Conan the Barbarian vs Batman

[MichaelC]

No weapons. Who wins?

[Francisco]

The Barbarian ends what Bane started. Stronger, tougher and meaner. He is a cymerian, strongest fighting man on Earth.

[Carabas]

Cymerians never encountered the Gothamites.

been a while since we've seen conan on here.

what's his feats again?

[Captain Morgan]

I vaguely recall Conan being the really strong, at least approaching CBPH. But I doubt he has the speed feats to hang here. And pressure points will likely offset his soak.

what's his feats again?

He can wrestle apes, break men's bones with startling ease. Is very fast and cunning for being such a brute. Became a king by his own hand via military and politic skill (in time) Fought lovecraftian monsterrs ( his author was a friend of Lovecraft so H P approved) And has survived being poisoned and surrounded by monsters in a underground dungeon thing.

And strong enough to load siege weaponry by himself before using it and other stuff.

He is like Bronze Age Batman who actually kills people without a costume.


Edit: And also out fought Viking style frost Giants at one point.

Is this the comic version of Conan, the book version, the movie version, or a composite? I suspect that comic version has enough feats to make the best showing here.

How's Batman as a martial artist and strategist these days?

[Carabas]

And if comicbook version, which comicbook version?
The Marvel and Dark Horse Conans are rather different.

Agreed. Conan has survived being crucified on more than one occasion. The guy is inhumanly strong and completely ruthless to his enemies.

[Carabas]

I think with bloodlust on, being ruthless is pretty much a non-factor.

[Captain Morgan]

Agreed. Conan has survived being crucified on more than one occasion. The guy is inhumanly strong and completely ruthless to his enemies.

On the scale of comic book injuries, being crucified doesn't actually sound that bad. Batman has gotten his arm snapped, his eyes blind, and a chunk of wood through his torso and go on to outlast the guy who did it to him.

On more than one occasion he's been starved, tortured, brainwashed, deprived of water or rest, and still gone on to accomplish immense feats like beating down mobs, bench pressing 600 pounds of dirt to get himself out of the grave, and more.

That's before you touch on speed, where we have a pretty ludicrous list of things from Batman, to skill, where Batman knows comic book pressure points that turn off limbs with a touch and what not. Being ruthless is meaningless in a bloodlusted fight. Now, maybe Conan has actual feats that make him competitive here, but so far no one has mentioned any.

Marvel's version has fought Captain America.
