Revealed at the end of Red vs Blue. The next DEATH BATTLE is going to be between Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) vs Spider-Gwen (Gwen Stacy).These two skilled fighters with police detective dads have taken up the Spider Mantle and the Bat Mantle and next DEATH BATTLE they will clash to see which one is the superior combatant.

As for my own personal thoughts on this DEATH BATTLE - eh. I think Jolyne Kujo would have been better for Spider-Gwen and Kim Possible would have been better for Batgirl but that's my own personal opinion. I get why they are doing this as a DEATH BATTLE though.

Who do you think will win this fight?

I don't know enough about Batgirl. Usually when people pit Superman v Batman, people talk about Batman's resources, his ingenuity, his "time to plan" allowing him to fight against a superhuman.

Does Gordon have similar strengths?

Once can bench press a car, the other has nightsticks.

Seems fair

If Gwen a robot or a cyborg it would actually be fair. Cause Batgirl as Oracle was the best hacker in the DC. But that is probably been reconned to hell

It should be noted that Gwen technically has a symbiote now (she lost her Spiderpowers thanks to Cindy Moon). It's likely going to be permenent and Symbiotes to have a weakness to sound and fire so Batgirl could take advantage of that

I don't see Batgirl taking this. The Batman secondary characters don't have nearly as many stories as Batman himself involving them finding ways to defeat meta-humans. Even in Nightwing's case most of the time he's facing super humans he has a team with him rather than doing it himself.

If Gwen a robot or a cyborg it would actually be fair. Cause Batgirl as Oracle was the best hacker in the DC. But that is probably been reconned to hell
She is Oracle in Batman right now actually, although probably just for a couple of months alongside her solo ending and before a new Batgirl book is announced for March.

Stepping back into that role recently actually. There's some tension there as to whether it will be temporary or more long-term what with Alred gone and all.

I think this weaknesses would be pretty bad against a close range fighter like Spider-Gwen

Neural Implant: Barbara had experimental surgery after her shooting. She has a neural implant at the base of her brain that connects to her lower spine, which bypasses the missing section of spine and allows her to use her legs. If the implant is damaged or malfunctions, Barbara could become paralyzed and/or suffer brain damage.

Gwen could punch a hole in Barb's face if she wants to. It's really not fair.

This seems unfair.

Not Flash vs. Quicksilver level unfair, but still... They couldn't have found someone who can also bench press a main battle tank for Gwen to fight?

Considering Spider Man already demolished Batman in their own Death Battle...

For general curiosity, is anyone here bored of this much Marvel & DC? This is 9th episode this season featuring cape comics.

And in total Marvel & DC far outclass others in getting matches.

Obvo Gwen. This is so lopsided. Same as spiderman vs bats. One has built in bullet dodging wall hacks and could twist Banes head off his shoulders if he pissed him off. The other guy is bruce wayne.

One has fucking super-powers (A tier superpowers even), is a genius and has access to good gadgetry and the other is a genius with martial arts training and access to some good gadgetry.

Gwen is probably as smart and capable a fighter as Barbara is, but she's also got access to fucking Spider Sense and can bench-press a fucking locomotive.

Barb's gonna get jobbered.

Is see they're going for the tiebreaker for the Spider-Man vs Batman skirmishes. Gwen should take this easily.

I'd put even a younger Babs above Earth-65 Gwen in terms of intellect, beyond being able to make the webbing, she really hasn't ever been positioned as a genius, that's more 616 Gwen.

Cassandra Cain has a decent chance to win, Barbara? no way in hell.

Still, these guys usually make the wrong call.

Not even a contest. It's like people pretending batman would legit have a chance against Superman. He wouldn't, Superman can reach flash levels of speed, he can lazer his head off in .000001 nano seconds if he really wanted to. It's the same with Spider Gwen, at the end of the day batgirl is a regular woman with gadgets.

I can see Babs overwhelming Gwen's Spider-sense with a modified ultra high frequency bat sonar. It would be over in one move.

I voted Gwen though becuase the battle will last longer and be underwelming

I absolutely adore Babs but the only way she'd win this is if somehow her tech and photographic memory can be of any help. Gwwn's got super strength and webbing. In a neutral environment Bab's knowledge of Gotham is gone too. Outthinking villains is her specialty but I don't think using environmental hazards would work here.

I 'guess' if she's got sticky glue bombs she could paste Gwen's hands so she can't shoot web and hope she can knock her out?
