JLA vs. The X-men

[Anubis]

So would just about anybody.

 

[MagicPrime]

Well you have to think first off - very rarely will Batman just wade into fighting with opponents he's not familiar with. And it would be very much like him (especially if he is with the JLA) to just kinda slide back into the shadows and watch/study. Even if time permits go to the watch tower or Cave and do a little reasearch. But we have gone over all this before.

So what you're saying is that Batman runs away from fights, basically.

 

[Flash Facts]

Everybody knows that. Batman would probably just throw stuff at him until one of the other members of the JLA come around and one one shot him.

He who fights and runs away lives to beat the crap out of you when they are good and ready.

I love how fanboys assume while Batman is "prepping" all the other heroes and villains he faces will be sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.

*shudder*

A lot of people get this wrong. Wolverine is super strong, however the vast majority of this strength goes towards dealing with the fact that his bones are laced with "really f***ing heavy metal" (over one hundred pounds to be exact). His talents aren't so much 'super strength' as 'super durability'. You see most weight lifters have to deal with the fact that if you apply enough pressure you bones can break...something Wolverine doesn't have to worry about. Simply due to the punishment he can put his body through he can lift more than the average athlete. However, I have never seen him do a feat that Captain America (Steve Rogers) couldn't or hasn't duplicated.

They won't?

 

[CaptainClown]

ya I kind of thought they would have their thumbs up their asses

 

[Damiean Dark]

people forget about wolvies intelligence hes no batman when it comes to overall knowledge (imo) but he is pretty close in over a hundred years of living must have picked up a lot he also he isnt just a wade in kind of guy (though admittedly he has been portrayed as such in recent times) he has stealth abilitys like a ninja helped by his inhanced senses of hearing smell and sight.

 

[Flash Facts]

Just because someone has been alive a long time doesn't mean they are smart.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Wolverine possesses intelligence that is well above average. He speaks 7 languages fluently, 3 more passably. He has training in the CIA, armed forces and as a samurai. Above all he is cunning. His intelligence level is a 3, or gifted.

 

[Damiean Dark]

^Yeah he has the grim "im the best at what i do, and what i do aint pretty" atitude but he is highly intelligent.

 

[Flash Facts]

Speaking a lot of languages doesn't make you smart either. Most of what you said has to do with experience not intelligence.

Anyway I have a question what exactly happens to Wolverine's intellect when he goes feral and starts living in the woods and stuff like that?

 

[CaptainClown]

he becomes one with nature, then seeks a woman in heat

Yea, just because person A speaks Italian, French, English, and Russian doesn't make him more intelligent than person B who only speaks English. Speaking several languages shows him to be educated, not "omg genius right there, no one can out think this dude in a fight with some tactic".

Not saying that means Bats pwns Wolvie off the bat...but come on...I've been reading non-stop crappy reasoning as of late. Let this thread die. Please.

That is like saying because Hawkman has lived for at least 3 thousand years, he should never get outsmarted or approach something new to him.

 

[CaptainClown]

well language is a bit of a touchy subject, and for some is really easy to learn. If you learn languages at a young age you have a better chance of learning it rather then learning it when you are older. oh well (shrug)

 

[Damiean Dark]

Its not just language wolvie is overall an intelligent guy he is like bats in a way he has travelled the world and learnt a lot of things has worked with sheild, the canadian secret service and the shiar empire and has fought against the likes of the hulk and omega red one on one and survived to tell the tale. intelligence seems to be batmans one ability where he has wolvie beat in many of the guys on these boards eyes and i say the gap between them isnt as great as some might think they are very close actually with bats beating wolvie in some areas and wolvie in others.

 

[KAD]

Just because someone has been alive a long time doesn't mean they are smart.

True but if the person is very active it means they are experienced

 

[Czar Colossus]

Intelligence is related to ones ability to learn, while experience contributes to wisdom. There are a lot of smart youngsters who have not the wisdom of older folks.

 

[Damiean Dark]

Wolvie is smart and has wisdom.

 

[Anubis]

About Beer and Jailbait maybe.

 

[Damiean Dark]

whatever he owns batmans ass.

When Wolverine builds something remotely as complicated as the Brother Eye then you will have me convinced.

And the ability to learn several languages, especially late in life (as Bats and Wolvie did) speaks volumes for one's intelligence. No one is taking away Batman's intelligence, but I would say that he and Wolverine are not as far apart as some may think.
