Mar 22 2010There Can Be Only One: Vader Vs. Batman

Vader's like, "Hey batguy, this IS the crotch you're looking for", and Batman's all, "Whee, I'm swinging like Spidey!"

Thanks to Dustin, who whipped both Vader and Batman's asses for not coming to his birthday.

Vader would totally destroy him.
2. naas - March 22, 2010 11:00 AM
@1 yes he would....
wtf is it with batman & lightsabers lately?
3. ThatGuy - March 22, 2010 11:00 AM
Vader would win, not only that. but this is an epic win.
4. R - March 22, 2010 11:01 AM
I came in my panties just by looking at that picture.

Batman has no chance....

All of these awesome batman pictures make me want to make a batman collage video!
:D

the only way vader would win is if that's jean-paul under that cowl -- or MAYBE richard. but if it's bruce? vader's done.

@2: I agree. The trend frightens me. And yes to @1 as well

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photosho[ job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was walking through the jungle with his friends, and was arguing about who would win in a fight, superman or the flash, and then stepped on a tripwire, and almost got killed, but Desmond saved him.

Actually it looks like Batman is wondering where the fuck Robin is, little does he know that Robin shat in his green undies after seeing Vader and jumped ship. Holy Fuck that Batman, he’s all yours...
12. ThatGuy - March 22, 2010 12:01 PM
it looks like vader is getting ready to force choke the $hit out of batman.
13. Blastphemer - March 22, 2010 12:02 PM
My $'s on D. Vader FTW!!! Cool pic, but strange mix. Seems like a sci-fi on sci-fi action would be a little more interesting. DC still has to learn to kick Marvel's ass before they start jumping genres.

Batman wouldn't know what to do with a lightsaber. But I would like to see this fight (as short lived as it would probably be) just to see Vader kick his ass.
15. SithBlue - March 22, 2010 12:16 PM
20 bucks on batman kicking vaders ass
16. Johnnycakes - March 22, 2010 12:37 PM

Go Vader, Beat that Christian HayBale!!
18. Richard McBeef - March 22, 2010 1:00 PM
Cut batman's string - GAME OVER
19. car air purifier - March 22, 2010 1:22 PM
I'd have to go with Batman.
20. Milkman - March 22, 2010 1:24 PM
If you ask me, Vader force chokes the chicken nightly.
21. OJ's Mom - March 22, 2010 1:40 PM
Batman couldn't even handle Doctor Phosphorous in Detective Comics #469, how is he going to fight Vader inside a pool of what appears to be molten metal?
Weak.

I like it, but the shark one was funny. This is just mixin shit that don't need to be mixed! WILL IT BLEND????
24. Johnny Lava - March 23, 2010 10:13 AM
I'm sure Batman can handle that saber just as good, if not BETTER then any Jedi. The problem is "The Force". Once DV uses that shit on BM, BM is done.
25. MARLON - March 23, 2010 2:56 PM
I'm offended by that "swinging like spidey" line Batman INVENTED the rope swing! (or zorro, whatevs)
My point is, Spiderman stole it from Batman because (yeah I'm about to say it) Stan Lee has major struggles with originality and has a massive hardon for everything Batman does.
Also, if I didn't piss off enough people today, Batman would poop on Vader.
26. Star Wars Rock! - March 24, 2010 5:43 AM
"but if it's bruce? vader's done."
WTF's up with you batman lovers?
I'm sorry but there isn't the least bit of badass inside of batman, The only thing that would be cooler than watching him getting sliced by Vader is if it was by Star killer. On second thought though, there wouldn't be much to see, as batman would be reduced to atoms faster than winking your eyes.
Cheers
27. Oh shit son. - March 24, 2010 9:31 AM
Am the only one who noticed the completely redundant knife on the end of Batman's lightsaber? What the fuck is he gonna do with it? Slice his sandwiches?

Seriously now...in the event that the Star Wars universe crossed paths with the D.C. one, it's obvious by this image that somehow Bruce Wayne discovered that his resilience in battle and ability to survive assaults from supernatural beings is a result of him actually being strong in the FORCE. Obviously, the Jedi Academy (or maybe Vergere before she ran off with the Yuzhaan Vong) must have visited Earth and tested him for midichlorians, then taught him Jedi fighting skills.

In a fight between Darth Vader and Batman, Chuck Norris would win.
30. D. VADER FTW! - May 28, 2010 10:33 AM
Clearly if batman has a saber he must've killed a Jedi, or atleast stolen it from one. So if he's good enough to kill atleast one who says he couldn't do it again? And Batmans utilies wouldn't do shit against Vaders "shell".
All in all, VADER FTW!

Here what happens:
Vader will throw Batman up in the sky and see if he is really a batman :) when Batman lands, oops he won't land on the earth , he will probably die without oxygen in space.
