Who would win?

Posted by Odd-Oven-8202

In the title. Each character has their choice of weapons, but that's all. No backup, no vehicles, just hand to hand combat or shooting it out. In an arena, sort of like a Hunger Games arena. 1. John Wick 2. Jason Bourne 3. Ethan Hunt 4. James Bond (Craig) 5. The Winter Soldier 6. Hawkeye 7. Black Widow 8. Batman (Bale)

Winter Soldier clears. But the real answer is: Whoever’s writing it.

Yep, writers. It's like saying Hawkeye never misses so he just shoots everyone around the corner and in their eye.

In general, I'd say Batman clears Winter Soldier without much difficulty. If we are specifying the Bale version though then it's a lot more up in the air.

Yeah depends how comic book the Batman is. Comic book Batman can clear God if the writer wants him to.

He said whoever is writing it. Plus, Batman doesn’t go for the kill.

Yeah, which is why I acknowledged that in this particular version Batman wouldn't have an easy win. However, in a general sense, he'd wipe the floor with Winter Soldier.

And your response is invalid because you're answering a different question. You're actually ignoring the original question to insert something that isn't relevant.

I'm not trying to answer the question, I'm commenting on a specification made by the question. If you feel that it's not relevant to you, that's fine. You're not being forced to read my response or to respond to it.

Going off the movies, it's got to be the Winter Soldier. He's superhuman, has an unbreakable (to any of these other characters at least) arm with ridiculous strength. He's got more stamina than anybody else here, he's the only one with superpowers, and is weapons trained. Hawkeye just isn't that powerful in the films, and while he should still be able to outshoot everybody, I think he gets bodied by Winter Soldier closing the gap, as well as batman being impossible to find until he hits you first. Batman is very gadget reliant, and while comic batman would have a contingency plan for this situation that would allow him to deal with everybody, bale wouldn't. He's got stealth advantage and assuming he's got his suit, pretty good defense against most guns. He's mostly a hand to hand guy though, and he's gonna lose to Winter Soldiers arm/strength. Bales batman is too grounded to take on Winter Soldier, he goes down to Bane who's just a dude thats more jacked than batman in his films. Widow has similar problems to Hawkeye, slightly better at hand to hand, and weaker with a gun, but not on the level of Winter Soldier or Batman IMO. Bond, Hunt, Bourne, Wick, are all very similar characters that suffer from being in more grounded movies than the superheros. Wick and Bond probably have slight advantage over Hunt, who has a slight advantage over Bourne.

I would agree with this. Though I feel Bourne is pretty underrated. I don't think Bourne is weaker than Hunt for sure, Bourne is a killing machine while Hunt is more of an agent and a spy not a killer. And I feel Bourne would defeat Bond. He's on par with Wick in my opinion

Hunt isn’t against killing, but he would need prep time to have a chance at taking anyone out. Hunt would be at the bottom. He typically just does missions with prep time and with a team.
1
AddictedToTheWeb Mar 29, 2026 +1
Fair take, my basis was just that, due to the sheer number of films that Hunt has been in, he's got a larger pool of extreme situations that he's been through and come out on top. But I can see how in strictly a combat scenario Hunt would have the edge. I think swapping them makes sense for sure.

Depends on how the script plays out.

Is there prep time?

John Wick and Batman are the only ones with bulletproof clothing. They would kill everyone else and Batman would eventually bludgeon Wick to death, but it would be close

malsomnus Mar 29, 2026 +1
Is any of that really likely to stop the Winter Soldier though?
1
StillStanding_96 Mar 29, 2026 +1
What does he have? An arm and super soldier serum? Do either of those protect him from bullets?
1
malsomnus Mar 29, 2026 +1
I really do usually try to avoid these discussions, but... come on, the guy can punch through tanks. Or pick them up and throw them. John Wick is very sharply dressed, sure, but the Winter Soldier isn't even on the same league here. Also, yes, the arm protects him from bullets.
1
StillStanding_96 Mar 29, 2026 +1
His arm is very impressive. But it’s useless if the target is more than 4 feet away from him. If the seven other people decide to shoot at him from range, he’s screwed.

malsomnus Mar 29, 2026 +1
I suppose we'll just have to agree on the good ol' "whoever the writers decide" answer!

StillStanding_96 Mar 29, 2026 +1
That’s the truth of it

Realityinyoface Mar 29, 2026 +1
His arm does. Granted, not a lot of surface area. Batman prefers up close combat, though. WS just snipes him or blows him up from a distance.

The winter soldier is a super soldier with a vibranium arm. Everyone else is mush, or mush covered in body armor.

StillStanding_96 Mar 29, 2026
Does the arm make him bulletproof? Literally anybody can kill him before he gets within the range where an arm becomes useful
