    Exclamation Superhero Showdown #4: Batman v. Moon Knight

    Batman, aka Bruce Wayne: millionaire, detective, crime-fighter.
    Moon Knight, aka Marc Spector: millionaire, detective, crime-fighter.

    The abilitites of Batman are well documented, so I need not go into them in depth. Needless to say, he is one of the best martial artists in the DC Universe.

    The abilities of Moon Knight are not as well known. He was a former mercenary who died in Egypt, and was ressurrected as Moon Knight. Like Batman he has lots of gadgets, a base, and vehicles. He is in peak, physical condition and a superior martial artist. However, he is not as proficient as Batman.

    I should add that Moon Knight aquired some moon-like powers later on in his career. His strength increased during the phases of the moon. He was at full strength during the full moon.

    I give it to Batman, even if Moon Knight had his super powers. He is also a better detective. I would guess he is richer too.

    First of all, I like Moon Knight as well, Having said that: I think Batman is going to not even show up, you will be dealing with Nightwing or Robin probably on this fight...

    batman vs. moon knight

    I really liked the Moon Knight character once Marvel added the "moon-powered" abilities. I think he was called the Fist of Konshu, or something like that. To me, Marvel finally attempted to separate Moon Knight as something other than a Batman knock-off.

    As far as a fight goes, sorry not even close, Batman without even breaking a sweat.

    Moon Knight struck me as not just a Batman knockoff, but more of a Batman parody. At least when I read it, during the Moench/Sienkiewicz days, he was a little more crazy and a lot more pathetic than Bats. Good series, though. Weird but good.

    Poor Moon Knight... even Marvel (or at least it's head editor) doesn't like him now, and the writers never seemed to know what to do with him beyond Batman style forays.

    Multiple Personality aside, I think I would have liked him more if the writers could have ever settled on just who Moon Knight is.

    Like others, I'll give it to Bats. Not impossible for Moon Knight to win, just very, very unlikely IMO.

    Ha Ha! Robin! Alfred with a MOP! LOL!

    I actually liked Moon Night better BEFORE he got his moon powers. He was like a Batman that wasn't quite so larger-than-life. Kind of like Daredevil, but without the hyper senses.

    As far as who would win, I go with the 13 year-old girl Robin from Batman Returns. Slingshot to the nut sack, and the game's over.

    Knowing Batman, he'd do research on Moon Knight before engaging him in combat. Then he'll learn about Moon Knight being at his peak during the full moon. Then Bats will wait until the next new moon before proceeding to humiliate Moon Knight.
