Finally, it's Bruce Wayne's turn for Great Moments in Badass History. With over seventy years of badass moments to choose from this one was not easy. But in issue number 13 of Superman/Batman, Darkseid gets punked. Not by the invulnerable Superman or the super-powered Amazon Wonder Woman, but by the mere human Batman. Yes, that's right: Batman punked a GOD.
Darkseid kidnapped the new Supergirl and planned to brainwash her to make her an agent of Apokolips.
Armed with Mother Box technology and the sweetest armor ever, Batman takes on the all powerful God of Apokolips.
While Batman takes his beating he informs Darkseid that he has armed five hundred hellspores and plans to detonate them unless Darkseid surrenders. And guess what? Darkseid believes him and does just that.
Darkseid explains that, "Had the Kryptonian or the Amazon taken this gamble they would have lost. They do not have the strength of character it would take to destroy an entire planet to achieve success. But...you. A human..."
Was Batman bluffing? Who knows but one thing is for sure...
THAT was badass.
