It's time for another Batman villain to enter the Battle of the Week! Our latest fight is sure to have a lot of painful punches and we imagine it'll take quite some time before either of these combatants goes down for the count. In one corner, we have Bane, the brilliant and brutal villain who broke the bat. Will his combination of skill, savagery, and pain tolerance lead him to victory? In the other corner, we have Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, the swift man without fear. Will his technique, agility, and reflexes give him the edge? Both are superb fighters with different mentalities and they bring different advantages to the table, but which one will you side with? Or do you think this one is too close to call?
Please remember there's no need to vote right away, so make sure you really think this one through before casting your vote. Which advantages hold more weight in the brawl? Do either of them have any disadvantages that could play a major role? How will their tactics benefit them? We strongly encourage you to take some time to imagine how it would go down before voting!
Match Rules
- Combatants are in character. This means their usual set of morals apply.
- This is a random encounter (no prep for either side). Both sides have no immediate knowledge of their opponents, either.
- This is Pre-52 Bane and he's wearing the same venom set-up he had during Knightfall. Aside from that, he's unarmed. Daredevil is equipped with two of his usual billy clubs.
- The fight takes place in Times Square, during the day. The city is unpopulated and everything is on limits.
- They begin 40 feet apart.
- Incapacitation, knockout, death or submission/surrender all count as elimination.
- Hey, you know what would be really cool? Treating everyone else in the debate with respect. If you think someone's saying something that just isn't true, go ahead and stick to the facts to point out why. There's no need at all to drop insults just because you disagree with someone. Seriously, this is just talking about a fictional fight, there's no need for immaturity and mudslinging.
- If you think the poll isn't going how it should, making an informative post about why a character is being underestimated and spreading the word is far more useful than just complaining.
- One more thing: you don't need to write an essay to have your post highlighted in Friday's article. Sometimes concise posts can be way more effective than a flood of paragraphs.
