Yesterday, there was a story of Batman being arrested in Michigan. Now, video has surfaced of the caped crusader brawling with a man on the Vegas strip. And he doesn’t win.
It’s unclear if the fight is staged. Initially it appears to be given the over-played, and comedic, actions of the Dark Knight and the supposed random civilian. But as the video progresses, and the punches fly, you start to get the feeling that there’s an actual fight happening. That’s especially true once the civilian body slams Batman and repeatedly punches him in the face while on the ground.
It starts with an orange cone:
Then features some fake Spider-Man taunts:
Soon the punches start:
Then the big body slam:
And finally the repeated slugging on the ground:
Here’s the full version of the fight:

Another view shows the tail-end of the fight after the body slam, and captures the full effect of the punches:
Someone also caught up with the civilian afterwords, who seemed quite proud of his fighting skills:

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 11:04amSick. And look at all those people…just watching…doing nothing!
If they are so wimpy that they are afraid to stop the fight,
They could have at least been calling 911 to bring the police…
How many have their cell phones to their ears…or are they videoing?
How many look MORE than passive?
Remember Flight 93….Americans…this is just a practice!
And they let the criminal bully just walk away, without an arrest?

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 12:48pmThis is what happens to young people when they play too many violent video games. They become desensitized to violence and have no empathy for other people. They are sick and disgusting people. The makers of these video games should be shot.

Posted on May 13, 2011 at 8:15amReally? Violent video games? So you’re saying young people who play violent video games are at fault, even when most games like the one‘s you’re talking about are rated Mature, and can’t be bought by young people? So their BAD PARENTS bought them a game, and this somehow is linked to a guy in a batman costume getting thrashed? Follow that up with video game makers should be shot and the only person I see here who is desensitized to violence and lacking in empathy is you.

Why do you think “drinking in public” is a crime? Not a problem in Vegas. That type of law is only good for dredging more money from the taxpayer in YOUR community. Are you one of those “there ought to be a law” people? Don’t you have enough laws to “protect” you?
