Could the Turtles take down Batman?

All 4 Turtles against Batman, could they do it?

Not a chance.

No. No, they could not.

Haven't we done this before?
:roll:

4 highly trained ninja's vs. 1 highly trained ninja.

I refer to the old joke about "how do you kill a vampire?"

The true answer is not "garlic," "stake to the heart," or anything elaborate like that.

The true answer is "any freakin' way you want, because vampires aren't real."

The same logic could be applied to this pointless question.

That said, characters of fiction evolve in the popular consciousness due to established "rules" that their creators and fans have contributed to their mythos.

The Batman myth currently reigns supreme over all other super-heroes and comic book characters.

Regardless of the combined "skill" of our four favorite mutant terrapins, Batman will always continue to win this hypothetical question because he can say one thing no other character of fiction can say...

I would have to go with Batman since he has had much more years of training than the turtles.

I think I see Godzilla in that picture... I'm pretty sure Godzilla would win this fight.

In a nutshell, quite true. Batman can beat anybody. Anybody. I remember reading the JLA guide book and reading a caption of how Batman discovered all the weaknesses of his JLA mates in case he had to take them out. He's nothing if not prepared for the worst.

Oh, is that what that is... :P

And we call that, "Paranoia."

Paranoia isn't so bad when it makes you properly prepared to be zapped back in time while simultaneously being killed in the present so that you can fight your way back to the present just in time for a relaunch.

But he's a genius tactician and genius... well, everything. He plans for every possible outcome of just about anything.

And the four Turtles have taken on and engaged dozens upon dozens of Foot soldiers, great... but Batman has taken on the entire League of Assassins' worth of ninjas single-handedly and still come out on top.

And he's beaten Superman. And Darkseid.

Im going with TMNT!!!!! U know what I think Bat girl, NightWing, and Robin be thrown into the mix for a even match up!

That would be extreme overkill... on the Turtles.

Indeed. As it's been said, Batman has plans to take out THE ENTIRE JUSTICE LEAGUE! I'm sure 4 teenage ninjas would be no sweat, for just Bruce.

Maybe if Donatello became the Dark Turtle again! ;)

Btw I love Raphael's reaction to Batman in that picture, lol. :lol:

Yeah but what version of Batman and the Turtles?

You have to make it fair.

60's Batman Vs. 80's Fred Wolf Turtles

B:TAS Batman Vs. 4kids Turtles

1989 Tim Burton Batman Vs. Movie 1 Turtles

DC comics Batman Vs. Mirage Turtles

Batman .

Those are all fair examples. Sadly (for the Turtles), I believe Batman would win in all of those pairups.

Remember that Batman trained for years and years under the best teachers and experts in the world, and that the turtles were trained by a rat who remembers the moves he saw his one master do.

For some reason, I suddenly have the urge to really see 60's Batman in a fight with the Fred Wolf Turtles.

It would be hilarious.

Well... the FW Turtles might be able to defeat Batman West... maybe.

I think that's the one that they could probably win.

Donatello would likely zap Batman into another dimension with his portable portal.

I cant believe this is actually a thread, haha.
It brings to mind this Mitcheroney art. The faint pencil text reads "Yes, it's true! Bigger than Batman!".

I agree, adios Batman, you're no match for Donatello's techno babble! :tsmile:

Batman plans for all contingencies, even portable portals.

For a moment I believed you were talking about Leonardo!!! :lol: :twink:

Anyway Im going to vote for my TMNT team....just because a terrapin has nothing to fear from a bat..... :trazz::trazz::trazz: :P

Like a Phantom Zone Generator that Batman owns? Oh, 60s TV show Batman, right... same as the Fred Wolf series had weird contrivances for Donatello and the others to produce, 60s TV show Batman would pull all sorts of bizarre contraptions from his belt or otherwise.



There's no reason to believe 60s TV show Batman wouldn't have some kind of retarded "Mutant Turtle Repellent" or just happen to have some kind of random retromutagen to revert them to normal turtles.

Whatever that means.

I think it means on the food chain, Turtle > Bat. *shrugs*

Oops!! Nop...sorry for mislead!! :toops::toops::toops:

I mean...Leonardo is also a genius tactician and Don is a genius...As you said about Batman: " But he's a genius tactician and genius... well, everything. He plans for every possible outcome of just about anything."

So then .....Leo "Genius tactician" and Don "Genius" are similar to Batman...adding "Berseker Raph" and "Creative Michelangelo"...I think this team could take down Batman in a fight.

Leo and Don are nowhere near as intelligent or resourceful as Batman. Sorry to say, but true.

Good point. ;)

:o Well...We can not be agree in everything...! :lol: ! ;) I disagree....Also
....Of course I recognize that I can not compare the resources and the education of a millionaire with poor mutant survivors of sewers ... :)

Thanks!! :tgrin:

This.

Also, they're just teenagers. Batman (depending on what version) can be in his late twenties to his sixties and has a ton more experience.

I'm gonna use the same Bat-fan boys use and say. Batman is just a guy, no superpowers (which is udder bull but a different discussion) He isn't unbeatable.

In a situation where Batman don't have time to formulate a bullet proof plan, the turtles could take him out with team work.


Although Batmam does have the Mary-Sue factor as my girlfriend well put it when I asked her opinion.

Cheating
 

Or just from New York City back to Gotham City. But that's cheating, just like of Batman would call the other Justice League members.

I think the argument of "experience" is most acceptable.

With team work the turtles would have a fighting chance if Batman doesn't already have a plan. But Batman generally always has a plan.

I've gotta go with Batman. He's kind of like Bishop and we've never seen the turtles even 4 on 1 defeat Bishop in a fight.

I mean if Batman can use his wits to go toe to toe with super powered beings, taking out four decently skilled ninja at once probably wouldn't be difficult for him.

But... there have been some rather wimpy versions of Batman over the years (though mostly in the 60s and 70s). And those Batmen might lose to even the Fred Wolf TMNT much less the Archie, 2003 or Mirage TMNT.

Except that Batman Forever is NOT like TOS/B:TAS together, but sure would whip the Movie III turtles' ass. You have parallels with Batman and TMNT pretty well:

Batman= Leonardo
Robin= Donatello
Red Robin= Raphael
Nightwing= Michelangelo
Flamebird= April
Ace the Bat Hound= Casey Jones
Joker= Shredder
Riddler= Baxter
Poison Ivy= Karai
Mr. Freeze= Rocksteady
Harley Quinn= Bebop
Killer Croc= Leatherhead
Catwoman= April from "the Catwoman From Channel 6!"
Batwoman= Venus
