Didn't he kill the Joker? Sorry, I've only skimmed through the book and I thought the way Joker died was incredible.

I also noticed how Batman attempted to fry Superman's brain and was surprised he was still standing.

Just read through a plot summary and confirms that Batman did NOT kill the Joker.

It did happen to mention that Batman might have killed a whole team of police officers with an incendary bomb, but it might have only have destroyed Joker's body.

.
No. He beats up the joker and I think paralyses him? but either way when the cops are coming to get them the Joker uses all of his stregnth to break his own neck so that batman will be framed.

You didn't read my other post, did you?

Not quite on par with, say, Superman, or even Superman's tax accountant.

Which is all well and good, except for the fact that if he wanted to, Batman could devise a gun which would teleport bullets directly into Spider-Man's spinal column.

If that were true, he'd be unable to be harmed by anything short of a thermonuclear weapon.

Strength isn't all there is to hand-to hand combat; for that reason, beating a big moron isn't really a breathtaking feat. Talos the Tamed made Hulk cry for mercy one time, and the mass discrepancy was greater there. Banner was no dummy by that time, either.

However much time it took Spidey to beat Rhino, Batman could've done it in half.

I'm afraid most of the nerdly accolades are due to certain others (anyone who's read the thread should be able to say who), but you should be proud for inducing such a mighty nerd-fight.

So the scenario would be Spiderman grabs Batmans ass in the shower of the local gym. They are both starkers and all their tools are in the lockers.
That scenario would have a couple of questions, though.

The first, would be; why are they in a locker room with butt grabbing going on?

The second is; will Robin find out?





Ok, for the uninitiated, I thought I'd get a few pictures of our combatants.

Here's Batman. Notice the look of intensity on his face. As you can see, he still suffers from the loss of his parents.



And here's Spider-Man. Fighting a villian, who has the power to hit things with a pole of skulls. A dangerous foe, indeed.

Mary Jane may or may not be in danger, and falling, somewhere out of the frame.

He wasn't surprised that Supes was still standing--he was more surprised that he was still standing.

Didn't kill a single cop--it just torched the Joker's body, and lit a cops riot suit on fire (but since he was in a tunnel of love, he got doused rather quickly). He also blew up some C-4 on a wall to cover his excape, but IIRC a new report stated that while there were several injuries, no fatalities were reported.

And in the Dark Knight Strikes Again, he kills one person--exactly one. Dick Grayson, who has turned himself into a regenerating freak just to get revenge on Batman for firing him.
