Alice couldn&#8217;t defeat Batman because too many people thought Batman would wipe the floor with her. Now we face a different choice. Can a pure badass like McClane take out Batman?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/thumb-mcclane-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/thumb-mcclane-5.jpg\" title=\"John McClane\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>John McClane<\/strong> \u2013 Dude took out Voldemort! Not saying I agree with it, but he did. Muggle blood be damned, McClane showed the dark lord of wizardy what was up. Now McClane faces a very human opponent in Batman. Under that rubbery suit, he&#8217;s still Batman, and McClane still blows things up. This should be an interesting matchup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/batman-51.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-16611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/batman-51.jpg\" title=\"Batman\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\" \/><\/a><strong>Batman<\/strong> \u2013 He took out Alice and now he has his sights set on McClane, a man who more than dabbles in dispatching his opponents to the afterlife, he relishes it. However, Batman is just as resourceful as McClane. With an endless line of bat-gadgets at his disposal, will he be able to pull off another win?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Final Word:<\/span> Both of these guys are capable and inventive. They&#8217;re able to use the world around them to get the job done. McClane relies heavily on firearms, which could be a weakness. Batman has never been slowed down by bullets. (That could be attributed to the horrible marksmen that henchmen make.) McClane is a much better marksmen, and even though the batsuit seems to deflect bullets like crazy, Batman&#8217;s mouth area isn&#8217;t covered. It&#8217;s easy to see McClane putting a perfectly placed bullet right in the Caped Crusader&#8217;s gob.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-115\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>John McClane vs. Batman<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-115-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li>Batman <small>(70%, 91 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 70%;\" title=\"Batman (70% | 91 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<li>John McClane <small>(30%, 39 Votes)<\/small><div class=\"pollbar\" style=\"width: 30%;\" title=\"John McClane (30% | 39 Votes)\"><\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Total Voters: <strong>130<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_115_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"feee477e1b\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-115-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re barreling toward the conclusion of Movie Madness.
