Yes, but some people have waay too much time….

Great War Ace26 Nov 2014 9:38 a.m. PST

And those were puny missiles….

GoneNow26 Nov 2014 10:36 a.m. PST

Very well done I thought and I liked the end result.

Never count Batman out…which is why you have the two Stormtroopers asking each other, "did you hear something?" While Darth stumbles off to seal himself off in his hyperbaric chamber so his lungs don't collapse, Batman rescues Supes none the wear for worse.

I don't think so, I think Batman died at the end there.

Still I think supes escapes because during the light saber duel Batman managed to sever some of the power cables keeping him in lock down or whatever.

I guess Superman would just totally get his butt kicked by Vader, being vulnerable to the force the way he would be.

Nope. Gonna disagree. Darth gets his butt kicked by an untrained farmboy, a cocky smuggler and a wookie, and only wins a fight against a septuagenarian because the old guy gives up. Not to mention that in his prime Darth (aka Anakin the Twit) got his legs sliced off by that same old guy. No way he beats Batman. We also know that "without your mask, you'll die" (see RotJ), so once the helmet's cracked, he's a goner. And Batman is waaaaay smarter than he's shown. The only way he'd engage in an extended fight with Darth in the first place is to distract the Sith from the real action, where Robin/Nightwing removes whatever chunk of kryptonite is holding back Supes from turning the Death Star into a crumpled ball of Reynolds Wrap.

So here's the real ending:

The Sith Lord's hand snapped out as if blocking something in front of him. A wall of force struck against Batman and the window behind him shattered, his body hurling through it and down. Vader lowered his hand, satisfied in his victory, and turned away. Then he stopped, as if something had triggered his senses, and turned back to face the shattered window, stepping forward. There was a crackling sound from the vast bay, a blue shimmer, and the sleek, deadly shape of the Batwing appeared.
"Let's see you handle these," Batman's voice echoed through the bay, and two missiles streaked from the craft, detonating as they reached the window. Flames and smoke billowed, but the Dark Lord still stood, though his mask was shattered and torn away. His breathing was labored, but he reached out with both hands, as if grasping a heavy object. Twisting his arms back and forth, the Batwing moved with Vader's motions, the carbon frame protesting in harsh shrieks. In a burst of flame, the craft split apart--- but there was no one in it.
"What treachery is this?" cried the Sith, his voice hissing with each pained breath.
"Autopilot," came the reply. Two feet slammed into Vader's exposed breathing apparatus, as Batman swung up and into the room from below the gaping window. Darth fell backwards, sprawling across the floor.
The snap of a radio voice entered the room. "Hey, Bats, I got the kryptonite away. Supes is tearing through the walls to the reactor chamber. You done with the Heavy Breather yet? Over."
"Copy, Robin. Target down. Bat 2 is destroyed. Request a pick up in Bay 12."
"Roger that. On my way. Over."
Vader lay on his back, his hands struggling towards his own throat, eyes bulging as his life choked out, just as he had choked so many others.
Batman leaned over him. "You think I've never been thrown out a window before? Even the Riddler wouldn't have fallen for that."

LOL, love it Parzifal!

So, Darth broke the Batbot while Bats got Supes out of detention. I hope Batman made them take the traditional route out through the garbage compacter.

The saber duel was nonsensical.
Neat costumes though.

That version of Batman, he was a twit. Batman isn't about fancy gadgets and flashy toys.
The actual Bat would still be dead, but he might have done marginally better.

Vader finds him in the Force, Vader chokes him, Batman is dead. End of story.

This was done by the people at Bat in the Sun. They are found on YouTube and have done many battles. They announce the upcoming battles and ask for people to vote on who would win. I believe they film it with each side winning, they release it with the ending based on what the fans voted on. So the fans in this case voted Vader would be the winner. They do an excellent job at creating these fantasy battles in an entertaining way. Check out the other battles, I think there is a Gandalf VS Vader one also.

Vader finds him in the Force

Vader couldn't find a Force-sensitive farmboy, a smuggler, two droids and a Wookie when he was standing almost on top of them. Why would you think he could find Batman?
Batman's defeated all sorts of beings with powers far more phenomenal than Vader's, and better martial training, too. Vader is overconfident, used to telling underlings to do what he wants, and his martial abilities are clearly inferior to Batman's. Vader's use of the Force also seems highly concentrated against singular living targets (though occasionally he does as a young Jedi affect multiple mechanical constructs; perhaps aside from Force chokes, the "push" action is ineffective or prohibitively difficult versus living beings). In any case, Vader's combat opponents have seldom if ever met the level of combat experience and skill of Batman. It's one thing to knock about moronic droids and practically defenseless children. It's another thing entirely to face the Dark Knight Dectective.

Plus, don't forget Batman's Allies:

"Robin, what's our status? Over."
"Copy. I keep being shot at by these guys in white armor, but they're worse marksmen than the Joker's henchmen. And whatever that armor is, I so much as tap it with a batarang and they fall over. As for the others, Guy's playing billiards with the TIE fighters, Diana's got some silent guy in old armor tied up in her lasso-- and he still won't talk. And some scruffy guy in a vest just told Power Girl she needs a 'scoundrel' in her life. She punched him through a wall. Over."
Batman (to himself) "Sigh."
Robin: "Oh, Fire and Ice have found some seven-foot tall cross between a Yorkshire terrier and Bigfoot. Say they want to take it home. It's kind of creeping me out. Over."

Okay, maybe we won't consider Batman's allies. grin

(Yes, I collected JLI in the '80s).

I presume everyone is keeping up to date with Epic Rap Battles of History (they did Batman vs. Sherlock).

DsGilbert27 Nov 2014 1:20 p.m. PST

Sadly, I think not having Vader in the next Star Wars movie will hurt the movie.

Mithmee27 Nov 2014 1:33 p.m. PST

Thing is the Death Star blew up right after that.

Batman always has a plan.
