"You know that complaining about Bruce's popularity isn't going to change the fact that he's fighting again, right?"

Spider-Man classic sighed, "I know that Cloud. I'm just tired of him being overly popular."

"Well, it's rather obvious as to what-"

"Oh come on! You'd have to be a complete moron to not know the similarities between Batman and Panther. You'd have to be an even bigger moron to think that the people complaining about his being in another fight have no idea as to why they're fighting." Spider-Man pointed out.

"No need for hostility, Spider." Cloud snarled, "I just thought that-"

"Sorry man." Spider-Man apologized, "I'm just a little exhausted here. I'm pretty sure that there are people who should get a chance in the spotlight than Bruce."

"Well, I can't really argue that." Cloud mentioned, "I mean, I'm a little tired of him constantly getting the spotlight too, but it's not like complaining is going to change anything."

"Well, it feels better than that feeling of helplessness."

"Well, that's one way to look at it."


"So, how has your day been, Bruce?"

Batman classic sighed, "It's been a long day. Movie appearances, cameos, all the usual."

"And life just keeps turning up Batma-"

"- I need a vacation."

Dante blinked, "Well, I wasn't expecting you to say something like that."

"And now, I have to fight again. At this point, I'm just looking for a graceful exit from all this."

"Nobody's saying that you have to stick around. After the fight, you can take a few weeks off. Just relax back home." Dante paused for a moment, "Well, relax as much as you can, anyways."

"Thanks. I'll… think about it." Batman mumbled.

"I'm sure Terry can handle the Joker if he ever causes any trouble." Dante reassured, "Don't worry about us, we can handle it."

"Joker is only here because I'm here though." Batman pointed out, "If I leave for my homeworld, Joker is going to follow."

"Right…" Dante realized, "Man, this is hard. I mean, I'm sure the audience is a little tired of you fighting for a third time, and are already calling you a creator's pet or something."

"Great. First Injustice, and now here." Batman sarcastically quipped, "Next thing you know, Shadow ends up fighting again, and he gets the same treatment."

"The guy's already been through a lot." Dante noted, "I doubt that he's got anything that he can throw at people that would make for an interesting fight. It usually boils down to durability or knowledge."

Batman sighed, "Well, better get these old bones stretched for a fight. I'm a little out of shape, can only bench about four hundred and fifty pounds."

"Most people would actually consider that to be in-shape."

"I'm not most people."


"How is it that some people aren't tired of this guy yet?"

Zoro shrugged, "No clue. I mean, you got a lot of power backing you, Vegeta. I guess the hosts haven't found an opponent that could give you some kind of a decent fight."

"What about you?" The prince asked, "We sound alike for whatever reason."

"Eh, a few people having similar voices is something that was bound to happen eventually." Zoro shrugged, "Speaking of, you know where the mess hall is? - I'm hungry."

"… It's literally across the hall." Vegeta answered. "How is it that confusing for you?"

"Didn't we get him a GPS for this place?" Ace asked, rubbing his arm after finishing his arm-wrestling competition with Sub-Zero.

"I am unaware as to how we can make it easier for the swordsman." the cryomancer added, "Perhaps we should try to assist the swordsman in this aspect of his life."

"It'll take a while."

"I'm not going anywhere. Not as long as the overhyped asshat is going to be included in everything."

"Don't act as if you don't want to be in another fight because you got shackled with a weak-ass opponent."

"At least I earned my hype."


Wade: … You done?

X: Yeah. I think so.

Wade: Good. *smack!*

X: I deserved that.

Pinkie: I get why you're angry, but that's really not a good reason to insult people.

X: There are people who deserve to be in a Death Battle more than DC's overrated movie boy who has to be allowed to beat characters like Wonder Woman, Flash, Superman, and Green Lantern because of his popularity power.

Wade: You're hoping that he loses, aren't you?

X: Ohh, brutally. And if he doesn't, then I'll just watch the classic Spider-Man vs. Batman a dozen times to see Bruce Wayne get his ass kicked.
