In response to the voting, Batman is now going up against some of Marvel's rogues gallery. Can he survive?
Batman is one of the toughest non-powered heroes within the DC Universe as well as one of the smartest. There is no debate he is the greatest detective but there is some debate as to whether or not he has the ability to defeat the likes of Superman and other high powered heroes. Batman may not be able to defeat them, but he does have a contingency plan in case any heroes decide to go rogue. A prime example of this is within the pages of JLA: Tower of Babel. Within this story arc, we find Batman's has been keeping records concerning the strengths and weaknesses of his allies in the JLA, including plans to neutralise his allies in a fight. Another case of Batman's intelligence is he keeps a kryptonite ring in his utility belt in case he has to face Kryptonians or even the man of steel himself.
But can he defeat them with these contingencies in place? And what if Batman somehow makes it into the Marvel Universe? More than likely, Batman would get a feel for his surroundings and learn to adapt as he always does. The following fights will be left to the fans as to who is the better fighter. Assume Batman has been in the Marvel Universe for a month and has been in hiding, while gathering data on his coming opponents. If he were to face some of these characters, would he actually win, or would he fall? It's time for you to decide...is Batman tough enough?

The fight kicks off with both men throwing batarang, pumpkin bombs, razor batwings and everything you can think of that both combatants have. The biggest think the dark knight has for him at this moment though is the fact Phil is a very inexperienced fighter. Even when he had a Green Goblin suit, he was just barely winning some of his battles and hasn't had much training since then. Instead he relies on his superhuman strength (thanks to the suit) and his gadgets, but all Batman is doing is waiting for the right moment. Luckily, he's had a fight with the Green Goblin before, so he has adapted and he also knows Urich isn't as crazy as Norman. When Hobgoblin glides close enough, Bruce lands an exploding batarang onto the glider and disables it and this sends Phil flying through the air. When he attempts to stop himself w/his jet boots, Batman has already predicted his movement and has another exploding batarang make contact. It explodes on his boot and hurls Hobby out of control into the street. When he lands face first into the pavement, the dark knight is already there to meet him and delivers a fierce combo, which puts the Hobgoblin out of commission.

Batman may be used to fighting futuristic villains, but not like Kang. In his time within the Marvel Universe, he wasn't able to collect much data from Nathaniel so he tries to improvise. This tactic fails because Kang has already seen this past event and has prepared for it. The battle was over before it began...

When this fight begins, Batman already knows Klaw is going to use his sound converter for the majority of the battle so almost instantly, he manages to disable it. From this point out its not much of a fight. Klaw attempts to land a few punches on Batman but fails miserably. The dark knight hands him a new one and disappears into the darkness.

Batman realizes from the get-go that Yuriko is not one to take lightly. The dark knight immediately goes on the defensive and attempts to subdue her but can't land a direct blow. Instead, both adversaries are constantly evading each attack and trying to figure out each other's weakness. Unfortunately the biggest weakness for Yuriko is the hatred she has for Wolverine and Bruce isn't that man. But Lady Deathstrike knows even though Batman's a superb fighter, he's only human and that is his weakness. The fighters go on for about 35 minutes and Batman starts to show signs of fatigue, which is when Yuriko strikes. At a moment of weakness, Batman receives a few slashes to the abdomen and a high kick to the face. Lady Deathstrike then lands the final blows and incapacitates Bruce. Although she loves to murder, she lets Bruce live as a fighters respect and walks away...

Although the Leader is gamma powered, its mostly in his brain. His intelligence is what gets the best of him here because he doesn't realize how smart Batman really is (plus he's not much of a fighter). His telepathy has no affect on the dark knight either because he is far from weak minded. Batman gets close and lays Stearns out without much effort.

There isn't really much Batman can do in this battle because Arthur is pure energy. Batman tries everything he has but can't do any damage whatsoever. Finally the Living Laser speeds up behind Batman and exerts himself into laser beams, incapacitating the dark knight.

Although the Lizard is fairly smart when he is in his reptilian form, he still lacks the control and starts to immediately give into his reptilian instinct. Batman starts to treat him like Killer Croc and uses his tactics against Connors. Curt attempts to lash at Bruce with his tail but is dodged every time. The dark knight releases smoke pellets and exploding batarangs all around the Lizard to confuse him. From that point, he moves in and lands a barrage of strike point combos to knock the Lizard out cold.
This round was a pretty evenly matched round. Batman did not take all the villains, but yet had some pretty decent wins. He also had his hands full with some of the combatants.
