Batman Battle of the Month RESULTS: Batman vs. Snake Eyes

Can the Dark Knight defeat the deadly G.I. Joe? Voting has come to an end and the Comic Vine community has picked a winner.

Last month, Batman was defeated by X-23. This month, Bruce Wayne is going toe-to-toe with yet another deadly and bladed character: Snake Eyes. Did the Dark Knight get stabbed and slashed until he's defeated for a second month in a row? Or was he able to overcome this latest obstacle? Well, the Comic Vine community had five days to think it through, debate and cast their votes. Now that the poll is locked, Batman fans can breathe a sigh of relief. He may have lost last month's battle, but this month, he's walking away with the victory. Although, he'll probably need a band-aid or two.

The lethal ninja from G.I. Joe received 34% of the votes, but the Caped Crusader pulled in 58%. Meanwhile, 8% thought this fight had the potential to go either way and deemed it to close to call. So, why'd Bruce win? As the debate went on, one key point kept popping up: many people simply don't believe Snake Eyes has endured challenges that are as varied and as difficult as the ones Batman has faced. Now, that's not to say this wouldn't be a good and wildly entertaining fight. Many Viners agreed this would be a battle well worth watching, especially since they're quite similar in many ways. They're both superb with stealth, stunning hand-to-hand fighters, and their physical capabilities aren't far apart. While Snake Eyes has gear that's simple yet effective, Batman has more variety, and, as the fight progress, and that's always going to be a wildcard worth taking into account.

Truthfully, I was hoping the poll would be much closer, but at the end of the day, it looks like more than a few people are walking away from this experience with a little more knowledge on Snake Eyes, and I'd say that's most certainly a good thing. Even if you think one character is the obvious winner, the objective here is just to have fun wondering about how it would play out and hopefully learn a new thing or two about the characters in the process. Anyway, usually the Viner Arguments of the Month are pretty thorough and there were quite a few well-thought-out posts made this week, but we'll give your eyes a bit of a break and highlight two quick and concise arguments that were made for each combatant. They're much shorter than what we usually feature, but they get right to what they believe are the key factors in the battle. Sometimes less can be more, after all.

Viner Argument of the Month for Batman is by Saren

Batman somewhat handily. It's all well and good to go on about Snake-Eyes' lack of compunctions and stealth and experience and yada yada, but the fact remains that he exists in a universe where the challenges he has to face are far less formidable than the challenges Batman has faced. Snake-Eyes offers nothing that Batman hasn't seen before.

Viner Argument of the Month for Snake Eyes is by Lunacyde

Snake-Eyes....in a long and brutal battle I would pay handsomely to see. I'll expound upon my reasoning later. For now the basics are that the two characters are very similar in a lot of ways. Where there are differences I can see SE having more of the advantages useful to this encounter. Batman's greatest advantages over SE are his overall intelligence, preparedness, exploitation of opponent weaknesses and wide array of gadgets and gear. These qualities will factor very little into this specific battle. Meanwhile Snake-Eyes greatest advantages are his willingness to do anything he must to defeat his opponent, his willingness to kill, and his deadly assortment and knowledge of weapons. These will factor more heavily into the fight and tip the scales in his favor.

Because no one else was able to chime in this month, we'll go ahead and highlight a post that was made for the "too close to call" option, too.

Viner Argument of the Month for Too Close To Call is by Owie

This is one of those fights I keep changing my mind on. It's very hard to "prove" one is more skilled than the other.

Batman is stronger and smarter. He has a much wider range of non-lethal weapons. His basic armor is better.

Snake Eyes is possibly faster, more agile, and stealthier. He has a wider range of lethal weapons.

But who is more skilled? Hard to say. I would argue Snake Eyes, but not by a lot. I don't have anything that shows him being better in any concrete way, it's just my take on who he is. But I would also argue that there is little that proves Batman is definitely more skilled either. In other words, I don't think there are any scans of either of them dong anything in terms of skill that the other wouldn't be able to match.

How does this all go down? Assuming they see each other as real enemies, Snakes will probably start shooting. Batman will dodge. Batman will probably throw some batarangs, and Snake Eyes will throw throwing stars, and they'll both dodge. Snake Eyes does have some advantage from a distance, having automatic weapons, but probably not enough to win. They both have grenades of some sort and would toss them around. Having taken each other's measure, they would either go into the shadows and try to attack by stealth, or just go in and fight. Snake Eyes is probably stealthier, as I said, but I am guessing Batman has enough tech to find him. I'm going to say that kind of evens out and they end up just fighting head to head anyway. Close up, Snake Eyes does have a sword, and Batman doesn't, so again Snake Eyes has at least a basic weapons advantage. Is it enough? I dunno. Possibly. But Batman has his armor, can use his cape defensively, etc. I feel like this is essentially too close to call.

Check the homepage on March 31st for an all-new Batman Battle of the Month! Wait, a Batman Battle of the Month in APRIL? That's certain to be a serious and balanced one, right? There's no way we'd have Batman take on a dude who eats planets or anything. In the meantime, you're welcome to make suggestions right here in the comments, in the official thread, or via Twitter.

@cadencev2: But Batman has fought Shiva, Deathatroke and recently Talons, so his peak human repertoire is fairly varied as well.

Thats a good argument, much better than Batman wins becuase he face Clay Face and Superman like some people say.

@jayc1324 said:

@cadencev2: I don't think you understand why the argument of batman facing bigger threats than SE matters.

And by the way batman has fought many ninjas at once before and beat them. Same with soldiers

Sorry, I live in the real world were beating something entirely different than another thing does not equal a win :/

So you live in a world where similar style fighters have no bearing on experience. Basically you are saying that despite any logic you want Snake Eyes to win because you want him to win and unless Batman has fought a ninja names Snake Eyes no amount of experience makes any difference. So if someone has raced a thousand different types of cars and is put into a model that is similar to others they've raced you would say it is a completely new experience. Your Logic does not equal our Earth logic.

And I get another User who completely jumps in without reading what I wrote.

Thats the point. Would you fight a Shark the same way a Human? I did not think so >_> I killed a aligator once, can i kill a human now with same training as me?

Try reading the arguments before jumping in. Your example is something similar where mine is not.

It seems people get all defensive when you say this match is a close one. I voted too close to call myself, but people get into a uproar over Bat bias. *shrugs shoulders*

Snake-Eyes was clearly the winner of this fight, but another solid wank for Batman.

Fan wank? Snake was clearly inferior.

@jayc1324: Beating numerous nameless, faceless, and featless ninjas is all in a day's work for any street-leveler worth their cred, it's not a supreme accomplishment by any means.

Gorgon is technically a ninja, Batman has beaten plenty of ninjas, he can most certainly beat Gorgon in a straight fight, yes?

I'm not really itching for a debate or anything here, feel free to respond if I missed something. I just wanted to point something out that I thought people were not bringing up.

Okay, I believe that this fight would be extremely long and evenhanded. I mean, they're both in top physical form, they're both martial arts masters, and they both have strengths/weaknesses that the other doesn't have. If you think one can beat the other with ease, you're nuts. But I've noticed that a lot of people were saying that Batman was more skilled than Snake Eyes because he had more skill showings, but I believe that's just because Batman has had more appearances. Batman has had a 70 career span, he's been at the center of THOUSANDS of adventures. Snake Eyes has never recieved an ongoing series on his own, and he's only been around for about 30 years (give or take). He's always been part of a Team aswell, so he's never really had any great Solo adventures (That I know of). Yet in most of his appearances, he's been established as a master of Martial arts/H2H combat and utilizes his skill. Call me crazy, but I think they're equals when it comes to martial arts. Batman has just had more appearances.

Chuck Dixon even said that he believes they're equal in skill.

@jayc1324: I wasn't referring to you, if you read through all of the old arguments some people still see him as amazingly inferior to Batman. i'm not gonna complain because i'm a good sport but I don't think Batman will beat him that easily. whether he catches him with his sword in the abdomen or breaks his arm or a rib etc. ect. ect. Point being, He's not going to just brush in their and manhandle him, he's going to have to fight hard

Beating numerous ninjas shouldn't equal snake eyes. Those guys are amazingly unskilled and cannon fodder sometimes in the Marvel/DC Universe lol

I'll excuse the second scan, because their fighting Elektra, but Daredevil (Not trying to undercut him) but these guys are supposed to be members of a centuries old organization and they can't deal with a street-leveler. Disgusting

@vmole: Firstly, batman has actually beaten ninjas with names before, like ubu. Secondly, league of assassins ninjas are trained to be able to fight 200 men at once. The fact that a large group of them cannot beat one batman means a lot.

Lastly, gorgon is a mutant unlike snake eyes and actually has powers. So that argument was irrelevant and unfair

@jayc1324: You made a general statement that basically reasoned because Batman has beaten multiple ninjas, that somehow Snake Eyes was not going to be an issue simply because he was just one ninja. I brought up Gorgon to illustrate the point that not every ninja is of equal stature and your statement was very broad and poorly reasoned.

@cadencev2: a comparable fight is the fight with Nobody. That type of experience is what will allow Batman to win.

True, but what feats does Nobody have to say he is on the same level as Snake Eye's. Lets put the other shoe on the other foot now. Snake Eyes has fought and beaten way more than nobody did, thus he must be better.

Thats the extent of arguments for Batman here.

Im just calling it how I see it. He have more feats in a well establish universe means he wins. Thats the arguments these days boil down to lol.

Well did you see how many knives Nobody put in Batman's back and Bats still kept fighting? Granted, Snake Eyes certainly has more feats, but Nobody isn't supposed to be a slouch by any means. Anyone who was involved in the training of Batman is supposed to have legitimacy, whether Tomasi was willing to put in the effort to establish feats or not is another matter.

@k4tzm4n : And apparently thinking Snake-Eyes could beat Batman in good fight is far-fetched, too, eh? I am disappointed by the outcome, simply because there were a couple things left answered; one specific claim people made was that Batman could replicate Snake-Eyes' techniques that were based on utilizing chi, yet none of them provided evidence (scans, page #'s, etc.) - and instead, continued to claim that he could simply because he had fought "more powerful people." So, what I saw was Batwank.

@jayc1324: Batman's experience also includes getting shot, stabbed, and being beaten to a pulp by various opponents over the years, is it valid to use those instances to prove that Snake Eyes can do the exact same thing to him? See how my reasoning works just as well as yours?

Gods no, it'll be one-sided as all hell. D:

I have the scans for that issue, and Shang Chi gave a very good account for himself at the start even if he did eventually get defeated in the end. His defeat certainly wasn't by some nobody that's for sure, the fact that he managed to hold his own for a bit against a guy that made Elektra and Wolverine into complete and utter buttmonkeys raised my respect for him a lot more.

@dark_cloud_: I don't think people meant Batman can replicate chi. More or less he could replicate the feats Snake accomplished with chi, without chi. Snake almost killed Storm with a chi charged punch, Batman could replicate that without chi.

Being disappointed is perfectly fine. Implying that you're blaming the outcome solely on fanboys is another. As for your first sentence, I only witnessed one person make the absurd claim that Batman would walk all over Snake Eyes, and even then, that's merely one vote out of 300+ (it's worth noting that a vast majority of the voters don't take part in the debate. Whether or not they read it... well, there's sadly no way of knowing). Anyone who even did the bare basics when it comes to research should hopefully have the common sense to realize this isn't a walk in the park for either character. And seeing as I make it crystal clear in the rules that people have four days to do research before voting, I'd like to believe at least a moderate amount of them do just that.

@vmole: Same here I have sooooo much more respect for him now as well. But you know at the end , Basically Gorgan shrugged off all of his attacks and then crippled him, I just posted this scan to demonstrate how lethal Gorgon is. As he was shown no selling all of Shi's attacks.

P.S: I hope Shang-Shi survived if you recall the ending

@jayc1324: Except Batman hasn't 'conquered' any of those things, he still remains very vulnerable to getting shot, stabbed, and beaten to a pulp. There remains a very possible outcome for him to be defeated by any of those means, it just greatly depends on the circumstances involved.

@vmole: he actually rarely gets shot and has a bullet proof suit. The last time he got shot in my memory was when cops with shotguns came out if nowhere and blasted him. And that was cheap because his suit wasn't bulletproof at this point and you can't really dodge shotgun blasts

He dodges more often than he gets shot and I don't think he's ever gotten shot by one person who had his complete attention. He dodged deadshot's bullet before so I don't think snake eyes is shooting him

@micah: eh I don't know about that. Batman has dodged him numerous times where he was trying to kill him. But anyway, does snake eyes even have marksmanship skills like deadshot?

@jayc1324: Not gonna lie, i'm not sure, but the comics i've seen him in, everything he's targeted or everyone he's targeted he has hit or killed and this is with a wide variety of weapons and with a wide variety of foes including ones with superhuman senses

Also this isn't SE feat but when he was training in the mountain with Storm Shadow. Storm Shadow was able to nail a squirrel through a wall while it was moving and jumping around and he also could not see it. The reason I include this feat is because SE is supposed to be on the same level as Storm Shadow or better

I thought Deadshot had a disorder when it came to targeting Batman which was the reason he couldn't kill him?

@jayc1324: Bulletproof =/= bullet immune, it just means that his suit is proofed up to a certain type of ammunition and can take fire without causing significant damage. We have armor today that does that exact same thing with the only issue, as with any armor, is taking repeat hits before failing to stand up to any more damage. Batman's armor gets damaged, a lot, it gets damaged all the time from repeated blunt force trauma, gunfire, and bladed weapons, it just gives Batman a margin of error, it's far from a guarantee.

You're also missing the point, he has a bulletproof suit in the first place because there is still a very high chance of him getting shot by people with amazing to even moderately good accuracy or even lucky shots from random stupid mooks, he can't dodge everything.

Also, how is getting shot by a shotgun considered 'cheap'? If it works, it works.

@monsterstomp : Super_Buck stated perfectly clear that Batman could replicate Snake-Eyes' chi-based techniques, and that's exactly what he meant to say. Batman can do the same move while not using chi? Impossible. He might be able to copy the movements, but he won't have the same result. You know, with the whole thing about a wave of chi flowing out when Snake-Eyes palm-struck Storm Shadow's forehead. If Batman can do that, without using chi, by all means... show me those scans.

@vmole: Batman rarely gets shot. The bulletproof batsuit was brought up just in case he does get shot but after dodging deadshot's shot, I don't think he can be shot by someone he is focusing on. He has been dodging bullets for years. Also, snake eyes doesn't have a shotgun unless I'm mistaken

So one of the rare times batman has been shot isn't relevant here since snake eyes doesn't have the weapon to do it. All I'm basically say is that thinking snake eyes can just shoot batman is silly. Not only does bats have consistent dodging feats, but his suit is bulletproof, he has shown that he has enough accuracy to throw a batarang into the barrel of a gun, and he dodged deadshot's bullets many times before.

@micah: I've never heard of deadshot having a disorder or anything. And deadshot has similar feats or marksmanship to that and batman still has a bullet proof suit even if SE is skilled enough to hit him which he might be (though it is unlikely)

@jayc1324: Deadshot pulls his shots against Batman, how many times do I have to state this? If Floyd wanted to hit Batman, and Batman isn't already behind anything that can provide any degree of cover against what he's packing, Batman is getting shot and that shot is going to hurt, badly.

@dark_cloud_: Doesn't matter. Batman can literally knock Storm out in one well placed hit. Snake couldn't do it with a chi amped hit. Chi adds NOTHING.

@vmole: No. Bullets aren't like punches. You can't pull them. That's simply makes no sense. And deadshot legitimately tries to kill batman. You are trying to debunk the feats if batman dodging his bullets but it still stands. Batman dodges bullets without cover all the time and has done this to deadshot before. And anyway, you ignored the other things I posted explaining why batman won't get shot.

@jayc1324: One Well placed Armor Piercing round should solve that

And the disorder I was referring to was Deadshot having a mental block when it comes to killing Batman, apparently its because he reminds him of his brother
