[The NZ Natural]

"sticked" to making pizzas", eh?

You're a real Rhodes scholar, aren't you son?

 

[That-Guy]

Batman.

highlander not only posts gay sex stories, he makes sexual suggestions to animals... and you know, people that suggest that stuff are probably doing it themselves. you're on a role highlander. keep up the sexual misconduct and you'll make it past wacko jacko himself.

 

[Gainsboro]

So all Italians join the mob and make pizzas?

I'm reporting this.

Highlander....
You are going on probation because you clearly don’t tolerate anyone’s opinions but your own.

Maybe a month from SHH will let you learn a little that because someone’s ideas, although you may not like are ok.

Just keep your nasty and condescending comments to yourself.

that's made my day worth a giggle.

How about instead

BATMAN vs PUNISHER vs PREDATOR

Why stop at a 2 way cross-over when a 3 way cross-over would be so much more fun

Did I mention a HARDCOVER book

Thank you, Malice...

Oh, and...

Please tell me you were joking.

Thanks, Malice. Highlander's nonsense was getting out of hand.

Batman would TEAR his hairy ass apart.

Does it really make Punisher any less frightening just because someone else could beat him? I know if I was selling coke to little immigrant kids and Punisher walked in wearing his trench coat, i wouldnt be like "Oh wait, it's just Punisher. Hahahahaha, at least it's not Batman."
I mean, geeze, Batman would just tie me up and leave me to the cops, Punisher would kill me

 

[Balthus Dire]

Batman did beat Frank, if I remember correctly.



Pun had a short cameo in a Batman series, and Batman kicked his ass. Even though Frank owns Batman, I think they've met once and Frank lost.

Thank you, Balthus...

The answer to this HORRID TOPIC has been found at last!

 

[Punisher]

This topic seems familar... let me elaborate on Balthus Dire's post...

In the Punisher/Batman crossover (the one with Bruce Wayne, not Azrael), they did fight, most notably at the end of the book when the Punisher is about to put a bullet in the Joker, after being involved in a firefight and a lengthy chase.

In the end, Batman shows up, grabs the Punisher's arm as he's about to fire and tells the Joker to run away.
Even though the Punisher had been shot in the arms, and was losing blood, he punches Batman in the face, he takes another swing and Batman shoves him into a bunch of boxes in the alley. Batman tells him to leave Gotham. The End.

That's about it. Their first battle ends essentially in a draw (A collapsing ceiling ended that battle) and the final battle has a wounded Punisher fighting a healthy Batman.
The whole book was pretty anti-climatic.

Chuck Dixon wrote that Punisher/Batman crossover and it's pretty obvious that he wasn't interested in writing a Punisher that was a major threat to Batman, in fact, his Punisher seemed to be more brawn than brains.
I've never been too big a fan of Dixon's later work on the Punisher.

If anything, I'd say that the final outcome really depends on who is writing the book. For example, if Garth Ennis, Carl Potts, or Mike Baron were writing such a crossover, the Punisher wouldn't have come across as a chump and Batman really would of had a fight on his hands.

I wonder if there's ever been a good crossover. I guess Wolverine and Punisher have good chemistry so there's a good one there

 

[Punisher]

Actually, the first meeting between Wolvie and Punisher in PWJ was pretty good and I've enjoyed Punisher crossovers with Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and Daredevil in the past.

The problem with most intercompany crossovers is usually the older, more popular character will have the edge in the storyline.
If Wolverine would have crossed over with Batman, I'm sure Batman would have been able to beat him.
Of course, we all know that Logan would turn Bruce Wayne into Batmeat.

Back in the early 90's, I would have loved to have seen a Spawn/Punisher or Spawn/Ghost Rider crossover. That would have been fun!

 

[fluxuk]

i can't be bothered with crossovers. they're always sales related, and boring.

 

[Punisher]

The other problem is that the intercompany crossovers really need to be done in alternate continuities like "What if?" or "Elseworlds" where the chances of any character surviving or winning is up in the air.

The reason they get boring is because they maintain the status quo, Batman can't paralyze the Punisher, he can't shoot Batman in the face, the Joker won't die, etc., etc.!

It would be cool if the characters were really allowed to let loose, while being created by established creative teams familar with the characters.
A Frank Miller/Garth Ennis' Batman vs. Punisher would sell through the roof and be a great read if it was out of continuity like "Dark Knight Returns".

 

[fluxuk]

i think just let Miller loose. he could eat Ennis for breakfast.

2 excellent posts with several excellent points Punisher...

I completly agree with you on the else worlds idea though...then we could actually have a decent Marvel vs. DC cross over, or a punisher vs. batman and so on and so on...

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Miller wrote a pretty decent Punisher in ASM Annual #15....be interesting to have Brian Bendis take a crack at Frank Castle, too.

 

[Loner]

He already did in Ultimate Marvel Team-up.

So now that this Batman topic is getting too big, can we start a new one? Like Punisher vs...umm.. I dont know, who's a good one that would make a bit of sense?
