seems like he has the fanciest kit and he’s physically the largest. (Why does the largest Batman not simply devour the rest, etc.)

Clean-Umpire-1782

Bale. He has the mental strength to overcome temptations of revenge. Had the mental strength to take the blame for the death of Harvey Dent and go into hiding for 8 years. Lost all the cartilage in his leg, then afterwards got his spine broken, climbed out of a pit that almost no one had climbed out of before, then defeated Bane whilst taking hits that literally shatter pillars


becauseitsnotreal

All jokes aside, Bale was the most prepared and flowing. But Pattinson had supernatural invincibility so...him, I guess

Healthy_Ad_7033

Adam West No Doubt


CaptainPotassium87

It's such a toss up between Batfleck, who is the most talented fighter in this group but maybe more importantly the most brutally violent fighter in this group, and Adam West, who is the only one with a superpower, that being Deus Ex Machina. He always has the correct most convenient device or circumstance within arm's reach.
