  • Batman is often treated like a god among mortal superheroes by dedicated comic fans.

  • After all, he's basically a genius ninja detective billionaire with enough money to build weapons

  • designed to beat the most powerful heroes and villains in the DC Universe.

  • Still, comics writers like to remind readers that Batman is totally capable of having his

  • bat-butt kicked up and down the streets of Gotham.

  • Even though he always bounces back, let's take a look at some of the heroes and villains

  • that have destroyed Batman.

  • Bane

  • Let's start with the obvious one: the big bad guy that beat Batman so badly that it

  • made the evening news.

  • In the summer of 1993, DC kicked off a major Batman event called Knightfall, in which Batman

  • becomes burnt out after Bane releases all of his greatest villains from Arkham Asylum

  • at once.

  • While Bats is overworked and overstressed, Bane discovers that the Dark Knight is Bruce

  • Waynewhich leads to a violent showdown in the Batcave.

  • Things don't go well for Batman: Bane dominates the fight against a weakened Caped Crusader.

  • He lifts Batman over his head and brings him crashing down over his knee, breaking Batman's

  • back and putting him completely out of commission.

  • It's become such an iconic takedown, that it made its way to the big screen in The Dark

  • Knight Rises:

  • It really is the most devastating hit that Batman has ever takenbut it's not the

  • only one.

  • Superman

  • Even within the ridiculous medium of comics, where anything is possible, it takes a lot

  • to believe Batman has a realistic shot at defeating Superman in a one-on-one fight,

  • but somehow, Batman often seems to come out on top.

  • Often...but not always.

  • There was the time villain Maxwell Lord made Superman hallucinate that he was battling

  • Darkseid in a gladiatorial arena, when in reality he was beating on Batman so badly

  • that Bruce ended up in a coma.

  • In the story Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, Batman is planning to attack Superman with kryptonite

  • only to have Supes literally blow the rock out of Batman's hand, then pound Batman to

  • within an inch of his life, again.

  • Or how about the time an alien parasite called Blackrock took over Batman's body, granting

  • him superhuman strength, flight, and a whole lot of crazy?

  • Even fighting a Batman with super powers, Superman was able to punch the parasite right

  • out of his body.

  • By the way!

  • Punching is typically not a good solution for dealing with parasites.

  • Wonder Woman

  • In the 2016 graphic novel Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia, Batman is on the hunt for a woman

  • responsible for the deaths of sex slavers and drug dealers in Gotham.

  • And she just so happens to be the very same person Wonder Woman has been honor-bound to

  • protect.

  • When the two titans of the DC universe collide, things get uglymostly for Batman.

  • Diana beats him into submission and stands with a foot on his head.

  • If that isn't the ultimate symbol of Batman getting owned, we don't know what is.

  • He escapes by invoking an Amazonian ritual, but it's a pretty close call.

  • Prometheus

  • Though he's a villain you don't hear much about

  • "Oh no, Promootheus!"

  • "Prometheus!"

  • ...Prometheus is Batman's twisted mirror image, and in an even more literal way than Joker

  • or Two-Face.

  • Batman's family was gunned down by a street thug, but Prometheus' parents were criminals

  • killed by the police, leading him to swear vengeance upon those who attempt to bring

  • justice to the world.

  • Like Batman, he's a trained fighter, he's filthy rich, and he's got a sharp mind.

  • But despite sharing the same name, he has very little to do with the Prometheus who

  • makes an appearance in the Arrowverse.

  • Prometheus masquerades as the hero Retro and walks straight into the Justice League's Watchtower

  • with a helmet that grants him the skills of the 30 greatest martial artists in the world,

  • including Batman.

  • He then beats the snot out of everyone, and his trouncing of the Justice League only ends

  • when Catwoman whips him in the nethers.

  • Deacon Blackfire

  • The Cult is one of the darkest, most brutal stories in the Batman canon, thanks to the

  • vicious Deacon Blackfire, leader of a cult of Gotham's homeless, who've been brainwashed

  • into doing his murderous bidding.

  • During his investigation into the cult, Batman is captured by Deacon's forces and spends

  • a huge chunk of the tale being torturedand kissed gently on the cheekwhile high

  • on psychotropic drugs.

  • It's all an attempt to brainwash Batman into fighting for Blackfire's underground army.

  • Batman's eventually saved by Robin, but not before being reduced to a sobbing husk of

  • his former self, and having his entire worldview shattered.

  • The best part?

  • Robin finally gets Batman back for all of those meme-friendly slaps to the face.

  • Blackfire isn't even the only opponent to use drugs to take down Batman, either.

  • Swamp Thing

  • You might think that Swamp Thing is a joke, and if you've ever heard his old cartoon theme

  • song, you wouldn't be wrong.

  • "Swamp Thingyou are ama-zing."

  • Bad cartoons aside, Swamp Thing isn't just one of the most fascinating characters in

  • all of DC comicshe's also one of the most powerful.

  • In fact, he's won pretty much every fight he and Batman have gotten into.

  • When Batman chases Killer Croc into Swamp Thing's… uh, swamp, the big green guy takes

  • out Bats with a puff of hallucinogenic pollen.

  • The most memorable beatdown happened in Swamp Thing #53, when the muck man's wife is in

  • police custody and he responds by turning Gotham into a jungle.

  • When Batman confronts him, Swampy divides himself into many Swamp Things and just beats

  • the snot out of Batman like it's a gang initiation ritual.

  • Poor Batman never had a bat-chance.

  • Deathstroke

  • Slade Wilson is one of the deadliest characters in any comic book universe, regardless of

  • the publisher.

  • He was the world's greatest killer even before the government experimented on him, making

  • him even deadlier.

  • One of his first fights after getting his own comic book in the early '90s was with

  • Batman.

  • At this point the Dark Knight was already something of a legend, able to defeat any

  • foe that crossed his path.

  • So, it was kind of a big deal when Deathstroke and Batman threw down in an old-school fistfight,

  • and Deathstroke beat him into unconsciousness by tossing him into a bookshelf.

  • The only reason Batman is alive today is because Deathstroke spared him, and they ended up

  • hanging around together for a couple of issues afterwards.

  • Lady Shiva

  • The assassin known as Lady Shiva is one of the greatest martial artists in the world,

  • according to Batman himself.

  • When she's not an ally of Batman, she's kicking his butt, like in the pages of Nightwing #0,

  • when Shiva did battle with both Batman and Dick Grayson at the same time.

  • She downed Batman with a poison-tipped shuriken, then beat up Dick until she felt sorry for

  • him, and offered to train him.

  • He declined, but it was Lady Shiva's influence that convinced Dick Grayson to stop being

  • Robin and become his own man.

  • It was then that he decided to become Nightwing.

  • Not too many career decisions come from watching someone beat up your dad, but heycomic

  • books are weird.

  • Joker

  • Crushing Batman psychologically and pushing him to the edge of his own sanity is the Joker's

  • primary objective, and the list of Joker's offenses is disturbing and endless.

  • But the only time that the Joker has been able to completely destroy Batman was when

  • he stole the awesome power of an interdimensional imp.

  • Using the abilities of Superman antagonist Mr. Mxyzptlk, Joker warps reality to kill

  • Batman over and overuntil Superman makes him realize that even though Joker is all-powerful,

  • he just can't bear to let go of Batman.

  • "No, you... you complete me."

  • Darkseid

  • It's not surprising that someone like Darkseid, who's basically a god, can take out a flesh

  • and blood mortal like Batman.

  • What was surprising, however, was just how Darkseid did it.

  • During the Final Crisis storyline, it looked like Darkseid simply fried Batman to a crisp

  • with his weird eye lasers.

  • Of course, no one really ever stays dead in comic books for long...

  • As it happened, Darkseid replaced Batman's body with a dead clonefooling Superman

  • and most of his Superfriendsand sent the real Batman traveling uncontrollably through

  • time.

  • Why would he bother with all of that?

  • Because Batman was turned into a weapon, whose forced time-travel adventures threatened to

  • undo all of reality.

  • Eventually Batmanwith a lot of help from the Justice Leaguemanaged to escape back

  • to the present day without destroying all of existence.

  • Still, the important thing to keep in mind is that he got his butt kickedand all

  • it took was a single glance.

  • "Holy spontaneous combustion!"
