If you defeat him will you kill him?

I'd use a combination of the tactics employed by Bane and Hush...throw in some Talons for good measure. All using the brain of Lex Luthor.

Id be Killer Croc and attempt to take batman by suprise and instantly kill him.

It wouldn't be hard to kill Batman. Set up a heist, wait for him to come, have someone snipe him from afar.

I'd be the Joker and beat Damien with a crowbar and blow him up like was done to Jason Todd, because I think he'd die of heartache after losing another son... His biological son.

whoa I don't think Bruce differentiate between biological or adoptive sons

I'm Clayface. I make myself appear as a horribly mutated body in some especially peculiar way, and then I wait for Batman to show. When Batman inspects the body, I quickly go clay, leap down in his mouth, form a spike, and jab myself up into his brain.

@G_Money_Christmas:

Nah! Can't be much worse than losing Jason. Not at this stage anyway where he just recently learned he had a son, and has spent very little time with him.

Cute name.

Joel Schumacher,I would make yet another batman movie which will destroy the reputation of the batman franchise and end batman.

lolololol good one :D

I will be ras take bane's venom use it to kill mr freeze take his gun and armour then I will give the armor to my army to improve on it then I will use my skills, venom and improve armor and freeze gun then wait for batman to show up after a bank robbery and then kill him.

Poison Ivy has had Bats in her grasp several times....I think that would be a nice way to kill someone...by having them as their slave... :O

I would be scarecrow and develop an insanity formula that would make batman's mind like that of the joker.

@Bruxae: One does not simply take batman by surprise... xD

Who: Bane

How: old fashioned pro wrasslin

Replace turnbuckle with stalagmite spike in batcave

Joker, leave Bruce messages constantly, on his voicemail, at the office, at home, asking him to visit me ever single day because I have very important information, then when he does tell him I forgot what I wanted to tell him while laughing in his face. He'd go crazy from the aggravation.

I would be Ra's Al Ghul and I would simply tell the Joker that Batman is Bruce Wayne. I would offer Poison Ivy a chance to work together in ridding the world of too many humans so that plants could thrive and offer Great White Shark eternal life from the lazarus pit in exchange for destroying Wayne Corp financially.

I would be Croc. I would eat him. The butler too.

Killer Croc. I would throw a rock at him! (a big rock)

@DarthShap do I sense another Batman: The Animated Series fan?

@CrimsonCake What a truly evil-genius like plot. I love it.

Joel Schumacher,I would make yet another batman movie which will destroy the reputation of the batman franchise and end batman.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

@GoldenPuma123: But then batman would be unstoppable

How will I defeat Batman? By letting him defeat me.

I'm the Joker. We all know Joker can easily find out Batman's identity if he wanted to. So I do. Find out the kids indentity too.

Then what do I do? Kidnap the son. This should be easy enough. I'm the Joker after all. I beat him to near death with a crowbar than blow him up in a warehouse just for nostalgia sake. I also record it and send the video to Batman.

In the video, I tell him how I know his identity, and that he should probably leave the Batcave and check up top.

Batman runs to the staircase, up into Wayne Manor, to find... Alfred on the ground in a pool of blood.

The rest is easy. Batman finds me. Batman kills me.

Batman is now defeated. The uncorruptable symbol of hope for Gotham... has killed someone. He can no longer be Batman. He can no longer inspire Gotham.

That way, rather than just killing Bruce Wayne as most of you have, I have truly killed Batman.

Sniper rifle and stay camoed on a building near the batsignal, then it's just a waiting game.

@nickzambuto: Thats actually not a bad idea.

The most effective way to harm a character like Batman would be through a similar tactic like Hush. The only villain who could have the power and resources to all of this would be Rahl al Ghul. By doing the following steps you would have slowly wittled away Batman's energy, strength and will, until his ultimate death.

-Harm the people the people Batman cares about - Attack Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Alfred Pennyworth, Barbara Gordon etc.

-Remove Batman's resources - Buy out Wayne Industries, destroy Wayne Manor and the Batcave.

-Control the villains - Convince Bane, Clayface, Scarecrow etc. to work together and attack Batman at the same time.

-Destroy Batman's reputation - Frame Batman for various crimes, scandalise Bruce Wayne.

- Make Batman's identity known - Reveal Batman's identity to all of his enemies.

-Get Batman to kill someone - After getting the Joker to inflict more harm to Batman, he may finally snap and kill the Joker. Batman is finally broken, corrupted and beaten. If he refuses to kill, get him to fight someone, wait until he has commited a powerful blow to them and fake their death, causing Batman to think he has killed.

-Taunt Batman - Taunt Batman on his failures, such as Jason Todd's death, much like Hush did.

-Kill Batman - The easiest way to kill him would be when he is acting out his Bruce Wayne persona, which he doesn't have the protection and weapons of his Batman costume. While he is in the middle of a speech to the public, assassinate him through a sniper rifle.

I'd be Bane and sit on him fatally wounding him, film it and put it on youtube!

I would be Bane and just break his back again. If it aint broke dont fix it.

A combination of Prometheus and the Joker. Now I that'll be crazy!
