2. Can it be
Richard Chamberlain Vs. Adam West in the roles.

I think that would be a lot more fun. :-)

4. No guns allowed, Batman. Hands down.
Both have the martial arts skills, but Batman has his toys and equipment and a few other tricks up his sleeve. And his ninja sneakiness. Bourne's tricks usually rely on his surroundings. And as soon as Batman figured that out, he would be smart enough to corner him in a place that wouldn't allow for most of those tricks.

6. i think it'll be closer than you think
Batman would need to isolate Bourne in an objectless room and then hope Bourne doesn't steal any of his gadgets.

11. Oh, even in an objectless room Bourne could come up with tricks.
They just would be tricks that didn't involve objects. :P

I still think Batman would take him in the end though.

14. Bourne will steal a gadget or two and hold his own
If Batman does win, he'll be pretty beaten up

5. Jason Bateman, of course.


He combines the best elements of both Jason Bourne and Batman, all rolled into one.

7. Bourne is a bad ass but Batman has too many high-priced weapons

9. I thought it said "Jason Bateman or Batman," at first,
so I'm going with: Jason Bateman.

10. You can even give Jason some guns, and the Batman will still kick his ass

12. I think this one would be close...
Heck, the fight scene alone would last half an hour. But it would be worth seeing.

13. Bourne, all the way
Batman relies too much on his gadgets. Hand-to-hand fight, Bourne wins easily.

15. Batman FTW!
Batman was trained in all his disciplines by the best. All he cares about is being the Batman. Think of it: a super wealthy, incredibly brilliant, handsome son of privilege risk everything time and time again for his cause. Wayne is the mask that Batman wears so that he can continue his war.

Bourne just wants to be left alone.
Batman...is nucking futs.

17. Batman is an incredible fighter, but only against people wearing absurd costumes
It's a well known fact that if you wear normal clothes and go by your birth name rather than some tangential gimmick playing off of your physical deformities, Batman won't even bother to hit you. Man's gotta have rules, after all.

20. Juvenile domination fantasy. A real superhero would reason with his enemies.
Most supervillains could probably be neutralized better with a warm, gentle hug and a chance to really be heard.

19. Batman! Are you kidding me?
When Bourne has a bad-ass car, and can scale up and down shit, then we'll talk.
