Black Panther vs Batman



Black Panther and Batman, the brooding geniuses of the Justice League and the Avengers. These two are actually quite similar in many ways, they have a similar skill level as well as similar technology. But if these two were to face each other, how would the battle turn out?? We will look at the facts about both characters, weigh the odds and give my official verdict.


Let's start with Batman, he's everyone's favorite vigilante. He's a tactical genius, world's greatest detective as well as a world class martial artist. Batman's martial arts training is extensive he even claims to be extensively trained in 127 styles of combat, his normal style makes use of about 10 of them. He is also the world's greatest detective and one of the world's greatest tacticians. He is peak for someone of his weight/height/age/build in every category including speed, agility, strength and reflexes. He also uses multiple high tech gadgets that can give him the advantage in a battle.


Now, let's look at Black Panther. He's got a great tactical mind, he's had to protect his nation of Wakanda from all types of threats. He received physical enhancements from the panther god after he ate the herb. He too, has great technology including a suit that absorbs kinetic energy, anti-metal laws and an energy dagger. Black Panther is also a master of the African martial arts and is also extensively trained in multiple other ones. 

The breakdown:

After much arguing with myself, I came to the conclusion that neither one is better than the other martially, they have around equal stats and feats when it come to that department. Physically, Panther is more agile, but that's it. Strength wise, Panther even with the enhancements can lift around 1,100 lbs while Batman can lift 1,000 lbs so they are pretty much dead even in that respect. Panther has slightly better technology, Batman's is good but not AS good. While on the other hand, Batman has the superior tactical mind, not by much but still.

The Verdict:

Overall, after much thinking.
I came to the conclusion that Black Panther  has better tech and is smarter scientifically, while Batman has had more experience in the field and is better tactically. Physically they are dead even in every respect except agility. Martially, neither one has the advantage. Through and through, this fight would last for hours, days perhaps even weeks. It would go on until one or the other gives up, Panther has been stalemated by Batman-ish opponents (Daredevil) while Batman has fought Panther-ish opponents (Bronze Tiger) to a stand still. This would go on and on, with no clear winner.

The winner:


STALEMATE.

Agree with the outcome? Who would YOU like to see us match up next??

hmm ill agree with you on this only to say that if batman had prep and could disable panthers suit hed deal some serious damage as i believe batman has the slight edge in h2h prowess, taking into account that panther could nullify batmans weapons with prep also this would come down to h2h combat where batman would pull out the hard fought win

Well, the thing there is that they've both shown pretty good prep feats. Panther has managed to take out low to medium level superhumans with prep like Wolverine and Kraven and Batman has done the same with guys like Croc and Bane. But overall, I just don't see a scenario where Panther defeats Batman, or where Batman defeats Panther. Unless one or the other is holding back immensely, I can't see either one gaining the advantage.

I think Black Panther would win.

Even if Batman disables the tech in Panther's suit the ability to absorb kinetic energy is a property of the materials woven into the suit.So in a none prep match it would be Panther but every rematch onward the victor would vary between Bats and Panther.After all they don't have endless stamina.They will eventually tire and leave an opening for the other to take advantage of.

I am a HUGE fan of both characters but I always give it to panther because of his Vibranium weapons, knowledge of mysticism and willingness to kill. I agree with your assessment but the first battle w/o knowledge of Vibranium will go to panther.

I think BP would win more times than he would lose against Bats but I'm happy to agree to a draw.

Panther once lifted his throne chair that was speculated to weighing a ton. That's more than 1,000 lbs.

Anyhow, Panther has more experience, is a better strategist in which he leads the Wakandan army on all fronts and has briefly lead the Avengers and Fantastic Four at one point, and while Batman has plans against the JLA, Panther has plans against Galactus, Dr.Doom and Latveria, and Mephisto, his paraphernalia/weapons/gadgets are more advanced, he's physically superior and has shown feats of higher intelligence

^ That's modern amped up Panther. Modern Panther has ridiculous PIS feats, traditionally his suit wasn't THAT advanced. It was advanced but not by much, of course nowdays he's been written as the answer to Iron Man, current BP is written as the only guy who can out prep Iron Man. Classically, his tech wasn't THAT far above Batman's tech. Panther overall was Daredevil /Batman-level overall.

Classic BP was fought to a standstill by the likes of Daredevil, so I see no reason why Batman couldn't do the same.

Can you give examples of some of Panther's PIS feats?

Out prepping Iron Man, which is utterly canon contradictory. Getting the best of Namor who is a class 100 and can ALMOST match the likes of Thor or Hulk. Not to mention Namor is a master fighter himself and has mastered all of the Atlantean fighting styles and has been using them for 200 years. Beating a super Skrull that had the combined skills of himself, DD, Cap, and multiple others.

Stuff like that, they're trying to make him like the way they've made Batman in recent years, the guy that EVERYONE jobs to.

Batman has PIS feats like that too, such as beating amazo in a random encounter. Beating Grundy and Wonder Woman.

I'm just not counting them for either side.

While I can respect your decision, it's still a cop out. ;)

1. How is outprepping Iron Man PIS if Panther has been raised since birth in that field?

2. But you also gotta remember that Namor's power level fluctuates depending on his dependency of water.

3. In that right with the Super Skrull, Panther admitted that he couldn't outfight him, but he didn't hang in there for a while. He spotted the Skrull's weakness which he used to defeat/kill him.

And as far as the Bats/Grundy fight is concerned, Grundy's powers also are fluctuated with his resurrections. Sometimes he stronger enough to fight Superman, Shazam, and Wonder Woman but at other times gets beat down by the likes of Batman and Wildcat.

Really, stalemate??

So, both characters just shrug their shoulders and walk away?

Hmmm I dont think this would've ended like this, batman SHOULD win. If you look DEEP into comic history, (Or google :P) You will find, batman defeated the ENTIRE justice league by himself, super-man, wonder-woman, all them, and super-man, is pretty much invincible.
So I believe if you can have Batman VS. The whole justice league, and batman wins, I'm pretty sure he can take one one ALMOST super human. The only thing that can really defeat batman, would be spiderman, on account of his spider sense, as batman's main attack is stealth, NO super smell/hearing and all that CANNOT suffice, as batman would fake him out, but you cannot fake out spider sense. I did some research on the matter. and that is what I came up with. No offence to BP but BM would win. And, also, batman defeated SOLOMON GRUNDY one of superman's most well-known enemies. The Facts dont lie. Though all BPs gadgets and suit would put up a good fight, bat man wins it. Also, if they fought batman would go all bane kill on em' and ram him with a suprise batmobile, No amount of training can stop His Gadgets.

@Curedo
He did not. That was purely theoretical, he had a FAILSAFE plan IF they ever went rogue. It was only theoretical and he wouldn't have won, and he has never defeated Superman in a canon story either.

I'm sorry, but Batman can't beat "everyone" as you say. He is one of the best characters ever created, but saying he can beat every hero is being ignorant to the facts.
