Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Weapon 1- Green Goblin. The Bat gauntlets aren't anything special- just armored up fists with some awkwardly placed spikes on it. The Green Goblin's claws not only make for swifter, more deadly attacks, but combined with Norman Osborn's superhuman level strength, speed and dexterity, he'll be able to crush Batman in a hand-to-hand encounter.


 * Weapon 2- Green Goblin. The special non-lethal gadgets will mostly be rendered useless against the Goblin thanks to Osborn's suit. As seen in the film itself, gas and smoke pellets will be absolutely useless against him, while distraction themed grenades won't serve much better. Meanwhile, Goblin can actually use his SH strength to hurt and kill Batman.


 * Weapon 3- Green Goblin. Pumpkin bombs vs. fists...? One of these weapons blows up buildings and reduces people to skeletons, the other gets the user's ass kicked nearly every time he's tried to use them. Need I say more?


 * Weapon 4- Even. The EMP gun doesn't seem very effective as it's never been shown to be used on anything to high tech or even useful. The Green Goblin's trident is just another melee weapon that will allow him to tear apart Batman up close, but from a distance, who knows what that "EMP" could do.


 * Weapon 5- Green Goblin. Razor Bats are somewhat capable of "thinking", can home in on targets, have been shown to continue Spider-Man through some ridiculous city-wide chases that imply a high level of self preservation AI or programming and sophisticated tracking and environmental awareness, due much more damage and are designed to kill. Batarangs are mostly for subduing, and won't do much against Norman's armor.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Green Goblin. This shouldn't even be a contest- Nolanverse is by FAR the weakest incarnation of Batman in his long history, by a significant margin. He's not all that smart, not a detective, a horrible fist fighter, has a weak arsenal of gadgets and is slow and wearing a bulky suit that doesn't defend well AND restricts movement. Green Goblin has superhuman strength, speed, dexterity, endurance and has far greater smarts, armor and technology levels. Norman's got a better array of weaponry and gear, as well as a glider, a far superior vehicle to Batman's own garage. Easy. Win.
