Comic vs. Video Game Showdown 7/23/2012

This week is the first of many weeks I will be featuring a Comic book character versus a video game character. Trying to create even match-ups isn't as easy as it sounds, but I've come up with 30 so far. I will be posting weekly via this blog, and my two twitter accounts @tommygamerblog and @thecomicblog and asking for votes. You can vote by replying to the blog post, or by replying to the twitter post hashtagged #comicvsvideogameshowdown. Are you ready for the first of many show downs?

The Legend of Zelda's Hero of Time himself, Link. He has been equipped with many different tools and weapons over the years, but for the sake of this contest we'll stick to the main ones: Gale Boomerang, Bombs, Bow and Arrow, Hookshot, Master Sword, and Hylian Shield. He carry's a lot of ranged weaponry, including explosives, but also the Master Sword for melee, and the Hylian shield for defense. He's very agile, good at dodging attacks, and quick between making attacks. He may not be strong, but he makes up for strength in agility.

Gotham city's hero, the dark knight himself, Batman. He's a rich guy with lots of tools and weapons, and years of combat training. For the sake of this contest he will be equipped with Batarangs, Explosive gel, Bat-hook, and of course, his suit, which also acts as a weapon in some cases. He is fast, powerful, and extremely intelligent.

So, who will win and why? I want to hear your thoughts! Results will be announced after votes are taken on Saturday, and next weeks match-up will be announced next monday. Let's GO!
