User blog comment:Thundrtri/Collab with Pach! Arsene Lupin III VS Batman/@comment-4098900-20130517133529


 * The Arsenal: In the hands of Batman, I think the Batarang is considerably superior to the Walter P38.  The primary reason I'm saying this is not because they are a lot more versatile or stealthy.  It's because I've seen Batman take out firearms with batarangs multiple times.  Not only has he used them to knock guns out of people's hands, but he's thrown them directly into the barrel of a gun!  Combine that with the fact that he's able to dodge bullets at times, and I just don't see the Walter doing Lupin that much.  Even less if it's up close where Batman can disarm it pretty easily.

Edge: Batman


 * Bombs: Batman's bombs are non-lethal, Lupin won't use lethal ones against Batman. Batman's smoke bombs and flash grenades are a good way to stun or attack someone.  However, I feel as though Lupin's bombs may be a lot less predictable.  Such as that super-glue cigarette pack and many more.  While Batman's are very practical, Lupin's are very practical and unpredictable.  After seeing a couple of these types of bombs/ gadgets, I think Batman will be more prepared.  However, still not completely ready for all the whacky things he may have.  Still, Batman will know one thing he learned from Joker-expect the unexpected.

Edge: Lupin

*Gadgets: So Lupin has a lighter flamethrower. Batman's armor is made of nomex (and kevlar). Lupin has rocket shoes. Batman has a jetpack. I'm sure Lupin has plenty of other gadgets that counter Batman's gadgets/armor similar to what I just pointed out. Batman, after reading up on him and encountering him, will probably learn a lot about many of his gadgets and be prepared. Although Lupin may have some new ones, he may not. Because of this, I am giving a slight edge to Batman.

Edge: Batman
