10 Times Batman Fought Well Above His Pay Grade

Batman, King of the Pyrrhic Victory.

DC ComicsDC ComicsAlright, we get it, he€™s the goddamn Batman. He can beat the snot out of anyone with enough prep time, techno-wizardry, and the aid of an aging man-servant and a twelve year old. The Dark Knight is a superhero €“ that we know €“ but he is still a mere man who deals with street level thugs. That said, he often finds himself mingling with other villains (and heroes) who are far more than just mere mortals. As a result, he often ends up fighting against people he has no right being in the ring with. From winding Wonder Woman with a kick, to punching Orion in the face, to duking it out with Superman on countless occasions, the Caped Crusader has €“ somehow €“ managed to come out the other side with his cowl intact (most of the time). This list is to recount just such times, when even being the world€™s greatest detective just shouldn€™t cut it €“ but it does. As always, comment below with your thoughts and list any we missed!

Spencer is an avid lover of storytelling and cinema. This likely began in a simpler time when watching Indiana Jones kick the snot out of Nazis and pretending to be a velociraptor were standard fare for the day. He’s absurdly opinionated and somewhat stubborn, qualities only mildly offset by his awareness of his own insignificance. Spencer is nearly always restless, but he'll settle for food, friends, and a good pint anytime.
