As of Thanos Imperative, that is no longer the case.

Alright, let's make this interesting. What type of aid do y'all think Batman would need to pull this off?

Darkseid, Luthor and either Doomsday or Dr. Fate or both.

I think he would have to go to Doc Doom, who would help him only so he could steal Thanos's power and kill Batman and Thanos.

Thanos is like a cosmic Batman with powers on steroids. There is no way Batman has any chance. Thanos has taken over the Marvel Universe on one occasion and destroyed it on another. On top of that, it's been hinted that he'd never defeated as much as his internal desire to fail causes him to lose.

The ENTIRE Justice League roster, past and present... With Booster Gold (because I like the guy).

He'll also need an adult Static and Solomon Grundy.

Batman would find a way, probably sell his soul and become The Spectre for a while or something. maybe get GL to hook him up with a power ring then use that power ring to search throughout the universe for whatever tools can bring down Thanos.

Thanos is killable, or else this wouldn't be a question. and since he's mortal there is either some type of power or tool Batman can acquire or Spectre can get at him from the other side.

let's not downplay the fact that Batman did get Darkseid on a few occassions and Darkseid vs Thanos IS a valid comparison.

jaxn

except that Darkseid and Thanos aren't valid comparisons. Thanos is above DS by a good margin both in intelligence and power. DS is Superman level, hell he's below Superman barring a few recent showings

First, that only pertains to Thanos achieving omnipotence of some sort. Secondly, that hasn't been valid since the 90s. Try again.

Regarding the first bolded, that isn't nearly as cut and dry as you make it seem. During the Thanos Imperative, Thanos was literally disintegrated but managed to regenerate in the next issue due to Death not wanting him...again.

Regarding the second bolded, as jaxn pointed out, they really aren't nowadays. Despite how they were portrayed in the DC vs Marvel crossover, Darkseid doesn't consistently get the same level of respect that Thanos does. In one story, Darkseid might be a universal threat, and in the next, he is begging Superman not to beat his ass anymore. Thanos, on the other hand, tends to be treated as a threat that no signal hero could overcome. From physically stalemating a significantly powered up Thor, to knocking Galactus on his ass, to beating the Silver Surfer to within an inch of his life, to lobotomizing the mortal form of Kosmos (aka the Beyonder), Thanos tends to be treated with a high degree of respect whenever he shows up.

So even with access to whatever is in the Batcave and Watch Tower, Batman still can't win solo? I thought that he was the prep god. Where's his Anti-Thanos spray?

A.J. Trillzynski

ok so you pose the question Batman vs Thanos, and then basically explain that Thanos is unkillable by anyone ever end of story. so what's your point?

how's Batman gonna have a chance against someone that by your explanation even Darkseid, Spectre, Fate, Supes, GL or whoever else in the DCU couldn't take? going by this thread i'd just chalk up this Thanos character as bad writing and so this is a stupid question.

but whatever i'll give you the benefit of the doubt - why pose such an obviously lop sided rhetorical question? trying to prove a point?

he would have to take that time to find an utilize a Cosmic Cube in order to beat Thanos solo, otherwise it ain't happenin.

Just because he may be unkillable, doesn't mean that he can't be knocked out or disabled somehow. Besides, Batman isn't the Punisher, so I don't expect him to resort to murder unless he absolutely has to.

I wanted to see where everyone rated Batman's prep abilities, because hear some of you tell it, he doesn't have any limits.

And interesting double standard you have there: Thanos is the product of bad writing, but Batman managing to rig Apokalips with explosive devices or drawing blood from Darkseid with a kick isn't?

agreed, Thanos is that deal. He doesn't play around with top tiers..you'll never see a Thor or Hulk beating the brakes of Thanos unless there are some kind of circumstances...even though he's not on these guys' power level, he usually tries to go at it with the likes of Odin, Walker, Tyrant, Galactus

Don't forget, Batman also essentially "willed" himself the ability to fly in order to save someone way back inna day. It was on the cover of either Detective Comics or Batman, can't remember which one and I can't seem to find a pic of it, though I know it's out there.

Word? I've never heard of that, but I don't doubt it at all.

It wouldn't matter if he did, he would be dead before he could do anything with that info

The Lonious Monk

So Batman has fanboys like that on here, interesting.

Batman stands no chance. Thanos does what Batman does but on a cosmic scale. He's more intelligent, has more knowledge, is a better fighter, has better technology, knows magic, and actually has powers. There is literally nothing that Batman has going for him that would allow him to triumph over Thanos alone.

As far Thanos' desire to lose, it's true, but let's not forget that the person who surmised it was Adam Warlock, who is essentially Thanos' arch nemesis, and Warlock had only come to that conclusion after Thanos had been successful and basically allowed himself to lose.

I Am Him

Oh, they go H.A.M. for Bats, Wolverine is my fav character, but I know he can't beat Thanos.

I was gonna say the same thing. DC messed up Batman by making him something he was not when he was created. Batman was a crime fighter, not a superhero.
