* WeakButSkilled:
** Although a very strong human (bench-pressing half a ton could break some Olympic records), Batman is noticeably weaker than other superheroes as most superheroes have SuperStrength. He can outmatch Spider-Man with his knowledge of over 100 different martial arts. At the same time, Batman is not strong enough to beat Spider-Man to death and even with his body armor, Batman would have little defense against someone as strong as Spider-Man (as Batman's body armor is light enough to allow him mobility).
** Batman is slightly physically slower and weaker than Cap but has a slight edge in skill, MASTERING all the martial arts skills that he knows.
** With his Hellbat armor, he becomes StrongAndSkilled. Unfortunately, compared to Tony's wide assortment of varied armors, he was simply outclassed in versatility and technological prowess making him UnskilledButStrong in comparison.

* StealthExpert: He could disappear and reappear in an instant thanks to his mastery of stealth and the various gadgets he carries around his utility belt. This helps net him the win in the end.

* TheStoic: Boy as he ever; not making a single peep throughout his fight against Spider-Man. This carries over to his battle against
Cap.



* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Tony's wise guy. He takes this bout with a grim tone and constantly warns Tony not to push him.
* TheStrategist: Batman is clearly more intelligent than Captain America in both tactics and knowledge, even if Cap is an effective commander. Batman was able to conclude that Cap's shield was too much of a threat, so Batman gained an advantage in the match by disarming and stealing the shield. He also confused and ambushed America by using his gadgets and stealth.
* StrippedToTheBone: After Tony makes the Nano Armor self-destruct with Bruce inside, all that's left of the Dark Knight is his smoking skeleton.



* SuperIntelligence: Batman is a super genius with a photographic memory and the world's greatest detective, bar none. Sadly, it doesn't help him in his fights with Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Iron Man, who also possess Super Intelligence on par with him.

** In ''Black Panther VS Batman", the Dark Knight loses due to his opponent being StrongAndSkilled and having better resources and superior technology. Never mind the fact that he lacks any gadget capable of negating the Panther Habitat.

But considering how many of his victories over super-beings are the result of being CrazyPrepared, along with Death Battle rules preventing such a thing, and Spider-Man being a completely unknown opponent, you can hardly blame him. In the end, though, none of Batman's abilities, tools, greater combat experience, and tactics mean jack-squat against an opponent whose powers are practically tailor-made negate his main strengths.strengths.
** In his battle against Captain America, he attacks from all blind spots, exploits pressure points, Steals Cap's shield, and uses it against him.



* CrazyPrepared: The hosts note that with prep time, Bruce can be prepared for pretty much anything in a fight. Wiz notes that his major victories in canon are due to months of planning and preparation that come ''before'' he throws the first punch. Unfortunately, this is averted in Death Battle due to the rules.

For example, the Justice Buster was meant to be his main tool in defeating the other founding members of the Justice League, and while it was well-equipped to abuse their weaknesses, its armaments could easily be countered by the vast majority of Iron Man armors.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: As discussed in his previous appearances, Batman is a master martial artist and is in peak physical and mental condition -- the trauma of losing his parents at a young age notwithstanding. Unfortunately for him, this simply isn't enough to overcome the Panther Habit.



* CastFromHitPoints: The main flaw of Batman’s Hellbat armor was that it fed on his own metabolism and several of it’s features put a strain on his body.

** Bruce Wayne's superhero persona is called '''Bat'''man. His Batsuit has a very bat-like design, and he's also seen with bats in his battle against Spider-Man and Black Panther respectively.
** Likewise, Peter Parker's superhero persona is called '''Spider'''-Man.
** The '''black panther''' for T'Challa, of course. He has a suit that has the appearance of a panther, is the totemic avatar of the Panther Goddess, and has abilities of a panther such as enhanced strength, agility, and senses. When he gets the drop on Batman near the end of the battle, he's even briefly shown as the image of a lunging panther.
* BadassNormal: Bruce and Tony have no superpowers, just two men who are solely relying on their advanced technology and wits to contend with godly beings.
* TheCowl:
** Wiz describes both Batman and Spider-Man as the "guardians of the night" and "the superhuman saviors of the lone and helpless". Batman watches over Gotham City from the shadows, his silhouette is enough to strike fear in the hearts of petty criminals, and after Spider-Man gets onto the building where they'll fight, Batman jumps out of the shadows.
** Black Panther sometimes operates in the night.
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** Black Panther wears an all-black high-tech suit of Vibranium-laced armor but is the [[GoodIsNotSoft more-or-less benevolent]] king of an African nation.
** Bruce Wayne may spend his nights dressed in a suit of bat-themed high-tech combat armor, but he's one of the DC universe's staunchest superheroes.

* GeniusBruiser:
** T'Challa is one of the top eight smartest people in the Marvel universe, possessing multiple degrees from some of the world's most renowned universities. He is also an even better fighter than Captain America. He can equal Bruce in both combat and mental ability, though it turns out equipment is what carries the day... equipment T'Challa has a serious edge.
** Bruce has mastered multiple martial arts and possesses a genius-level intellect and keen analytical mind to match. He proves to be T'Challa's equal in skill and mental capacity, but equipment load-out proves a fatal discrepancy.

* DeadpanSnarker: ''Listen'' to him during his battle with Batman; not entirely deadpan, but definitely a snarker.
* DestinationDefenestration: In their one-on-one fight, he gets knocked through a window ''into'' a tall tower by Batman, and the latter persistently tries to knock him out of another window. He eventually succeeds after a lot of hassle, but Spider-Man also pulls him down with him.
* {{Determinator}}: A trait he shares with Batman. Despite possessing superpowers, it would also require a strong will to overcome the horrors, trauma, and adversaries that come with being a superhero ''and'' remain a good man despite being a ButtMonkey.
* FantasticFightingStyle: He developed the Way of the Spider fighting style, using the SpiderSense at its full capacity.
* GadgeteerGenius: Spider-Man made his signature web-shooters, web fluid, and web cartilages on a budget.
* ImprobablyHighIQ: 250; not as bad an example of this trope as Donatello, but still pushing it.
* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: A bite from a radioactive spider turned unassuming nerd Peter Parker into a superhero.
* KryptoniteFactor: Ethyl Chloride Pesticide. Since Batman wasn't given time to research Spider-Man's attributes, he didn't have any of the poison to use on him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The ''Film/SpiderMan1'' main theme, the main theme of VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan, his theme from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and ''Saving New York'' from Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan play during his analysis.
* LightningBruiser: Spider-Man is fast, agile, very durable, and quite strong. Without Batman's gadgets, the Caped Crusader was easily overwhelmed by Peter Parker. Boomstick said that at the very least, Bats can handle Spider-Man's speed and strength, but the latter's SpiderSense prevents that.
* ManOfKryptonite: The combination of his SpiderSense and the [[FantasticFightingStyle Way of the Spider]] makes Spider-Man nearly untouchable in combat and counter against other experienced and skilled martial artists, making him a bad match-up against Batman's main strengths.
* ManOfTheCity: To New York City.
* NervesOfSteel: Keeps a talkative and joking persona in the most stressful situations as Spider-Man. In their one-on-one fight, Spider-Man is ''unfazed'' by the Dark Knight's intimidating appearance and is pretty much the only one quipping.
* PrimaryColorChampion: His costume is largely red and blue.
* ProjectileWebbing: Spider-Man's web-shooters allow him to shoot out his webbing as projectiles.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: How he made his physical contact against Batman at the start of the fight.
* ReallyGetsAround: Even a bigger ladies' man than Batman himself. One of his listed feats during his analysis is having more girlfriends than any other superhero.
* {{Revenge}}: PlayedForLaughs, he was once rejected by Batman from joining the Justice League. Boomstick jokes that he probably wishes he could fight him to the death in revenge.
* SpiderSense: Its warnings make it difficult for Batman to land a blow. True to the comics, it isn't always active and Spidey is tricked a few times even when it does activate, but still, it is key to his victory since it counteracts Batman's stealth tactics and projectiles. This forces Batman to resort to fighting in close combat, where the superhuman Spidey soon overpowers him.
* SuperSpeed: Can dodge automatic fire thanks to both his Spider-Sense and speed. He is sometimes depicted as running about 200mph. Boomstick claims that Batman could find ways to counter Spider-Man's speed, but Spidey's agility made it difficult for Batman to win a fair fight.
* SuperStrength: Spider-Man can lift 10 tons, lift a tank, and knock a dinosaur out with a single punch. This is 20 times stronger than Batman. Batman's body armor could not survive the amount of damage Spidey could dish out. Spidey ended the fight by slingshotting himself into Batman with enough force and strength to rip off Batman's limbs, instantly killing him.
* SuperToughness: Spider-Man easily outlasts Batman, as Spiderman has survived superhuman blows in the past even though he is unarmored. He's been hit by cars and trains multiple times and had pumpkin bomb grenades blown up in his face, yet can continue a fight as if nothing happened. Batman's non-lethal gadgets and combat skills couldn't kill Spidey fast enough to guarantee a victory.
* TaughtByExperience: In the post-fight breakdown, it’s noted that one of the reasons for his victory is that his ArchEnemy the Green Goblin uses many of Batman’s tricks.
* ThouShallNotKill: Like Batman, he also adheres to this principle, but it's also {{averted|Trope}} in the rules of Death Battle.
* TrashTalk: Peter tends to run his mouth at opponents. For example- "You got a black belt in ''stupid'' if you think you're gonna beat me!"
* VictoryByEndurance: Besides ManOfKryptonite, Spider-Man is also able to outlast and exhaust Batman of whatever tricks he has up his sleeves.
* VigilanteMan: One of the many traits he shares with Batman. Initially, Peter became Spider-Man as a way to earn money and feel validated after spending years as a bullied nerd with no friends. After the tragic circumstance of losing his Uncle Ben that involves him indirectly, Spider-Man atones by helping ordinary citizens and takes on threats that regular cops and the law can't handle.
* WallCrawl: Crawling up walls and buildings is one of his spider-like abilities.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Uses his webs to bring Bruce in close several times.

!![[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Captain America (Steve Rogers)]]
--->'''Gabe Jones''': ''"Who are you supposed to be?"''\\
'''Captain America''': ''"I'm... Captain America."''\\

to:

* AttackItsWeakPoint: The hosts explain that Batman has often beaten tougher foes by abusing this trope, like preventing Bane from getting a supply of Venom. However, Black Panther had nothing he could exploit in the same manner given his default loadout.
* BadassNormal: He's the only founding member of the Justice League to not have any superpowers at all. By all accounts, all he's done is train and study enough to the point where he's massively tougher and smarter than the average human even though he is still one by the end of the day. Experience fighting superpowered villains allowed him to keep pace with Black Panther for a while.
* BatmanGambit: He's able to get people to do what he wants by making them think it was their own decision. During the fight, he goads Black Panther into walking over a bomb that would destroy the bridge he's on and fall to his death. However, T'Challa quickly recovered, fatally punishing Bats' mistake.
--> '''Batman:''' (*after trapping Black Panther*) [[BondOneLiner Amateur.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: As discussed in his previous appearances, Batman is a master martial artist and is in peak physical and mental condition -- the trauma of losing his parents at a young age notwithstanding. Unfortunately for him, this simply isn't enough to overcome the Panther Habit.
* CompositeCharacter: As various Bat-related media had come out since Batman's last appearance in Season 2, including ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and the New 52 Movie Universe starting with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'', they were incorporated into Batman's character.
* CrazyPrepared: He's gained a reputation both in-universe and out for having a trick up his sleeve to get out of nearly any problem. Bats basically boast about it in front of Black Panther's face. Unfortunately, Vibranium armor proved to be something he ''wasn't'' ready for.
--> '''Black Panther:''' Prepare yourself.
--> '''Batman:''' I'm prepared for ''anything''.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: After being slashed open, Bruce is decapitated while a whale eats up his headless corpse.
* CurbStompCushion: Batman's loss is inevitable due to Black Panther being [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter his equal in martial arts and combat experience, on top of having superpowers, better equipment, greater resources, and no exploitable weaknesses]]. Yet, he still gives T'Challa one hell of a fight despite the Vibranium armor ensuring [[NoSell zero damage]] to the latter.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Due to a gun being what killed his family, Bruce has a pathological hatred of them. This is what really bites him in the ass -- Boomstick and Wiz searched high and low for a weapon Batman could have used to overwhelm Black Panther's Vibranium armor and found that he didn't have any. As well, any usage of guns was right out because of this hatred.
* FedToTheBeast: During the encounter in the orca enclosure, he attempts to do this to Black Panther by blowing up the walkway to make him fall in, but T'challa avoids this by [[SteppingStonesInTheSky jumping off the falling debris to get to the high ground]]. Later on, this fate befalls his decapitated body after T'Challa kicks it in, where an orca indeed eats him.
* IdleRich: Bruce Wayne in the public eye is just the face of Wayne Industries. This is used to contrast with T'Challa's very-busy-king image.
* LightningBruiser: He's strong and fast enough to take down rooms full of mooks ranging from thugs to ninjas to mercenaries, and his body armor enables him to tank hits from the likes of Bane. However, while he's defeated opponents as strong, fast, and tough as T'Challa, he's simply not equipped to bypass the nearly indestructible Panther Habit, and his armor is no match for the Habit's Antarctic Vibranium claws.
* {{Ninja}}: Bruce Wayne trained in ninjutsu, and Batman uses that training to great effect in taking out criminals.
* OffWithHisHead: On the receiving end by Black Panther.
* StealthExpert: Bruce trained in ninjutsu and specializes in using the shadows in conjunction with his dark costume to catch enemies off guard.
* StealthHiBye: He's a master of disappearing as soon as you take your eyes off him. Even Superman doesn't know how he does it.
* ThouShaltNotKill: He usually will never kill anyone, even someone like the Joker. The sole exception is Darkseid. He also refuses to carry a gun or any type of firearm because he knows how unstable he can be and refuses to take the chance. This is his undoing because none of his gadgets had the power to damage Black Panther's Vibranium-laced armor. Though Batman ''could'' have possibly created a gun-like gadget to get around this, he never would have taken this option, thus leaving him with no way to defeat Black Panther.

* BackForTheDead: Returns for a fourth time after being defeated by Black Panther in Season 5... only to die at the end once again at the hands of Iron Man.
* CastFromHitPoints: The main flaw of Batman’s Hellbat armor was that it fed on his own metabolism and several of it’s features put a strain on his body. This was a deciding factor in the fight, as while the Hellbat could match and surpass most of Tony’s armors, the strain it placed on his body meant he couldn’t keep up in a prolonged fight -- and Tony's army of suits certainly could keep him busy for a while.
* CrazyPrepared: Batman is prepared for nearly any situation and has numerous contingency plans meant to take down some of his world’s heaviest hitters. Unfortunately Tony was even more prepared than him.
* CripplingOverspecialization: A major factor in his loss is while he had numerous contingency plans, most of said plans were tailored towards specific beings, as opposed to Iron Man’s suits, with even the most specialized of his armors having the same basic arsenal. For example, the Justice Buster was meant to be his main tool in defeating the other founding members of the Justice League, and while it was well-equipped to abuse their weaknesses, its armaments could easily be countered by the vast majority of Iron Man armors.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The Hellbat's Devastator, a punch powered by the strength of fellow Justice League member, Wonder Woman, that Bruce can use to the same extent, though it has a very high risk of giving him a heart attack if used. Bats uses it against the Godbuster to knock it away and [[SubvertedTrope avoids having a heart attack]].
* FictionFiveHundred: Bruce Wayne is the head of Wayne Enterprises.
* MegatonPunch: The Hellbat can use one powered by Wonder Woman's strength, which has a 95% chance of giving him a heart attack. He uses such a punch to send the Godbuster flying.
* PapaWolf: Used the Hellbat Armor to engage in a one-man war against Apokolips and Darkseid: all to resurrect his deceased son Damian.
* PoweredArmor: Batman uses the Hellbat armor this time. The analysis also brings up some of his other armors, like the Final Batsuit, though only the Hellbat is used. To its credit, the hosts note that power-wise the Hellbat outclasses almost all of Tony's various armors and could likely defeat even the strongest ones like the Godbuster if given enough time, but the [[CastFromHitPoints strain it puts on Bruce]] coupled with the sheer amount of armors Tony could throw at it meant Batman would likely tap out in a prolonged fight or give Tony time to figure out a way to disable it via hacking.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Tony's wise guy. He takes this bout with a grim tone and constantly warns Tony not to push him.
* StrippedToTheBone: After Tony makes the Nano Armor self-destruct with Bruce inside, all that's left of the dark knight is his smoking skeleton.
* SuperIntelligence: Batman is a supergenius with a photographic memory and the world's greatest detective, bar none.
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Invoked. One of the first thing Bats does is try and hail Superman through communications, but Iron Man stops it via hacking, leaving the battle a one-on-one affair.
* VerbThis: When Iron Man boasts that he's got a suit for busting anything, Bats' response is succinct:
--> '''Batman:''' Bust ''[[MegatonPunch this]]''.
* WeakButSkilled: Is technically an ordinary human, but he has trained in over a 100 different martial arts and is a super genius. With his Hellbat armor he becomes StrongAndSkilled. Unfortunately, compared to Tony's wide assortment of varied armors, he was simply outclassed in versatility and technological prowess making him UnskilledButStrong in comparison.
* WorldsBestCharacter: Batman is hands-down [=DC=] universe’s greatest detective, and is also one of its most-skilled martial artists.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: Doesn't realize that Iron Man has implanted the Model 58 Nanosuit on his person since the start of the battle, until it's pointed out to him near the end, where all he can do is try and resist the inevitable.

''Peter Parker, the Spider-Man''
----
* AllWebbedUp: Spider-Man invented the web shooter cartridges that produce webbing strong enough to restrain bruisers like the Hulk. Near the end of the fight, Spider-Man then constricts Batman with webbing by hitting him with several web balls all at rapid succession, rendering him helpless for Spider-Man to finish him off by ripping his torso clean off.
* AnimalMotif: [[SarcasmMode Again, do I have to spell it out?]]
* ApologeticAttacker: Let's out a playful "Sorry about that" after killing Batman.
* BadassBookworm: Peter was a nerdy bookworm before gaining his superpowers and is capable of kicking ass on top of it as Spider-Man.
* BuildingSwing: Uses his webbing to swing across NYC. It's also how he enters his Death Battle.
* CatchAndReturn: Can use his web lines to redirect thrown weapons.
* ChickMagnet: It's outright listed in his feats that he has had more girlfriends than any other superhero.
* CompositeCharacter: He's a combination of the Mainstream (Earth-616) Spider-Man from the comics, the Spider-Men from both [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy film]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries series]], and the Spider-Men from the various animated series and video-games, all of whom are separate characters in the Marvel Multiverse.
* ConfusionFu: The Way of the Spider is a unique martial art that allows Spider-Man to utilize his SpiderSense to the fullest. Allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the most advanced masters of combat, even while blindfolded. This is one of the factors that allows him to overcome Batman in their one-to-one battle despite the latter's greater experience and 127 martial arts.
* CrazyPrepared: {{Discussed|Trope}}. The hosts mention that if they give Batman prep time, then the same would also go for Spider-Man.
* DeadpanSnarker: ''Listen'' to him during his battle with Batman; not entirely deadpan, but definitely a snarker.
* DestinationDefenestration: In their one-on-one fight, he gets knocked through a window ''into'' a tall tower by Batman, and the latter persistently tries to knock him out of another window. He eventually succeeds after a lot of hassle, but Spider-Man also pulls him down with him.
* {{Determinator}}: A trait he shares with Batman. Despite possessing superpowers, it would also require a strong will to overcome the horrors, trauma, and adversaries that come with being a superhero ''and'' remain a good man despite being a ButtMonkey.
* FantasticFightingStyle: He developed the Way of the Spider fighting style, using the SpiderSense at its full capacity.
* GadgeteerGenius: Spider-Man made his signature web-shooters, web fluid, and web cartilages on a budget.
* ImprobablyHighIQ: 250; not as bad an example of this trope as Donatello, but still pushing it.
* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: A bite from a radioactive spider turned unassuming nerd Peter Parker into a superhero.
* KryptoniteFactor: Ethyl Chloride Pesticide. Since Batman wasn't given time to research Spider-Man's attributes, he didn't have any of the poison to use on him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The ''Film/SpiderMan1'' main theme, the main theme of VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan, his theme from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and ''Saving New York'' from Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan play during his analysis.
* LightningBruiser: Spider-Man is fast, agile, very durable, and quite strong. Without Batman's gadgets, the Caped Crusader was easily overwhelmed by Peter Parker. Boomstick said that at the very least, Bats can handle Spider-Man's speed and strength, but the latter's SpiderSense prevents that.

* AnimalMotifs:
** The black panther for T'Challa, of course. He has a suit that has the appearance of a panther, is the totemic avatar of the Panther Goddess, and has abilities of a panther such as enhanced strength, agility, and senses. When he gets the drop on Batman near the end of the battle, he's even briefly shown as the image of a lunging panther.
** The bat for Bruce Wayne, of course. His Batsuit has a very bat-like design, and he's also seen with bats during the fight itself when he gets out of his batmobile and also when Black Panther confronts him in the orca enclosure.
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** Black Panther wears an all-black high-tech suit of Vibranium-laced armor but is the [[GoodIsNotSoft more-or-less benevolent]] king of an African nation.
** Bruce Wayne may spend his nights dressed in a suit of bat-themed high-tech combat armor, but he's one of the DC universe's staunchest superheroes.
--> '''Batman:''' I'll give them something to fear.
* GeniusBruiser:
** T'Challa is one of the top eight smartest people in the Marvel universe, possessing multiple degrees from some of the world's most renowned universities. He is also an even better fighter than Captain America. He can equal Bruce in both combat and mental ability, though it turns out equipment is what carries the day... equipment T'Challa has a serious edge.
** Bruce has mastered multiple martial arts and possesses a genius-level intellect and keen analytical mind to match. He proves to be T'Challa's equal in skill and mental capacity, but equipment load-out proves a fatal discrepancy.

This was a deciding factor in the fight, as while the Hellbat could match and surpass most of Tony’s armors, the strain it placed on his body meant he couldn’t keep up in a prolonged fight -- and Tony's army of suits certainly could keep him busy for a while.
* CrazyPrepared: Batman is prepared for nearly any situation and has numerous contingency plans meant to take down some of his world’s heaviest hitters. Unfortunately Tony was even more prepared than him.
* CripplingOverspecialization: A major factor in his loss is while he had numerous contingency plans, most of said plans were tailored towards specific beings, as opposed to Iron Man’s suits, with even the most specialized of his armors having the same basic arsenal. For example, the Justice Buster was meant to be his main tool in defeating the other founding members of the Justice League, and while it was well-equipped to abuse their weaknesses, its armaments could easily be countered by the vast majority of Iron Man armors.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The Hellbat's Devastator, a punch powered by the strength of fellow Justice League member, Wonder Woman, that Bruce can use to the same extent, though it has a very high risk of giving him a heart attack if used. Bats uses it against the Godbuster to knock it away and [[SubvertedTrope avoids having a heart attack]].
* FictionFiveHundred: Bruce Wayne is the head of Wayne Enterprises.
* MegatonPunch: The Hellbat can use one powered by Wonder Woman's strength, which has a 95% chance of giving him a heart attack. He uses such a punch to send the Godbuster flying.
* PapaWolf: Used the Hellbat Armor to engage in a one-man war against Apokolips and Darkseid: all to resurrect his deceased son Damian.
* PoweredArmor: Batman uses the Hellbat armor this time. The analysis also brings up some of his other armors, like the Final Batsuit, though only the Hellbat is used. To its credit, the hosts note that power-wise the Hellbat outclasses almost all of Tony's various armors and could likely defeat even the strongest ones like the Godbuster if given enough time, but the [[CastFromHitPoints strain it puts on Bruce]] coupled with the sheer amount of armors Tony could throw at it meant Batman would likely tap out in a prolonged fight or give Tony time to figure out a way to disable it via hacking.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Tony's wise guy. He takes this bout with a grim tone and constantly warns Tony not to push him.
* StrippedToTheBone: After Tony makes the Nano Armor self-destruct with Bruce inside, all that's left of the dark knight is his smoking skeleton.
* SuperIntelligence: Batman is a supergenius with a photographic memory and the world's greatest detective, bar none.
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Invoked. One of the first thing Bats does is try and hail Superman through communications, but Iron Man stops it via hacking, leaving the battle a one-on-one affair.
* VerbThis: When Iron Man boasts that he's got a suit for busting anything, Bats' response is succinct:
--> '''Batman:''' Bust ''[[MegatonPunch this]]''.
* WeakButSkilled: Is technically an ordinary human, but he has trained in over a 100 different martial arts and is a super genius. With his Hellbat armor he becomes StrongAndSkilled. Unfortunately, compared to Tony's wide assortment of varied armors, he was simply outclassed in versatility and technological prowess making him UnskilledButStrong in comparison.
* WorldsBestCharacter: Batman is hands-down [=DC=] universe’s greatest detective, and is also one of its most-skilled martial artists.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: Doesn't realize that Iron Man has implanted the Model 58 Nanosuit on his person since the start of the battle, until it's pointed out to him near the end, where all he can do is try and resist the inevitable.

----
* AllWebbedUp: Near the end of the fight, he gets restricted by the webbing after getting hit with several web balls by Spider-Man, all at rapid succession. This renders him helpless, and Spider-Man finishes him off by ripping his torso clean off.
* AnimalMotif: [[SarcasmMode Gee, I wonder what that is?]]
* BadassBookworm: Bruce has achieved 12 Master's Degrees, studied 127 martial arts, and perfected escape artistry. Boomstick says that "whoever says being a nerd is a bad thing has never met Batman".
* BadassNormal: The closest thing to a normal human in this series so far. This is a [[DeconstructedTrope bad thing]] when he's fighting an enemy that's stronger and faster than him and has an ability that neutralizes his main strengths, along with not being able to prepare beforehand per Death Battle rules.
* BatScare: Batman weaponized this trope, using sonar technology to attract bats. But this barely phased Spiderman. In several comics, Mysterio and Green Goblin also used bats or bat-robots against Spiderman in similar ways, so Spidey's probably used to it.
* BulletProofVest: His Batsuit can resist knives and gunfire.
* CapeWings: Can glide with his cape, and uses them to full effect during the FreeFallFight scene.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His strength, speed, and endurance are above Olympic level after many years of physical and martial training, allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the superhumanly strong Spider-Man and outpace the latter's SpiderSense.
* CombatPragmatist: Justified and deconstructed. In comparison to Spider-Man, he ''is'' this. Stealth, explosives, and using any trick he has up his sleeve all while preventing his opponent from having any sort of breathing room are all fair game to Batman in their one-to-one fight (except with guns of course). But considering how many of his victories over super-beings are the result of being CrazyPrepared, along with Death Battle rules preventing such a thing, and Spider-Man being a completely unknown opponent, you can hardly blame him. In the end, though, none of Batman's abilities, tools, greater combat experience, and tactics mean jack-squat against an opponent whose powers are practically tailor-made negate his main strengths.
* CompositeCharacter: He's a combination of the Mainstream (Pre-Crisis) Batman from the comics, the Batmen from the [[Series/Batman1966 1966 TV series]] and the [[Film/BatmanFilmSeries 1989 film series]] and the [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy Nolan films]], and the Batmen from the various animated series, films, and video games, all of whom are separate characters in the DC Multiverse.
* TheCowl: Watches over Gotham City from the shadows. His silhouette is enough to strike fear in the hearts of petty criminals. After Spider-Man gets onto the building where they'll fight, Batman jumps out of the shadows.
* CrazyPrepared: The hosts note that with prep time, Bruce can be prepared for pretty much anything in a fight. Wiz notes that his major victories in canon are due to months of planning and preparation that come ''before'' he throws the first punch. Unfortunately, this is averted in Death Battle due to the rules.
* DemolitionsExpert: Carries a few explosions on his utility belt. He uses one to his advantage when Spider-Man is tied up, and another after knocking him onto a car after their FreeFallFight.
* DestinationDefenestration: In their one-on-one fight, Batman knocks Spider-Man through a window ''into'' a tall tower, and the latter persistently tries to knock him out of another window. He eventually succeeds after a lot of hassle.
* {{Determinator}}: It takes an incredibly strong willpower that to overcome his adversaries and survive events that would normally cripple or kill any other person.
* EscapeArtist: He's an expert in escape artistry, and given enough time can escape the toughest traps.
* FragileSpeedster: Only in comparison to [[LightningBruiser Spider-Man]]. Despite being MadeOfIron and wearing a protective suit, Batman can still be killed by one good, clean hit from his superhumanly strong opponent, forcing him to utilize evasive tactics along with his above-Olympic-level agility and speed to give himself the edge in their one-on-one fight.
* GadgeteerGenius: Bruce had his Batsuit, Batmobiles, and other gadgets custom-made and built (with some help from others) thanks to his wealth and genius-level mind.
* GeniusBruiser: Batman has a Genius-level intellect and is listed to be a great strategist.
* GlassCannon: Batman is a good fighter, and his gadgets--despite being non-lethal--are enough for him to pummel Spider-Man like a rag-doll through the fight, despite Spider-Man's amazing strength and speed. One good hit from Spidey himself, however, is more than enough to kill Batman.
* GrapplingHookPistol: A classic device used by all incarnations of Batman.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: His torso is ripped off from the sheer force of Spider-Man's kick.
* HeroicMime: Keeps quiet during the whole fight, unlike [[DeadpanSnarker his opponent]].
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''The Batman Theme'' from the 1989 movie, the main theme for The Dark Knight Rises, and ''Main Theme from VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity play during his analysis.
* LightsOffSomebodyDies: Attempted. Batman destroys the lights in a building to ambush Spidey, but Spidey's spider-sense counters the stealth.
* LogicalWeakness: Best seen in his loss against Spider-Man.
** As Wiz points out, many of Batman's achievements (including his victory over his superhuman teammates) are rooted in his CrazyPrepared tendencies. This means that without prep time against an unknown foe, it could lead to his downfall.
** His StealthExpert methods will prove invalid against a foe with SuperSenses ''and/or'' SpiderSense.
** His usual gadgets are all specifically designed to deal with opponents ''non-lethally''[[note]]But he will lethally use them only against superhuman foes who take a lot of punishment.[[/note]], which it'll be ''less'' effective against the superhumanly strong and tough Spider-Man.
* MadeOfIron: Despite being a normal, but well-trained, human, Batman has overcome having his back broken, fighting the other Justice League members, and being ''disintegrated''. However, none of this matters against the superhumanly strong Spider-Man once the latter lands a ''very'' good and clean hit.
* ManOfTheCity: To Gotham City
* MartialPacifist: Despite showing no mercy to Spider-Man during the fight none of Batman's weapons are designed to kill. Even Batman's car bomb was not powerful enough to kill someone as superhuman as Spider-Man: who can survive lethal explosions and powerful enemies like Rhino, Hulk, or the Juggernaut.
* NervesOfSteel: Never almost let his emotions get the better of him even in the worst situation imaginable. In their one-on-one fight, Batman is as stoic as ever compared to Spider-Man.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Spiderman began the fight as his usual cocky self, which left him wide open to Batman's trick gadgets. Despite giving him a thrashing on the roof, Spidey quickly recovers and adapts to Batman's tactics.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: In contrast to his opponent, Batman forgoes TrashTalk, [[IShallTauntYou battle taunts]], or [[YouFightLikeACow any sort of banter]] and hyper-focuses entirely on their fight to kill his opponent with ''everything'' he's got. Unfortunately, Batman's greater fighting experience and martial training, pragmatism, stealth tactics, and non-lethal gadgets prove inadequate to trump Spider-Man's superhuman physiology, SpiderSense, and his own FantasticFightingStyle, the Way of the Spider. Ironically, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness early iterations]] of the Dark Knight show him just as much of a wisecrack in his fights until he's [[CharacterizationMarchesOn later written]] as TheStoic.
* OrphansOrdeal: His parents were shot by a common thug. He became a vigilante in their honor and fought against Gotham's criminal underbelly.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Got some in normal and explosive batarangs. Spiderman was able to dodge most of them due to his spider-sense.
* ShockAndAwe: His suit's taser functions but at only 200,000 volts (the minimum required voltage for standard tasers) it's not enough to kill. Spider-Man isn't bothered by it.
* SmokeOut: Carries smoke pellets in his utility belt. He manages to get the upper hand on Peter by using one.
* TheStoic: Boy as he ever; not making a single peep throughout his fight against Spider-Man.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: He may be a superhero, but the death of his parents mentally scarred him. Boomstick points out that someone who fights villains dressed as a bat alongside kid sidekicks isn't the most mentally stable.
* ThouShallNotKill: His number one rule and principle, and it's {{averted|Trope}} in the rules of Death Battle.
* UtilityBelt: One of his most iconic tools, practically every iteration of the Caped Crusader carries one.
* TheVoiceless: Says ''nothing'' during his battle in contrast to his opponent [[TrashTalk Spider-Man]], not even a pained grunt from getting hit by him.
* WeakButSkilled: Although a very strong human (bench-pressing half a ton could break some Olympic records), Batman is noticeably weaker than other superheroes as most superheroes have SuperStrength. He can outmatch Spider-Man with his knowledge of over 100 different martial arts. At the same time, Batman is not strong enough to beat Spider-Man to death and even with his body armor, Batman would have little defense against someone as strong as Spider-Man (as Batman's body armor is light enough to allow him mobility).
* VigilanteMan: After the tragic circumstance of losing his parents to a common criminal, Bruce became Batman to make sure no one else suffers the same way he did, even if he has to break the law to do so. This is one of the many traits he shares with Spider-Man.

* AllWebbedUp: Spider-Man invented the web shooter cartridges that produce webbing strong enough to restrain bruisers like the Hulk. Near the end of the fight, Spider-Man then constricts Batman with webbing by hitting him with several web balls all at rapid succession, rendering him helpless for Spider-Man to finish him off by ripping his torso clean off.
* AnimalMotif: [[SarcasmMode Again, do I have to spell it out?]]
* ApologeticAttacker: Let's out a playful "Sorry about that" after killing Batman.
* BadassBookworm: Peter was a nerdy bookworm before gaining his superpowers and is capable of kicking ass on top of it as Spider-Man.
* BuildingSwing: Uses his webbing to swing across NYC. It's also how he enters his Death Battle.
* CatchAndReturn: Can use his web lines to redirect thrown weapons.
* ChickMagnet: It's outright listed in his feats that he has had more girlfriends than any other superhero.
* CompositeCharacter: He's a combination of the Mainstream (Earth-616) Spider-Man from the comics, the Spider-Men from both [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy film]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries series]], and the Spider-Men from the various animated series and video-games, all of whom are separate characters in the Marvel Multiverse.
* ConfusionFu: The Way of the Spider is a unique martial art that allows Spider-Man to utilize his SpiderSense to the fullest. Allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the most advanced masters of combat, even while blindfolded. This is one of the factors that allows him to overcome Batman in their one-to-one battle despite the latter's greater experience and 127 martial arts.
* CrazyPrepared: {{Discussed|Trope}}. The hosts mention that if they give Batman prep time, then the same would also go for Spider-Man.
* DeadpanSnarker: ''Listen'' to him during his battle with Batman; not entirely deadpan, but definitely a snarker.
* DestinationDefenestration: In their one-on-one fight, he gets knocked through a window ''into'' a tall tower by Batman, and the latter persistently tries to knock him out of another window. He eventually succeeds after a lot of hassle, but Spider-Man also pulls him down with him.
* {{Determinator}}: A trait he shares with Batman. Despite possessing superpowers, it would also require a strong will to overcome the horrors, trauma, and adversaries that come with being a superhero ''and'' remain a good man despite being a ButtMonkey.
* FantasticFightingStyle: He developed the Way of the Spider fighting style, using the SpiderSense at its full capacity.
* GadgeteerGenius: Spider-Man made his signature web-shooters, web fluid, and web cartilages on a budget.
* ImprobablyHighIQ: 250; not as bad an example of this trope as Donatello, but still pushing it.
* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate: A bite from a radioactive spider turned unassuming nerd Peter Parker into a superhero.
* KryptoniteFactor: Ethyl Chloride Pesticide. Since Batman wasn't given time to research Spider-Man's attributes, he didn't have any of the poison to use on him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: The ''Film/SpiderMan1'' main theme, the main theme of VideoGame/TheAmazingSpiderMan, his theme from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and ''Saving New York'' from Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan play during his analysis.
* LightningBruiser: Spider-Man is fast, agile, very durable, and quite strong. Without Batman's gadgets, the Caped Crusader was easily overwhelmed by Peter Parker. Boomstick said that at the very least, Bats can handle Spider-Man's speed and strength, but the latter's SpiderSense prevents that.
* ManOfKryptonite: The combination of his SpiderSense and the [[FantasticFightingStyle Way of the Spider]] makes Spider-Man nearly untouchable in combat and counter against other experienced and skilled martial artists, making him a bad match-up against Batman's main strengths.
* ManOfTheCity: To New York City.
* NervesOfSteel: Keeps a talkative and joking persona in the most stressful situations as Spider-Man. In their one-on-one fight, Spider-Man is ''unfazed'' by the Dark Knight's intimidating appearance and is pretty much the only one quipping.
* PrimaryColorChampion: His costume is largely red and blue.
* ProjectileWebbing: Spider-Man's web-shooters allow him to shoot out his webbing as projectiles.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: How he made his physical contact against Batman at the start of the fight.
* ReallyGetsAround: Even a bigger ladies' man than Batman himself. One of his listed feats during his analysis is having more girlfriends than any other superhero.
* {{Revenge}}: PlayedForLaughs, he was once rejected by Batman from joining the Justice League. Boomstick jokes that he probably wishes he could fight him to the death in revenge.
* SpiderSense: Its warnings make it difficult for Batman to land a blow. True to the comics, it isn't always active and Spidey is tricked a few times even when it does activate, but still, it is key to his victory since it counteracts Batman's stealth tactics and projectiles. This forces Batman to resort to fighting in close combat, where the superhuman Spidey soon overpowers him.
* SuperSpeed: Can dodge automatic fire thanks to both his Spider-Sense and speed. He is sometimes depicted as running about 200mph. Boomstick claims that Batman could find ways to counter Spider-Man's speed, but Spidey's agility made it difficult for Batman to win a fair fight.
* SuperStrength: Spider-Man can lift 10 tons, lift a tank, and knock a dinosaur out with a single punch. This is 20 times stronger than Batman. Batman's body armor could not survive the amount of damage Spidey could dish out. Spidey ended the fight by slingshotting himself into Batman with enough force and strength to rip off Batman's limbs, instantly killing him.
* SuperToughness: Spider-Man easily outlasts Batman, as Spiderman has survived superhuman blows in the past even though he is unarmored. He's been hit by cars and trains multiple times and had pumpkin bomb grenades blown up in his face, yet can continue a fight as if nothing happened. Batman's non-lethal gadgets and combat skills couldn't kill Spidey fast enough to guarantee a victory.
* TaughtByExperience: In the post-fight breakdown, it’s noted that one of the reasons for his victory is that his ArchEnemy the Green Goblin uses many of Batman’s tricks.
* ThouShallNotKill: Like Batman, he also adheres to this principle, but it's also {{averted|Trope}} in the rules of Death Battle.
* TrashTalk: Peter tends to run his mouth at opponents. For example- "You got a black belt in ''stupid'' if you think you're gonna beat me!"
* VictoryByEndurance: Besides ManOfKryptonite, Spider-Man is also able to outlast and exhaust Batman of whatever tricks he has up his sleeves.
* VigilanteMan: One of the many traits he shares with Batman. Initially, Peter became Spider-Man as a way to earn money and feel validated after spending years as a bullied nerd with no friends. After the tragic circumstance of losing his Uncle Ben that involves him indirectly, Spider-Man atones by helping ordinary citizens and takes on threats that regular cops and the law can't handle.
* WallCrawl: Crawling up walls and buildings is one of his spider-like abilities.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Uses his webs to bring Bruce in close several times.

''The Dark Knight''

* TheAce: In addition to his martial arts training, he has mastered [[EscapeArtist escape artistry]], [[MasterSwordsman swordfighting]], [[GreatDetective detective skills]], [[StealthExpert stealth]], has a PhotographicMemory, earned 12 Master's degrees, [[ImprobableAimingSkills is an expert marksman]], and has vast knowledge on how to exploit pressure points.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: In-universe. Boomstick repeatedly doubts he's merely a ludicrously strong and skilled man, and Wiz's best justification for his feats is that he might as well have been exposed to gamma rays a la the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]].
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Bruce's suit is based on a bat to make criminals feel the same fear he feels for the animal.
* BackFromTheDead: The first defeated combatant to make a return. Also the first previously defeated opponent to return with a win.
* BadassNormal: He doesn't have any superpowers, and while he trained to achieve [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower Charles Atlas Superpowers]], underneath the suit he can be taken down by a bullet like any mortal man.
* BattleBoomerang: With his super-sharp Batarangs.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: With enough training, Batman was able to master every martial art known to man. Boomstick repeatedly questions whether or not Batman really isn't superhuman. Wiz points out that in the Bat's line of work he could easily have stumbled upon mutating gamma rays or something of that nature.
* CombatPragmatist: His forte, as usual, in this battle he attacks from all blind spots, exploits pressure points, and Steals Cap's shield, and uses it against him.
* CompositeCharacter: Uses more or less the same information granted from his fight with Spider-Man, as well as additional information from Screwattack adding in more research to their analysis, such as the Shock Gloves from VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: After his parents were murdered, he vowed to [[WeHelptheHelpless protect the citizens of Gotham City]].
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The first thing we see of him as he enters the battlefield.
* GrapplingHookPistol: The Batclaw, used to snap Captain America's neck.
* HeroicMime: Much like his previous Death Battle, he doesn't say a single thing; unlike his opponent.
* InnateNightVision: His cowl contains gear that has night, infrared, and ultraviolet vision, as well as a triangulation imaging system that can create a 3D map of the world just by hacking into every cell phone on Earth.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Molossus'' from Film/BatmanBegins, ''Main Theme'' from WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries, ''Attack of the Batwing'' from Film/Batman1989, ''The Dark Knight Triumphant / End titles'' from WesternAnimation/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns, and ''Dark Knight'' from Film/TheDarkKnight play during his analysis.
* MadeOfIron: To superhuman levels, he has withstood the vacuum of space for 24 seconds, and being buried 6 feet under in a coffin stuffed in a straight jacket deprived of sleep for days with Joker's latest venom toxin ''and'' a cocktail of hindering drugs in his system. Boomstick wonders aloud if he's even human at all because of this feat.
* NeckSnap: With his grappling hook, he wraps around Cap's neck, tethers it around a streetlamp and... this trope.
* NonFatalExplosions: His explosive gel doesn't fatally harm foes, it can only stun them. This is enough to catch Captain America off guard and let Batman go in for the kill.
* PressurePoint: More knowledgeable in this than Cap. This helps him at the end, rendering Cap helpless.
* ShockAndAwe: His Shock Gloves, which are significantly deadlier than his suits' taser function, capable of puncturing kevlar and stopping ''Bane's'' heart. They don't do much in the fight due to Cap's shield having no conductivity and Cap's own resistance to shock, nullifying the gloves.
* SmokeOut: Carries around several smoke pellets to supplement his stealth skills. He uses this to set up an ambush against Cap, as while he could "see faster" than Batman, this won't let him see through thick smoke.
* StealthExpert: He could disappear and reappear in an instant thanks to his mastery of stealth and the various gadgets he carries around his utility belt. This helps net him the win in the end. Since Batman is capable of hiding from the likes of Superman, there's no reason why he couldn't do the same against Cap.
* StoneWall: Slightly demonstrated with Batman's Batsuit. Captain America's strength is significantly lower than Spiderman's, so Batman was able to endure this fight long enough to discover Cap's weaknesses and adapt to the battle. Also, the Captain wore relatively lighter armor, meaning without his shield Batman had a slight advantage in endurance.
* StuffBlowingUp: Explosive Gel.
* SuperReflexes: Shown dodging a bullet and can dodge Darkseid's Omega Beams. This enables him to react and dodge nearly every one of Captain Amercia's attacks, giving Batman enough breathing time to think up a plan.
* SuperSenses: Batman uses gadgets in his cowl to give him sonar vision, radios, superhearing and other traits that increase his effectiveness in stealth, detection and ambush. It's a clear advantage over Cap, whose senses are not as extreme.
* TheStrategist: Batman is clearly more intelligent than Captain America in both tactics and knowledge, even if Cap is an effective commander. Batman was able to conclude that Cap's shield was too much of a threat, so Batman gained an advantage in the match by disarming and stealing the shield. He also confused and ambushed America by using his gadgets and stealth.
* TerrorHero: He uses The thugs of Gotham City to start shaking in fear the moment they see his silhouette.
* WeakButSkilled: Batman is slightly physically slower and weaker than Cap but has a slight edge in skill, MASTERING all the martial art skills that he knows.
* UnexplainedRecovery: The episode makes no references to the results of Batman's previous match. He just appears from the shadows to battle Cap, as good as new. Since these battles are just a dramatization based on the research, one can say that the characters aren't actually fighting, and therefore no one's actually dying. Also, according to Max of Few Trades who is one of the members of the research team, this episode was planned out ''before'' Batman Vs Spider-man and was kept in reserve just for such an occasion as the hard drive failure that pushed back Godzilla Vs Gamera.
* UtilityBelt: It's where he keeps his gadgets, and seems to have everything he would need in a fight.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: The "blade" being his ''shield'', which can cut ''through adamantium''.
* BadassNormal: That Super Serum increased his abilities beyond the maximum potential for humans, but he is still susceptible to guns and knives like any human man.
* BlindedByTheLight: When Batman tosses a shield covered in explosive gel, the resulting detonation blinds Cap, leaving him off-guard to Batman.
* TheCameo: In ''The Flash vs. Quicksilver.'' Also makes an appearance in ''Deadpool vs. Pinkie Pie'', where Deadpool poses as Batman and knocks him out with his shield. Then cameos again during Black Widow's rundown in ''Black Widow vs. Widowmaker''.

* CompositeCharacter: Clips of his tv, cartoon, film, video game and comic book incarnations are used together in his bio.
* DrugsAreBad: He defeated a group of villains called the Drug Lords, who were personifications of typical street drugs.
* EagleLand: When his analysis mentions Steve Rogers becoming Captain America, Cap's picture gets superimposed images of fireworks, guns, and a flying eagle while Boomstick shouts "'MERICA!"
* FinishingMove: The Captain attempted his Hyper Charging Star attack famously used in his Capcom videogames, but Batman used a smoke bomb and grappling hook to escape the attack.
* FragileSpeedster: To some degree when compared to Batman. Cap can run almost 50mph yet his body armor is either very light or entirely non-existent compared to Batman's bullet-resistant armor. Because of this, Cap needs to use his shield to block attacks.
* GeniusBruiser: Intelligent, and can kick ass. He is skilled at every form of hand-to-hand combat known to man.
* GeekPhysiques: Before his super-steroids, Cap was a frail, short and sickly man. He had an encyclopedia of illnesses and potential vulnerability for most diseases. Most [=WW2=]-era facilities refused to accept him because of his frailty.
* GroinAttack: Shown in his analysis to have given one to the Hulk, which impresses Boomstick for the sheer ballsiness of it.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Anyone unfortunate to be torso-shot by his shield, including Cap himself.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Batman tricks Captain America by spraying explosive jell on his shield. Cap expects the shield to ricochet or boomerang back to him, allowing Batman to throw the shield right at his feet without him immediately realizing the trap. After this Batman steals the shield, making Cap defenseless. Finally, he cuts America in half with the shield for good measure.
* HumanPopsicle: Cap fell into the Arctic Ocean and was frozen from the end of World War II until the modern-day (the exact date depending on when the comic or movie was created).
* {{Hypocrite}}: In his rundown, the hosts lampshade that Cap promotes anti-drug use even though drugs are "the entire reason he became awesome".
* ImmigrantParents: His parents were Irish immigrants.
* JumpedAtTheCall: During World War II, he tried multiple times to enlist in the army, and was rejected each time until he signed up for Project: Rebirth.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Captain America'', ''Training the Supersoldier'', ''Star Spangled Man'', ''Captain America March'', ''Invader's Montage'' and ''Triumphant Return'' from Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger, ''Captain America's Theme'' from VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 and ''Lemurian Star'' from Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier play during his analysis.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His iconic Vibranium shield is a cornerstone of his fighting style, nearly indestructible, and can be thrown around like a boomerang. In the battle itself, this gave Cap the upper hand during the first half of the fight since Batman couldn't brute force his way past the shield until Batman used his mastery of stealth and trickery to disarm him.
* McNinja: Boomstick classifies him as such because he knows ninjitsu.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He was born in 1920. After being frozen alive, he still looks like he's in his late 20s.
* PressurePoint: Not as knowledgeable as Batman in this regard, but is still quite skilled in it. His inexperience compared to Bats renders him unable to counter Batman's own pressure point attacks.
* ShieldBash: Commonly performs whacks, tackles, and punches with his shield as part of his fighting style.
* SicklyChildGrewUpStrong: He was a skinny kid who aspired to fight for his country, but he was deemed unfit for service due to his weak build and multiple health problems. However, he was chosen for the US government's Project: Rebirth, a project in which he would be a test subject a super-soldier serum that would increase Steve's strength to beyond the pinnacle of human performance. The serum was a success, and he became one of America's strongest warrior.
* StoneWall: With his indestructible shield, Captain America has been able to survive many deadly opponents. Even Batman's endless variety of gadgets made it impossible to get through Cap's defense through brute force. But Batman's stealth and disarming skills allowed him to steal Cap's shield. With Cap wearing, at best, light Kevlar he couldn't survive Batman's stealth ambushes and plastic explosives.
* SuperSenses: Not to the extent as Spider-Man, but can pick up on sounds, smells, and sights far greater than the average human. This was an important point in the fight, Steve's senses aren't as worthy as the spider-sense, compare with Batman, who can sneak around Superman.
* SuperSerum: Steve was injected by one created by the US Government to make him one of their best soldiers against Nazi Germany.
* SuperSoldier: He was created as one to counter the Nazi threat in the 1940s.
* SuperSpeed: Steve can run a mile in 73 seconds, over three times faster than mile run record holder [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hicham_El_Guerrouj Hicham Guerrouj]].
* SuperStrength: He can lift 1100 pounds, twice as much as 2013's bench pressing record holder [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Spoto Eric Spoto]].
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: Frequently throws his razor-sharp shield to and fro throughout his battles. Subverted in the fight itself where throwing away his shield is actually what costs Cap his victory.
* UnbreakableWeapons: It's mentioned in the analysis that Cap's shield has only been broken by cosmic beings or {{Reality Warper}}s. Otherwise, it is impressive enough for Superman (the guy who can survive supernova explosions) to praise it and want one of his own. It even stopped the godly hammer of Mjolnir.
* UnskilledButStrong: To some degree against Batman. Captain America is slightly stronger and twice as fast as Batman but Batman has slightly superior skills and tactics than Cap.

[[folder:Black Panther VS Batman]]
* AnimalMotifs:
** The black panther for T'Challa, of course. He has a suit that has the appearance of a panther, is the totemic avatar of the Panther Goddess, and has abilities of a panther such as enhanced strength, agility, and senses. When he gets the drop on Batman near the end of the battle, he's even briefly shown as the image of a lunging panther.
** The bat for Bruce Wayne, of course. His Batsuit has a very bat-like design, and he's also seen with bats during the fight itself when he gets out of his batmobile and also when Black Panther confronts him in the orca enclosure.
* DarkIsNotEvil:
** Black Panther wears an all-black high-tech suit of Vibranium-laced armor but is the [[GoodIsNotSoft more-or-less benevolent]] king of an African nation.
** Bruce Wayne may spend his nights dressed in a suit of bat-themed high-tech combat armor, but he's one of the DC universe's staunchest superheroes.
--> '''Batman:''' I'll give them something to fear.
* GeniusBruiser:
** T'Challa is one of the top eight smartest people in the Marvel universe, possessing multiple degrees from some of the world's most renowned universities. He is also an even better fighter than Captain America. He can equal Bruce in both combat and mental ability, though it turns out equipment is what carries the day... equipment T'Challa has a serious edge.
** Bruce has mastered multiple martial arts and possesses a genius-level intellect and keen analytical mind to match. He proves to be T'Challa's equal in skill and mental capacity, but equipment load-out proves a fatal discrepancy.

''Marvel's Royal Warrior Scientist''

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: The claws on his suit are made of Antarctic Vibranium, a.k.a. ''Anti-Metal'', and can easily slash through anything -- especially other metals -- bar Wakandan Vibranium. As previously shown in ''Raiden vs. Wolverine'', Antarctic Vibranium can even weaken Adamantium's molecular bonds. Batman's armor, while tough, was no match for that type of cutting power.
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: To be crowned king, the first step of his initiation rite of passage was to beat down six powerful and trained opponents. He passed that with flying colors.
* AntiArmor: The Panther Habit's Panther Claws are made of Antarctic Vibranium and are especially able to weaken the molecular bonds of other metals, even Adamantium. Batman's Batsuit stood no chance once the claws came out.
* BadassBoast: Gives one which acts as a PreAssKickingOneLiner, a PreMortemOneLiner, and a BondOneLiner, seeing as he says this while killing Batman:
--> '''Black Panther''': The strong shall hunt the weak -- that is the law of nature! And my rule is law.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: T'Challa was a genius and a seasoned warrior even before he acquired mild superhuman strength, durability, agility, and senses by eating the Heart-Shaped Herb; and he is the totemic avatar of the Panther Goddess Bast.
* FedToTheBeast: During the encounter in the orca enclosure, Batman ''attempts'' to do this to him by blowing up the walkway, but he avoids this fate by [[SteppingStonesInTheSky jumping off the falling debris]]. Later on, he pulls this off on Batman's decapitated body by kicking it into the orca pool, where one indeed eats Bruce.
* GoingToGiveItMoreEnergy: The major weakness of the vibranium-laced Black Habit is that it can only absorb and nullify so much kinetic energy at a time, and it tends to explode when given too much, leaving T'Challa vulnerable. Luckily for Black Panther, Batman didn't have any gadgets capable of such a feat before T'Challa could land the necessary killing blows.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Anyone wanting to invade Wakanda, as Boomstick learned as he was greeted with a scene from ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' of numerous dead Skrull bodies with a warning written in blood about what would happen to those who invaded Wakanda.
* HopelessBossFight: Ultimately, without any tool, weapon, or gadget to counter Black Panther's Vibranium armor along with no notable weakness for him to exploit, Batman's fight against the King of Wakanda is not a matter of "if Batman could win?" but "''how long can Batman last?''".
* ImmuneToBullets: His suit isn't just bulletproof; it stops the bullets in place and makes them immediately fall to the ground.
* LightningBruiser: While T'Challa isn't the strongest, fastest, or toughest superhero in the Marvel Universe, he's still stronger, faster, and tougher than a normal human; and possesses superhuman senses, intensive combat experience, and vibranium-laced armor that make up for his shortcomings. While Batman has defeated opponents as strong, fast, and tough as T'Challa, the vibranium-laced Panther Habit gave him an insurmountable advantage.
* MasterOfAll: It's essentially why he beat Batman. As the hosts all but stated, he's basically Batman with superpowers, and if he wore a suit that's MadeOfIndestructium, and used claws that can ''cut through'' Indestructium.
* NighInvulnerability: The Panther Habit is virtually impervious to damage thanks to Vibranium nullifying kinetic energy, though it can be overwhelmed ([[GoingToGiveItMoreEnergy explosively]]) should it absorb too much energy at once. Despite all of Batman's gadgets over his lengthy crimefighting career, he's never utilized anything that could bypass the Habit, and without any weak points to exploit, Batman just couldn't reliably kill him.
* OffWithHisHead: Inflicts this on Batman via {{Shoryuken}}.
* PantheraAwesome: T'Challa's Panther Habit is themed after Wakanda's patron deity, the Panther Goddess -- aka [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Bast]] -- and as the Black Panther T'Challa acts as her totemic avatar.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's usually on the front lines of battle for his kingdom and the world.
--> '''Black Panther:''' To challenge a king is to face the might of his people!
* {{Shoryuken}}: Uses one to knock out a rhino and uses another to slice Bruce's head off.
* SteppingStonesInTheSky: When Batman breaks the bridge under him in an attempt to feed him to the orcas, he jumps across the debris as it's still falling to get to where Batman is and takes him by surprise.
* StrongAndSkilled: T'Challa had to beat several skilled warriors to earn his title and abilities (and is expected to do the same thing every year just to show he's still got it).
* SuperReflexes: While consuming the Heart-Shaped Herb and becoming Bast's avatar granted T'Challa's physical and sensory augmentations across the board, one of his greatest assets in combat is his enhanced kinesthetic awareness. While it certainly helped him in the fight, Batman's experience with fighting other superpowered opponents allowed him to keep up the pace.
* {{Vibroweapon}}: While not explicitly mentioned by the hosts, two of the comic panels[[labelnote:note]][[CallBack Longtime Death Battle viewers may remember them as the panels which proved that Wolverine's Adamantium bones were vulnerable to vibrating weaponry]][[/labelnote]] shown when explaining the Panther Habit's claws mentions that Antarctic Vibranium, which the Habit's claws are made of, emits a vibration that breaks down the molecular bonds of any other metals that it comes into contact with, up to and including Adamantium. Suffice it to say, Batman's armor put up minimal resistance against something that powerful.
* WeaksauceWeakness: The lack of this played into his victory. Batman has often exploited specific weaknesses to defeat physically superior foes like cutting off Bane's Venom supply, but Black Panther has nothing for him to take advantage of.

''The Genius Crime-Fighter from DC Comics''

* AttackItsWeakPoint: The hosts explain that Batman has often beaten tougher foes by abusing this trope, like preventing Bane from getting a supply of Venom. However, Black Panther had nothing he could exploit in the same manner given his default loadout.
* BadassNormal: He's the only founding member of the Justice League to not have any superpowers at all. By all accounts, all he's done is train and study enough to the point where he's massively tougher and smarter than the average human even though he is still one by the end of the day. Experience fighting superpowered villains allowed him to keep pace with Black Panther for a while.
* BatmanGambit: He's able to get people to do what he wants by making them think it was their own decision. During the fight, he goads Black Panther into walking over a bomb that would destroy the bridge he's on and fall to his death. However, T'Challa quickly recovered, fatally punishing Bats' mistake.
--> '''Batman:''' (*after trapping Black Panther*) [[BondOneLiner Amateur.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: As discussed in his previous appearances, Batman is a master martial artist and is in peak physical and mental condition -- the trauma of losing his parents at a young age notwithstanding. Unfortunately for him, this simply isn't enough to overcome the Panther Habit.
* CompositeCharacter: As various Bat-related media had come out since Batman's last appearance in Season 2, including ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and the New 52 Movie Universe starting with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'', they were incorporated into Batman's character.
* CrazyPrepared: He's gained a reputation both in-universe and out for having a trick up his sleeve to get out of nearly any problem. Bats basically boast about it in front of Black Panther's face. Unfortunately, Vibranium armor proved to be something he ''wasn't'' ready for.
--> '''Black Panther:''' Prepare yourself.
--> '''Batman:''' I'm prepared for ''anything''.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: After being slashed open, Bruce is decapitated while a whale eats up his headless corpse.
* CurbStompCushion: Batman's loss is inevitable due to Black Panther being [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter his equal in martial arts and combat experience, on top of having superpowers, better equipment, greater resources, and no exploitable weaknesses]]. Yet, he still gives T'Challa one hell of a fight despite the Vibranium armor ensuring [[NoSell zero damage]] to the latter.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Due to a gun being what killed his family, Bruce has a pathological hatred of them. This is what really bites him in the ass -- Boomstick and Wiz searched high and low for a weapon Batman could have used to overwhelm Black Panther's Vibranium armor and found that he didn't have any. As well, any usage of guns was right out because of this hatred.
* FedToTheBeast: During the encounter in the orca enclosure, he attempts to do this to Black Panther by blowing up the walkway to make him fall in, but T'challa avoids this by [[SteppingStonesInTheSky jumping off the falling debris to get to the high ground]]. Later on, this fate befalls his decapitated body after T'Challa kicks it in, where an orca indeed eats him.
* IdleRich: Bruce Wayne in the public eye is just the face of Wayne Industries. This is used to contrast with T'Challa's very-busy-king image.
* LightningBruiser: He's strong and fast enough to take down rooms full of mooks ranging from thugs to ninjas to mercenaries, and his body armor enables him to tank hits from the likes of Bane. However, while he's defeated opponents as strong, fast, and tough as T'Challa, he's simply not equipped to bypass the nearly indestructible Panther Habit, and his armor is no match for the Habit's Antarctic Vibranium claws.
* {{Ninja}}: Bruce Wayne trained in ninjutsu, and Batman uses that training to great effect in taking out criminals.
* OffWithHisHead: On the receiving end by Black Panther.
* StealthExpert: Bruce trained in ninjutsu and specializes in using the shadows in conjunction with his dark costume to catch enemies off guard.
* StealthHiBye: He's a master of disappearing as soon as you take your eyes off him. Even Superman doesn't know how he does it.
* ThouShaltNotKill: He usually will never kill anyone, even someone like the Joker. The sole exception is Darkseid. He also refuses to carry a gun or any type of firearm because he knows how unstable he can be and refuses to take the chance. This is his undoing because none of his gadgets had the power to damage Black Panther's Vibranium-laced armor. Though Batman ''could'' have possibly created a gun-like gadget to get around this, he never would have taken this option, thus leaving him with no way to defeat Black Panther.

* BadassNormal: No powers, just two men who are solely relying on their advanced technology and wits to contend with godly beings.
* CrimefightingWithCash: Their wealth is quite useful in funding their respective crusades against villains.
* PoweredArmor: Both wear highly protective, high tech armors with plenty of integrated gadgets and machinery to aid them in their fights against supervillains. Their most powerful armors have allowed them to fight toe-to-toe with gods and come out on top.
* ProperlyParanoid: Both are very cautious with anything or anyone that could be a threat, resulting in them [[CrazyPrepared planning and developing plenty of contingencies and countermeasures]] just in case anything happens.
* RichGenius: Both have a lot of wealth to throw at and the smarts to run successful enterprises, create and afford for nifty gadgets and gizmos, and operate as A-List superheroes and figureheads.
* TookALevelInBadass: Both are granted access to the most powerful set of armor they can get their hands on for this battle, which put them in the same league as universal-level entities like Darkseid and the Celestials.

* BackForTheDead: Returns for a fourth time after being defeated by Black Panther in Season 5... only to die at the end once again at the hands of Iron Man.
* CastFromHitPoints: The main flaw of Batman’s Hellbat armor was that it fed on his own metabolism and several of it’s features put a strain on his body. This was a deciding factor in the fight, as while the Hellbat could match and surpass most of Tony’s armors, the strain it placed on his body meant he couldn’t keep up in a prolonged fight -- and Tony's army of suits certainly could keep him busy for a while.
* CrazyPrepared: Batman is prepared for nearly any situation and has numerous contingency plans meant to take down some of his world’s heaviest hitters. Unfortunately Tony was even more prepared than him.
* CripplingOverspecialization: A major factor in his loss is while he had numerous contingency plans, most of said plans were tailored towards specific beings, as opposed to Iron Man’s suits, with even the most specialized of his armors having the same basic arsenal. For example, the Justice Buster was meant to be his main tool in defeating the other founding members of the Justice League, and while it was well-equipped to abuse their weaknesses, its armaments could easily be countered by the vast majority of Iron Man armors.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The Hellbat's Devastator, a punch powered by the strength of fellow Justice League member, Wonder Woman, that Bruce can use to the same extent, though it has a very high risk of giving him a heart attack if used. Bats uses it against the Godbuster to knock it away and [[SubvertedTrope avoids having a heart attack]].
* FictionFiveHundred: Bruce Wayne is the head of Wayne Enterprises.
* MegatonPunch: The Hellbat can use one powered by Wonder Woman's strength, which has a 95% chance of giving him a heart attack. He uses such a punch to send the Godbuster flying.
* PapaWolf: Used the Hellbat Armor to engage in a one-man war against Apokolips and Darkseid: all to resurrect his deceased son Damian.
* PoweredArmor: Batman uses the Hellbat armor this time. The analysis also brings up some of his other armors, like the Final Batsuit, though only the Hellbat is used. To its credit, the hosts note that power-wise the Hellbat outclasses almost all of Tony's various armors and could likely defeat even the strongest ones like the Godbuster if given enough time, but the [[CastFromHitPoints strain it puts on Bruce]] coupled with the sheer amount of armors Tony could throw at it meant Batman would likely tap out in a prolonged fight or give Tony time to figure out a way to disable it via hacking.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The straight man to Tony's wise guy. He takes this bout with a grim tone and constantly warns Tony not to push him.
* StrippedToTheBone: After Tony makes the Nano Armor self-destruct with Bruce inside, all that's left of the dark knight is his smoking skeleton.
* SuperIntelligence: Batman is a supergenius with a photographic memory and the world's greatest detective, bar none.
* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Invoked. One of the first thing Bats does is try and hail Superman through communications, but Iron Man stops it via hacking, leaving the battle a one-on-one affair.
* VerbThis: When Iron Man boasts that he's got a suit for busting anything, Bats' response is succinct:
--> '''Batman:''' Bust ''[[MegatonPunch this]]''.
* WeakButSkilled: Is technically an ordinary human, but he has trained in over a 100 different martial arts and is a super genius. With his Hellbat armor he becomes StrongAndSkilled. Unfortunately, compared to Tony's wide assortment of varied armors, he was simply outclassed in versatility and technological prowess making him UnskilledButStrong in comparison.
* WorldsBestCharacter: Batman is hands-down [=DC=] universe’s greatest detective, and is also one of its most-skilled martial artists.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: Doesn't realize that Iron Man has implanted the Model 58 Nanosuit on his person since the start of the battle, until it's pointed out to him near the end, where all he can do is try and resist the inevitable.

* ActuallyADoombot: Thanks to the fact that he can pilot his many varieties of armors remotely means that even if one of them was scrapped, he would still be safe. The first armor he used was piloted this way.
* TheAtoner: After getting caught in an explosion from one of the bombs he created and sold along with being held by terrorist, Tony decided to make amends by ending his weapon manufacturing and building a more powerful armor suit to protect others.
* CrazyPrepared: Like Bruce, Tony has made many different sets of armor for every scenario, such as the Hulkbuster to combat the Hulk, or the Godbuster of which an earlier model was able to go up against Celestials. Tony had far more ways of ending the fight than Batman as a result. This was even shown in the fight animation -- a FreezeFrameBonus reveals that he started hacking the Hellbat even before he encountered it, allowing him to disable it later on, and even earlier implanted the Mark 58 Nano Armor into Bruce from a simple NeckLift, allowing him to turn the fight around when Bruce had him on the ropes.
-->'''Iron Man:''' (inside the Godbuster and alongside the Iron Legion) I've got a suit for everything, Bats! [[BadassBoast Including busting wannabe gods like you!]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Like the last time he fought, Tony makes tons of snarky comments throughout the match.
* EnergyAbsorption: Some of Tony's suits can do this, such as his Mark 50 Endo-Sym armor. According to the hosts' post-analysis, this was one of the ways Tony could defeat Batman, by draining the Hellbat suit until either it ran out of power or drained all of Batman's metabolism.
* FictionFiveHundred: Tony Stark is the head of a multi-billionaire tech company.
* {{Flight}}: One of the standard features of all Iron Man suits is supersonic flight.
* FriendlyEnemy: At the start of the fight Tony was jovial, if cocky, and only started fighting in self-defense.
* HackYourEnemy: Tony has F.R.I.D.A.Y hack the Hellbat armor, leaving it open to be hit by a blast from Sol's Hammer.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: After killing Bruce, Tony asks [=F.R.I.D.A.Y.=] for a drink.
--> '''Iron Man:''' [=F.R.I.D.A.Y.=], I could ''really'' use a drink.
* {{Intangibility}}: Using Ghost Tech, Tony can do this to bypass Batman's physical defenses.
* KillSat: Tony created Sol's Hammer, a space laser powered by an incomplete Dyson Sphere, which is capable of blowing up a planet at only 2% power. He fires it directly onto himself to take out the Hellbat, and it works, although it causes Tony's Virtual Armor to run out of energy.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Whereas most vocal tracks for the fight animation are meant to represent both combatants, "Suit Yourself" more accurately fits Tony more than Bruce, as it's a hard rock song akin to the Music/{{ACDC}} and Music/BlackSabbath songs that are associated more with Iron Man's MCU incarnation, with lyrics sung from his point of view that are part-BadassBoast talking about how great he is, while also doubling as TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards Bruce for being self-righteous.
* OneManArmy: He can summon all of his Iron Man suits to battle alongside him, making him a literal one-man army.
* PoweredArmor: After being badly wounded by one of his own weapons and captured by terrorists, Iron Man built a suit of powered armor to escape. After doing so, he decided to become a superhero and improved on the suit dozens -- if not hundreds -- of times over the years.
* SelfDestructMechanism: Some of his suits have this. Tony's finishing move weaponizes it by trapping Batman in the Nano Armor and having it self-destruct, reducing Bruce to nothing but [[StrippedToTheBone a charred skeleton.]]
--> '''Iron Man:''' Model 58, the Nano Armor. Snuck it into your body back in the Watchtower. [[PreMortemOneLiner F.R.I.D.A.Y, initiate self-destruct.]]
* SkewedPriorities: In the aftermath of the fight, all of Tony's armors are destroyed, a huge portion of the city is destroyed, and his arm is broken and bleeding thanks to Batman. His first priority is to [[INeedAFreakingDrink ask F.R.I.D.A.Y. to get him a drink]].
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: The wise guy to Bruce's straight man. He's prone to CasualDangerDialogue and cracking jokes while trying to blast Batman's face off.
* StrongAndSkilled: Despite being an ordinary human, Tony's armors all give him superhuman abilities, and he's built dozens for nearly every purpose over the years. While he is WeakButSkilled compared to Batman's Hellbat armor, the sheer number of suits he's created meant he had a counter for everything Batman could throw at him.
* SuperIntelligence: Tony built his first suit in a cave with a box of scraps. With actual resources, he's casually discovered time travel, built an (incomplete) Dyson sphere, and created an entire virtual universe (which he made into armor).
* SuperStrength: A standard feature of all his armors. An outdated suit once destroyed a piece of rock as big as Manhattan.
* SwissArmyWeapon: A major advantage that Tony had over Batman was that even the most specialized of his armors, such as his Hulkbuster and Godbuster armor, had abilities that were shared between all of them whereas most of Bruce's suits were only useful against the opponents they're meant for.
* VictoryByEndurance: The hosts note that while it was unlikely any of Tony's suits could overpower the Hellbat armor in a straight-up fight, the sheer number of them coupled with the comparable power of some of his strongest like the Godbuster could definitely keep Bruce busy until Tony either figured out a workaround or Bruce's own body gives out from the strain of using the Hellbat
* VirtualSidekick: Tony’s armor contains the [[ArtificialIntelligence A.I. F.R.I.D.A.Y.]], who helps manage his suits’ functions, hack into enemy technology, can remotely operate other suits, and can [[SuperReflexes react within a picosecond]] (a trillionth of a second).
* WealthyPhilanthropist: Tony Stark once called himself a "genius, billionaire playboy philanthropist".

For the longest matchup, Batman has been used in many battles against heroes of similar [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent equivalent]]. This is such a debated topic that WebAnimation/DeathBattle not only pits Batman against one opponent but more times than not with significant updates in feats. It eventually evolved from an SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome to making Batman something of TheWorfEffect and {{Jobber}}.

Batman has so far lost three times and won one time and both Wiz and Boomstick conclude that Batman's losses are more to do with his skill set, lack of preparation, or his opponent just being better at what he does and more before the fight in setting and story: Batman's story casts him as a BadassNormal who [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower pushes past his limits to be the best of the human condition]], a GadgeteerGenius with [[CrimefightingWithCash an endless supply of wealth]], and [[TheChessmaster a master strategist]] [[CrazyPrepared with a plan that always let him win]], even against superhuman opponents. But sometimes, it's not often a guarantee that'll give him an edge or victory in a one-on-one fight.
