    ....................... Batman could kill Jason in one move. Dick coudl take him down pretty easily.

    As for Tim, he took him down in a recent Robin issue.

    Hey thats what they say...but sorry if i dont see it on paper, the winner is still Jason! (expect for Robin, i did see that)

    Like the DC and Marvel fight...Superman beat Hulk, Storm beat Wonder Woman, and Spider-man beat Super-boy
    doesnt matter what people think, in the record books a win is a win...

    Robin got his @$$ kicked in this teen titans book!

    Well in a more recent issue of Robin, Jason got wooped.

    batman, threw a batarang at his neck and cut it: he could have killed him.

    Hell, even the Joker beat him to death.

    batman was cool before he gained extremist fanboys, abilities to turn invisible and breath in space, TDK, etc. Hell Wolverine's publicity isn't near as ridiculous as batmans....its gotten to the point where people claim that he can beat galactus. That is absurd on so many levels its not even funny.

    It was revealed that both Batman and Nightwing were holding up when they fought Jason, the best thing Jason could do to Dick (who is the weak link between him and Bruce) was to give a somewhat decent fight while he was holding back.

    Jason Todd can't do anything but to be a plot device

    Even that to me is too much. I mean he super smart, inovative, improvising and a great strategist, but Darkseid is so much out of his league it's not even funny.

    He also sucker punched him in a later issue. True he was cloaked, but come on!

    I don't think he's overrated however I do believe like others think he wins to many times making some people believe he's unbeatable when he's not.

    Batman beating Circe was by far some of the worst writing in DC Comics history. He's not even in her league, and she would turn him into any animal before he could throw any weapon at her.

    I think people believe Batman has more in that belt than he actually does.
