Batmobile En Garde! Mach 5

THE BATMOBILE vs. THE MACH FIVE

THE SCENARIO

The yearly "Iorn Man 2200". One of the most dreaded and anticipated of races.

A perilous Cannonball-Run across the Canadian continent from Vancouver to Montreal!

It's legality is questionable... some of the terrain is grueling, and only the strong survive.

Both Speed Racer and The Batman are on hand for the race... each for reasons of their own. There will be drama, criminals to thwart and action O-Plenty! But one thing is for sure, and that is only One will cross the finish line first.

Vote for the winner in a battle we had to call....

Four on the Floor, give it more!

Fight suggested by Kwakerjack

THE SPORTS BOX

PAT: LIVE from the finish line of the Annual Iornman rac... I'm Pat Summers!

JAY: And I'm Jay Peoples. Boy there has been big excitement all the way across the Canadian continent as we watched Speed and the Bat thwart criminals and jockey for position.

PAT: Indeed! One of the highlights of the match was when Batman popped a couple of rockets into Speeds brother, "Racer X"... stopping his quest for the finish line real quick.

JAY: Yes.. lets roll that footage again!

PAT: Oh, that's great! You know, it's really the look on Racer X's face that makes the shot work. And that fireball...!

JAY: Just like a doomed bunny, Pat... Just like a doomed bunny. Now let's see what the people who wrote in had to say...

YOUR OPINIONS

BONDALLANBOND writes:

MACH 5 WILL WIN! COME ON , THIS IS A RACE, AND THE BATMOBILE IS JUST A ROCKET ON WHEELS. THERE IS no way OF CONTROLLING IT, AND IT ONLY GOES AT HALF THE SPEED OF SOUND. MACH 5 IS MUCH FASTER (SPEED RACER SHOULD HOLD THE LAND SPEED RECORD)


Eddie writes:

Speed Racer is big and bad only when he's in his big, bad car...Batman is big and bad EVERY FREAKIN' WHERE HE GOES!!!!! Even Batgirl could take that Speed Racer punk. So you KNOW the Batmobile ROCKS!!!! Now Batmobile vs. KITT, on the other hand...


Nightrider writes:

Batmobile all the way! The Mach 5 may have some pretty high-tech gizmos, but Batman's been putting all sorts of state-of-the-art doohickeys into his mean justice machine!


Telperion writes:

His first name is Speed. This can only mean one thing. How do you think that he aquired those lightning-fast abilities to talk about the plot of the last episode while bouncing down a cliff? Also, the Mach-5 has everything concieveable to win.

Really, all Speed has to do is shove that flying spy-cam up the tailpipe of the Batmobile, and Batman is forced to beg rides off of pissy Canadians who constantly titter at him in French.


Godfrey Lee writes:

The Mach 5 is more advanced than the old batmobile. Unless Batman decides to use one of his newer ones, Speed Racer will already win the race before he presses the pedal.


wolverine writes:

Its gonna be a good race and batmobile gonna win this race!!!!!


Sailor Xena writes:

This would be a close one, but there will be a decisive victor. Even though booth the Batmobile and the Mach 5 have the speed, horse power, and gadgets to push them both to the finish line, only Speed Racer has the racing experience. Batman has never used his car for anything else other then trips between Gothem and the Bat Cave; one wrong turn and whamo; Bruces insurane premiums go up. So ...."Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer goooooooooo"!


Lord Kthululu writes:

OK,OK, the Mach 5 is the slicker vehicle, but the 60's was still the time when American-made still meant somethin' and Japanese industries hadn't quite hit it's stride yet. So, Batman drive Go Mifune off the road!


Hermeez writes:

The batmobile would kick butt, because it has all the cool gadgets and weapons to use against the mach-5. It could just fire one of it's glue-rockets at it, and it would be stuck for good. The batmobile also has the nifty jet engine firey thing at the back, which makes it go really fast.. haven't you ever seen the TV show?

I'd hafta say Batmobile all the way!


Eric Sticker-on-a-broken-window writes:

: If it was just about the Cars then it's the Mach 5 all the way. BUT Speed vs Batman ? Come on Speed is still trying to get into Trixe's shorts, he's more on a par with Robin. Batman would wipe the floor with him in a fair fight. I say that Batman is crossing the finish line, while Speed is playing with Chim Chim.


Dark Queen writes:

Oh Please! It would have to be the batmobile! That car has everything that you would need in a battle while the Mach5 is used for racing. Let's compare: a race car vs. a lethal car used to kick some bad guy butt. All I have to say is that I have seen some prety stupid turn out of some fights (ex. Boba Fett vs Batman. BOBA FETT ALL THE WAY!!!) and if that Mach5 car wins all I have to say is that people should look at the facts and relize that the batmobile would win!!!!!!


Tad writes:

Oh please! The Mach 5 could take the Batmobile without even going past 3rd gear.The only cars that ever even came close to taking the Mach 5 were cars like Cruncher Block's Mammoth Car or Racer X's Shooting Star or the combined efforts of The Car Acrobatic Team.Compared to them,the Batmobile might as well be a Cadillac with cheezy cosmetic additions that make it look like a superhero's car.


Quints23 writes:

Mach 5 is definitely going to win just because it can go much faster than the batmobile, plus the fact that speed racer races it all the time as opposed to the fact that batman never races the batmobile!!!


T-REX (A.K.A Jeff Hayes) writes:

THE MACH 5 is the car to beat.The batmobile give me a break


Shade writes:

I must admit I do not know much about Mach 5. I do know it's fast and from the picture looks to be the more streamline of the two. I will still go wiith the Bat mobile though. Bat Man is packing a jet engine, and from what I have seen it do super duper power steering and the ultimate antilock brakes. Bat Man also has more money so he could get the better car.


Buster Bunny writes:

The Batmoblie is just to sweeeeeeet!!!!


the house writes:

Two famous cars of the tv screen go head to head!!!Thats something I will like to see..But my money is on the mach-5. because it has jumping ablitiys and ths batmobie that i see so far has not. so GO SPEED GO!!!


"J" writes:

What can I say? GO, Speedracer, GO!!!!!!!!!!!! The batmobile is from, like three decades ago. It belongs in the Smithsonian, it proably is actually there, so I vote for Speedracers Mach 5.


Rich Stellato writes:

Tough one to call, but...I have to go with the Batmobile on this one. The only reason I say that is because Batman (and hence, the Batmobile) have stood the test of time. They've been around since DC introduced them in the, what, 1930's? That's roughly sixty years. Speed Racer is relatively the new kid on the block, which gives Batman the experience edge he needs to win.


Ace Kendrich writes:

The Batmobile will win after a long, hard fought battle. While Speed Racer easily has the racing experience on Batman (in fact, didn't he just win the Winston cup in NASCAR...oh, wait that was Jeff Gordon, I always get them mixed up), the Mach 5 simply doesn't have the technological advancements to make it the superior racecar, or not enough of them anyway. The Batmobile in a close one.


Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel writes:

I suppose the first thing to ask would be which Batmobile and which Batman are taking part in the race. If it's Adam West, well...'nuff said. However, I think Speed Racer wins in any case...the Batmobile is just a cool form of transportation, like a Ferrari for instance. The Mach 5 is a licensed race car with a pit crew. Also, Speed wins every week, even with all his dastardly opponents...Batman won't even try anything because he's much too nice. Finally, Speed's monkey can definitely take Robin.


raptor writes:

Batmobile?! Batmobile?! Can someone tell me what kind of world we live in where a car that looks like a bat gets all of Speed Racer's press. Your mechanic needs an enema!!!!!!!!


Grand Master B writes:

the batmobile has it all sown up.... And even if that punk speed came closer batan would just open up a can of whopp@ss on him Nuff said


JUMBO JACK writes:

EVERYONE KNOWS BATMAN CAN BEAT SPEED RACER, WITH HIS FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE BACK OFF HIS CAR AND IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SPEED RACER THAT GETS HIS BUTT KICKED.

WHOEVER SUGGESTED THIS MATCH WAS REALLY DUMB AND MUST HAVE NO LIFE.

THE BATTLE

JAY: O.K... and on that note, lets see how this race is finishing out! Here comes Speed around the last turn now.... The Mach 5 looks pretty beat up!

PAT: And theres the Batmobile! It's a mess, too Jay. Gad, its got one of Speed's big Mach-5 saw blades stuck in one door! Sweet Christmas... there's nothing left for these two to give! All their weapon systems are on Empty!

JAY: It's the straight-away now... and Here comes the bat, letting loose the rest of his Rocket fuel in a last ditch effort to gain the lead!

PAT: What's this? Spridal is popping out of the back of the Mach 5... opening the trunk! My God... he's going to lob Chim-Chim at the Batmobile in a last ditch effort to slow him down...

JAY: No, Pat... it's too late. there goes the batmobile... racing across the finish a hairbreadth in front of Speed Racer.

THE FINAL VOTE

'Nuff Said!

FINAL VOTE:

Batmobile: 74

Mach 5: 53

THE WRAP UP

PAT: That's a wrap! Boy, close one! This has been Pat Summers.

JAY: And Jay Peoples. Go Bat Racer, Go?
