Resolved: In a fight with prior preparation, Batman would beat Ozymandias(Adrian Veidt)

I am fully aware that Bane has only broken Batman’s back once. The point of my meme was to show that Batman’s level of preparedness is highly exaggerated by his fans. If he was as prepared as everyone says he is, he would have been prepared for Bane on their first encounter, yet his fractured spine begs to differ…. Batman beating Bane other times doesn’t matter, it’s not that impressive to be prepared for something you’ve encountered before, it’s common sense, a little something I like to call, learning from your mistakes (2 year olds are capable of this). Argument 1. When it comes to the issue of who is more physically capable, I would have to give it to Veidt. If it came down to hand to hand combat between the two of them, I would give the fight to Ozy. YES Batman is an extremely capable fighter who has been trained In many different martial art forms, but we have to ask ourselves would this really be a factor in this fight? Ozy is at peak human form (1). It is even safe to say that he is above peak form. He’s caught a bullet with his bare hand, at point blank range, from the Silk Spectre (a trained vigilante). Now let’s stop and think about how amazing of a feat that actually is. The first point I would like to highlight is the fact that he was bare handed when he caught the bullet. Normally, a bullet at point blank range would go through anything from bone, to wood, to stone, and even metal. Yet, Ozy was able to catch one, and the only injury he sustained was a bloody palm. This attests to the durability of Ozy’s body. A bullet posseses far greater impact than a punch. If Ozy can take a bullet to the hand at point blank, he can take a punch from Batman. Let me make one thing clear; Ozy reacted to the bullet and caught it. It’s not that he was already in action before it fired, his reflexes are at the point where his body can move at speeds faster than a bullet. Batman does not punch or move as fast as a bullet; in other words, he will not hit Ozy. Last but not least, he was also able to predict where the bullet would be fired, and thus act accordingly. Ozy would likely see Batman's punches a mile away. He might as well have Spidey sense (exageration but you get the point). Batman has evaded bullets that he saw coming, and moved before the gun was fired, but he has never actually dodged one in the sense that he reacted to an already fired gun, and evaded the bullet. Batman has never caught a bullet, and has never been shown to be able to take a bullet (without his suit or any special gadgets) and suffer no serious injury. Argument 2. In a fight like this where prep time is given to both participants, intellect is a very heavy factor. Adrian’s IQ is stands at around 235 (2,6), while Batman’s is in the upper 100’s, 193 I believe. For those who are not familiar with how the intelligent quotient works, I will tell you that such a gap makes a huge difference. Genius lvl IQ is said to be anywhere from 140 (4,5). It is also said that two people with an IQ difference of 30 points and higher tend to view the world in a completely different way. “Not just politically differently, but coloring the way they interact with other people, their approach to problem-solving, their speech patterns. “ (6) Adrian is 42 iq points above Batman. Of course my opponent will attempt to cite the level of Batman’s preparedness in this debate, and that will probably be what he considers to be his strongest point. However, I am here to tell you that against such an opponent as Adrian, this will count for naught. When it comes to planning ahead, and being prepared, no comic book character stands out in my head more than Adrian. He is a guy who was smart enough to trick the world into peace. He outsmarted Dr. Manhattan, a guy who can see into the future, and is a near omniscient and omnipotent being. He played everyone on his team in such a way that furthered his plan. Everyone played their role so perfectly; they were like pawns in his hand. He even managed to devise a plan to destroy Dr. Manhattan, though it ended up failing, and was only able to dispatch of him for a bit, but being able to even come up with a tactic to defeat a guy with near unlimited power is an impressive feat on it’s own. Dr. Manhattan specifically said this to Adrian “Reassembling myself was the first trick I learned. It didn't kill Osterman. .. did you really think it would kill me? I have walked across the surface of the Sun. I have witnessed events so tiny and so fast they can hardly be said to have occurred at all. But you, Adrian, you're just a man. The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite. “ (7)If Dr. Manhattan calls you the world’s smartest man, then you are the world’s smartest man. Adrian’s attention to detail is near impeccable. He is able to watch a wall with over 40 tv screens on it, each showing a different image, while still being able to pay attention to and detect an attack from behind by Rorschach and Nightowl. He was also the only one with the observation skills and insight necessary to pick up on the subtle clues which showed that Dr. Manhattan is not completely devoid of emotion. He found what makes a god (for all intents and purposes) tick. If you don’t find this impressive then I don’t know what else to tell you. Argument 3. In his universe, Ozy stands far above everyone else, and is second only to Dr. Manhattan. The only person who ever handed him a defeat was The Comedian, and he has long since avenged that loss. Ozy is consistently supreme, and makes all other people he has worked with (genius inventors and brilliant detectives such as Nite Owl and Rorshach) seem incompetent. Sidenote: Money isn’t a relevant factor in this debate. I don’t truly know who has more money between the two, but they are both billionaires so it’s safe to say money is not an object. There’s really nothing that can be bought monetarily that these two can’t afford.1. . http://en.wikipedia.org...(comics)2. . http://sueniverse.wikia.com...4. . http://en.wikipedia.org...5. . http://www.iqcomparisonsite.com...6. . http://paradisa.wikia.com...7. . http://en.wikiquote.org...
