This was probably one of my most favorite comics ever, and I honestly wish I could have saved it, but I had to sell all my comics of mine to help raise money for my mom and her cancer battle, which she lost this year. I don't regret selling it or them, but the crossover was fantastically done.

"We've been at it for hours. We could battle for days and not have a winner until one of us drops from exhaustion."
Who knew Batman's greatest miscalculation would be failing to realize that Cap could do this all day.

[Marcieishereandqueer]

“We weren’t given a choice. We have to fight until someone goes down.” Any one else feel like this was the writers calling out the fans?

[bipolarbear]

Everyone else: "I'll kill you!"
"No ill kill you!"
Batman and captain America: "we just become best friends?"
"I think we did!"

[royceguy]

The respect they have for one another is extremely admirable

[davidogundipe]

Can we all agree that Batman and captain America are among the goats of their respective franchises without bad mouthing any of them.

1:24 Batman was breathing hard.. at least the comic creators hinted that were the fight to go on, Cap’s superhuman endurance would’ve won the day. Batman deserves mad respect for lasting as long as he did.

Cap: "take off the suit and what are you?"

Batman: "genius billionaire playboy philanthropist. What about you? Everything special about you came from a bottle"

Cap: *DAMN IT NOT AGAIN*

[shoken]

This fight was cool because cap and Batman knew they were pawns and weren't trying to kill eachother they battled fair and square in the end. Thumbs up soldier! 👍

[javiercastro]

Give Batman a break, it is phenomenal that despite only being human, his skill, training and tactical brain allow him to take on others despite their greater physical attributes. Heck, he took on Superman!

[aidmcnade]

Everyone arguing over who wins is missing the entire point of the fight. It wasn't about trying to beat each other, it was about mutual respect and honor between famed fighters. That's what this comic was trying to display, that they are equals, and would be partners if it wasn't for their circumstances. It wasn't a death battle. If you don't like that then you might want to get used to it, because it's very, very common in storytelling.

[dirdib]

It makes sense that they'd be evenly matched in terms of skills. CA's strength and endurance should have been superior to Batman's, though, given that he's an augmented human. Of course, they weren't trying to kill one another, just subdue.

[DHworldwide]

Just another great fight in an even greater crossover. Loved Avengers/JLA just wished it include the X Men and Fantastic Four in the overall conflict.

[themost]

Busiek and Perez both killed it in this. Best multi-publisher crossover the industry ever had.

[bigboy]

The sad thing is that the characters themselves can respect each other but there fans can’t do the same 💀

[danieldickson]

This is what I miss from most of today's comic book artists. Clean, clear graphic storytelling. Panels that flow from one to the next, that illustrate and support the narrative, rather than an endless parade of splash pages.

[alessandros.marques]

This was a test of skill. Cap wasn't trying to overpower him.

[The-Yellow-Man]

Something I love about this whole clash is how low key and nuanced it is, more dramatic and based on individual tension. All the while in the background of most shots are mythically overpowered beings punching each other and engaging in fights that would likely shake the planet.

Somehow this fight is the most intense part of all of that absurdity. Really wish the movies would ever take a moment to capture that.

There is one major difference between Cap and Batman: Superhuman body versus Superhuman mind

While Batman is Peak Human in most physical traits, his sharp mind has often crossed the boundary into Superhuman levels, with only Lex Luthor and Brainiac usually being able to match/best him in the DC universe.

On the other hand, Steve Rogers had his body forcefully accelerated to Superhuman levels, but his mind remained the same. He's still a brilliant tactician and an experienced combat veteran, but his mind is firmly within the boundaries of Peak Human levels at his absolute best, with the likes of Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, Mr. Fantastic, and Hank Pym usually being the ones to obtain Superhuman intellect.

Cap's body can keep going well past when a normal human would have died from exhaustion, but Batman's extensive knowledge and martial arts mastery means that he knows the best ways to minimize his own energy usage while maximizing his opponent's in a long-term fight. Add in Batman's homefield advantage by fighting in the city streets at night (when a lot of Cap's early combat experience was military operations during the day), and it's difficult to say who would win if they both went all-out. Granted, both sides are smart enough that they'd at least try to think of a way out of the fight, but if even they can't think of an escape plan, then it'll be the mind of The World's Greatest Detective versus the body of The First Avenger.

These two would fight to a draw. The respect shown was perfect.
Both of these men are honorable and intelligent. No way they would have reason to fight in anger.
