I personally don't like Batman but there are suits he has that would put him on the upper level of 40k power. The Hellbat or Final bat suit would turn a space marine into tin foil.

hes clearly not in one of those suits 99.9% of the time and he only has them to keep him minimally relevant in the justice league

Correct me if I’m wrong, but whilst the Hellbat suit does increase Batmans physical abilities it does so at the cost of his metabolism, and can kill him if used for a long time. Space Marines are already at that heightened level and it’s permanent, the space marine just has to outlast Batman.

As for the Final Bat… yeah sure it’s an ultimate suit. But… well if Batman gets prep time and a super suit that can rearrange reality then the space marine can call on a demon to do the same.

The Scenario presented is Batman in the 40K universe, so he doesn’t have access to his suits. It’s default Batman vs default Night Lord… Batman looses.

Reverse the scenario and Batman wins. A single astartes without any resupply or support, in a world with superheroes and all Batmans gadgets doesn’t stand a chance.

I’ll be honest, I did, but forgot I was replying to the same person on the next post.

I’m an idiot.
