Batman vs Invincible
There had been plenty of Batman that has beaten Superman. But how about Invincible? Can any iterations of Batman beat Invincible?

- Invincible doesn't have a kryptonite weakness
- harming his family only makes him stronger
- even a virus meant to kill viltrumites, Invincible just took as a flu

guy's totally haxx maxxing. Except for being an emotionally unstable h0rny teen, Invincible has zero weaknesses for Batman to exploit (which is kind of a bummer, he's literally a mary sue).

Everybodys gangsta until Bats starts laughing.
Batman is merely a millionaire with gadgets.

There are superheroes that are actual superhumans, or not even humans.

That being said, Batman is my favorite superhero of all time.

Batman got a lot of money. If he hires an intergalactic mercenary like Battle Beast then Invincible gets the ♥♥♥♥ kicked out of him for the 2nd time.

batman is "just a man", but he is also one of the most intelligent (and crazy prepared) people in the dc comics universe. he always has plans in place for anything, even for his fellow heroes, even for himself.
Can Invincible do this? I'm a bit skeptical.

Invincible is probably stronger than Darkseid, and the only way Batman has beaten Darkseid in the comics is through plot armor. In one example Batman uses "Godwave Goggles" to trick Darkseid and send him back in time so he could manipulate baby Darkseid.

If that all sounds really rubbish to you, that's because it is. That's how much the author had to reach and clutch at straws to make Batman win against Darkseid.

Invincible would rip Batman's arms off and then use Batman's arms as clubs to beat him to death.

have you heard the term "batman creep"? it is being a play off of the term "power creep". batman started with very clear weaknesses in early comic appearances, he was just a man with a lot of money, tools and a strong sense for justice. slowly (probably since the 90s when "the dark knight" persona started becoming more popular), batman has "crept" into becoming unstoppable.

despite being a mortal man with no powers, he is being the smartest and most well prepared person in existence. he outsmarts deities, ageless beings, darkseid level bad guys all by himself and with little trouble. i do kind of wishing that batman would be scaled back a bit again, but i think the "batman creep" phenomenon is because batman is so popular, and readers are liking to see him excel at everything. but i personally find it kind of boring, and by making him so "unstoppable" it takes away tension.

Invincible being invincible doesn't make him a Mary sue, it's literally the premise of the story. That's like saying one punch man is a Mary sue lol

he is not invincible even in story though, he regularly gets his arse beat, especially early on. that is just his superhero name. but yes, i know what you are saying. even if he was truly "invincible", his superman-like invulnerability would not be making him a mary sue.

I think it would be interesting to see batman study someone and come to the realization "I can't beat this guy" and have the maturity to acknowledge that and seek superman's help or something. But it would put a ♥♥♥♥♥ in his armor and he would no longer be a lone wolf character, so maybe fans wouldn't like it.

Yeah, you get my point. Mary sue characters ruin stories but these stories wouldn't be the same without their over powered main characters.
Invincible is literally a discount superman bro, batman negative diff him.

in injusice he made alliance and seek weakness, he study his opponant, the guy is good to know people psychologie, what they love and dislike, which people love or hate them

so if you let batman play long game he going to convine invincible to kill each other, especially younger member, jeasousy is alway human weakness to made good people to do very bad thing
