I don't think Batman, if killed, can fight his way out of hell and exact revenge. Kratos on the other hand...

Realistically (irony), Kratos.

Coolness factor, I say both.

Kratos gets my vote.

Batman wins.

Kratos is strong and fury is is strength, but against Batman, it will be a weakness. Batman fights against guys who have huge arrays of powers greater than him all the time. He's just an expert at this exactly. Batman could predict Kratos' every move and device a strategy to take him out.

Kratos kills Gods for a hobby. Batman has trouble against psychopaths with almost no powers or real strength.

This fight will be over before it even began.

I love how in any Batman vs thread there will be numerous "Batman because HES JUST THAT GOOD" answers.

Realisticly Kratos would win.

Unless Batman is packin' some Bat-anti-demi-god-spray!

Batman, here's why:

1. Kratos' strategy of "kill all the things" would be hard to perform on one man who's not giant and isn't constantly in front of him, as you know Batman would play stealth, something I haven't really seen Kratos fight in the GOW series (could be wrong though)

2. This is Batman's turf, and I'm sure he can use that to his advantage, he'll probably trick Kratos and mess with his head, since the guy's not too bright, I feel like it would leave him open to a few good shots.

3. He has his vehicles. Even Kratos would get fucked up by taking a Bat-plane to the face. Again, this is Batman's turf, so if positioned right, he could probably make it hurt.

4. If there's no body, it's not Batman's concern. How many times in the cartoon and comics has an enemy just disappeared after a fight? Now how many times do you remember Batman saying anything other than "fuck that, I'm not gonna find them". Similarly, early Batman villains would die after a single issue, and Batman really wouldn't be concerned, because he didn't pull the trigger. In fact, he would make jokes. If Kratos were to fall 100 ft deep into the ocean pinned under the Batmobile, I think Batman would probably just have a good laugh about it with Robin.

5. He's already been educated on who Kratos is. That means (let's assume someone gave him a pretty detailed Wiki article) he knows Kratos is a loose cannon, he knows what Kratos is packing, and he probably knows what to expect. Even if it's out of his league, and he has no way of countering it, it's not like he's gonna be dumb enough to give Kratos the opportunity to use all of these. He's gonna use the stealth strategy above. Would Kratos wreck right through buildings? Yes, but again, mind games. Batman's got plenty of MacGuyver devices that could throw Kratos off his scent.

6. He's the God Damn Batman.

Intelligence or not, I would think that Kratos wins solely due to the potential of his strength and powers. Batman is indeed calculating and intelligent, but in the end it won't be enough to win over someone like Kratos.

There seems to be some sort of misconception regarding Batman, going around the internet.
Batman doesn't lose, ever. He can beat Superman, he can beat Darkseid, he can beat anyone.

Batman Vs Possibly the most unlikeable cunt in the video games.

Batman.

Yeah...it's not like Bane ever broke his back or anything.

Exactly. As yourself: Who would win between Bane and Kratos? Then you get an idea of how Batman v Kratos will turn out.

Based on just pure strength I would say Kratos, but Batman even has ways of dealing with Superman if he ever turned against humanity.

So 95.5% Kratos.

This. Kratos has literally been to hell and back. Batman is a rich guy who likes to play dress up and pretend to be a hero. If Zeus couldn't beat Kratos, then what chance could Batman possibly have?

Looking back on it, this statement pretty much just won the entire argument.

kratos would destroy batman. it wouldn't even be a fair fight. that's like putting ichgo against spiderman.

As far as I know, Batman's still walking around kicking everyone's asses, including Bane.



Why even participate in the thread if you have no idea what you're talking about?
Batman's been to hell. Batman's been all over the universe. And to parallel realities. And traveled through time. And he's beaten every opponent placed in front of him, demon, devil, alien or demi-God.

Batman of course.

Sure Kratos is stronger and more powerful but Batman is far more intelligent. Batman once defeated the Hulk through a simple planned strategy. If Bats could do that he could take on Kratos.

Exactly. Batman isn't a man, he's the ULTIMATE deux ex! (Eat it scarlet witch!)

But Deux was a fraud. It made me hate the movie Bloodsport.

I suppose I deserved that after belittling him. Batman is alright. I don't like him but I don't hate him. But honestly he couldn't beat Kratos. It doesn't matter how cunning Batman is Kratos is relentless. Kratos will just keep coming back again and again. No matter how cool you think Batman is he couldn't beat Kratos.

Batman people underestimate intelligence in a battle, not to mention, Batman is no weakling.


Small rebel factions and smaller nations have beaten global powers by using unorthodox means of combat and intelligence, this is a similar concept in the sense that the people with the better bombs and more numbers don't always win, there's more to a fight than who can be the most aggressive and who is the most powerful.

Another example, there are tiny martial artists who can defeat giant 300 pound body builders in a fight, they don't try to overpower them, they rely on other means to shut them down. Every opponent requires a different strategy to defeat.

Intelligence can only get you so far when you're up against a fallen god who killed the God of all Gods, slayed titans, can fight his way back from Hades, and has nothing left to lose.

Intelligence, in that case, would tell me to not bother fighting him. Fighting Kratos, he'd be the "Damned by the Gods" Batman.

One that separates Kratos and Batman from one another, is that Kratos doesnt give a damn about the life of his enemy. Let's face it, Batman would spare Kratos and end up having one of his limbs removed for making that mistake.
