Who do you think would win in a fight, Batman or Monkey-Steals-Peach Karate Instructor? We will assume modern-day DK Batman, not Silver Age Batman nor Michael Keaton, and the Instructor in his peak form in 1976, battling in modern day New York City. They are allowed to use whatever is in their home, dojo, cave, whatever, and cannot ask for assistance from Superman or Bruce Lee.
Let the debate begin.

I have to give it to the karate guy, since he has access to this move, which is not documented on any computer. it has been passed from master to master, and Batman cannot used his computer to master the technique.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the 2-tone breastplate gives Batman the clear advantage. This picture doesn't provide a clear depiction of the area, but I'm not aware of a peach between Batman's legs.
ReplyDeleteWell, a quick Google search reveal that the codpiece, like the rest of his armor, is an individual piece of fiberglass and metallic mesh, covered in knife-resistant nylon. However, the peaches-grabbing technique has been used for centuries and orignated as a defense against samurai warlords, who had also considerable armor in that area, I imagine. Let's consider that this was practiced by followers of the "Iron hand" style, and it was called that for a reason. These people were breaking boards and concrete like it's nothing, I doubt if his his fiberglass could stand up to that at close range.
ReplyDeleteWait, are you referring to the armor as it existed on the set of the movie? Are we talking about Christian Bale, the actor, dressed in a Batman prop costume in a fight against a trained karateka? You're changing the rules.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm talking about his real-life armor.
ReplyDeleteHis real-life armor consists of over 200 pieces of fiberglass, metallic mesh and nylon.
ReplyDeleteI'm prone to believe that "knife-resistant" goes a long way toward "hand-resistant" and perhaps even more toward "peach-grabbing-hand-resistant"
ReplyDeleteAnd we're talking about Batman, not Christian Bale. And for the sake of the arg, here's the text from the picture: "Whip the arms as described and strike the enemy's groin with the open palm, fingers bent at the first joint in a Monkey Paw or Tiger Claw fist (fig. 74). The impact will lift the enemy off the ground. Those skilled in chi kung can direct energy up the Ch'ueng Mo channel of the body and stop the heart. Followers of the Iron hand styles immediately clench their fists tightly, with a crushing grip, and jerk the hand sharply back to the near hip, effectiviely ripping away the genitals. massive blood loss causes death."
ReplyDeleteJust as a sidebar, can you imagine if Batman was to get trained in this technique? His power would be ten thousand times the power of any creature that ever existed and his every breath would shake the cosmos and electric chi kung fire would spew from his fists, possibly destroying man's ability to think and feel anything except insane Awe. All men and women of the earth would bow before him and he would radiate so brightly that the sun would start crying at the sight of a creature of such pure Power and Grace, a being of Ultimate Authority who we would praise and love.
ReplyDeleteI'm a deep-seated believer in the ancient Asian schooling regarding energies and channels such as the Ch'ueng Mo channel which adds fuel to this fire.
ReplyDeleteI bet Batman could beat her in a fair fight.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do without you two?
ReplyDeleteYes, but does either of their opponants go blind from pure awesomeness? my bet is on the dragon warror. The rest are just a bunch of Nancy's.
