In a battle of wits, who would win?

Sailor Mercury or The Batman? Discuss please.

I think Batman. I think that he's stronger than Mercury.

Starscream · Post by **Starscream** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 3:22 pm

I'm going to have to give this to Batman. Sure, Mercury is prodigious (sp?), but Batman has a much, MUCH broader world view than Mercury, having studied and worked in so many countries and, thus, being a lot more culturally aware than Miss Mizuno.

I hope you mean mentally, as the topic was "who would win in a battle of WITS".

And I'm in agreement with Starscream.

WOW!! I kind of thought that they would be pretty much equal in regard of inteligence, since they're both brilliant strategists! And as far as deductive abilities are concerned, The Batman has Sailor Mercury at a disadvantage.

Pitting Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth) against either Sailor Mercury or The Batman would be like pitting three Alderaaans against The Death Star.

Even though Batman is smart and has experience things around the world, doesn't Ami-chan have an IQ of like 300? If you ask me, that's pretty smart.

She does. But remember, The Batman also has an eidetic memory, has been thoroughly trained in just about EVERY subject, including Criminology. He's also a trained detective. Ami-chan is still in school, though.

having a high IQ doesn't make you smart in all areas. Ami's not wordly, and she doesn't have a lot of the experienced knowledge batman has.

Team Rocket are among the dumbest villains ever...

And I say Batman.

Same as Starscream, my vote is for Batman.

Merc may have raw intelligence, but Batty can dance circles around her if he goes into even the most basic of pop culture topics.

A lot of good the force did for those Alderaanians :)

Batman vs Ami.....hmmmm

My vote goes to Batman. I love Ami, she's really awesome, but Starscream put it best.

Ami is super smart, but has her nose in those text books way too much to really be useful in combat. You gotta be more well rounded and I love how Batman knows how to use the night to his advantage. I've never seen criminals flee in terror just from looking at Ami. Besides, Batman knows how to make an outfit like his look good.

And you just GOTTA like those "toys" read, weapons, in The Batman's Utility Belt!

Sorry, but Sailor Mercury IS a lot more formidable in battle in the manga than the anime. Of course the crooks wouldn't flee in terror from Ami, they'd fall in love with her.

Parallax does make a good point. Manga Ami is really good at the fighting. That would be funny though, seeing Ami being chased down the street by love struck villains.

However, I still go with Batman. Gotta love a guy who can pull off the tights look.

My vote is for Batman. He's much older and more experienced in everything (and I do mean everything ::cough:: ).

O.o; I'm no major fan of those Marvel heroes or villains, but I'm in just about the same league as everyone else when I say that Batman would plow Mercury to the ground, as much as I like her (though likes and dislikes have nothing to do with it...heheh...).

Well, it's not like they try to be evil or anything... (*cough* so says TR's biggest fangirl...anyone care to shoot me now? XP)

And what's an Alderaaan? I have no knowledge of old school Marvel, if that's where this comes from. But if it's from Star Wars, then I'm ashamed, considering that that the old school movies are among my all-time favorite movies.

It's from Star Wars, the Empire Blew it up with the Death Star because well... they're mean like that and Princess Leah lied to them.
