Saturday Showdown- Batman v. Spider-man

Saturday Showdown

On my path to Dawn of Justice, every theory Thursday, Saturday Showdown, and some special features will be leading up to the release of the movie. The Theory Thursday after I see the movie will be my thoughts and ideas on where they could go with the film.

Today: Batman V Spider-Man

Batman:

Bio: after witnessing the death of his beloved parents at the tender age of 8 (or 12. Depends on who you ask) Bruce Wayne dedicated himself to finding the identity of his parents killer (did he ever do it? Depends on who you ask). After years of training his body and mind, Bruce Wayne protects the innocent of his city as Batman!

Arsenal: armed to the teeth with gadgets ranging from explosive gel to shark repellant. Multiple vehicles to get around with, a snazzy butler who knows everything.

Base of operations: Justice League watch tower, Gotham City.

 

Spider-man

Bio: when Peter Parker was bit by a radio-active spider, he found it as his opportunity to strike it rich. After a wrestling match (or an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, or chocolate milk) a thief ran past Peter when Peter had the ability to stop him. Later it was that thief that killed his Uncle Ben (who is the closest thing Peter ever had to a father, unless his father is still alive. Somehow.) Now Peter uses his powers to fight crime and defend the innocent.

Arsenal: natural powers of wall clinging, enhanced strength, speed, and agility, premonitions (Spider-Sense) and web shooters (organic? Mechanical? Who knows?)

Base of operations: New York City

The battle:

The street lights barely gave enough light to see. This was a chronic problem with the lights in this part of New York. Spider-man didn’t mind that, but he was concerned about the criminal activity in this neighborhood. His uncle’s killer had his operations based out of this neighborhood and he intends to clean it out.

"AAAAGH"!

Spider-man heard the man’s screams from a couple blocks away. Time to investigate. In record time, Spider-man made it to the scene and what he saw surprised him. The man that screamed was passed out, and standing above him was a man in some kind of vampire costume. A quick tap of Spider-man’s web shooters and the supposed culprit was caught.

“I’m sorry to burst your bubble count, but Halloween was like 7 months ago, or your five months early. Either way.”

“What you think you see is not what’s happening.” Said the batman

“Let’s see… Scary person, scared person, sarcastic person… yeah, this has all your makings of a fishy situation” said Spider-man

“This guy is all problem. My Spider sense is going crazy against this guy. Better keep a safe distance.” Thought Spider-man.

“Here, let me just put you in a nice web cocoon and let’s see if the nice guys in the police costumes can help you out bud”

“I don’t think so. The police is a place I only want to visit on my own terms.” Said batman. At that moment, Batman breaks a canister on his belt, releasing a gas that dissolved the webbing.

“Oh boy, this guy is going to be trouble” thought spider-man

“Ooh, good trick! I’ll admit that, but let’s see if you can do any more cool stuff!” spider-man gives himself a front flip and rockets towards batman feet first, looking for his foot to hit Batman’s face.

“You talk too much” batman grabs Spider-man’s leg and, using Spider-man’s own momentum, throws the scarlet Webster into the ground below. Batman gave a kick to Spider-man than an over the head flip back onto the pavement. Batman tries that move again, that was a mistake.

“Yep, let’s not do that again. That tickled a bit the last time.” Spider-man spring-loads his web strand, catapulting him into the air. A thin web strand then hits Batman’s chest, pulling him into the air.

“Alright now see, I have the proportionate strength of a spider as well as its agility. Notice how the air doesn’t effect me much.” Said spider-man as he was punching and kicking Batman.

“Bats can fly.” Batman then pulls his cape up, putting him above spider-man, then he let go and double kicked spider-man to the ground. Batman then drops on the ground next to him and throws a gas bomb. Batman shoots his grapple to a nearby building and chills there. Spider-man is on the wall next to him.

“Saw that coming.” Said spider-man

“I know” responded Batman.

Batman’s gauntlet shown blue with electric current against the metal on the corner of the building, electrifying Spider-man and sending him to the ground unconscious.

“That was a shocking experience. I can do quips too.” Batman then drives off to the next Job.

Winner: Batman

Agree? Disagree? Fight about it in the comments. Incidentally, this one was really close. We might need a re-match sometime… what do you think?
