Spoilers: It's Batman. It's always Batman.
thornlord
He's wrong, it's Mighty Mouse every time. Even against Squirrel Girl, especially Squirrel Girl.
DrHenryJonesJr
Is this a reference to something, because I can hear this very clearly in my head as if I've heard it before.
algavinn
No, stupid point. It means the fans are intrigued by the world the writer has created, including possibilities they didn't write.
Vempire
These are Half a BILLION dollar budget movies! Stop giving me sloppy contrived conclusions!
mrharryroks
I dont really like Stanley
ObiWanShalomi
idiot its tan lay's
alexonfyre
This is why no one likes marvel... Except their movies...
DukeDark
I don't like comics to begin with. But Marvel is so, so, so terrible compared to other comics.
TheGoatyGoat
Even their movies are shit since Disney bought them. Every film feels the same
Haddr
It's called "fun"...
Honest question: are you joking or serious?
Now I notice the quotation marks...I'm going for Joking.
No, I'm serious. Those "VS" discussions are just fun hypothetical discussions. the issue comes from those who take them too seriously.
Treefur
Fuck you, Stan. People enjoying a hobby and interacting with friends over it? How dare they!
TwoDogsFucking
Look...I simply won't listen to a man who rides the subway dressed like this:
HeraldOfTheBadger
But he clearly has quest critical information or goods.
ralmoly
Tim Burton?
redtruck
But that's Richard Petty..
SomeCrazyNerd
Even more reason to trust him. Mofos got style!
Treblaine
I almost misses this cameo.
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
TwoDogsFucking. My mom told me that joke when I was 16.
knynyda
The Terry Pratchett one? Bucket of water something something?
LarvaLamp
I first heard it as "Pooping Dog", but I was in third grade at the time.
tamalero
but that looks like Gary Oldman.
QueenCousland
You could say that about literally anyone.
therealVexed
frieken lol
Freeflare
I tend to disagree with that. You can railroad anything, but a decent writer should be concerned with parameters they've set for themselves.
heyimwalkenhere
James19961996
After all those years of being called "true believer", this is what you give me?
howaboutthisonethen
I mean it's fine to ask the question. It's just stupid to get worked up about answering it
TCGView
Hulk defeated Wolverine. Badly.
Mewmus
the ONLY way batman could ever beat superman is if the fight is COMPLETELY on batmans terms
Germykun
"butbutbut Goku can destroy Earth"
Stefanfr1997
Looking at you, Death Battle.
unclestankstank
These "versus" debates typically cover characters from entirely different works. Script writer does not control that directly.
fragtore
Mother fucking word. Those are questions for the schoolyard when you're 12
goflyblind
"the thing! is his dork made out of orange rock like the rest of his body?"
AlbinoRick
Holy shit I always thought it was factitous. 25 male and sadly an avid read :/
GuardsmanMiku
This is why I like one punch man. One punch man will always win because he's one punch man.
Jetz72
Lists of feats a mile long mean nothing against a guy whose very premise is winning every fight effortlessly.
the most powerful armour, plot armour
sigerFitRunner
Wow. He sounds like a guy that wants to retire.
gillfrost
Who would win in a fight, Stan Lee or 100,000 nerdy fans
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Goku would've won still.
Voidkilla
Webn8tr
EdwardSanders2808
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's ok and everything, but who would defeat the Hulk? like for real. Not just friends
The Wonder Twins.
Sturmgeschutz
Depends on what Hulk we are talking about
CyBercrook
Y'm glad you didn't limit to just the Friends cast because Monica would fuckin decimate Hulk.
AnythingMuchShorter
So you think she's more powerful than Red Ross?
How ironic is that the writers never get much popularity compared to the charecters they made, well on the other hand
You have to do a cameo in each movie just to let people know- hey its me i made these charecters, haha, im a legend (and probably an thief)
DiastaticPower
What a stupid response. I hope this isn't a real quote. WE KNOW they're fictional, but within the rules you've established, who'd win?
DefenderOfDog
The writer can grant any weapon so
iMuteMorons
You have to take into account, there's countless versions of each superhero from different earth's with varying ability.
Nottherealslimshadyjusthisbodydouble
The very next thing he says is "the winner is who the writer wants to win" or to that effect
kellogleo
That's his point. THERE ARE NO RULES. The writer will change whatever rule he wants so that the character he want to win, does.
svent
The problems are: (1) lots of the powers already don't make sense, and (2) even if they did, the scenario/context would be super important.
ArcaneConjecture
Squirrel Girl. SG gonna whup dat ass.
LordKrondor9000
There are established and permanent rules in comics? That's news to me.
fredgiblet
The "rules" change minute to minute.
etherbunny41
In a recent Screw Attack Death Battle, Scrooge McDuck killed Shovel Knight because of a thing he used once in a random comic.
EarlGreyOrDeath
the rules of which universe/spin-off/timeline/plot?
GiantRobotsRule
Batman.
Dick75
The answer is my character, Always wins man. He always win off camera. We don't see how but he does it every time.
retsaoter
Well Deadpool murdered the whole Marvel universe, including the writers.
HeyGuysAmIRelevantYet
There is a man with a typewriter...
abeardedblacksmith
So did the Punisher. Well, not the writers, but everyone else
iwanttomountndewya
So then the answer should be, yes, any hero with enough time could beat any other hero/villain
Xirema
Part of the problem is that often, those characters are operating under different rules.
yournudesarewelcomedinmyinbox
They'll just change the rules to make who they want win
their opponent is unbeatable, however the other person found this ancient relic that took away the opponents "unbeatable-ness"
1Plebian
The rules change WAY too much, just a constant stream of deus ex machina.
KadabraGuy
I see it all the time on the Death Battle! series. One time feats are treated as the standard. It's up to the writer to count it or not.
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
I've heard him say something very similar at comic-con when asked one of these questions.
The rules they established all include plot armor, so we can only go by feats of strength.
And then the Airing of Grievances!
Remember when hulk punched a planet so hard it exploded but the Veronica Armor was able to catch his fist.
Syllogismssuck
WELL. Looks like Mr. Stan Lee will be losing to Leatherboy in my next match up.
bagaault
Not if Stan Lee is into that sort of thing - that could be a very big win for him.

This just makes me question everything even more. Why? Just why?
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
BDSM guy mistook an ad for a superhero group.
natabus
He always "looses" to Leatherboy.
neil137
what's a leatherboy
Staebchen
Nothing much, what's a leather with you?
ZeroX54321
This is gold. I love it
Turtleproof
This confirms that Stan Lee comes from an era in America where people were relatively well-grounded in reality and didn't obsess over anime.
BillyMaysHereWithOxiClean
I mean, you're the one that mentioned anime, 'seems like you're the one obsessing over it.

You're the one obsessing over obsessing!

to be cranky.

STGxDante
Probably still butthurt about the Goku vs Superman thing. I know I am XD
IREALLYLIKEREDHEADEDWOMEN
Well Superman is the obvious answer.
ShadyC
Not to jump into this shithole, but... I feel like anyone who says Superman has an obviously poor sense of scaling.
TinyRiickkkk
I love anime, I love DBZ, but all the arguments pro-Goku, I can disprove mathematically, with references.
You obviously don't understand Superman, and that's the whole issue with the argument. He doesn't have limits, there isn't a scale.
But by default, is he not limited by sunlight? And, I guess, time spent absorbing? While any Z Fighter's strength is just their own selves.
And just watch anything Dragon Ball Super, the scale isn't anywhere close to an accurate measuring stick anymore.
It's literally just the styling of Anime that makes it 'seem' like characters are more powerful. Superman can physically move planets.
They could physically move planets from a very early stage, too. It's just not something that's ever said because that's a totally --
Characters were able to blow up planets from as early as the Saiyan Saga. From then onward, we've only gotten IMMENSE layers of multipliers.
If the "Goku vs Superman thing" you're referring to is ScrewAttack's Death Battle, then I MUST say that I FREQUENTLY have issues with them.
DakkaPakka
It's great conversation with friends n shit to have fun little arguments over silly things like this, no need to be so negative over this
SivoServoDommyDervo
fuk woo
I normally say "I am seriously not serious but serious about this topic" meaning not in a life altering way but in a fun way
I think he's talking more about the people at the cons expecting a super serious answer to that sort of question.
And knowing some would chimp out because I said anime, easiest trap I set all week.
RocketRodster
Let's talk about which Star trek characters we would sleep with. It will be the bestest
Nope. Anime is still terrible and so are arguments about who would win in a completely made-up fight between two completely made up ppl.
HenryDorsettCase
