A lot of people ask "where's the Bane fight?" But to me, the first Bane battle, while it is an iconic moment, it's not an iconic Batman fight. It's Bane having his way with an injured, exhausted Batman who can barely stand up, much less defend himself against his most powerful adversary. Instead, I would list the climactic Az-Bats v. Bane battle, which is technically a Batman fight, since Azael was Batman at the time. Az uses tactics, technology, and pure unadulterated savagery to give Bane his comeuppance.<br />The subsequent confrontation between Az and Bruce-Bats, which spans several issues, is also awesome, with Bruce-Batman using his wiles as well as his physical prowess to ultimately win the day. And then his first encounter with Bane after the back-breaking incident is also pretty cool (don't remember the issue number.) Bane has him on the ropes, drowning him, then Batman feels a primal surge and delivers an epic beat-down.<br />In modern times, the throw down with Nobody in Batman and Robin is pretty special, as is the final battle with the Joker in Endgame. And taking it back old school, Batman's first battle with Ubu, in the very first Ras Al Ghul storyline, rendered by the great Neal Adams in the 1970s. Batman shows the arrogant big man that size isn't all that matters.<br />Honorable mention: Remember that Batman/Wildcat miniseries from some years back? (I'm thinking it was late 1990s). After being forced to fight one another (blind-folded), two of my favorite characters in comics team up and wage an epic melee battle against a gallery of Batman's most physically intimidating foes -- Killer Croc, KGBeast, Sumo, etc. etc. mconnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079307901949759254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-1924980844128789852015-11-30T21:39:23.673-05:002015-11-30T21:39:23.673-05:00I really enjoy your blog; you have some great anal...I really enjoy your blog; you have some great analyses of all the stuff that's important to us comic book geeks. Have to quibble a little with one point here: In that Prometheus fight, Batman is actually giving him quite the butt kicking, hand to hand; I think that was probably important to the Dark Knight, to prove to himself that he could take Prometheus in a straight-up fight. It isn't until Batman has him on the ropes, hanging by his collar from Batman's fist with his jaw almost broken, that Prometheus "starts getting the upper hand"... by detonating an explosive in Batman's face. At that point, Batman has to be thinking, he has proven what he set out to prove, and now the gloves are off. So it's okay to "cheat."<br />Maybe I'm nitpicking. But it's always bugged me that people on the internet often act as if Batman was actually losing the hand-to-hand fight before he uses the helmet trick.mconnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079307901949759254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-50409393061498176952015-03-24T09:43:53.091-04:002015-03-24T09:43:53.091-04:00Batman > Superman no matter what anyone thinks....Batman > Superman no matter what anyone thinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-41247589247517631572014-02-04T12:16:57.513-05:002014-02-04T12:16:57.513-05:00you are totally right.

He turned Superman into a bumbling dumb puppet for the government and the only reason Batman even came close to beating him is because the Green Arrow had to blind side Supes with the biggest plot device Kryptonite. Oh and lets not forget that batman had to plug into a lamp post also (which is the dumbest thing ever) What a joke.And the BIGGEST fact of all Superman WAS HOLDING BACK !!! Everyone knows if Superman really wanted to beat Batman he could turn him into pink mist at anytime ! Dark Knight Returns was nothing more than elseworld garbage by Frank Miller. I love both batman and supes but I can't stand when batman fanboys bring this trash up ar proof that batman can beat superman. Sorry but it wouldn't even be close. For batman to even have the smallest of chances he has to use the lamest of plot devices Kryptonite. pawle76https://www.blogger.com/profile/04349077279004093301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-1239092216504919272013-08-01T10:57:28.034-04:002013-08-01T10:57:28.034-04:00Can't believe you left out bane ?Can't believe you left out bane ?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005099578513777759.post-35307361533815859652013-05-02T14:52:06.539-04:002013-05-02T14:52:06.539-04:00Is this guy okay in the head?

It is the definitive Batman story. It begins on a downbeat note and goes straight downhill from there, taking Bruce into a hell that almost cannot be described and forcing him to rebuild his body and his soul from nothing. He finds himself at war with the most evil and yet the most realistic enemies we've ever seen him fight. His parents being shot was what started him on his path, but Batman: Venom is the story that shows what turned a man with ambition into an unstoppable, unbeatable, implacable force.
