•  Or, you know, people could be trained to defend themselves. As is the point of martial arts. Then maybe Bats wouldn't have been thrown to the ground and had his face beaten. 

• Vegas Tribune headline: Crappy Chappy Smashes Slap Happy Batty

• In all fairness any self repecting batmen should be able to handle themselves in a fight  Bruce Wayne is proficient in like fifty martial art styles 

• Robin isn't real he was invented by comics publishers to appeal to their target audience , the real Batman has too much integrity to endanger the life of a minor by regularly exposing him to the criminaly insane. 

• Batman works best alone 

• "I MUST BREAK YOU" ! 

•  You haven't seen Steven Seagal's last movie, but then again who has?

•  Christ, forget I said anything.  Yes, I come to boards that are mostly anonymous to promote myself to a bunch of people who don't know me at all.  Yes, you've got it, that's my sinister plan.  Next time I write a comment I'll take ten minutes or so to think out whether I could better reword it to make it neutral and absolutely straight-forward.  Just leave it be.   I apologize to everyone on this site for somehow using this as a platform to promote my new career as a cage fighter in the Phillipines.  I apologize to costumed Batman as well who undoubtedly has found my comment and was emotionally damaged by it.  And lastly I apologize to you fellows who had to take time out of your day to set me straight on how wrong I am as a human being.

•  You're right. Everyone on the planet, regardless of age, vocation, etc. should be trained fighters with years of experience. That way, when they randomly get in a fight over a silly argument, someone actually gets hurt and they'll look SUPER COOL doing it. Oh wait, no, that's stupid. How often do you look for opportunities to tell everyone how much tougher and how much of a better fighter you are than other people on the internet. COMMENT IS SUPER LAME.

• I got head-butted by Wesley Willis......He was great!! Rock on London Rock on Chicago Wheaties, breakfast of champions 

•  Not being a feminist or anything, just noted that neither of them is competent at throwing a punch.  I'd probably be more affected by this video, but after seeing the assault in that McDonalds a couple of weeks ago, I'm sadly jaded to the situation a bit.

• Question: should this also be another moment where Batman peed his pants? >:3

•  Ah, I see someone else had the same idea.  Mine went like this in a chat: To: Vegas Batman From: Batman, Inc. Subject: Re: Termination Attachment: http://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/05/batman_meets_his_greatest_foe_belligerent_man_in_a.php Dear Vegas Batman, We are sorry, but upon reviewing the attached video, we no longer believe that you are capable of acting as a fitting representative of this company.  Your services are no longer required here at Batman, Inc. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely, --B. Wayne, Chairman

• Although I cant tell what happened seeing that the whole thing wasnt posted. I can say it looks like the guy in the Batman costume was just trying to have some fun and the other guy started making fun of him and took it too far. In which case when punches started flying, someone should have stepped in and helped Batman beat the shit out of him.

• Hmph. The bystanders, they do nothing! ... Paging Rorshach.

•  Wesley Willis! I got his greatest hit albums years ago and have been a fan since Rock n Roll Mcdonalds, Chicken Cow and I Whupped Batman's Ass. Lucky enough to catch him in concert before he passed.

• This man joins the ranks of Wesley Willis  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0AcpqdF00M

• That wasn't Batman that was Putzman.

• Why in the world would someone antagonize a guy in a superhero costume? That's just ASKING to be put all over the internet.

• Because it would be so much more fun to push them both into oncoming traffic. duh.

• That's why the real Batman has a sidekick, only guys like Superman can work alone. 

• Now I know how Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark will be like. It begins and ends badly.  

• My biggest issue is that neither man could fight for shit.  I'm a woman and I could have probably kicked both of their asses just because they have the technique of elementary school kids.

• Not really. He offers people (especially Kids in Vegas on vacay with their parents) a Photo Op. There's no obligation, and I didn't feel hassled at all when I saw these guys the last time I was in LV. And who's to say that they don't have a second "real" job as well? Maybe he's Batman by day and works at McDonalds at night. That's actually easy to do in Vegas since most everything is 24 hours there (to support the gambling). Sure unemployment is high like everywhere else, but how can we judge some guy by a video where he was assaulted doing what by all accounts is "a job"?

• Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Just like on Hollywood Blvd in LA. A couple of friends of mine went to vegas for their honeymoon and got pics with spiderman and Darth Vader too. I'm pretty sure that "Batman" was just doing his job, and some asshat came in and started clowning him while he's trying to make a buck. Sure, the caped crusader should have just walked away, but seriously I'm pretty sure that the jackhole in the polo started it... to vegas for their honeymoon and got pics with spiderman and Darth Vader too.

• It seems to be a very very bad week for Bruce Wanye's Batman Inc. http://www.comicsbeat.com/2011/05/12/batman-police-arrested-in-michigan-was-a-repeat-costumed-crusader/

• As was I. To: Bruce Wayne, CEO, Batman Inc. From: Regional Dir. Batman Inc. SW Div. Re: LV Batman. LV post detemined to be beyond the capabilities of said employee. Suggest re-assignment to more suitable position. Bat Mail Room always in need of staffing. The SW Div. strongly supports a policy against Bat Supervisors recruiting family members as regional Batmen. We ask that the Board give this their full consideration. Thank You.

• Looks like the huge guy in white forgot his Bane suit... because I´m sure he was Bane. 

•  That michigan guy was out for justice though! He had pepper spray and an extendable baton and everything!

• Hey at least he's trying to earn his money and not taking a government handout even if it's not honorable work! I applaud someone who at least takes initiative to try to make a living.

• I wish this wasn't on the internet.  It proves that people are crap and won't help... plus it brings shame to the cowl.  There was already a Faux-Bat that was arrested in Michigan this week.  Batman needs some positive news.

•  That is the worst Jeff Dunham commercial ever. Also Batman looks like the fake batman from The Dark Knight.

• This is actually part of TDKR filming. Much like the fake Batmans in the beginning of TDK, this movie will have an even more depressing scene of fake Batmans getting themselves into trouble.

• Oh, they both lived? I honestly don't care what happens to either of these guys.  Even if one of them died, the most I would say is at least they weren't able to pass on their genetics and/or character flaws to the next generation.  The only time to step in is when the fight carries into the crowd.

•  That exactly how it is. You see them all the time in Vegas. Just taking pics with family and such for a fiver. I think the polo dude interrupted a photo or tried to get one for free and the dude spoke up.

• Yeah I've seen that movie. The guy is a fucking nut job.

• You hear one of the onlookers say something like "The other guy punched him in the chest" supporting batman's version of the events. 

• And thus endeth the lesson of the difference between fantasy and reality. 

• I believe you mean "A Goddamn Batman."

• I didn't know that mafia hits were just slap fights these days. *sigh* It's been a long slow decline since the days of Al Capone....

• I got that vibe too.  The video starts out with Batman telling Polo to "keep you hand off (garble garble garble)." Polo Shirt needs to find something better to do with his time than pick on Vegas street performers.

• Me too, I thought it looked like him especially when I saw other footage that showed the grey hair.  The only problem I had with that theory is that his Batsuit was nicer but then again he was exactly the type of DB that would provoke a fight thinking he could actually win. 

• The worst part is you hear someone go "Someone should break it up" and someone else going "I'm not doing that shit" or something similar.  Then who winds up breaking it up?  Some lady with a camera walking by.  I don't mean it to belittle women or whatever (I'm a girl myself), but all these big "macho" men just standing around gaping like idiots are too afraid of ruining their rep or what have you to say "stop" to a nerd and a douchebag in the middle of a slapfight.

• And Joker, Catwoman, Bane, Mr. Freeze, Riddler, etc have such a hard time why? I hate people like this. Dress in a costume and stand around hoping that people give you money. This is barely above the homeless guy with a sign. Get a REAL job. I know unemployment is high in Vegas, but this is equivalent to begging.

•  While Batman was getting into a slap fight with misc tourist; just out side of the frame, Mickey Mouse and Darth Vader where going to come to the aid of the Dark Knight, but Jack Sparrow stopped them and said it might might be bad for business.  (Sadly, this could apply to both the Vegas Strip and Comic Con.)

•  I was wondering if it was him.

• Several times a week I pass by Grauman's Chinese Theater and see well over a dozen people in different costumes doing this whole 'take a picture with "X" thing, and its kinda sad.  None of them look like its fun, a few look full tilt batshit crazy, the tourists are usually rude or nasty and in general its an ugly thing to see.  And its no better at places like Disneyland - I've heard stories about how those poor bastards get punched daily.  Sometimes you wish there was a real Batman around.  A Frank Miller Batman.

• According to Maxwell Allen, the batman impersonator, he was pushed by the other guy, which then led to the video taped event. http://strip.8newsnow.com/news/news/costumed-characters-talk-about-dangers-strip/103699 

• If Batman had started punching that other guy in the head when he had him in the headlock, he probably would've won, so let this be a lesson, kids: If you're lucky enough to get the other guy into a headlock, always start punching your opponent in the head.

• I can't help but feel Jeff Dunham is somehow responsible... 

• I'm not wearing hockey pads... 

• So it is, or at least he certainly looks like him, and apparently he used to be a mafia hitman :o according to him anyway

• My soul hurts and FFF isn't even up yet...this doesn't bode well.

• This is just really ugly.  The non-bat-man hopefully spent the night in jail.

•  Well, if he had his back broken and been paralyzed, he would have brought in Azreal to act as his proxy for 6 months while he recovered. Duh.

•  This is the same panhandler Batman from "Confessions of a Superhero".  He's extremely aggressive with tourists and has been arrested multiple times stemming from his days outside Grauman's Chinese Theater in LA. Pretty sure he has mental problems as well.

• I'm not convinced that this was some Batman nerd.  More like some guy who dresses in the costume and poses for pics with tourists and maybe get a buck or two for each.

• Batman is awesome and what makes this funny and kind of embarrassing is that we love Batman cause he is so kick ass, sinister, calm in a confrontation etc etc.  and here we have a guy who pretty much sucks at fighting.  We say bad things about the guy who posted this but it is funny.  People are mentioning worst case scenarios, thats like saying if you eat that cheesburger you could die  of cholestrol.  Lets just take it, no one was hurt badly and it was freaking funny.  Props tpo the batman nerd who took it all, dresssing in public like his hero and attempting to fight in it as well.  ... Cate :) 

•  I was going to say something along those lines... "Looks like Batman Inc.'s standards are pretty low these days..."

• Until like 0:48 I would have thought these guys were just faking it...

• Clearly Las Vegas Batman was not the kung-fu master he claimed to be when he applied to Batman inc.

• I don't know what's sadder seeing a nerd dressed as Batman nerd slapping some guy in until he gets thrown on the floor or the fact that I own that exact same costume

• Because with that kind of mentality, what's the point of stopping anything, ever? Where do you draw the line to end the confrontation? What if either one of the guys had a knife, or worse yet, a gun? What if it wasn't even that severe, but when the man was thrown to the ground he broke his back or neck and the unnecessary beating to his face left him paralyzed or, at worst, dead? The reason you can say your statement is because you have the advantage of hindsight knowing that nothing of ill happened to either person. We could go on and on about the supposed "bystander effect", but that's beyond the scope of this post.  

• This just makes me sad...

• Way to represent Batman.  I bet the cops were cracking up when that came over the radio. "unit nine twenty please respond to a disturbance on 4th and Williams. Suspect is a Caucasian male dressed as Batman nerd slapping man in white polo. unit response  " copy ha ha please haha advise snort."

•  Why should anyone bother stopping it?  Let these two dumbasses slap it out and then everyone walk away.  Done.

• 坐落在南昌繁华的中山路上! "Your slap-fu is pig dung!" 党以武装起义的实际行动 "Oh! You have offended my honor! Have at you!"

•  Okay - you REALLY have to include the remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cuI47wn26k

• It's kinda hard to judge who the biggest asshole is though since it doesnt start at the beginning of the argument. It almost looks like Batman is just trying to get the guy to back off. Freak him out so that he moves away. I dunno, mayb i'm wrong. 

• I agree with the above, but isn't the idiot posting it on his site just as bad....

• I hate people. the idiot dressed up as a comic book character, the douchebag pounding his face in while he's on the ground, the fool who filmed it and decided to showcase the ignorance on youtube, and ALL the people who stood there watching, doing not one God damn thing. Only one person had the balls to attempt to stand in and stop this shit.   Look, I'm all about settling your differences. If violence is involved, so be it. I'm sure faux-batman had it coming and probably deserved a couple jabs or two, but everything beyond that point was a fucking FAIL.  

• " I'm the goddamned Batman!", would probably have worked better.
