So this week in a real DC comic Black Canary beat Batman in a boxing match... and of course the internet is doing it's thing and becoming insufferable over two fictional characters doing a thing in a reality rooted in magic, aliens and Iron Bru that can bring people back from the dead.I've been raged baited by many a comments section successfully, so here we go...Black Canary could take Batman in a fight. Not just boxing, but in most forms of combat.This bullshit about Batman basically being the perfect human is boring and makes his character boring, even more so than this prep-time joke. Having him admit this and show he's not the best at certain aspects of his life (or at least isn't as good as someone else) doesn't cut the almighty batman off at the knees... it provides him with depth and a fucking character that isn't 2 dimensional.Dinah Lance is a fucking badass and these cucks on the internet best understand that by this point, along with the fact that Batman isn't meant to be some kind of perfect god-like figure.I say this and the entire rant given above not as a gripe to add to the pile-on of this discourse or side-picking going to bat for my favourite character and becoming a hypocrite, but rather just a rant of why 99.9% of the population's only writing credit comes via a comment section and not in a meaningful or creative way. Everyone's a critic, but it doesn't make them a good one.Or in simplistic terms this entire thing boils down to this equation... Batgod = Boring.Well done rage baiters, you got me.Now if you'll excuse me, I obviously need a coffee pronto.CC

Side tangent from a piece in your rant: The thing that has always annoyed the hell out of me with the "prep-time" argument is that they only ever give Batman prep-time. If prep-time's a factor, the other contestant would be able to prep against Batman as well. That, or they're conceding Batman absolutely can't win so they need to give him an unfair advantage to have a chance (even though they don't have the critical thought to realize that's what they're claiming).

I generally agree with your view. Although I do think Bats would win a boxing match. It suits him, he can apply mass and strength that canary couldn't match. Rules based procure where the one who can take the most smacks in the head wins. A real fight? Canary. But in essence, Bat God is boring.
