SPEED RACERS MACH 5 VS THE ORIGINAL BATMOBILE (ADAM WEST)

[Pumpkin_Man]

That's what this message board is for, Adrian. It's just for fun, and I thought it to be a change of pace. I use to love both Speed Racer and the original "Bat Man."

To get back to the oroginal topic, however, I still think the Batmobile would win the race, but by a very narrow margine as I stated in my original post. Chuck Norris's Dodge Ram, if entered into the race would likely come in a distant 3rd, because all though the Dodge Ram has a very powerful engine, most of them have automatic transmissions, and they certainly can't compare to the jet powered Batmobile or the hand build Mach 5.

could batman use any of his weapons in this race? they are technically apart of his race car

[Pumpkin_Man]

Well, that's a good point, however Batman and Speed Racer are both good guys, and they would never use the weapons on their cars against other good guys. This is just a friendly race pitting car and driver against car and driver. The weapons can be used to clear obsticles from the road way, but not against each other.

That being said, I still think it would be the Batmobile by a narrow margine.

or they could be used to create obstacles in the raceway, thus making it harder for the tail to catch up. this way they're not shooting each other

[Kolchak]

Chuck Norris IS a weapon!!

[Pumpkin_Man]

That's one way of looking at it, but then that would be cheating. Batman and Speed Racer are heros, not villans, so they woud never cheat. Don't forget, we're talking the original 1960s Adam West Batman here, not the "Dark Knight" Batman. Speed Racer is also very conciencious about doing what is right. He even offered to help a railroad engineer clean up the mess that was made by the Mamouth Car when the train was derailed. So weapons could only be used to clear obsticles out of the way, not for evil purposes.

Adam West's Batman was a straight up hero. Some other interpretations of the character have him straddling a much more gray line. I think there's a place for both characterizations, but I wish they would do more of the heroic character.

[Pumpkin_Man]

I can't swear this, but I think the original 1030s "Batman" comic strip was a lot more like the dark and brooding character portrayed in the later "Matman" movies then the way it was portrayed by Adam West. Don't get me wrong. I agree that Adam Wests portrayal of the Caped Crusader was a lot more heroric, but that show was intended as a satire of 'super hero' tv shows, and was done in a very comedic fashion. Adam West, to me, was THE archytpical Batman, because he was my first exposure to the "Batman" franchise.

As for the Adam West Batmobile and the "Dark Knight" Babmobile, I would give them both a great rating, one because it was state of the art back in the 60s, and had it's own 1960s unique look, and the "Black Knight" car because of it's totaly 21st Century awesomeness.

Correct Mike. Batman was originally depicted as dark and brooding, much as Nolan/Bale's character was. The main reason he chose a bat was to scare the underworld, noting that crooks were superstitious and cowardly. (Weird... Stevie Wonder's Superstitious is on the radio as I type this. Shiver!)

[Pumpkin_Man]

Speed Racer was also a very "Adam West Batman" style of hero, too. Speed never did anything that was wrong according to the story line. He was a martial arts expert, and his car had a lot of gadgets. The one advantage that the Mach 5 had over the Batmobile is that it could be driven under water.

Chuck Norris could destroy the Batmobile and Mach 5 with just a few whiskers from his atomic powered beard. Then while wearing his snake skin boots win the Indy 500, Daytona 500, Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix and Grand Theft Auto, without leaving his driveway.

Then...

Chuck would go back inside his mansion and totally dominate Bat Girl and Trixie until neither girl could walk, crawl or speak. But they'd both have a smile bigger than most galaxies.

Btw...Chuck Norris doesn't need a vehicle that can drive underwater. When water sees Chuck, it just gets up and moves out of his way.

[Pumpkin_Man]

I think you have Chuck Norris and Superman mixed up.

Mike

[Kolchak]

Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas.

[Pumpkin_Man]

Yeah, but don't forget. Superman is from the planet Crypton. Chuck Norris is just a mere Earthling.

Mike

[Kolchak]

Chuck is just a mere Earthling? Kryptonite can kill Superman. NOTHING can kill Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris has a vacation house at Chernobyl. He goes there to work on his tan.

Chuck Norris once smoked 5,000 packs a day for 10 years straight just so he could get cancer. Then he pulled his own lungs out and hosed them down with Coors beer which not only removed the cancer but also added 7,000 points to Chucks IQ. His IQ now stands at infinity times 12.

Superman challenged Chuck Norris to an Octagon Cage Fight. The referee said....ring the bell. Superman woke up three weeks later in the ICU with a severe concussion and every bone in his body broken, and a tattoo of Ricky Martin on his chest.

Lois Lane and Superman got divorced right after Lois had a baby. The baby was a male child who only answered to the name Little Chuck. He was born with a blond beard, wearing denim pants and shirt, snakeskin cowboy boots, and had a Dodge Ram pickup outside in the hospital parking lot. The baby got out of his crib and walked over to Superman and gave him a roundhouse kick so hard that Superman thought he was Jimmy Olson. He then proceeded to get all the nurses in the Natal care unit pregnant. He was only 14 hours old at this point.

It's even in the Bible....

On the 6th day God created the heavens and the earth. Looked down and said....Hey! Isn't that Chuck Norris?

When God said, Let There Be Light. Chick Norris said, Say Please.

Take a look at the Justice League Headquarters. Chuck holds the lease.

Superman comes from a planet that had many of his kind. Chuck Norris is unique and one of a kind. He didn't even come from a planet. Chuck Norris just IS!

Scientists now know why Krypton blew up. The people of Krypton destroyed their own world and all life on it because they were too embarrassed that Chuck Norris would beat up the whole planet.

They let Superman live so he could serve as comic relief for Chuck Norris.
