According to Bruce, he's MUCH cooler than James Bond.

Well it's easier to say your cooler than something when you're in the Alps skiing. I mean the climate there....

oh...NOW I get!

Oh, that JLI issue was great. Especially when they drew Bruce with his "Bat-sense" tingling! I missed it, but my loyal Spider-Man reading roommate caught it immediately...

Bond is cooler. You don't see Bond wearing a halloween costume.

One of my all-time favourite endings of a comic book is the JLA with the Injustice Gang where Batman figures out that Luthor is attempting to use corporate takeover strategies to defeat the Justice League and he says something like "Luthor's met his match because he's having to face...BRUCE WAYNE." I thought it was so awesome.

Bond is cooler. You don’t see Bond wearing a halloween costume.

I don't see Bruce Wayne using a gun, so I think that sort of balances things out.

Bruce is arguably not as much a misogynist, to boot. And not as calloused by his job (or at least tries not to be.)

Man, Amalgam was a great idea.

That's right, I said it.

I wonder if they'll revisit THAT for it's Whatever-Year Anniversary?

-M

Given that it was a couple years ago, probably not.

No no no no no no no

James Bond is cool...

cool like* BRUCE WAYNE.

Bruce Wayne is so much cooler than any of the competition, that HE should be the yardstick.

*"like", but definitly not "as"

"I don’t see Bruce Wayne using a gun, so I think that sort of balances things out."

Guns are more awesome then batarangs.

And I hate to say it... Casino Royale is more awesome then Batman Begins.

Bond fights Russian spies and internaitonal terrorists.

Bruce fights Arkham freaks, super villains, and occasionally kryptonians.

Bond has gadgets created for him by Q.

Bruce designes and makes all his own gear.

Bond has beautiful sophisticated women with cute names like Vesper, Pussy, Domino and Honey.

Bruce...well let's just say it: Selina "Catwoman" Kyle, Talia "Daughter of the Demon" Al Ghul, Diana "Wonder Woman" Price.

Bond is an agent for someone. He's the hired help, a weapon, a gun with a larynx (as Mark Millar would say).

Bruce is his own man. He answers to no one, plays by his own rules and does what he wants, when he wants, either as the CEO of Wayne Enterprises or as Batman.

Bond has nice cars.

Bruce has nice cars. And jets. And helicopters. And bikes. And jetpacks. And a tank.

Advantage: Mr. Wayne.

WELL SAID

"Bond fights Russian spies and internaitonal terrorists.
Bruce fights Arkham freaks, super villains, and occasionally kryptonians."

Supervillans don't exist in Bonds universe. He has to make do with spies, international terrorists and mad scientists. I'm sure Bond could take on Superman if he had to. All he needs is a kryptonite bullet.

"Bruce designes and makes all his own gear."

Most the time Bruce gets his equipment from WayneTech or has someone make it for him (like Harold or that guy from the cartoon). He didn't make anything in Batman Begins. Just customized it.

"Bruce has nice cars. And jets. And helicopters. And bikes. And jetpacks. And a tank."

Bond has had all of those things. He doesn't have to buy it he usually just takes it. Because he's that awesome.

"Bond has beautiful sophisticated women with cute names like Vesper, Pussy, Domino and Honey.

Bruce…well let’s just say it: Selina “Catwoman” Kyle, Talia “Daughter of the Demon” Al Ghul, Diana “Wonder Woman” Price."

Batman and Wonder Woman never happened. Outside pof Talia, Selina, Vikki Vale and Silver St. Cloud most of Batman's girlfriends are bores.

Plus comparing their last two movies Eva Green easily trumps Katie Holmes.

"Bond is an agent for someone. He’s the hired help, a weapon, a gun with a larynx (as Mark Millar would say).

Bruce is his own man. He answers to no one, plays by his own rules and does what he wants, when he wants, either as the CEO of Wayne Enterprises or as Batman."

I'll sorta concede this one. But even if Bond works for an agency he generally does whatever he wants. He can go around killing people, gamble and have NSA sex with beautiful exotic women. And he still gets paid for it.

Being Batman costs Bruce Wayne money.

Nope I won't concede. James Bond is way more awesome. Don't get me wrong Batman is awesome but Bond is better.

And you won't here Bond saying he's awesome.

only connery and craig are really cool. roger moore is a douchebag.

"only connery and craig are really cool. roger moore is a douchebag."

The above is the end-all, be-all of this argument. Nothing can trump it.

If that's true, why is On Her Majesty's Secret Service the second-best Bond movie (after From Russia With Love, by the way)? Didn't Lazenby have anything to do with that?

Guns are more awesome then batarangs

Where I come from, using weapons that don't kill effectively make you a hero and using weapons that do make you a jumped-up thug.

Advantage: Bruce, though I do prefer Casino Royale over Batman Begins (though I like the latter film very much)
