Batman vs James Bond

The Batman vs The Tick got me thinking of a more serious match-up.

Both Batman and 007 have all their respective resources and gadgets available at their disposal. Both drive into an abandoned part of town amidst the derelict buildings with their super cars (batmobile and the latest Aston Martin).

Which would ultimately win?

Bond shoots Batman through they eye with a laser beam that fires out of his watch. Then he makes a stupid pun about it like "I guess the Dark Knight Finally say the Light."

Seriously, Batman is good but he's armed primarily with. . . boomerangs. Bond has a gun as his primary weapon. Their various odd devices should cancel out, I'm not sure if the missiles on the car can destroy the Batmobile.

How much prep time do they each have? That will determine how effective Batman will be.

Also is it the 60's Batman or the Burton films Batman?

Batman can technically go to the JLA and get a motherbox. He's also good enough to steal a nuclear weapon. Would that count as cheating?

Batman is screwed against someone who can actually hit his target with a firearm.

The Batman has survived professional assassins, mob hitmen, and the ninja operatives of Ra's Al Ghul (the Society of the Hand). He is the result of over fifteen years of intensive training in the martial arts, escapology, and the forensic sciences. He is a survivor and is trained to the point where his every sense alerts him to danger, and he is able to improvise his way out of hazard. With no superpowers and no deadly weapons at his disposal, he has learned to think his way out of any trap and reacts swiftly to his environment and his opponnents. He has had to. Give him any time to study his opponnent, and he owns the battle before it's even begun.

If Bond wins this one, it will be by luck. But to be certain, Batman would not have an easy fight. Bond's survival and improvisational skills are roughly equal to the Dark Knight's in nearly every category. Only 007's dependence on the fancy toys might prove his undoing.

I've had this arguement with My Bro.

I think Bond would win based on my bias. But Actually It could either way.

Hand to hand, thet are both pretty evenly matched.

Gadgets, Bond edges him out. He has the British secret service as his source.

course, batman has a megacorp at his back. . . lots of money for toys.

Superman considers Batman the most dangerous person alive, which should give you an idea on how deadly Batman is. Batmans entire body is a frickin weapon, even his cape, which is weighted. His one undoing is that Batman doesn't like to kill unless he feels that his life is in danger and that there's no other solution.

James Bond and Batman are basically the same character. Ingenius, improvisational, and well stocked with goods. Except Batman is more or less a supergenius... but Bond kills people without effort or compunction.

Batman will probably attempt to capture Bond. Bond will attempt to shoot his enemy to death, either with his sidearm or any of the other Ten Thousand implements of projectile death he is familiar with. Bond is a crack shot... so good, in fact, that he was able to ski backwards at upwards of 40 miles per hour and score a direct hit on a man twenty yards away... with a gyrojet weapon that had no sights.

He'll burn Batman down in the first burst.

if he can find him. batman hides in shadows, to keep his myth of omniprescence.

Hand to hand ? Bond would not last a minute. They are not evenly matched. Bond have militar training and some training in martial arts. Batman is a world master of martial arts. If we talk the movie Bond, lets remember ? Bond faced kung-fu fighters ? How he is won ? With a tricky. Not with fight. Batman would never fall that same trick.

Bond is actually captured and defeated thousand times very easily before he can avoid the final killing. Batman would never do such kind of mistakes.
Bond can actually hit (Not to mention Batman can dodge bullets from very close range) but so Batman is no villain, he can actually fight.
Batman's weapons and gadgets are superior to those of bond expect when the stuff is killing (which we know, Batman do not). The Batmobile is inferior to the tank he used for example to face the Swamp Thing.
The key is Bond is close to be a realist character (after all the book bond is) when Batman is not. He learned and do things that a human lifetime would never be possible to achive. Bond does not. he is a very good soldier, that is all. Batman is beyond soldiers.
And give a break, Bond, hiding, find Batman in his City ? Its much easier to Batman find bond much before of that.

Bond challenges Batman to a race. Batman agrees.
They both hop into their cars, and off they go!
Batman takes the lead! Bond fires a missile at it, only to see it bounce off the batmobile armor.
Batman fights Bond hand-to-hand, and kicks his ass, while cartoon like effects such as "WHAM" and "POW" fill the screen.

I say Bats only because while Bond is so very good(his villains at times are exceptional morons, but he does get out of some good death traps and is quick on his feet) Batman is the same but without a gun...and actually more reliant upon shadow hiding.

As for weaponry...Batman has access to tech Q would blush at.

And for Hand to hand...Bond is decent but relies more on firearms than hand to hand(which he should given his profession)...so I say Bats would take him.

Hand To Hand Combat- Batman has been practicing martial arts for years and is very good with melee weapons as a result, Bond has had extensive training as well but i'm guessing Bruce Wayne hasn't been going to Japan just to buy Catwoman a new geisha outfit.

Cars- The Batmobile is the coolest car ever aside from the Mach V, Bond's cars are the bomb but not exactly Batmobile caliber

Weapons- Bond is has the edge with the PPK but Batman is jus't a spandex man with buttless chaps, his suit won't block bullets like Superman but it will save him from deaht and maybe serious injury.

Chicks- Bond by a landslide, Bruce Wayne's costume fetish hurts more than it helps

Elderly sidekick- Alfred Pennyworth, witty, loyal, cannot manufacture the greatest hi tech gadgets but makes a mean bundt cake. Q rules. (Bond wins)

Nationality- Stars and Stripes and Union Jack. It's a tie between the two best Red White and Blues on the Planet.

X Factor- Raw Sexuality vs. Utility Belt. Since 9 out of 10 Bond Villians are male I would have to give Batman the Edge here.

It looks like a clos ebatman win but I guess you could always googlefight it.

Sorry, slight correction: Ra's Al Ghul's ninja corps are known as the Society of Shadows. The Hand are part of the Marvelverse; ninja assassins and enforcers often commissioned by the Yakuza. Both Wolverine and Elektra have run afoul of them in the past.
