One is a masked, muscle-bound power fantasy. The other… uh… sorry, we forgot which one we were talking about. Doesn’t matter, though -- the important thing is seeing them duke it out. Huh? Plot? What does plot have to do with this? They’ll punch each other, and that’s what we’re here for. Pfft, “plot.”

![IT'S A BATTLE OF POLITICAL OUTLOOKS. Batman is the ultimate example of rugged individualism, using his wealth to lead a one-man crusade against crime. Predators are likely to be sponsored by their government, seeing as how hunting is a big part of their culture. CONFLICT IS INEVITABLE.](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/0/2/803202.jpg)

![Round 4 SHARP EDGES Yes, Predators have some nasty- looking blades. But Batman grows edgier and edgier with every passing movie. No alien metal can match that. BATMAN WINS!](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/2/0/0/803200.jpg)
