OK, so let’s run them head-to-head, just like in those magazines…
The Ride
Batman – The cool Bat-mobile. So many different versions, but the most popular one is the original long one. With flaming exhaust. As seen in the first movie.
Darth Vader – No specific ride, except a special edition Tie Fighter, as seen in Episode 4. Got his ass kicked by Han Solo.
- Score 1 for Bats.
The Crib
Batman – He has the Wayne mansion. Yawn. And also the Bat-cave. Housemate? Alfred the butler.
Darth Vader – Death Star. Now this is cool. Plus if some planet is blocking your way, Kaboom!
- Score 1 for Vader.
The Girls
Batman – Lots of love interests: Julie Madison, Chase Meridien, Vicki Vale, Talia al Ghul, etc. Something about girls being attracted to the strong silent type.
Darth Vader – No love life since Padme Amidala. Anyway, since that incident in the volcano, it has left him, how shall we say, incomplete…
- Score 1 for Bats.
The Clothes
Batman – Originally, was the cloth suit, then it was rubber/latex, lately he’s more inclined to metal. Worst thing is spending 20 minutes putting on that armour and then you have to pee.
Darth Vader – Metal armour suit. Poofter cape. Shiny helmet with X-ray vision. (“Hot babe coming! Hot babe coming!â€). Definitely cooler.
- Score 1 for Vader.
The Army
Batman – Fights alone. Well, sometimes Robin the Gay Icon helps. But not much. Seeing that kid’s hairy naked legs just turns you off.
Darth Vader – Massive army of Stormtroopers, Battle droids, officers, etc. The ultimate dictator-Dark Lord.
- Score 1 for Vader.
The Rogue’s Gallery
Batman – The most impressive array of baddies in comic-dom: Joker, Two-Face, Riddler, Bane, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Ra’s Al Ghul, Man-Bat. So many more. Whipped everyone of them.
Darth Vader – Hmmm… Betrayed Obi-wan. Killed Mace Windu. Betrayed his own Master, Sidious. Beaten by the rebels.
- Score 1 for Bats.
Final Score: Tied at 3-3.
Looks like we need to have a rematch. To be continued…

You really watched too many movies.
anjali
To be shallow, will go for looks and the abs. So Batman wins 😉
Simon
Woo-hoo!
Jason
Batman uses fighting skills and gadgets to fight.
Darth Vader uses a light saber and the force. Undeniable, the force is stronger lah~! Can foresee the future, can cast lightning, light saber that can cut through almost everything except another light saber, can throw, can pull, can choke.
Another point for Darth Vader.
Fredy

keng ?
here come Spiderman and Superman, asking Simon: why aren’t we in your comparison chart? Are we not cool?
yuin
plus daft vader can do the remote choking thingy…he’s definately way cooler than batman.
