Saw this on Imgur earlier and I think it's a fun hypothetical. Who do you think are the last five standing, and who wins in the end?
Batman, Achilles, Conan, Aragorn, Bloke from Avengers that hasn't had his own film yet. Batman wins, because, well, Batman. Probably after getting Achilles to do all the heavy killing
Yeah I have to go with Batman, he combines brains, resources and brawn. Most of the others in that list only manage one out of three. Plus he has survived exactly this kind of setup many times in the past (see: Arkham City) and will undoubtedly have set things up prior to entry so that he can break the arbitrary rules of the Hunger Games (whatever they may be) and call upon his vast external resources. If he's ever in danger expect the batcopter to lift him out of there in a hurry. The only chance the others would have is to combine forces and gang up on Batman but other than perhaps Dr. Jones most of them wouldn't even think of that. What you largely have there is a crew of perpetual loners who don't work well with others and are very likely to just run in shouting. I guess at least Lara has experience fighting dinosaurs.
Xena. And then she goes home and makes sweet, sweet I'm just gonna stop right there. And Batman? Seriously? What has he ever done outside an urban setting, at least in the movies?
Who said this Batman was limited to just what we've seen in the movies? And of course he's rocked face in the jungle before, he's Batman.
See, I don't think Batman automatically wins it unless you inject the assumption, as Dan did, that he somehow manages to get access to all his wonderful toys. But Batman's definitely one of the last ones standing. IMO it's a question of skills in tactics, survival, and combat. Some of these have one or two mastered - Bear Grylls would win if it was a matter of drinking one's own piss, but in combat and tactics he's way outclassed. Likewise, someone like Ripley or Maximus would have combat and tactical expertise but come up short in wilderness survival. I think the last ones alive are Xena, Batman, Rambo, Black Widow (maybe?) and Aragorn. In the end it's Batman versus Aragorn. Batman wins if he gets gadgets and technology, but otherwise victory goes to Aragorn. He's a chieftain of the Dunedain, effectively a general. His peeps live in the wilderness so he's at no disadvantage there; he has no shortage of tactical prowess; and in martial combat he's at least Batman's equal.
Thinking about this silly idea a bit, I would go with (in order of their images) Rambo, Xena, Hawkeye, Aragorn, Lara Croft and Conan having the greatest chances, under the assumption that equipment and food is limited/primitive, since they're all experienced outdoorspeople (though I don't know that much about Hawkeye, he might not be?) and skilled fighters/tacticians.
From the survival and combat angle I'm surprised more people are mentioning Leonidas. He's had significant survival and combat training and I think would be on par with characters like Rambo, Xena and Aragorn. I think survival is a more significant part than actual combat so I think Achillles, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Maximus and various others would be a distinct disadvantage in that part. Jurassic Park being the arena I think is mostly a wash, might give a slight advantage to Lara Croft since, as far as I know, she's the only one who's actually taken down dinosaurs.
It really comes down to what sort of equipment these folks get to bring with them and/or are available in the park. If firearms are allowed, I'd say Hit Girl could take down 99% of these guys by herself, and she's small and doesn't need to eat as much.
I am just amazed that Batman fighting a shark with a lightsaber gets absolutely no likes. How can that be?
Batman loses due to his reluctance to kill. If Alice has all the wacky psychic mumbo-jumbo and the army of clones, then that's a no-brainer. Other than her, the most obvious source of raw power is Xena - which means when you have people like Aragorn out there likely forging alliances, she'd be singled out pretty quickly. My vote would be for Bear Grylls to go the stealth route and bury himself in a pile of dino shit or something like they train for in the SAS, then pop out at the end, stab Achilles in the heel, and win. Highlight of the entire thing: the epic Conan/Achilles fight.
