My thirty sixth for episode 36
Batman belongs to DC
Captain America belongs to Marvel
Death Battle belongs to Screwattack
RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum (R.I.P)
Note: I'm back with Death Battle and I also have some announcements. I have decided to make a fanfic of RWBY reacting to the Godzilla NES Creepypasta when I finish a few of my Death Battles. I talked to Cosbydaf on Deviantart and he gave me permission. But don't worry. Since each chapter is fairly short and only ten chapter total, I will do a chapter once in awhile while focusing on Death Battle and Samurai Jack.
Also, the big reason it took this long to make this chapter was because I was on vacation in Missouri so my work was limited and also because college is coming back again. I'm not always at my computer and doing my hard work for this fic, you know.
Enjoy the Episode!
(Saturday)
Since today is Saturday, RWBY had the day off at Beacon and just spended the day in downtown Vale until later in the evening to watch the next episode of Death Battle.
RWBY sat down and got the next episode ready as Ruby was putting the disc in and hitting play.
Blake actually felt a bit excited to see Batman return and face off against a new opponent that seems more fair.
"Let's see who Batman will be facing this time!" Ruby announces as the episode starts.
The episode starts once again as RWBY has their popcorn and snacks ready.
(Cues Invader Jim Johnston)
Wiz: Defending the weak from powerful agents of evil demands a champion who has achieved the peak of human capability, all in the name of justice.
"That's basically what Hunters and huntresses are meant to do in training and graduating." Weiss responded that huntsman do all kinds of missions that some can even relate to justice.
Wiz: And sometimes vengeance.
"And others will train themselves until they are capable of exacting vengeance on those they did wrong." Blake answered with a whisper as she shudders at the reminder that Adam has that same ambition to get revenge on the humans.
Boomstick: Batman, the Dark Knight.
"We know who he is." Yang said with a smile.
Wiz: And Captain America, the sentinel of liberty.
"He seems interesting." Weiss said in curiosity.
"And he looks so awesome and heroic!" Ruby cheered.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
The episode starts off with a bunch of criminals running from the police and now on top of a skyscraper.
(Cues Batman Begins - Molossus)
Wiz: Throughout the underworld of Gotham City, one name strikes fear into the cold, black hearts of even the most hardened criminals... the Batman.
Batman
"Yep. We all know him very well." Ruby responded.
"But I wonder what they will show us this time about our caped crusader." Blake answered with a smirk.
"Probably more awesome gadgets." Yang also said in excitement
Boomstick: But becoming a 6 foot, flying rat of vengeance comes at a cost.
RWBY already knew his origin and were still sad for Bruce losing his family.
Boomstick: For 8 year old Bruce Wayne, he was helplessly watching, as his parents were gunned down in front of him, on their way back from the theater.
RWBY couldn't help but cringe seeing that footage of seeing his parents shot dead by a thug.
"Still can't get over that and I still remember it as if it's yesterday." Weiss muttered.
Boomstick: That poor kid. That opra must have really scarred him.
RWBY all narrowed their angry eyes at Boomstick for saying something that stupid over a child losing his parents.
"Better watch what words comes out of your flapping lips, Boomstick." Weiss growled.
BACKGROUND
Age: 41
Height: 6'2" / 1.9 meters
Weight: 210 lbs / 95.3 kg
Secret identity: Bruce Wayne
Net Worth: $6.9 billion (almost as much as Weiss' company)
Perfected every martial art known to man
Has had 23 girlfriends. Kissed at least 60 women (Sun and Neptune are jealous)
The one trait that shocked RWBY the most was that Batman kissed 60 women and 23 of them were his girlfriends.
"Holy cow!" Yang hollered. He has more girlfriends than any guy I once dated and could even rival Spiderman's!"
"I'm impressed." Weiss said that Batman is able to get this many girls in his life.
"I wonder if the women were normal people, heroes, or even villains." Blake added.
Wiz: Bruce's genius level intellect and physical prowess allowed him to pick up a vast array of skills on his global quest to become the Dark Knight.
"And also to bring justice." Blake added.
Wiz: He became an expert in the art of disguise and a master of every martial art known to man.
"And that's a total of 127 at the very least." Yang said impressed. "I should learn a lot, if not all of them."
Wiz: He's perfected escape artistry, sword fighting, detective skills, stealth, has a photographic memory, earned 12 master degrees, is an expert marksman, and vastly knowledgeable in pressure points.
"Batman sure has a lot of talents for many things, especially in fighting and detecting." Weiss said impressed.
Boomstick: And we're positive he is not superhuman?
"If he was, he would be doing something inhuman and he could have aura too." Yang joked.
(Cues Main Title - Batman: The Animated Series)
Wiz: Officially, no he's not but he has learned to appear so in the minds of his opponents. Having been trained by the League of Assassins, Batman's greatest weapon is Fear.
"It makes sense." Blake informed. "Scaring your opponents would work best to your advantage to win in a fight when being scared makes you lose focus."
Boomstick: All it takes is a glimpse of that pointy-eared shadow and criminals start shaking in their boots.
"And seeing Batman in the shadows makes him look kinda demonic." Weiss also said.
UTILITY BELT
Batclaw
Smoke Pellets
Various Batarangs
Explosive Gel
Disruptor
Shock Gloves (which Yang, Nora and Neptune want)
Cryptographic Sequencer
Forensic Analysis Kit
First Aid Kit
Boomstick: He can disappear and reappear in an instant thanks to his mastery of stealth and the high tech gadgets he keeps in his utility belt.
RWBY did remember the utility belt big time and Ruby is excited what will be seen again or maybe even something new that Batman may bring to the fight.
Boomstick: Like his batclaw grappling hook, smoke pellets, tons of different batarangs, and... shock gloves.
That caught Yang's attention the most since she loves wearing punching based weapons and the shock gauntlets sound awesome for her.
"Those sounds like a pair of gauntlets I would love to use in a fight." Yang smirked.
Wiz: Hey, don't underestimate the shock gloves. They release a charge powerful enough to penetrate kevlar.
"My word." Weiss said impressed. "If a pair of gloves with an electric charge that can penetrate kevlar, then those must be some powerful gloves.
"Like I said, I need to have them." Yang answered.
Wiz: And even stop the heart of one of Batman's most powerful enemies, Bane.
RWBY watches Batman defeat Bane by stopping his heart with the powerful surges of the shock gloves.
Boomstick: But then he restarted it because he's nice like that. Bane later said "thank you" the only way he knew how.
RWBY sees a footage of Bane breaking Batman's back with his knee and the sound of a spine breaking in half. RWBY cringed so hard at the scenery and the sound.
"That's gotta hurt...." Ruby muttered.
"Getting your back broken in half is not a pleasant experience." Blake added.
"Even hearing the sound makes it feel like my back hurts right now." Weiss also muttered.
"I wonder how Batman healed from that." Yang also wondered.
Boomstick: I'm surprised Batty didn't pull something out of the Utility Belt to stop that one, considering it seems to contain anything Batman could ever need, even shark repellent.
They see Batman using shark repellent on a shark that drives it away. Ruby and Yang are laughing but Weiss isn't impressed.
"Oh sure. I bet Batman has EVERYTHING he needs to get out of ANY situation." Weiss said sarcastically.
Wiz: Actually, that's a common misconception. The shark repellent was stored in the helicopter that Robin was flying, not Batman's Utility Belt.
"Guess Batman can't exactly store everything in his fancy, golden belt of his." Blake stated.
Boomstick: Oh ho yeah! 'Cause that makes it SOOO much less ridiculous!
"Otherwise it would be ridiculous, indeed." Weiss agreed. "There is no way that a belt can store all gadgets at once, even giant cans of repellent that repels sharks."
"Still. It would be cool and awesome if we had Grimm repellent!" Yang hollered and laughed that even Ruby and Blake chuckled too. Weiss isn't amused.
"Imagine how easy it would be to get rid of Grimm with a can of spray!" Yang said one last time.
"It would be practical.... but less flashy." Ruby admitted.
On with the next weapon.
Wiz: Batman also carries explosive gel.
RWBY listened closely as they see a device that sprays some kind of gel that can detonate. Batman even makes a shape of a bat out of that stuff on walls or even the floor.
Wiz: A cluster of this substance can be sprayed onto nearly any surface and remotely detonated. Perfect for distractions.
"Interesting." Weiss stated. "Atlas has also been trying to turn many kinds of dust into gel for many kinds of tasks and purposes in and out of combat."
Boomstick: Or, you know.... blowing shit up!
"Mine and Nora's specialty." Yang agreed with a smirk. Ruby was drooling at that fancy gadget.
Boomstick: Tip for criminals, if you know Batman's after you, avoid anything shaped like a bat.
"Will do." RWBY all joked.
"Now I wanna draw my symbol with that stuff." Yang also added.
"Me too!" Ruby agreed.
A man walks into a dark room.
Man #1: Somebody in here?
He sees Batman standing in the room.... and staring at the man with a stoic scowl.
The man stares at him for a few seconds.... and leaves the room while closing the door.
Man #2: Something wrong?
Man #1: ....Nnnnope.
RWBY all chuckled.
"Seems even Batman doesn't need to say a word to make people not blow his cover." Blake chuckled.
"Because he's Batman." Yang also joked.
Wiz: Bruce chose the guise of a bat to project his own fear of the flying mammal onto his enemies.
"It's pretty unique to use something that you fear as a weapon onto your opponents. Smart move." Weiss commented.
Wiz: However, that's not the Batsuits only purpose.
BATSUIT
Repurposed Nomex survival suit
Almost totally bulletproof
Flame and shock resistant
Cape doubles as glider
Cowl's para-aramid fibers lessen impacts to the head.
Gauntlets armed with blades
Conceals both heartbeat and heat signature.
Boomstick: Thanks to some military-grade armor he stole from his own company, with Morgan Freeman's permission, the Batsuit is completely bullet proof, knife proof, electricity proof, punch proof, dog proof, and theft proof.
"I wonder if it's Grimm and dust proof." Yang added to the joke.
"That aside, I'm interested that this suit can resist a lot of trauma and punishment. Atlas could make a suit too with added aura to back it up from the user." Weiss stated.
Wiz: inside Batman's cowl is an array of high-tech gear used for listening to police scanners and communicating with allies.
"Quite useful in stealth missions." Blake stated.
Wiz: But in combat, Batman finds more use in it's night infrared and ultraviolet vision. Also, it's built in triangulation imaging system, which hacks into the world's cell phones.
"Those are also unique and useful too." Weiss agreed. Ruby so wanted a pair of those gadgets.
Boomstick: You mean he can see EVERYTHING I do, just because I have a phone?
"I even wonder if it works on scrolls too." Yang wondered.
Wiz: More or less.
Boomstick: Ask him where I put my keys.
RWBY all chuckled.
FEATS
Avoided unavoidable Omega Beams (Non canon since it's from the Justice League TV show)
Survived outer space for 24 seconds (RWBY is really shocked and impressed)
Bench press: 1,000 lbs
Leg press: 2,500 lbs
Can throw a Batarang 100 mph
Swapped a poisoned drink faster than the literal blink of an eye
Broke into Area 51.... And Area 52
Wiz: Aside from mass invasion of privacy, Batman's resume includes such accomplishments as dodging Darkseid's virtually unavoidable Omega Beams.
RWBY jaw dropped at Batman avoiding an attack from a foe that is on Superman's rogues gallery. However, a text says non-canon.
"Still an awesome feat, though." Yang commented.
"Despite it not being canon, I agree." Blake agreed.
"I wanna dodge laser beams!" Ruby cheered.
"Not an easy feat, even for very fast huntsmen." Weiss added.
Wiz: Survived in the vacuum of space for 24 seconds.
"Well that's more impressive for a normal human." Blake commented.
"Atlas also tested the endurance of a human in a vacuum.... and the guy only lasted about 7 seconds." Weiss stated.
"Dang! Batman is one tough son of a gun!" Yang admitted.
Wiz: And breaking free from a coffin, buried six feet underground, in a straight jacket, after being deprived of sleep for days, all while having a cocktail of unknown drugs in his system along with the Joker's latest venom toxin.
That last piece of info made RWBY jaw drop in sheer disbelief of hearing this kind of insane feat for a normal human... even without an aura or semblance.
"There is no way Batman should do that without any semblance or aura!" Weiss stuttered in disbelief.
"Well... he did." Blake said with wide eyes.
"I wonder if I could do that too." Yang wondered.
"Probably either you go insane... or worse." Ruby responded.
Boomstick: WHAT THE FUCK?! ARE WE POSITIVE THAT WE'RE POSITIVE HE'S NOT SUPERHUMAN?!
Wiz: Well, given his line of work, I won't be surprised if he stumbled into a room filled with gamma rays or something like that.
"And wouldn't he be big and mean if that was true?"Ruby asked. She once read a comic where a scientist did get covered in some kind of radiation and became a giant monster if he gets agitated.
Wiz: But, underneath the Batsuit, he is affected by knives and bullets the same as any mortal man.
"And that's also without aura too." Weiss stated.
Wiz: Even though, he usually comes out victorious, his self confidence occasionally puts him in life threatening situations he can't escape without help.
"And that is why we formed teams if one of us gets caught in a sticky situation." Blake agreed. Remnant was sure smart in making teams for every group.
Boomstick: Like Bane's thank you spine durability test.
RWBY cringes at Bane breaking Batman's spine.... again.
Wiz: But the Caped Crusader has consistently found a way survive even the most life threatening situations.
Boomstick: All in the name of justice.... vengeance.
Batman: From this moment on... none of you are safe.
RWBY already knew Batman from before but they did like some of his new feats and gadgets he showed off. Yang especially wanted to try out those shock gloves and Ruby wanted the explosive gel.
"Well. Let's see what opponent Batman will be facing this time." Weiss said.
"And let's see if he's on Batman's level since Spider Man beaten him to a pulp." Yang agreed.
First thing RWBY sees is a white star on a shield inside a block of ice.
(Cues Captain America: The First Avenger - Captain America)
Wiz: Born to poor Irish immigrants in Manhattan, on July 4th, 1920.
RWBY sees a city with skyscrapers made of stone with metal and looks a bit more comparable to cities of Remnant decades ago.
BACKGROUND
Before Transformation
-Height: 5'4" / 1.6 m (Shorter than Blake)
-Weight: 95 lbs / 43.1 kg
After Transformation
-Height: 6'2"/ 1.9 m (around Fox's height)
-Weight: 220 lbs / 99.8 kg
Both parents died early in his life (that made Ruby and Yang feel sad)
Won the gold medal in an art contest as a teenager (which impressed Weiss)
Was once mutated into "Spider-King"
Secretly a habitual car thief (LOL)
Wiz: Stevenson Rogers grew up with little money, few friends...
RWBY felt kinda sorry for this young man with blonde hair. His parents died when he was young and now he's poor with no one else to be with....
Boomstick: And even fewer muscles!
And RWBY also notices that Steven is also as scrawny as a rail. Heck, even scrawnier than Jaune himself when he first came to Beacon.
Boomstick: Good God, is that Steve Rogers or Jack Skellington? Somebody get that kid a sandwich!
"I agree." Ruby admitted. "He almost looks like Jaune the first time he came to Beacon." She joked and laughed.
"Wonder how this guy is the opponent Batman should be fighting." Yang also joked.
"We shall see how he came to be." Weiss and Blake both said at the same time.
Wiz: But his sheer willpower, selflessness, and desire for justice stood out.
But RWBY also smiled at that mention of Steven makes up his frail appearance with the guts and determination of a warrior.
"At least he's determined to do what he believes." Blake said being admired.
"Agreed." Weiss said.
Wiz: As those around him left to serve the second World War, Rogers was desperate to fight for his country. But, due to his lacking physique and health problems, he was turned away from every single military organization, multiple times.
"Boy. That sucks." Yang muttered.
"Even with all the determination and desire to help, it can only get you sa far Blake answered.
Boomstick: Meanwhile, Hitler was creating a new group of super nazis with lasers called Hydra.
(Cues Captain America: The First Avenger - Training the Supersoldier)
The symbol of this Hydra organization is a skull with octopus tentacles.
"Based on that symbol, it seems to tell me it spells evil." Ruby responded.
"Agreed." All the other three said.
Wiz: To combat this new threat, Uncle Sam began the top secret Project Rebirth. It looked like Rogers would finally get his chance to be the hero after all....
"That sounds nice." Ruby smiled that Steven no has the chance to become the hero.
Wiz:.. Provided he survived an untested, unstable, unpredicted experiment.
"Well... that's one way to brighten you up for having a chance to become the hero." Weiss said sarcastically.
"Still worth it if I was in a situation that I wanna stop looking like a rail." Yang responded.
Boomstick: After an injection of some mystery juice, and tanning in some vita rays, Roger lived!
Steven indeed lived, which resulted him having a muscular body that caused the girls to blush again and Yang to purr once again.
Boomstick: And, as a plus, became a nazi annihilating, terrorist thrashing, symbol of freedom: Captain America!
Here now wears an that is mostly blue with mixes of red and white; symbolizing the United States flag. He also carries that shield (which will be explained later).
Captain America
Now RWBY is impressed Steven is now what they were looking for, the opponent of Batman.
"Now he looks more heroic and awesome!" Ruby cheered/
"And cute too." Yang smirked.
Now RWBY sees guns blazing, bald eagles swooping and screeching, and fireworks blasting everywhere.
Boomstick: 'MURICA!
RWBY was a bit surprised at this.
"Huh.... Boomstick sure sounds patriotic and hot blooded for the country Captain America is fighting for." Blake stated.
"I guess the country he is from must be proud of themselves." Weiss also said.
(Cues Captian America's Theme - Marvel vs Capcom 3)
They watch Captain America kick ass left and right while the awesome music is playing. Ruby and Yang are excited at seeing Cap being a badass.
Wiz: The Super Soldier Serum pushed Steve's body to the absolute limit of human physical and mental potential.
Weiss and Blake were intrigued by the serum while Ruby and Yang wanted to try that stuff and become something like Steven, further enhancing their already superhuman abilities fueled by aura and semblances.
"I need to some of that stuff!" Ruby and Yang shouted.
"I don't think that's possible since Atlas doesn't plan on doing stuff like that since we are already powerful to begin with, since aura is the source of it." Weiss answered.
"A girl can still dream. Right?" Yang asked.
Boomstick: A homeless guy sold me a super serum once. I woke up in Denny's a week later without my wallet....
RWBY all sweatdropped.
"Idiot..." Weiss muttered.
Yang and Ruby nervously chuckled and Blake didn't say anything.
ABILITIES
Adept in all fighting styles
Master tactician
Multi-lingual
Proficient in all weapons, though he typically only uses his shield
Expert acrobat (all huntsmen are natural at that)
Capable of chi manipulation (a bit like aura)
Can resist all forms of mind control
Proficient in driving all kinds of vehicles
Wiz: With his new body, Rogers can bench press 1100 lbs and run a mile in 73 seconds.
RWBY was astonished that Cap is that strong and fast for a person without aura.
"My word!" Weiss said impressed. "He can do all that without aura!"
"Now imagine if he had aura to boot." Blake also said.
"Then you got a badass who could fight with the most powerful and skilled huntsman." Yang answered.
Wiz: By comparison, the bench press world record without the aid of a bench shirt is Eric Spoto's 722 lbs and the fastest mile run belongs to Hicham Guerouji of Morocco of 3 minutes 43 seconds. That makes Rogers nearly twice as strong and over three times as fast as the most physically fit humans beings in the world.
RWBY just jaw dropped at hearing that statement.
Boomstick: He can even dodge gunfire at point blank range by, in his own words, "seeing faster".
"We can also dodge gunfire too." Ruby stated.
Wiz: Which is the absolute stupidest way of saying that his brain can process images faster than a normal human.
"Well. If that serum can make you all muscular and powerful like that, then it could be possible the serum is behind that." Blake said.
"I still dodged gunfire without seeing them faster." yang responded.
Boomstick: Putting his new abilities to good use, he's adept in every single form of hand to hand combat known to man.
Blake and Yang are impressed that he can learn a lot of different fighting styles.
"He can Batman should come by and teach us all those fighting styles." Blake commented.
Boomstick: That's right. I bet you didn't know Captain America was a ninja.
Ruby and Yang all laughed. Blake even chuckled a bit.
"I bet Captain America would be good in a ninja novel." Ruby laughed.
Blake nervously coughed and acted like everything is normal.
Iron Fist: Ninjitsu? Kung-Fu? Krav Maga?
Captain America: All of the above.
Wiz: Despite his incredible physical potential, the military initially decided Super Steve was best suited as.... The US Army poster boy.....
(Cues Captain America: The First Avenger - The Star Spangled Man)
"What?!" RWBY all shouted in shock and disbelief at Cap's position, along with looking at the silly outfit he wears.
"That is one cheap looking costume meant for a holiday where we get candy."
Boomstick: That suit looks like it was ripped from a patriotic circus.
Wiz: It was.
"I ain't too surprised." Blake answered.
Boomstick: Really? Well, at least he upgraded the suit not made for a circus later on.
Wiz: No. They were too.
"What?!" RWBY all shouted again.
Boomstick: What kind of circus would make a costume with kevlar and nomex with lightweight titanium that's resistant to fire, water, and electric shocks.
"I agree. What kind of circus would make a suit that should belong in a military base that's meant for combat purposes?" Weiss wondered.
Wiz: some call it World War II.
(Music Stops)
Boomstick: Oh.... I get it....
RWBY remained silent.
(Cues Captain America: The First Avenger - Captain America March)
Wiz: But the most iconic aspect of Cap's attire is his famed shield.
Ruby was drooling at the shield that has a circular shape that's red with a white circular stripe and a white star in the blue center.
"That's an awesome looking shield!" Ruby squeed. She prefers offensive weapons but shields are no exception either.
CAP'S SHIELD
2.5 feet in diameter, weighs 12 lbs
An unrepeatable combination of Proto-Adamantium and Vibranium
It's Proto-Adamantium is even stronger than regular Adamantium
Absorbs the full power of the impact
Conducts neither electricity nor heat
Highly aerodynamic
Can only be damaged by tampering its molecular bonding
Wiz: Composed of Adamantium and a mysterious metal from space called Vibranium.
That made Weiss the most intrigued since Atlas has also been studying metals, besides Dust, to create more lightweight, durable, and flexible metal on weapons, shields, and even mechs.
"Metals from space. Interesting." Weiss said intrigued. "I Atlas has also found metals from space... but not enough to make a weapon out of one.
Wiz: This one of a kind shield was presented to him personally by none other than the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
RWBY sees the president giving Cap the shield. RWBY thinks the president must be some kind of high authoritative figure who runs the country like the council members do to the kingdoms.
Boomstick: Like a badass, Cap doesn't just use his shield for defending himself, he HURLS that motherucker at just about anything that moves.
They watch throw that shield like a frisbee with incredible accuracy.
"I love it!" Both Ruby and Yang said as they are awed by such a tool used both for defensive and offense.
"I'm impressed that a shield like that is really versatile, besides being primarily used for defense." Weiss said with a smirk.
"I so bet Jaune would love a shield like that." Blake also said.
Wiz: The combination of the two metals allows the shield to absorb and reflect practically all kinetic energy and, thus, ricochet off multiple targets with only minor loss in velocity.
"Woah. That's some nice aerodynamic design for such a shield." Weiss said in awe.
"So cool!" Ruby shouted.
Wiz: Captain America utilizes this in combination with his superhuman mind, to predict and calculate the shield's trajectory so that it always ends up back in hand, no matter how many targets it has struck.
"That's some impressive and nearly impossible accuracy!" Yang shouted.
Boomstick: Cap's shield can reflect anything from bullets to lasers, decapitate vampires, and stop a blow from Thor's hammer. And if you recall Mjolnir doesn't fuck around.
RWBY jaw dropped at Cap's shield taking a blow from Thor's hammer... without even a dent.
"Just how powerful are those two metals that shield is made from?!" Weiss shouted in disbelief.
"Jaune would SO want a shield like that!" Yang also said with a smirk.
"Indeed." The others said.
Boomstick: This giant frisbee of freedom is so cool, even Superman wants one.
They see Superman holding the shield and using it with skill.
"I can imagine how more badass and powerful Superman can be if he had a shield like that." Blake stated.
"Yep!" RWY all said.
They watch some woman (Peggy Carter) shoots the shield with a pistol... with Cap using it to shield himself. The bullets don't even dent it and end up dented and crumpled themselves.
Peggy: Yes. I think it works.
"You think?" RWBY all said while chuckling.
(Cues Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Lemurian Star)
Wiz: But it's not unstoppable.
"What?" RWBY all said curious and continued to listen.
Wiz: It's been damaged and even destroyed it's fair share of times over the years.
They see the shield torn to pieces in many different ways.
"Guess the shield ain't that invincible." Ruby said.
Wiz: But only by cosmic or reality warping powers.
"Oh. Well that's still an impressive shield that can take many hits since Remnant and likely most characters aren't that powerful." Blake stated.
Boomstick: Luckily, Mr. America doesn't rely only on his shield.
FEATS
Survived being frozen in ice for 70 years (RWBY can't believe that)
Can run almost 50 mph / 80.5 kph
Caught a torpedo with his bare hands
Threw the Hulk off his feet
Jumps 20-30 feet high
Drops from airplanes at cruising altitude into water without a parachute no problem
Wiz: He's boxed Thor to a standstill, worthy enough to wield Mjolnir, and has even incapacitated the Hulk with his knowledge of pressure points.
RWBY was impressed that Captain America can fight Thor to a standstill and even wield his hammer. RWBY still doesn't know who the Hulk is but they assume he must be very powerful.
Boomstick: Wait! Go back to that second one!
RWBY sees Captain America... kicking Hulk right between the legs with all he can muster.
Yang bursted into laughter while the other girls didn't know what to say.
Boomstick: Did this guy kick THE HULK IN THE DICK?!
Yang laughed even harder.
"I just can't....." Weiss muttered in trying to say something.
Boomstick: You've gotta be a real man to give the green goliath the nut check. I mean, that's the fastest way to piss off a dude, and who don't we like when they're angry? Balls of steel, right there. Great big, eagle-shaped freedom balls of steel.
Yang was even on the floor laughing now that even Blake and Ruby were trying not to laugh. Weiss.... tried not to even smirk.
(Cues Captain America: The First Avenger - Invader's Montage)
Wiz: And to top everything off, not many superheroes to claim to have defeated the fearsome foursome of Crack, Weed, Ice, and Mrs. Fix. The literal personification of actual street drugs.
"Wait. There are villains based off of drugs in a comic book?" Weiss said confused.
"Probably as a message to kids and teens to not take drugs." Blake answered.
"I've seen enough tv shows of stuff like that already." Yang muttered.
Boomstick: So, you're telling me he's preaching an anti-drug message, KNOWING that drugs are the entire reason he became awesome?
"Wait. The serum was a type of drug?" Ruby asked.
Wiz: I guess we can add "hypocrite" to his list of aliases.
"Well, the serum isn't doing any negative effects on Cap like an ordinary drug." Blake answered.
Wiz: Despite being a physically perfect human, Captain America more or less has the same weaknesses as any other man.
"And the lack of aura makes him more like a normal person." Weiss stated.
Wiz: His patriotic uniform can only protect so much from stabbing weapons.
"Yeah. Good thing that he has that or else he may get seriously injured." Yang said.
Boomstick: And sniper bullets. God knows he gets killed pretty good by those. AHHH! Weapons! My only weakness! How did you.... Know.....?
"Yep. He would be good with aura and tank that blade." Yang stated.
(Cues Captain America: The First Avenger - Captain America)
Wiz: Even in the face of death, Captain America always stands for what the United States needs.
Boomstick: And sometimes serving Hitler with an American-sized knuckle sandwich!
Man: Who are you supposed to be?
Captain America: I'm... Captain America.
After that. RWBY also liked Captain America a lot in many ways. Ruby loved that shield for being both a defensive and offensive weapon. Weiss and Blake are impressed with his skills and even his nearly superhuman mind to calculate to throw that shield. Yang thinks he's a badass with an awesome shield.
Wiz: Alright. The combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
The camera shows a dark city where part of it is run down and likely filled with criminal scum. Near an ally, Captain America jumps from nowhere, likely from a high place, and lands on the ground and looks into the alleyway.
"Well. There's Cap. But I don't see Batman anywhere." Ruby said slightly nervously.
Inside the darkness in the alleyway, two bright eyes appear and stare at Captain America. RWBY didn't need to guess who it was.
(Cues Batman: Arkham Origins - Assassins)
Batman walks out of the darkness and gets into his fighting stance. Cap responds and also prepares himself to fight.
RWBY is on their toes at who will be the superior hero of justice.
FIGHT!
Captain America makes the first move as he throws his shield at Batman, but Batman somehow was able to block it and sent it back without damaging him. Cap runs forward and catches his shield as he now throws goes on the offense up close. Batman managed to block the first few blows but a few shield bashes stunned him and Cap landed more punches on the Caped Crusader.
"Now Cap is gaining the upper hand!" Yang shouted.
But Batman now starts dodging the punches and lands a thrust kick which got blocked by Cap using his shield but it was enough to push the Avenger back. He throws some batarangs that bounce of the shield and Cap throws it again. This time, Batman jumped over and fires his grappling hook at Cap to snare him. But like Spiderman, Steve caught the grappling line, preventing himself being caught.
"Does this feel familiar." Blake said for some reason.
Before Batman could retaliate, Cap's shield bounces off the wall at the end of the alley and hits Batman in the back of the head, stunning him. This gave Cap the time to yank the cable hard enough to send Batman towards him vulnerably while getting his shield back.
"This looks like it's gonna hurt." Ruby commented as they are seeing what's about to happen.
Just as Cap got his shield back again and Batman right in front of him, Cap slams his shield full force into the Dark Knight that sends him flying back and smashing into the wall with a loud thud.
RWBY cringed at the impact which must have hurt like hell, even with the durable Batsuit on.
Batman is pissed.
He activates his shock gloves and charges forward (Yang and Ruby cheer for those). Batman charges forward and punches Cap who blocks again with the shield. No matter how hard he punches or how much volts and power the shock gloves hold, he couldn't dent or even conduct the shield and gets knocked back again by Cap. However, at the same time, Batman is analyzing the shield and realizes that the shield can't be bypassed directly and must take a different approach.
He has an idea.
He throws some pellets to the ground right before Captain America attacks.
Captain America: Let's finish this!
Batman holds a smoke pellet in his hand.
RWBY realizes that Batman has formed a plan.
Captian America: Hyper!
Cap charges forward with his shield out that could decapitate Batman but Bruce already threw the smoke pellet to the ground which created a smoke screen and Cap only hit the wall.
Blake was impressed Batman can make a plan in the middle of a fight.
Just as Steve turned around, Batman is gone and the smoke pellets on the ground all exploded, creating a giant wall of smoke within the alley.
"Quite a clever tactic." Weiss commented.
Cap looks around and tries to find Batman but can't, due to the thick wall of smoke.
A batarang passes by.
Cap responds by throwing the shield into the direction the projectile came from.
Silence.
RWBY and Captain America wait for a sound or something as the silence continues to linger.
The shield comes back as it lands in front of Captain America... but it has gel on it in the shape of a bat.
"Oh-oh..." RWBY all said.
BANG!
(Cues Batman Begins - Train Fight)
The explosive gel stunned Cap just long enough for Batman to dive in and stun the Avenger even more with his pressure point attacks. Cap falls to his knees as Batman picks up his shield.
"What is Batman gonna do with that shield?" Ruby said nervously.
Before anyone could answer, Batman hits Cap so hard that he goes flying even above the alleyway (which should be impossible since Batman isn't superhuman).
RWBY was shocked what they just saw.
"How can he do that?!" Weiss shouted in confusion.
Batman got out his grappling hook and fired it which wrapped around Cap's neck.
RWBY's eyes widened at what that could lead to.
Snap!
Cap's neck snapped once the cable attached to a street lamp.
RWBY cringed so hard at that scene that it even almost made them want to puke.
K.O!
"That had to be very painful..." Blake muttered.
(Cues Batman Arkham City - Main Theme)
To make it more gruesome. Batman throws the shield and cuts Cap in half then leaves with a smoke pellet.
"Okay. Now I feel sick for real..." Weiss responded.
Boomstick: I pledge allegiance, to the cap, hanging miserably from the lightpost.
"Now that's pretty dark." Yang also muttered.
On with the results.
Wiz: Captain America did have the endurance and power advantage, and Batman himself has admitted he COULD lose a hand-to-hand combat match against him, but there is a big difference between COULD and WOULD.
Boomstick: I COULD survive a fall out of airplane, but I WOULDN'T bet on it, unless you're doing it Wiz, you should totally try it, 5 bucks if you make it.
RWBY just didn't know what to say while Yang and Ruby tried to keep a straight face since it sounded so funny.
Wiz and Weiss: You're an idiot, Boomstick.
Yang and Ruby were laughing.
"I would want to give it a try!" Yang joked.
Wiz: Also, the fact is, Batman is more than a boxer, his stealth and disarming skills allowed him to turn the fight in his favor.
"True." Blake agreed. "It's especially effective in the dark areas of the fight."
Boomstick: Not to mention the gadgets. Just because Cap could "see faster" doesn't mean he can see hard enough to spot Bats through a solid wall of smoke.
"Yeah, it's not easy looking through a smoke when Batman has his headgear that could see the heat signature." Weiss added.
Wiz: Batman also regularly and sneaks around super beings far above your average laser Nazi.
Boomstick: If he can ninja around SUPERMAN'S Super Hearing, there's no reason he can't do the same to Captain America.
"It's probably he has the tech in his suit that likely hid his heart beat from Superman." Blake deduced.
Wiz: And, of course, Batman has more knowledge of pressure points and fighting styles because he mastered ALL of them, then simply being adept. Helping him incapacitated and finish off the Star Spangled soldier.
"I guess more experience gives you a slight edge in fighting." Yang also said.
Boomstick: Captain America just couldn't hang in there.
Yang didn't respond on this pun being a bit harsh.
Wiz: The winner is Batman.
RWBY did like that episode and were kinda glad Batman got his win. But they also admired Captain America being a symbol of freedom and justice.
Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.
?: I have a guid here that will show you how to live from now on.
A large pair of doors open... and show a 50 foot tall mech standing there in all its glory. Ruby's eyes became stars as they watch the mech flying around and destroying other mechs with some kind of bea sword.
THE 6TH GUNDAM
VS
A bright light shines down as a man in a white tight suit appears.
?: Tigerzord!
Now they see a massive mech of a tiger transforming into a humanoid version of itself.
Music: White Ranger Tiger Power! White Ranger Tiger Power! Tiger Power Now!
THE 6TH GUNDAM
VS
THE 6TH RANGER
After a few seconds of silence.
"MUST WATCH IT!" Yang and Ruby both shouted as Ruby used her speed to put the disc in and hit play.
