As i mentioned in @Song2's thread about what you wanted to do when you were a kid, i wanted to be an assassin/super-villain. Again, i was a little asshole kid. When i walked in banks as a child, i started immediately casing the joint. If i saw a person walking down the street, i thought about interesting situational ways i could make their death right then and there look like an accident (see
@Ghost Bro, told you i was a morbid fuck). I would think of "deaths" for my friends, if they were ever to cross me. Knowing what drove them, what they feared most, etc., I would use that information and in my head plan out what would be the absolute most terrifying experience for them. They were specific, and tailor made to only them.
@Mix6APlix woulda been happy with the sick fuck i used to be.
That being said i grew out of it, matured, got some much needed help with my life and now i'm cool as a cucumber.
That thread got my creative murder juices flowing again in regard to superheroes when mix said something about how we coulda been killing Batman this whole time. So why not? Let's "Kill" Batman. I'll let you in on a little secret: It won't be as hard as you think.

BATMAN
Alright, let's break this down harder than a prime DX. Batman is a supreme human bad ass. Keyword: HUMAN. He's just a man. He may be one of the smartest, most skilled, and powerful men on the DC earth but he is still human. He makes mistakes. He gets hurt. He has emotions. He gets tired. Everything that makes him human is what will be the key to killing him.
His strengths:
Intelligence - Consistently depicted as one of the 3 smartest humans on the DC earth.
Wealth - Vast resources are at his disposal.
Detection - "The World's Greatest Detective" isn't just a fancy nickname. He has the ability to forensically analyze a scene and know what went down there.
Technology - As the owner of one of the DC earth's leading technology firms with a cutting edge R&D department, Batman has access to some of the most advanced gadgets and weapons on the planet.
Allies - This cannot be overstated. Batman has a vast network of informants, brokers, spies, social and economical authority figures, and fucking superheroes. Some of his allies are so powerful they have been likened to demi-gods.
His weaknesses:
Concern for others - He will place himself in danger to protect non-combatants.
Lack of superpowers - There are numerous powered humans that share the same weakness of humanity. He cannot inherently fly to safety. He cannot inherently stop a building from collapsing. Etc.
Humanity - Seperate from "Lack of superpowers". As previously stated, this is an area that has no true workaround. Yes, the guy has a mech suit. Yes, the guy can incapacitate most civilians with a single blow. Yes, he can do all these amazing things, but at the core of the matter, he is still only human. He can be stabbed, he can be shot, he can exsanguinate, he can drown, he can be poisoned, he grows tired, he gets hungry, his body produces fatigue toxins, he makes mistakes... The list of potential hazards and fuck ups from being human is exhaustive.
Proposed method of demise:
Let's face it people, in a world of magical monsters, planet destroying super weapons, and beings who can crush a man with a thought, Batman would be incredibly easy to kill in the grand scheme of things. It is his popularity that sustains him. The writers need him to live to sell stories, so he lives. Simple as that.
In every scenario where you would kill Batman, you would use subterfuge, surprise, and overwhelming firepower. You could create a problem where Batman would feel compelled to respond and have the area filled to the brim with claymore mines. Does he have a mech suit that would protect him against such an attack? Yes. Does he wear it all the time? Hell no. He just rolls up on mufuggers without so much as the bottom part of his "Deadly T" protected. There's no armor there. Shoot him in the face, the bullet goes right through and into his spinal column.
Even this street level thug can figure that one out.
Hell, you could make him offer himself up to you if you place the right people in jeopardy. Capture Robin? He'll come. Put Catwoman's pussy on the chainwax? Oh he'll be there.
Point is, yes Batman poses some interesting challenges, but the means in which to destroy him are much more readily available to the public than say, fucking Kryptonite.
In short: Surprise, Overwhelm, Coerce and Destroy.

So what do you got for me TMMAC? How would you kill Batman?
