[knapplc]

NOTE: If you don't know one or the other of the candidates, a short description is below to help you decide. I highly recommend that you also see the Wikipedia biography on each character, to help you make the best decision possible. If you are still at a loss, Google is one click away. YouTube is also a handy source of character videos...


Name: Batman
Occupation: Dark Knight
TV Show or Movie: A multitude of appearances in a multitude of media

Description: The Defender of Gotham City needs no bio, he needs no introduction, he needs no supporting information. He is Batman. From comic books to cartoons to movies, the Dark Knight has defended the defenseless, keeping his beloved hometown safe from a variety of arch-criminals. No “super” hero, Batman has always maintained his humanity; suffering, noble, charitable - Batman is more than just a hero with a tool belt.

VS


Name: Maximus Decimus Meridius
Occupation: Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, Gladiator
TV Show or Movie: Gladiator

Description: Maximus was one of the Roman Elite – a prominent figure in the Roman Army, friend of the Emperor, loved by those who knew him. His courage and strength were put to the test when he was cast out by the Emperor’s son, nearly slain and forced into a life of bondage as a gladiator. Rising quickly through the ranks he made his way from the backwater parts of the rural Roman Empire all the way to a prominent role as “The Spaniard” in the great Roman Coliseum itself. There he gained fame and ultimately met his persecutor face to face on the sandy floor, where he avenged the murder of his wife and son by killing the Emperor.

I have to take Maximus here. He's such a BAMF.

Ouch toughie. REALLY tough. I think I will go with the underdog Maximus though to make things interesting. This would be a fun battle to watch.

[SeaWolf]

Batman will kick some Maximus booty.

Well I thought I might make it interesting going for Maximus, but not so. Batman will still kill this it looks like.

For me, Batman's had some tough matchups. I hate voting against him, but I keep finding myself doing so. Such is the case here.
