SDCC: Left 4 Dead Tank vs. Batman photo

While the age-old question of "Who would win a fight: Batman or a Left 4 Dead Tank?" may never get answered, at least we can see what that might look like. 

Thanks to three months of hard work from Nerdfellowship.com's Rob Heath, one of a few Left 4 Dead Tanks roamed the floors of San Diego Comic-Con. The 35-pound monster costume was made from a combination of foam, fleece, and latex, with built-in forearm crutches to nail this creature's gorilla-like size.

Pulling it all together were built-in speakers which played the Tank's theme music, as well as a series of roars and grunts, grabbed directly from the PC game. 

As for our guesses as to who would win in a fight, The Tank (Rob Heath) sent us an email letting us know about his costume. As for Batman, we haven't heard from him at all; we can only conclude he's dead.

Batman: 0, Tank: 1.

Tank wins. Batman needs to be feared or otherwise given enough time to analyze weakness. Tanks is too fast and hits too hard. Game Over.

The only way batman could win is if he ran and came back with Molotovs

Do not underestimate the random well timed objects Batman has in his utility belt. I'm sure he has some Bat-tovs in there somewhere, or some Bat-Tank repellant.

Look at that Tank suit, then look at batman's suit, you know the Tank is gonna win. But if Batman had time to plan...

That's the thing, Batman doesn't have time to plan. He'd just be chilling in Gotham City and then the tank music would play and then "OH SHIT, TANK!" I mean, Batman is quick on his feet, don't get me wrong.

And I'm told he can breathe in space, but one man (even a Batman) versus a tank could end terribly.

Batman has faught Bane and Killer Croc many times, he could easily adapt to fighting a tank.

Batman would obviously have anti-tank spray.

What is that, a Rob Lefeld Batman? What's with all the huge pouches?

If Green Arrow can take out Solomon Grundy, Bats would have no problem with a tank.

Batman has beaten bane several times. A tank is basically just a dumb bane (albeit stronger)

Tdiddy is right. Batman's handled bigger, crazier enemies than a Tank. Batman wins, hands down. Why is this even a legitimate question?

Necros should cosplay as a Tank. Then we could kill two birds with one stone. And by stone, I mean Molotov cocktail.

Maybe they wouldn't fight; maybe they'd just hang out and play Wii Sports Resort.

So...I guess the real question is who would win in a game of WSR bowling?!

@ RiotMonster;

I don't think Batman would want us to trace the e-mail back to the bat-cave where it came from. O_o

I think the major problem here is that Batman doesn't KILL. He doesn't. So now his challenge become to SUBDUE the Tank (so he can study Zombifying and come up with a cure using science and save the Tank). Yeeeeah... good luck with that whole "subdue" part..
