Batman vs Max Payne Weapon Preview

Hey guys. It's been a couple months since my last matchup, and I can still smell explosive materials. After finally getting some energy to finish my matchups, I've compiled the weapons that my next two combatants will use. With that said, let's look at what the iconic Dark Knight will use against against one of video games's most tragic figures. Enjoy!

Batman Weapons
Short Range: Spiked Gauntlets

When Batman gets in close to the bad guys, the first (And last) thing they see are his Spiked Gauntlets. Though they're on the sides of his hands rather than directly on them, they can still damage someone. Not only that, but the gauntlets can also be used in a defensive manner: if a thug with perhaps a pipe or baseball bat comes at you, the spikes can hook onto the weapon is question, and maybe disarm with the flick of the arm.

Mid Range: Batarang

An iconic tool in his arsenal, the Batarang is Batman's calling card. A solid piece of black metal, the Batarang can do a variety of things. Activate switches, knock weapons of out people's hands, and tripping bad guys are just three things this versatile weapon can do.

Explosive: Explosive Gel

More of a tool than a actual weapon, Batman's Explosive Gel still has it's uses. It can be sprayed onto walls & activated to distract enemies, placed on explosive materials to create larger explosions, or maybe even stuck on enemies to take them out quickly.

Fighting Style: Martial Arts

If you're a fan of Batman, that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Caped Crusader is a master of martial arts. His ability to take out gangsters, thugs, and all other manner of crook with various fighting styles is impressive, and woe to anyone that tries to stand up to the Dark Knight.

Max Payne Weapons
Short Range: Brass Knuckles

If you're a criminal, or a cop on the run, chances are you'll have one of these. A simple piece of steel (Ironic, given the name of the weapon) designed to fit over fingers, knuckles make a punch have more oomph, increasing tissue damage and the chance for bone to break.

Mid Range: M9 Beretta

A classic pistol, among civilians, the military, and various police forces. The M9 is a very compact gun: it can easily be hidden in clothing, and taken out in almost an instant. On top of that, the M9 Beretta has plentiful ammunition, and a fair-sized magazine, making for an accessible firearm.

Explosive: Molotov Cocktail

An explosive device that practically anyone can make, the Molotov Cocktail is one of the simplest bombs around. Made from nothing more than a glass bottle (Typically a beer or wine bottle), a noxious fluid (Gas, Napalm, or a combination of various flammable materials), and a rag inserted into the top to light things up, the Molotov Cocktail is a fireball in a bottle.

Fighting Style: Street Fighting

If you've grown up on the streets of the inner city, you had to learn how to defend yourself. Sometimes you picked up boxing, other-times you incorporated wrestling into your moves, or you just mixed a bunch of things together to create your own way of fighting. It might not be the most practical, but it allows one to shift mindsets between fights as one allows it.
