Black Panther Replaces Batman In Gotham City

What if Black Panther replaced Batman in Gotham City?

I think he would do a fairly good job at keeping Gotham Safe

I like BP but man do I hate that stupid collar

Would read

BP would kill the Joker

Black Panther would break the Bane....

Pimpin' ain't easy, dude.

Black Panther would escape back to Wakanda after seeing how gritty Gotham crime life is.

I think he'd be very ruthless, probably killing the Joker years ago. He 'd be very short on patience.

He would make gotham a MUCH safer place. Characters like joker, bane, croc, etc, who consistently kill people when they somehow get outta jail would eventually die at Black Panthers hands. That's just how he operates, if it is proven to be necessary to kill someone for the safety of the masses, he will do it. Half of the villains wouldn't even be alive anymore.

If Black Panther goes on a murder spree; offing villains, he will end up being treated like a villain. JL or JLA would bring him in for trial and he'd face jail time for life.

What Bat Villain could actually run him out of town seriously?

assuming he'd get caught....

Bat-Mite.

gotham would be way better off. he would kill most of the villains and the ones left would truly be afraid to commit crimes.

Lol, Batmite would scare us all ,but the Black Panther is prepared and has accessed the DCU records and has a plan.

He'd do a good job scaring villains straight... Ya know the crazy ones

They'd have the cure cancer, which they will not share :)

I think he'd do a great job.

He's intelligent enough to match wits with Gotham's Rogues, his physicals and tech/resources are both better than Bruce's, and he even looks like the Bat - so the whole fear aspect's there. Maybe he could even use Wakandan tech to upgrade Arkham, considering that place has the worst security record of any DC penitentiary.

But overall, I'm not a big fan of the street-level Panther. The international king from Priest's run or the genius superhuman from Hickman's stuff is more my type.

Okay so for the general question, we have a general answer, that black panther will easily manage to everything better than Batman because he can kill anybody anytime he wants. No morals.

Now to a different approach, as we all know, the villain of a superhero is just the mirror image of the hero's personality. Like a psychotic killer is the villain for a psychotic man wearing Bat suit. A genetically altered symbiote is the villain for a genetically altered man-spider(with hyphen). So going by that analogy we have, just exac villain to Black Panther and he would do exactly what he does in Wakanda.

crime rate would go down and arkham would be a whole lot emptier. but there would be a villain cemetery.

Dr.Hurt. That dude destroyed Batman without ever laying a finger on him. To me he is probably the greatest Batman villain yet no one ever mentions him.

It'd be pretty much the same. I've always considered these two equals in pretty much every area.

The only difference is, that BP doesn't hold back as much as Bats.

Joker dies, Bane gets broken, Gotham is safe and everyone gets free iPads.

The Cool thing is, he'd do great break Bane, kill Joker, and do everything Batman doesn't have the guts to do and when the world comes to get him, he uses Batman's contingency plan on the Justice League and ends up escaping working at night well prepared for more fights.

Also he is still a king and diplomatic immunity is still in effect. All he needs to do is prove that in some alternative universe he is king of a country and he gets away because he has diplomatic immunity and not enough proof to lock him up. He's then a well known hero who villains fear and despite heroes trying to catch him in the act, they never will and Gotham will forever be free of psychopaths.

No, they'd get the far superior Wakandan tablet - the bPad (see what I did there xD)

He'll do a great job at not getting high sells.

Joker. Two Face. Mad Hatter. Bane. Zsasz. All those psychos are gonna be in a hole.

It would be a much safer place and a much better story to read. T'Challa killing the villains of Gotham who have killed too many. He'd do a better job than Batman. And if the JL notice BP killing villains, they aren't going to immediately kill him. He could explain his reasoning. He could probably convince them that what he is doing is right.

Batman's my favorite hero, but I have to say Black Panther would do better, he's got access to Wakandan technology, has four lifetimes of experience, and he's actually willing to kill Gotham's rogues.

@rustyroy: Yeah BP would be in Gotham for two weeks until the book gets canceled lol. Then siddenly he winds up back in Wakanda because their was "urgent business" or some excuse.

Oh Black Panther, Batman's supposed equal in every way except popularity.

As much as I like Batman, Black Panther would make Gotham safer, but he wouldn't exactly be a better hero than Batman, since he would kill so many people.

Which saves more lives

Also Storm will do more help than the Batman Family.

@veshark: lol

You know this explanation is better than the one I gave. I use this.

@bogey:Doesn't Panther have diplomatic immunity since he is King of Wakanda?
