    Default BatFamily vs. Eobard Thawne (READ OP!)

    Scenario: In Rebirth's Batman #21, Eobard Thawne attacked Bruce in the Batcave. Bruce was able to last for around a minute before being defeated. In this battle, it's the same set-up with Eobard appearing from out of nowhere, and very importantly, messing around. But this time, Bruce happens to have the current team from Detective Comics with him. This means that at his side are: Batwoman (Kate Kane), Cassandra Cain, Azrael (JPV), Batwing (Luke Fox), and Clayface (Basil Karlo).

    This is NOT a thread to determine who would win. Even with some of the biggest powerhouses in the BatFamily here, they realistically don't stand a chance of beating Eobard. (If you can come up with way you think they could, go for it.) Rather, I'm curious to see how long people think the team could last. Bruce lasted around a minute, but how much of a difference would his allies make? That's for you to decide!

    Everyone has their standard morals and personalities. And likewise, everyone has their standard equipment. Also in this scenario, Barry isn't showing up, unlike the comic.

    For extra fun, if you have an idea, explain how exactly you think the fight would go.

    ENJOY!

    Plus neck snapping wouldn't work on Clayface.

    Bruce and Kate would probably go down first or at least he'd toy with them while he takes apart the other team.

    Azrael and Batwing's armors give them some advantage, and Luke might have some kind of tech designed for Speedsters, but I don't see them holding their own against Thawne for long or being able to get a good hit on him unless they could effectively slow him down.

    I see Clayface trying to consume or attack Thawne and Thawne just vibrating himself to dissipate Basil into a pile of goo.

    Cass might be able to catch Thawne's blurs with her trained eye, but I don't think she's fast enough to counter his moves. She might be able to surprise him with her reflexes, but that's it.

    even messing around, they really can't do jack against him. at least not enough to make this a contest.

    Yeah, the actual question has nothing to do with the Bat Family themselves and is really "How long does Thawne let them live for?"

    As soon as he gets bored, it's over in a microsecond.

    Here's the problem: you are asking us to turn on PIS. And we don't do that. We can't, really, because it would mean that we could say something wholy idiotic, like "Batman wins." Or "Batman manages to stab a paying-attention Zoom in the foot." And nobody wants stuff like that.

    Pretty much. The question is basically how long the fight lasts if Thawne screws around and plays with them. The only possible answer is: As long as Thawne wants it to.

    Batman lasted a minute but, as we all know, the pico-second Thawne wasn't playing anymore, it would be over minus P.I.S.
    Power with Girl is better.
