Just imagine how much these two have in common. They both lost their parents, and are now in control of a nearly infinite fortune.
Would they be enemies?
Or would they look at their respective cities and find a way to maintain order, as dark as that order may be?
Probably not, I think they would be like Iron Man and Doom and respect each other because of their intelligence
[removed]
Um Batman is incredibly smart, he would recognize Doom’s intelligence
I always thought Black Adam would be good to write with Doctor Doom.
I think R'as Al Ghul and Doom are more similar. They would definitely respect each other and also try to kill each other at the earliest opportunity when their goals don't align.
Doom would treat Batman with disdain initially but probably be forced to begrudgingly accept that he is formidable as an opponent.
Doom is a fascist dictator that rapes his own citizens. Why would Batman admire a rapist?
When does he rape anyone?
Super-Villain Team Up. You're welcome.
That doesn't answer my question.
Doom tries to rape the daughter of one of his workers in the comic book "Super-Villain Team Up". It's on Marvel Unlimited, you can read it yourself.
Well, the fun thing about Doom is that whenever he has done something that goes against character, it was a Doombot pretending to be Doom. This definitely qualifies.
Let's see.
He's a gypsy, his father and mother were killed by local dictator's army based on his hatred for gypsies. He never went to school, still somehow manage to self-taught to level of genius in technology in magic. He has personally protected citizens of Latveria and every time when "forces of good" took over the country it ended with disaster.
that rapes his own citizen
According to some lazily written old comics that no one cares about.
He's a gypsy, his father and mother were killed by local dictator's army based on his hatred for gypsies
His mother was killed because she casted a spell that killed all the children in a near village.
So, one day she has just decided to kill all children? Cool story, bro.
No. She performed a spell that went awry and ended up killing all children in a nearby village. If you doubt me, go and read the comics yourself.
As a Sorcerer Doctor Doom is second only to Doctor Strange. The only magic Batman knows is escape artistry.
As a scientist Doom has captured Galactus, gifted at least one human with cosmic powers, restored Franklin Richards mutant gene, and created robots with an AI so perfectly aimed to his brain that said robots are indistinguishable from the true Doom. Batman's an expert engineer, master detective, computer programmer/hacker, and capable of creating weapons that could (in theory) defeat Superman.
Iron Man loses to Doom nine times out of ten, prep time be damned. Batman can't reliably beat Zatanna without preparation.
As a versus; it's no contest.
As a 'would they be friends'; Doom has killed for so many reasons, good and bad, that Batman would hate Doom. Especially considering Doom's diplomatic immunity.
Why do people argue that Batman is too much, when humans from the Marvel universe can defeat Galactus and shit?
And batman has beaten darkseid. Idk what people are on about in this thread but Batman is insanely op for a "human" just like all comic humans. His feats are insane as well.
Has he? Batman shot a dying Darkseid stuck in the body of Dan Turpin. How exactly does that make him powerful? Any idiot can shoot a gun.
Because the rules are different.
Batman is supposed to be a street level crime fighter.
Doom is a prodigy of both magic and science who regularly buts heads with the Fantastic Four and The Avengers. Batman is supposed to struggle with a psychotic clown, or the Mafia. The rest of the World is supposed to struggle with Doom.
Also DC characters like Lex Luthor, Mr Terrific, and Ray Palmer are supposed to exist on the same kind of level as Doctor Doom and Reed Richards. Batman is supposed to be the greatest detective in the world, but they make him a genius in every discipline even though it doesn't make sense for the character.
And who made those rules? Who was it that decided that a human from the DC universe can't be more impressive than a beat cop, while humans from the Marvel universe can be stronger than Galactus?
Give me the name of the fool.
The rules were made over time by every writer that has worked on these characters.
Doom operates on the scale of Galactus because that's the scale the Fantastic Four operate at.
Lex Luthor operates on the scale of Darksied because that's the scale Superman operates at.
Batman operates at the level of criminals that rarely breach superhuman. He solves crimes and conspiracies while fighting henchmen along the way. That's the scale Batman operates at.
It just so happens that in an attempt to make Batman feel like an integral member of the Justice League, writers overcompensate and make Batman too big. It breaks the scale of his solo stories, and hurts the public perception of the character.
The rules are different, but writers make exceptions that don't work.
Batman has been a member of the Justice League much before Doom was even created. How come he doesn't get the rifht to be impressive?
Black Panther's biggest foe is Killmonger, literally a normal dude. Yet when Black Panther goes and defeats Galactus, no one complains.
Hawkeye's biggest foe is a guy with a sword. But you can see him every month in the Avengers book, fighting against Ultron and Thanos and whatever.
What have those characters done that makes it acceptable for them to do impressive stuff? What could Batman do to make it okay for him to be impressive as well?
Sure, one is a billionaire with fear of loss, the other the leader of a nation with a fear of failure. One uses technology to defeat some crooks and has a whole team in case of a cosmic threat, the other enslaved a cosmic entity just because he could.
Wouldn't be a good friendship.
An evil genius sorcerer and an billionaire techie? Maybe I’ve missed something here. Yes, they would definitely be on opposite sides of almost (outside specific arcs such as Secret or Darkseid Wars) every meeting
