Current Events > Could Batman beat a Jedi in a fight?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just wondering.

Possibly if he had preparation. If they ever did a crossover like that though, I would predict Bruce learning how to use a lightsaber

Remember how nearly the entire Jedi Council was a complete joke in RotS?

Probably.

Jedi are dumbasses so yes and have even more plot armor than Batman at times

With the fanboys that believe Batman is a god, he can beat anyone & anything.

Otherwise, the lightsaber cuts through him like everything else, the force fucks him up, and Batman has no chance.

Batman did a crossover with the Aliens franchise once and I seem to remember he was fighting xenomorphs with no weapons. Just beating them up. And winning

Then some Predators were watching and were like " this human is cool"

What you think should happen and what DC would make happen are very different. If they are going ahead with a crossover, they are going to make sure Batman does something cool

^I'm well aware that DC's writers will always make Batman win at everything. I really don't give a fuck though.

Obviously Batman would wear his lightsaberproof suit, turn on his force canceling device, and grab his can of Jedi repellent from his utility belt.

Easy win.

Didn't the Yuzong Vong or whatever, have an ability to turn off the force? If so, your idea isn't without precedent

Probably, because outside of his own comics where he mostly fights other humans he's a horribly written character with feats he really shouldn't have

Heh

"A" Jedi? Yes. Not even remotely a contest.

Someone like Yoda, little harder. Yoda probably wins but Batman could win.

It depends on the Jedis midichlorian count.

Batman... is a Jedi

No idea as I am not up on all the lore, but interesting if true.

Star Wars EU has cortosis, a lightsaber-proof material. He'd find some of that and make armour out of it.

Cad Bane is basically star wars batman and he bested plenty of Jedi so yes.

Yeah, given his level of bullshittery, I honestly think that he'd have an anti-jedi suit stashed up his ass for such an occasion.

somehow, batman wins

If Cad Bane and Jango Fett could do it then there's no reason why Batman couldn't do it too.

Y is everyone forgetting about Beskar

(Does the Mistere Man was right dance)

JK

Does he have time to plan?

If Batman had contact with the SW universe he'd either immediately become highly force sensitive, or else due to his complete lack of midichlorians he would be able to "go beyond" the force

You can't see this in the movies, but Jedi in the comics are supposed to be superhuman in ways besides force lightning and stuff.

That's a bit of a stretch. Chi and magic exist in DC and Batman doesn't have it. I doubt he'd have a SW equivalent just for being present in the SW universe.

Batman's "time to plan" superpower is countered by the Jedi's ability to predict the future.

The Dark Knight clouds their vision. The Dark Knight is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

It turns out that the same sun which gives Superman his incredible abilities also suppresses natural Force-sensitive abilities in creatures on Earth. So, when Batman leaves this galaxy, it awakens the Power within him, and he can feel it almost immediately, its influence, granting him clarity, and strength.

Not a jedi, but... you know
The action starts at around the 3:50 mark

Just use Atton's techniques against Jedi, easy win.

Even without time to plan, Batman could take down an average Jedi without too much difficulty. A highly skilled Jedi would be a different story, though.

Depends on the Jedi

Batman is so stealthy he can sneak away from Superman. I'm sure he could hide from Jedi future prediction shit. And besides Yoda could only see like a few seconds into the future at best. Every other Jedi was killed in an ambush

I'd say yes because 99% of jedi ever shown on screen or in comics are pathetic, lierally cannon fodder and only there to bounce lasers off a lightsaber for 8 seconds before they get killed.

Ya he could. He has at least three different suits (hellbat, final batsuit, insider suit) that enable him to contend with creatures much stronger than the average jedi. Maybe some highly skilled ones too but i dont want to underestimate the top tier jedis.

Yea, Jedi have to be THE WORST group of super powered individuals in all of fiction. They go down easier than stormtroopers.

I think you are referring to the Hellbat suit. He used it once to invade Darkseid's planet after

His son was murdered and he knew there was a way to bring him back on that world

If I remember correctly, he did it all by himself. Just Batman in the Hellbat, vs Darkseid's army. And he was able to secure what he was after. Was actually pretty badass

Most Jedi aren't that amazing as warriors, almost all of them were killed by clone troopers.

Even the best Jedi can be beaten by normal people. Cad Bane beat Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan in a 2 v 1, and those were two of the most powerful Jedi at the time.

So yeah it's theoretical that Batman could win depending on the exact situation. He would likely need some more advanced tech than he traditionally uses, either some of his more advanced DC stuff or star Wars tech.

Shooting them in the back when they aren't expecting it isn't really a demonstratable feat of combat ability.

Most don't survive getting shot at from the front either. Face it, Jedi are all disposable because there can be infinite number of them made up to fill space in any story. Sith are a bit less disposable as there are strict limits on how many appear at one time, and they can be fleshed out and HAVE to be kept around. There's scores of Jedi without names.This leads to even prominent named focal point Jedi getting jobbed out at some point inevitably in order to show how cool a sith(or some bounty hunter) is or to just progress the story. There's like five or six Jedi at this point that Batman could not fuck up.

Batman is written by his fanboys at this point, which is why he sucks.
Wouldn't be surprised if there's a crossover comic out there somewhere where he's going toe-to-toe with fucking Vader.

I mean apparently theres a RWBY crossover with Justice League, so yeah, pretty much fanfic at this point

Lmao at people voting no Jedi are terrible and have gotten killed by storm troopers, Jango and other bounty hunters that don't have much going on....

On the sith numbers, depends on the setting. In the expanded universe, there is some times in history of the galaxy where sith are just as numerous as jedi. There is a whole mmo about one of those time periods. Game is called The Old Republic for anyone who wonders. Basically is World of Warcraft in space

Anyway, the Rule of Two wasn't actually a rule until a certain point in history. And it hasn't always been followed.

A jedi yes. One of the more powerful ones then they would have to write some nonsense like how Batman always beats Superman

Superman has beaten Batman way more times. Batman gets a few "wins " on him (usually because Supes isn't even trying to fight him in the first place) and everyone (not saying you) thinks he can legitimately square up with him.
