You get 50,000 dollars and one week to hire anyone you can. Batman is in character.


Can you take him out or will you fail?

I'll use the cash to trap people and sacrifice them to Yog-Sothoth and possibly enlist the aid of Nyarlathotep.

Then I'll be able to take him down under my own power while turning him insane.

I win. I use the $50,000 on a nice camera and tickets to go from Metropolis to Gotham, and various other things.

I go up to Bruce Wayne and blackmail him with my knowledge that he's Batman, Tim Drake, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd were all Robin, Barbara Gordon was Batgirl, Superman is Clark Kent, Wally West and Barry Allen are the Flash, etc etc, and get him to build me a sweet bitchin' power armor.

batman wins. 50 000 is nothing compared to the resources he has, and a week is nothing on his lifetime of experience. bane had a similar tactic of freeing all the arkham inmates and getting batman to chase them all down, meaning he didnt sleep for a few weeks, didnt recover from any fights and just racked up alot more injuries each night as he got tireder, slower and less focused. in the end though, batman got it done, and thats when bane showed up and beat him down. by that point batman too exhausted to defend himself or put up any kind of a fight.

so, using everyone at arkham against batman, and enhancing himself beyond human strength levels was how bane beat batman. 50k wouldnt get me many top super villains, if it got me any at all. and even if it did, batman can far more often than not, take them out, leaving him to track me down (he is the worlds greatest detective) and kick the crap out of me with his mastery of almost every martial art known to man.

superman has called batman the most dangerous man on earth. im inclined to agree.

I'd buy a gun. Then I'd shoot him in the face.

I win, and I'd still have a lot of money left over depending on the cost of the gun.

I'm inclined to agree, $50K will buy you a pretty nice gun.

How much are those mini-guns that fire 70 rounds a second??

Then wonder woman flies up behind you and snaps your neck... then Clark and Bruce disowns her saying Bats had everything under control.

I'ld just use the blackmail knowledge to kill Bruce in public. Maybe spend 5,000 on a hit.

I would use the money to buy a sniper rifle, and to hire some random guy to lure batman out of his cave. Once he's out, I'll just wait for good time to pick him off from a rooftop.

A lot?

I figure a three-day waiting period wouldn't be two hard. I could probably set up some kind of trap while I wait, maybe set up a contingency plan.

Or maybe I could just nab a spare from someone. I'm sure there's a mob boss, or a supervillain that wouldn't mind parting with a 9-mil if it means taking out Batman.

Of course, then Superman would kick my teeth in...

I would like to think i would come up with some ingenious plan with the $50,000 and take bats out. The simplest thing would be to just try and get the drop on him and shoot him but how many hundreds of thugs have tried that and failed.$50,000 is'nt enough to hire any reputable hitman or villian to take him down and they would probably kill you just for asking. Odds are i would fail miserably and get a batarang to the face!

Buy a 100k ring, seduce Powergirl, and, among other things, have her snap Bat's neck.

Or I could just call a favor in on my main man Cthulhu, but I like the first option much better.

I'm more than positive Batman could own me. You give me a million dollars and I'm sure bats could take me still. Besides, If I bought a nice gun with 50,000 Batty might get desperate and buy a nicer gun with his billions of dollars...

With 50K you can buy lots of bear and alc, that's what I would do buy lots of alc and give it to lots of Hooligans as payment to beat Batman.

Of course, $50k is a drop in the bucket for Mr. Stark, but you get the idea. Bats can't get a better gun if you kill him in one shot.

True, but for me with no milatary record, no gun training beyond James Bond games, never actually owned a gun, only been hunting twice and never shot anything, Batman would own me easy. Seriously, I couldn't outsmart him either, with my brainpower of a high schooler and him being a genius.

Batman would so totally lose to ANYBODY.

Why?






He's a freaking fictional character......

Lies and blasphemy.


I like to think that with a gun I could somehow kill him as Bruce Wayne, but that would be wishful thinking.

Even if I did kill him, I imagine that his allies (and enemies, even) would hunt me down and give me the most brutal end I could possibly receive.

As awesome as I am, I actually have to go with Batman in this case. $50 000 isn't alot of money in the superhero world. I'm not sure how much help it would buy me, but given Batman's/ Bruce's years of training and keen senses, I don't think I'd be able to outsmart him in anyway.



...Unless he doesn't know anything about Transformers. Pretty sure I could pwn him there.

I suppose that I could go to his grave and say 'Thanks for the cash, you ancient crime fighter!'. Realistically, he would be dead by now. Then, I'd go back to trolling Seibertron.com.
