10 Marvel Comics characters we want Batman to fight
By Mark Lynch
9. Devil Hulk
Batman shouldn’t fight the regular Hulk. Bruce would outsmart him. He needs to fight Devil Hulk. This version of the Jade Giant is sadistic, ruthless, and cunning. This is on top of his superhuman strength. It’s like fighting Joker, Bane, and Darkseid at once. Could be more than Batman can handle?
Batman wins this fight, but it’s close every time. Bruce is smarter, Hulk is stronger. Hulk is merciless and Batman is calculated. Each of their fights would end with Bruce Wayne having to go above and beyond to stay alive.
Devil Hulk wouldn’t go out of his way to fight Batman. It’s counterproductive. He had plans that needed his full attention. However, this Hulk would enjoy his fight with the Dark Knight. He’s sadistic. Fighting someone with Bruce’s would test him in ways only T’Challa can.
10. Moon Knight
The original plan for Moon Knight may have been for him to be Marvel Comics’ Batman. That plan failed. Eventually, his character was changed in Moon Knight: The Bottom by Charlie Huston. This is where he became someone worth building a franchise on. The multiple personalities and talking to an Egyptian Moon God made him interesting and he’s continued to improve ever since.
Bruce is a better fighter by far, but that doesn’t guarantee a win. Moon Knight can take more punishment than most. A teammate of his once told Moon Knight, “No one hits a guy in the fist with his face like you do.” As true as that is, Batman takes punishment as well. This comes down to who can endure more pain. And this writer believes the advantage goes to Moon Knight.
