User blog comment:MilitaryBrat/Batman (Nolanverse) vs Red Skull (MCU)/@comment-11107842-20130626021909

Ok... my vote goes for Red Skull here, no doubt. A lot of people seem to bringing up Batman's EMP gun as a counter to most of the Red Skull's weaponry. However, I disagree. The Death Ray pistol is powered by tesseract inspired technology, and I don't think it can be shut down by a standard EMP gun. Even then, Batman has to hit skull before skull nails batman. And even if Batman DOES manage to disable skulls insta-death pistol, the skull still has a luger than he can use to shoot Batman in the face (givn the dark knights habit of standing still and monologuing raspily). And, even if THAT failed, the skull is super-human and smarter, and should easily be able to beat Bruce in close combat, (especially considering Batman's no-kill policy). I am bamboozled as to how Batman has gotten this many votes, Red skull, no contest.
