10 Times Batman Won A Fight He Should Have Lost

By Tom Baker /

5. Whenever He Fights Killer Croc

During his early appearances, Killer Croc was just a colourful nickname that stuck to a burly criminal with a skin disorder which made him look a bit scaly and scary. In post-Crisis On Infinite Earths continuity, meanwhile, he€™s literally a giant mutant man with sharp teeth, impenetrable scaled skin and the like. He€™s a half-man, half-crocodile. Meanwhile, despite his name, Batman is not half-bat, half-man. He€™s just a dude, of regular size and slightly above average stature, with a belt full of Bat-Shark Repellents and the like. And yet Killer Croc is never considered anything more than a C-list villain at best, often escaping to the sewers to be quickly dispatched. There is no way Batman should be able to win any fight against Killer Croc. He is a giant crocodile man. As soon as he gets his hands on Bruce Wayne€™s frail, delicate, fleshy body, he should just bite his head off. No matter how fast Batman is, he can€™t hurt the guy with scale armour all over his body. He just shouldn€™t be able to win.
