Batman is another powerless hero who we have seen throughout many movies, television shows, video games, and comic books. Though he is powerless he still defeats every villain he comes across. He seems to have endless gadgets on his belt, seems like something for every situation. Detective Comic #33 was the first comic that revealed Batman's origin of him witnessing his parents get shot at the hands of a mugger. Later, at the graves of his parents Bruce Wayne says, "by the spirit of my parents I will avenge their deaths by spending the rest of my life warring on all criminals"(Detective Comic #33, Finger). It seems like has done just that, he seemed to piss every bad guy off, and the cops didn't know if he was good or bad at first. Every challenge or problem he ever faced he seemed to just be able to solve, and that's why people loved him so much (also hes kind of a bad***). His villains don't seem to have superpowers either, take Joker for example, he is just crazy and messed up in the head, but people love him. No matter what, Batman always beats him.

Moon Knight
Abilities:
Superb Athlete
Master martial artist and hand to hand combat
Immune to psychic attack
Skilled acrobat, gymnast, and detective
Expert aviator and marksman
Posses vast access to both sophisticated and traditional weaponry

Moon Knight, also powerless, seems like just a Marvel version of Batman. Difference is Marc has parents (**ba doom tss**). Marc Spencer was born in Chicago, Illinois, he was a rabbi's son. As an adult he spends time training to be a heavyweight boxer, US Marine, and a mercenary. Later in Egypt he and his friend, Frenchie, befriend Raoul Bushman, a mercenary,  He later goes on an archaeological dig, with his friends and Dr. Peter Alruane. They find the tomb of Khonshu, Egyptian god of the moon, Bushman wants to loot the find, so he murders Dr. Alruane. Marc, upset by this action, challenges Raoul to a hand to hand fight, he was beaten nearly to death and left laying in the middle of the desert, in sub-zero temperatures, until some desert wanders, who worship Khonshu, find him and take him to their temple. Marc's heart stops. Khonshu appears to Marc in a vision, and tells him he can have a second chance if he becomes his "avatar" on Earth. Marc awakens, wraps himself in the silver shroud that covers Khonshu's statue, and confronts Bushman again. He defeats Bushman this time. He then goes back to America with Frenchie, Marlene Alruane, Dr. Alruane's daughter, and the statue of Khonshu. He decides to become a crime fighter and creates a silver costume, that's based on the silver shroud, and becomes the Moon Knight. Am I the only one who thinks this guy should have a movie made about him? In the comic books he occasionally teams up to fight crime with Spider Man. Moon Knight defiantly gets my vote in the "looks department".

We put them against each other because they are practically the same, both are wealthy, both know martial arts, both are detectives, and both are super cool. Bruce might have Marc in the "brains department" it would be a great battle to see though.
