10 Comic Characters Who Have Beaten The Batman

4. Predator

Batman Beat Up
DC Comics

Batman has fought the Predator multiple times now (three, not counting further crossovers with Superman and the Justice League) but he very nearly didn't survive the first occasion.

Completely unprepared for his otherworldly opponent, Batman is utterly trashed by the Predator and almost killed in the process - left in a full-body cast and unable to answer Gordon's multiple calls on the Bat Signal.

You know what comes next: after a little prep time, Batman returns and (with some help from a mecha-style suit and Alfred's trusty blunderbuss) defeats the alien menace without too much trouble. Thankfully, Arkham's cell space is saved by a traditional Predator suicide bomb, and Batman's reputation makes a full recovery.
