And the next character in 'Does Batman Always Win?' will be... (VOTE!)

Voted Punisher.

Just do Punisher. That will console half the crowd and enrage the other half......on second thought, you can pretty much do anyone.

@k4tzm4n Btw why is X-23 in the poll? We've already had Logan vs. Batman.

Punisher

Punisher. I already know Batman will probably win but I want to know how and by what margin.

Vote Punisher everyone.

I'm going with Elektra.

Bats would stomp Punisher and Elektra. X23 would be too much for him as would Bloodshot. Taskmaster would be the best match up.

I'll go for Elektra

I seriously hope people aren't voting for X 23. That would be an easy win for her. Taskmaster is the best matchup here.

Voted Punisher but future character could be the Cat for Batman.

Voted Taskmaster.

Seriously, come on. We've seen Punisher vs Batman how many times in the battle section.

They aren't the same characters?

@azura_thena: X-23 is a teenage version of Wolverine. A fight between her and Batman will be same as a fight between Wolverine and Batman, Batman loses.

if daredevil can take punisher but holds back due to them being allies batman would destroy frank . and i am a punisher fan. i think taskmaster would be a better fight

They're pretty much the same, we can also get Daken next but it will be boring, almost same points.

Taskmaster....definitely Taskmaster

TASKMASTER! an if he loses i'll cry T.T

Oops

Damn it pepole, why are you not voting for Bloodshot?

Everyone voted for Punisher really? Electra has owned him pretty effortlessly before...

Fret not, this poll doesn't actually determine the next character. It'll have some influence, sure, but this doesn't necessarily mean the winner is guaranteed to be in the next one.

I read vol 1 of Bloodshot and he seems a bit...crazy powerful for Bats.

They have the same powers and that's about it. Logan's more experienced and more skilled with a different fighting style so long as he's not in "murder everything with my claws like a nut" mode.

Taskmaster

Still it would feel like Batman vs. teenage Logan fight which I wouldn't like to read, and I'd like if the fights aren't against characters with high HF.

PUNISHER!

@rustyroy: Then don't vote for her. All I'm saying is that they're not the same character, not that the fight would be good.

For the record Daken is very different from Wolverine as well, more so than X-23.

@decoy_elite: Yeah I didn't vote for her.

Same powers is not pretty much the same and Daken is another animal entirely. X-23 doesn't have the same physicals or the same varied martial arts ability as Wolverine. She also doesn't have an adamantium skeleton and she and Wolverine fight in entirely different ways. The outcome might be the same but I am fairly certain the path to that outcome would be different. I am sure an argument could be made for Batman in that scenario as well.

@rustyroy: Nor did I. I'm hoping Elektra wins, although it seems Punisher will be the next opponent if K4tz goes by votes.

@azura_thena:

True, n X-23 and Batman battle could end up being vastly different than a Wolverine and Batman battle.

@wolverine08 said:

It could be. I would really look forward to Mr. @k4tzm4n making a well thought out argument for it.

@azura_thena: Yeah but I'm hoping characters who have high HF ability shouldn't be included in this, I saw some of scans from of her from the Snake Eyes vs. X-23 article and she is way too fast, too strong and too durable than Batman and HF makes a great difference during a fight, I'd rather stick to characters who are almost evenly matched.

Batman did defeat Punisher off-panel in JLA/Avengers #1

I voted for Tasky. Why? He's the most interesting choice for me.
I can't see bats winning 6/10 times over anyone with healing factor (No prep of course.) Plus to me Elektra is just a ninja and Punisher is just a soldier. A Punisher Vs Batman fight would only be good if they both had prep. I can't see Punisher shooting his way to victory against a guy who beats up thugs with guns on a daily basis. Again if they both had prep it be different. Tasky is the most interesting. He doesn't need prep and he doesn't have super healing factor there's no clear win in my opinion.

( + )

Taskmaster is leading now.

Oh, well that'd be more interesting.

Definitely wanna see Bats vs Taskmaster.

Batman calls up Moon Knight for tips and flys a plane into Tasky.
Bam, battle over.

I can agree with that. At least with the part about seeing characters that don't have enhanced stats WITH a healing factor. Seems like that is what is going to happen anyway when looking at the poll. :D

I LOVE The Punisher, but its a waste of a battle imo. No way he beats Batman.

Huzza!

Not necessarily, Bloodshot's healing factor can be overloaded if he doesn't consume enough protein and Batman did win against Deadpool.

@jonny_anonymous: Guess you do have a point, but I can't change my vote now. *Shrug*

Bloodshot! I'd love to see Valiant's powerhouse fight The Dark Knight.

I forgot about the Deadpool fight. I gotta see why he lost again.

( + )

Bloodshot. That would be an awesome fight.

I voted Punisher. X-23 is too similar to Wolverine for me to even consider her.

Punisher is way too obvious. Taskmaster might be interesting.
