Freddy vs. Jason.Batman vs. Superman. It seems Hollywood is done mining lamecartoons for movie fodder and has moved on to pitting tired franchises against each other. What's next? Hercule Poirot vs. Indiana Jones? (Actually, that'd be good.) Personally, I'd like to see Bugs Bunny vs. Sauron. We know who'd win that battle. What movie battles would you like to see?

At the risk of sounding like a fanboy here, Batman vs. Superman would be incredible if it would be done correctly. Which it won't be. ZAPF. POW. posted by ColdChef at 8:06 AM on August 5, 2002
Uhhhh, hate to burst that bubble of yours, but Jason -vs- Freddy has been in the works for at least 5 years... Production has been stalled for a long time. posted by Dark Messiah at 8:07 AM on August 5, 2002

I've always wanted to see the young, skinny Brando compete in a "Tap Off" against Gregory Hines and Christopher Walken. Possibly adjudicated by Charles Nelson Reilly or Rip Taylor. That or a Tom Cruise-Billy Barty knife fight (no longer possible unfortunately). posted by PinkStainlessTail at 8:22 AM on August 5, 2002

That monkey looks pants.
I understand those words...but not together.
Anyways, I revise that last battle: Anna Nicole Smith vs. Frasermoo in a battle of wits. ;-) The winner would then get the beat down by Charlie. posted by catfood at 9:05 AM on August 5, 2002

Earl Warren v. Antonin Scalia posted by monju_bosatsu at 9:07 AM on August 5, 2002
On a serious note, I think that Hercule Poirot vs. Sherlock Holmes would be a nice movie (BTW, there were no copyrights in Doyle's time so if I wanted I could publish my own Sherlock Holmes mystery, others have actually done that).
Mr T V's more things and ppl than u can shake a stick at
You seriously underestimate my stick-shaking abilities. That is a big list, but it does not feature Pauly Shore. :-( A girl can dream... posted by catfood at 9:26 AM on August 5, 2002

actually dr.dank, if you were a real fanboy, you would know that not only is it possible (yes, batman DOES have kryptonite), but it's actually happened.

How's that for tying it all up in a nice big bow? posted by mr_crash_davis at 11:48 AM on August 5, 2002
What I want is to see a sequel to the movie Maverick, with Russell Crowe playing cards against Mel Gibson.
And since I came up with the idea, I should get at least a cameo where I get to kiss Russell.
I'm just saying... posted by beth at 11:57 AM on August 5, 2002
John Nash off medication vs. Russel Crowe as John Nash on crack. posted by internook at 12:39 PM on August 5, 2002
You didn't specify - are you talking about physical fighting, or dueling math theorems or some such?
Or maybe they could have a Battle Of The Bands?
Russell's band could play against Nash and other "persons of different sanity" (perhaps they could call themselves the "Schizofreaks"). I'll sing with Nash... (hell, I'm a qualified bipolar with at least one psychotic episode behind me).
But do I still get to kiss Russell? That's the important question... posted by beth at 1:17 PM on August 5, 2002

Travis Bickle vs. Lee Harvey Oswald
Travis would, of course, have the upper hand since he has, unlike oswald, shot people before.
"Back...and to the left."
Oswald is not in spell check; closest suggestion is Salad?

But that's the point, SuperWuss is too "good" to kill Batman. Batman ain't afraid to break the rules.
