Batman vs Po - Who Would Win

Batman vs Po - Who Would Win

There have been some intense battles throughout history. However none will compare to this. Today an answer asked by people for thousands of years. Who would win in a fight between Po from Kung Fu Panda and Batman from … Batman.

 

These are two very similar characters making this a very even battle. Both lost their parents at an early age. Both are awesome. They are overflowing with similarities but we will start with The Batman.

 

We all know Batman. Perhaps the world’s most popular superhero, Batman is the persona taken on by Bruce Wayne is Gotham City. After seeing his parents murdered at an early age, Bruce trained himself for years into the peak of Human condition. He donned the costume of a bat to project his own fear of the small mammals onto his enemies. Batman has accomplished some incredible feats, far beyond that of a human being and was described by Superman as the most dangerous man on earth.

 

Batman’s is a highly skilled fighter. He has a training regime to keep himself at peak physical condition and has the physique and ability of an Olympic athlete. On top of this he is a highly skilled fighter. He has somehow mastered 127 different styles of martial arts and is also a master of pressure point combat. As well as being an expert in martial arts Batman is a master in stealth escapology. It is said in fact that given enough time he can escape any trap and he is so gifted in the arts of stealth thanks to his mastery of ninjitsu he can easily sneak around super powered foes. Despite possessing no superpowers, his abilities are about as close to superhuman as a normal man can get.

 

Batman’s biggest strength however is his mind. Batman, despite wearing a costume shaped like a bat is a genius.  Hi IQ is likely to be in the region of 190 - 200 but more importantly he is a master strategist. Given preparation time Batman is capable of defeating any opponent, enemies far more powerful than any human being could possibly hope to be. Batman’s other greatest weapon is fear. The idea behind his costume is to project fear onto his enemies and the sight of that pointy eared cowl can send criminals cowering into the night. He is also brutal in his actions. Because of a morale code he refuses to take a life but he is perfectly fine with inflicting intense pain on his enemies. He is highly skilled in ‘interrogation’ and can quite easily get information out of others. The Batman is determined and has a far stronger will than most and will always refuse to be beaten.

 

Batman would be incredibly threatening if he ran around lycra but he has a high tech suit and a wide array of advanced gadgets. The Batsuit is made of a Kevlar thread with carbon nano fibres, making it light but also very tough. This makes it bulletproof and resistant to knife attacks, as well as shielding Batman from heat and electric shocks. Naturally it also shields Batman from physical blows but is still light enough for him to perform his array of martial arts techniques without and difficulty. His cowl contains night, infrared and ultra violet vision as well as technology in one of the ears to keep him in contact with his allies. His cape can be expanded and be used to glide through the air and finally he has his famous utility belt that holds everything Batman could ever need, except for the keys to his mansion.

 

Batman has a very versatile set of gadgets. Perhaps most iconic are his batarngs, a bat shaped shuriken. He has more than just standard metal ones however though, he has ones that inflict electric shocks, some can completely immobilise people and some are even remote controlled. For easy travel he has his grapple gun which allows him to grapple onto a large variety of surfaces. He can grapple enemies and pull them towards him with the bat claw, put enemies to sleep with bat darts, remotely blow stuff up with explosive gel, and a variety of tools for breaking into secure places. He carries smoke pellets for a quick getaway and also possesses shock gloves that can administrate an electric shock to anything he punches. These shocks are so powerful they even stopped the heart of one of his most powerful enemies, Bane.

 

Batman is sounding pretty invincible but he does have his fair share of weaknesses. He is still a normal man and therefore has the same weaknesses. Without the suit he can be vulnerable to attack. He also isn’t exactly mentally stable. I realise this isn’t particularly obvious for a man who dresses like a bat, witnessed the murder of his parents and has 12 year old sidekicks dressed in bright green and red but he is actually quite messed up in the head. However this rarely affects him and Batman is without doubt a match for almost anyone.

 

It was prophesised that the Dragon Warrior would obtain the power of the Dragon Scroll and become a master in Kung Fu. In China the true Dragon Warrior was revealed, a panda named Po.

 

Po is a good natured and kind individual. He is easy going, selfless and actually a lot of fun to be around. He also makes a killer bowel of noodle soup. These are excellent qualities to have nut they do not lend themselves to being a great warrior. Fortunately for Po he is in his own words “Totally Awesome!” and he is probably the greatest Kung Fu master in all of China.

 

Po is highly advanced in Kung FU, despite his young age. He has mastered advanced techniques few other have and can quickly and easily learn these techniques. He uses Kung Fu Panda Style and uses it to great effect. Despite his size and weight, Po is incredibly agile. He moves incredibly quickly and is excellent at dodging and blocking his enemies blows. Despite his agility however Po does possess immense bulk. Being so generously proportioned means he can easily take many blows without issue. He took a multitude of hits from Tai Lung who is practically super human and he even survived a direct hit from a cannon ball shot from close distance.

 

Po’s greatest strength though arguably is how easily he can improvise. It may not sound as impressive as some of his other skills but Po can easily adapt to whoever he is fighting against. He is also great at using the environment to his advantage, as proven while keeping the dragon scroll away from Tai Lung. He excels in using his opponents strength against them. Po has also conquered his inner demons and achieved inner piece at a young age. Po is highly skilled and can take on anyone in a one on one fight.

 

What weaknesses does Po have? He can be rather childlike and immature at times. He can also be stubborn to the point of endangering himself. His other big weakness is he’s not exactly subtle. Being a panda makes him not great in the stealth department, so he’s better off not battling Batman in the shadows. Despite this however, Po will be one of Batman’s greatest ever opponents as he is truly awesome!

 

Who are you expecting to win here? AI bet about 98.6% of you think Batman will walk this. Don’t be so sure. In a straight up fist fight, Batman would be completely annihilated.  While Batman has mastered 127 martial arts, including Kung Fu, not only has Po gone beyond mastering this fighting style, but his way of fighting is unique and I’ve already discussed how well he can adapt to his opponent. Not only this, Po is far more agile than any human being and being a panda makes him stronger. Yes in a simple fight Po would beat Batman … but this isn’t simple.

 

Batman is smart, very smart.  Far smarter than Po, he would not risk this in a simple brawl. With smoke pellets, a grapple gun and bat darts Batman could easily escape Po. The dragon warrior is very in tune with his surrounding, having master Kung Fu and inner piece but Batman has used stealth to sneak around super beings with super hearing. Batman doesn’t need long, his knowledge of pressure points would immobilise Po and even his bulk is unlikely to protect him from shock gloves. Po isn’t the smartest thing in the world and could be confused and tricked by Batman’s use of stealth and fear. Batman would bring the dragon warrior down before Po could even retaliate. Po is powerful, but he’s not diverse enough to fight Batman outside a simple brawl and Batman would never resort to this against a superior fighting foe. Po is awesome, but he’s not Batman which is why the victory goes to The Batman.
