So Goku vs Superman has been done to death, but what about pic related vs Batman?

Unless Batman has a power ring or prep time, he gets stomped
Honestly I'm not convinced any amount of preptime could beat Hokuto Shinken
Yea, it's pretty unstoppable, plus Kenshiro isn't a dummy, he'd figure something out.
They wouldn't fight because they're both heroes retard.
Batman would be already dead before he figures out what's going on.
Hellbat suit might do it. I think it was built to handle Omega Beams but I could be misremembering
i'd say it would be a pretty even fight
any of the two could win depending on the circumstances
Batman is pretty op, he fight against gods who go beyond limits of reality like superman.
Kenshiro uses pressure points, would pressure points work on batman's suit made out of whatever god beating crud he can get, might as well be made out of adamantium.
Not to mention batman knows several Chinese/Asian martial arts and he kind of knows some pressure point fighting as well.
Not to mention kenshiro would have to dodge batman's batarangs, find batman as he uses grappling hook, gas bombs and shadows to hide/move in.
Depends on whether Lin's in danger
Kenshiro is both immune to damage and has minor existence erasing. He stomps, and does it hard.
Ahhh, here's the Bat wank
This thread is going to be fun, I can tell.
Batman’s prepared against tougher
Just keep him occupied while you somehow dig a big hole. Push other combatant in hole. Cover with plywood and sand.
You can't have a Batman vs thread without it!

>batman vs kenshiro
wouldnt iron fist be more appropriate?
I can't see batman winning a straight on fight with Ken
Hokuto Shinken is basically Martial Arts Toon Force.
Anyone have that comic where Karate Kid, Ryu, Iron Fist, and Batman are Kenshiro's students and Batman is super pissed that he can't lift boulders like the others as a part of a warm-up?
Well, you could have Ken roll into Gotham, do his usual thing and have Bruce go after him because Ken's usual thing involves a lot of killing.
Trouble is, Ken only really kills because he's in a post apocalyptic shithouse. Put him in a major american city with a jail system and he'd probably just act like a fairly normal citizen.
Maybe if he said YES SENSEI like the others, he would've been pumped up enough to do it.
After internally blowing up a criminal's limbs or hitting a ki point that makes the permanently retarded or something. It's a killing art, but it has some very specific non-lethal moves if it needs to function as such.
Bless you, user.
Ken can shrug off anything short of an explosion. I think he can handle Batman easily.
The question is, would he want to?
>even though it's the post apocalypse, kenshiro never taught bat and lin any self defense techniques
>bruce keeps teaching martial arts to kids
wtf?
Hokuto Shinken IS preptime martial arts. seriously, all those filler eps have kenshiro doing shit that's oddly appropriate for the filler villain in mind. who the heck makes a technique that makes people hug each other to death?
youtube.com
A sadistic man with a sense of humor
Hasn't Ken killed people who have survived direct nuclear blasts?
Ironic deaths are pretty much part of the Hokuto Shinken skillset.
Batman literally said "you're mine" when he was about to be hit by Darkseid's Omega Sanction after being attached to an Apokoliptian machine designed to put a living parasite in his mind only days after being drugged, beaten to a pulp, had his mind shut-down and buried alive. After being hit by the Sanction, Batman was sent back to the stone age and had to fight his way back to the present day and from the end of time, where he almost died again. As soon as he returned he fought the 99 Demons and an immortal mad scientist. And Batman had a plan for every single one of these instances. Kenshiro is fucked as soon as he crosses Batman.
>Hokuto Shinken is basically Martial Arts Toon Force
A wonderful description. It can do anything, so long as it results in a Ken win.
If it isn't the apocalypse, he'd more than likely adhere to the laws short of outright murder, but that won't stop him from say, popping off Penguin's hands when he tries to pull some umbrella trick or Joker's lower jaw because he "talks too much," especially since as and said, he has a really sick sense of humor. However, if innocent lives are at stake, I doubt he'd give much of a shit if Batman jaws off about no killing. He already saw the consequences of letting really shitty people go just so they could cause more trouble, and he committed himself to not letting that happen again.
Batman wins, lol.
>ken actually didn't mean to do it and just has shitty aim with weapons
Well he did teach Bat some techniques, Bat knew enough Hokuto Shinken to make Lin forget about him so she could be with Ken. I really wish they had gone with Bat becoming the next successor after Ken.
Batman aint beating him.

I know it changes the context, but I think the movie version of this scene is pretty funny. the nonchalant way rei plants it in the mook's head, the mook acting like someone pulled a prank on him, it all just works so well and always makes me chuckle. The dub ramps up the one liners and the cheese, so it hold a special place in my heart.
>technique that makes people walk backwards uncontrollably
>technique that makes the user shoot themselves
>technique that allows him to replicate any move he's seen perfectly, even from opposing schools, he mostly uses Hokuto Shinken because it's just that awesome
>technique that shifts your body to another plane of existence, technically unbeatable unless someone else uses the same technique, or an "evil" version of it
>technique that emits an aura that straight up kills people, it's just pure "fuck off" energy surrounding a person
If they figured that the dumbasses that pushed the button would actually go through with nuclear war, they'd have made a technique to purge radiation poisoning from the body, but I guess Musou Tensei kind of deals with that.
>Name your favorite Hokuto Shinken move!
>Hard mode: No Muso Tensei or energy moves
Gotta go with the iconic Hyakuretsu ken myself. Versatile and stylish, it invented the punching barage.
>they'd have made a technique to purge radiation poisoning from the body
if a genius like Toki couldn't figure it out, no one can. and he's supposed to be the most talented man in the history of Hokuto (developed his own hokuto style).
Nah, Kenshiro could have done all that and kill Darkseid on top of it, then he would weep manly tears for Darkseid and see the hidden nobility in his soul
he was capable of love after all.
Please, Jagi could take Batman
If he weren't dying, he or some other HnK practicioner down the line would have figured it out eventually, they were all relatively young by the time the the bombs fell.
Plus there actually is a Hokuto Shinken cartoon.
I'm just kinda curious, not trying to be a shitter, but why are people interested in what superheroes Batman can and can't beat? He either loses or pulls inexplicable Macgyver bullshit to win.
Like yeah, a kryptonite ring could be in his belt, but it's so often just dumb shit that any character could do, they just give it to Batman for his fans.
I don't hate Batman either, but I think being in the DCU tends to water him down by pitting him against shit that that he can only logically handle with 'preptime'.
The fact that his nemesis can and does get ripped apart by other DC characters on occasion doesn't help. I just don't think the DCU does anything positive for Gotham and it's characters.
>Like yeah, a kryptonite ring could be in his belt, but it's so often just dumb shit that any character could do, they just give it to Batman for his fans.
You already said it, he and his supporting cast are DC's moneymakers.
This
or Courage vs Gromit
Gotham is off limits somehow for the rest of the DCU. Batman told Superman to fuck off when he tried to help during no man's land.
>DD hokuto no ken doesn't have the staying power of TTG.
>It's a killing art, but it has some very specific non-lethal moves if it needs to function as such.
Yeah, but Ken would pop a repeat escapee killer like Joker's head open, no matter the circumstances and you know it.
>Ken pushes a pressure point that makes you experience pain when you laugh
What would Joker do?
Kenshiro makes it clear that he only acts because there is no one else who will. He'd leave the Joker for the police if there were police around to take him.
>DD Hokuto no Ken has it's time and moves on
>TTG stays long past a welcome it never had.
CN pushed TTG despite everything and forced anyone watching their network to watch if almost 24/7. No matter how you feel about DDHnK, at least it had it's time slot.
Of course he would, he knows when to temper his violence, but he stops fucking around completely when innocents are in danger.
Not before leaving him a limbless nugget. Kenshiro knows when to leave things in the hands of others, but he's not stupid enough to let Joker continue being a threat. He'd leave things in the hands of the police the first time he deals with him, but would straight up kill Joker the second time.
Batman one-shot him with a bullet that kills gods. Ken is rekt, bro.
Stomp doesn't even begin to describe what Kenshiro would do to Batman if Batman doesn't pull some bullshit out of his ass
He's fast enough to punch the guy before the sword finishes rotating. What's so toon force about this specifically?
>guns
>stopping Ken
Omae wa mou shindeiru
Batman will only win if he pulls out the crazy-ass shit like a power ring, the hellbat suit or that dreadnough-looking mech he used once, anything else and he's toast.
Everyone tends to forget that kenshiro is indeed a master assassin, so sneaking up on him is nearly impossible.
The suit is a valid point but ken already dealt with wacky gadgets like those, and batman's pressure point knowledge is not in the same ballpark or is even the same dang sport compared to ken's
This is fucking absurd and hilarious.
Should I watch this? I'm tempted, even though I absolutely hate anime. Fug
Would armored suits really mean jack shit, Ken breaks metal and stone with his fists
i dunno man, i agree with ken letting criminals go (even when he just punishes them a bit) has bitten him in the ass enough times. for fuck's sake jagi's entire existence was that for a few years of his life
yeah, i said that in the odd chance that he had some crazy batwankium or whatever other wacky material suit that would be super durable. most of his suits would be as effective as a shoestring budget cosplay suit
>Batwankium
This is stupid, why not just accept that comics have a wide range of power that can be obtained? Just because Bruce is able to create insanely powerful suits doesn’t mean he’s a bad character.
No, armor doesn't mean much against Ken.
