The Witch King vs Batman

2 hours prep, both.

Morals off, bloodlust on.

Battle ends in death.

Battle takes place at the Black Gate.

Who wins?

Batman

Batman should win.

Batman due to prep.

Witch King.

Bruce can't prep against something unknown to him.

Totally agreed, only thing he's gonna do with prep is call in the Spectre to do the job for him, that or use his Witch King repellent from his utility belt! One sided battle.

Batman is a man, so technically, he won't win.

And in 2 hours prep, he can't have sex change.

Not to sound like one of the bat-fans on here, but wouldn't prep mean they have knowledge of who they're going up against before hand? Also, Batman does have knowledge in mythology....

If Batman can solo the Justice League, he can beat Witch King

Appearently the Witch King solos justice leauge. According to these LOTR fanatics.

@Batman242:

He's in a different universe here, different mythology, so that logic doesn't work sometimes. And OP said they are in the black gates.

IMO, that prep thing isn't really needed. As the book states and Witch King himself, "NO MAN CAN KILL ME". And the books proved that.

So Bruce ain't winning.

batman solos the lotr universe, imagine batman getting rid of the ring instead of that lil bitch Frodo

@afueikawa: True. Witch King wins. I never even watched LotR before though.

@Batman242: Watch it mate. Good movie.

I don't like the latest prequel though.

@afueikawa: You mean Hobbit? Looks like the most interesting one to me. But hey, what do I know?

Not true. First off, it's not a gender thing. As I explain on these boards all the time, Man is a race in LOTRs. There are male Men and female Men. The Witch King was killed by a Hobbit, Merry specifically, not Eowyn. The scene that shows otherwise from the movie is a mistake, a misinterpretation of the scene by Peter Jackson. Merry killed him by stabbing him in the foot with his blade of Westernesse, a dagger that was made when Arnor was at war with Angmar. Every blade made during that time was given this enchantment designed to kill the Witch King instantly. In the books, the Witch King was clearly dead before Eowyn stabbed him through the vizor. She even complains about it later to Aragorn in the chapter, "The Last Debate".

Either way, this isn't some kind of immunity. It's just a prophecy. The Witch King was fated to not die at the hands of Man, because his fate was to be slain by a Hobbit. The only thing this prophecy did was make the Witch King fearless, because he knew he was going to win any fight against a Man.

Anywho, on topic. I want to say Batman wins this, but I don't know of any simple way he can defeat the Witch King. He's gonna need to do something with magic during his two hours of prep, because tech isn't going to help much against the Witch King. Especially since Batman could die just from getting near him. He's gonna need magical defenses to deal with the dread, and he's gonna need something designed to hurt wraiths.

@Laurcus:

But still, Bruce is a man. And he doesn't have any westernese (enchanted) item in this.

So he loses.

I agree. Anything Batman could do with his prep is probably tech based, and wouldn't be of much help.

Unless anyone has some magical prep feats for Bats?

Now i see prep is batman can use anything within his resources? So he goes borrows a ring from the green lantern core and because bruce has a great mind he uses it and traps the witchking

@hulkbuster94: lol BS, 1. ring doesn't protect against magic based attacks at all, 2. thats like saying Batman should just get in an Ironman suit and solo the whole of LOTR, its assumed from his own equipment OP didn't mention any equipment, i.e. lantern ring.

Along the line of prep, if you call lantern ring Witch King gets the one ring, which is the most powerful magic ring in LOTR, and he becomes sauron-like, or he could use it for stealth, since either doesn't know what to exactly prep for, batman wouldn't come with ant-stealth equipment

....what... Why is this even a thing.

@orician_seis: Why not, that is what the battle forum is for. People put whoever and whatever they want to against each other.

These.

@jmarshmallow: hardly, batman can't tank magic

He is literally, the one thing that cannot kill the Witch King. A male.

You were saying?

Jmarshmallow

@jmarshmallow: By magic I was referring body smashing hits, or words of death

Also batman is not immortal, or invincible if Toxic really wanted to end his life with magic he could have done so, I'm calling plot device on that just so Toxic could monologue, plus thats hardly the magic I am referring to, looked more like a taser to me bro lol.

< this sort of magic batman can't tank, the magic that breaks your body and can be imbued in weapons easily.

I'll go with the Witch King

Witch King, easily.

There is absolutely nothing Batman can do to defeat him.

NO MAN CAN SLAY THE WITCH KING. ( man in Tolkien world is human)

I wish this wasn't spite. The OP is in the witch kings favor because it requires death. I think bats would have given an amazing fight but witch king will morgul blade him eventually and then what? Then what...unless batman preps by bringing magic item... So maybe not spite. Still he is man.

witch king is not alive so batmans win condition is impossible. i also dont see what he can do with 2 hours thatd allow him to hurt or hit an incomporeal magical undead spectre with potent magic of its own. only a specialised magic sword enabled merry to harm him

Mo man can kill WK. :p

Witch King wins.

There is absolutely nothing Batman can do to defeat him.
