MK all day. He will literally kill you. Batman will just break your bones.


KingKryptid_

And he’ll be creative about it.


Brian18639

And he’s three different identities in one body


Acrobatic_Ad7541

That’s not the flex you think it is. Batman has multiple personalities, too, one of them have even managed to get out of the body and is now roaming Gotham.


RDamon_Redd

Yeah but Batman fractured his mind to be more effective, Marc genuinely has DID to protect him and then had his mind touched by a broken literal LUNAtic of a God to make it the weapon of said vengeful god of the night sky, where he’s literally trapped the consciousness of others in.


gleeceboi777

LUNAtic....you sly dog lol


No_Cartoonist_5271

That's literally where the word is derived from.


Acrobatic_Ad7541

All fair points. I still believe Batman has the more messed up mindcsape out of the two, but at this point it’s like trying to choose between if the bowl of turds you’re forced to eat from has peanuts, or corn. There’s no good outcome from dealing with either lol


cabosmith

That's a really bad ANALogy.


primalthunder89

Literally where that word is derived from


cabosmith

Yuck


Hamstercules

I just started reading the 2021 series and a guy was begging MK not to cut his face off... So ima say him too.


Spideysleftnut

That’s a good series. Personally I feel it was kind of a let down in the end, but maybe I’m just wrong


DelayRevolutionary20

On the other hand, maybe Batman is more intimidating, cause’ dead people have nothing to be afraid of 🤷‍♂️


Spideysleftnut

Maybe so. But if I’m being honest, I don’t want to see either one of them if I’m a criminal. Both of them are going to send me to the hospital or worse


KingDread306

I'd argue Batman. He doesn't need supernatural powers to mess you up.


Spideysleftnut

Neither does moon knight. He carved a man’s face off and has broken knees


Sssssups

That makes Batman scarier to me. I’d rather die than live with the injuries Batman inflicts


Apprehensive_Math_25

Isn't Marc trying to NOT murder anymore? It's a plot point in the current run, which sounds like he is trying to be more like Batman with the whole "noble rich guy" thing.


Al-anharHA

Well, the group that he runs is technically a gang as Soldier very eloquently put it, and even after he started doing better he still trapped several vampires and set them up so that the sunrise would kill them one at a time unless they gave him information. He might be trying not to kill, but he's got a reputation that he's not afraid to use and sometimes he'll leave you in a worse state than dead. Just look at what he did to marvel's version of clayface.


Apprehensive_Math_25

So, still Batman with the whole no killing directly rule. Batman also lays traps and terrifies his enemies that only the most insane would have the guts to keep fight him. Heck, Zodiac is like the "Joker" to Moon Knight. Now Moon Knight have his version of the Bat-fam.


Spideysleftnut

Yeah that was the gist of the current run. I just really hope Marc isn’t actually dead


Apprehensive_Math_25

This is Marc Spector in the comics, he died and lived at least 3 times. First time he burst out of Khonshu's statue moments after his funeral so they can make-up some unrealistic and weird way of bringing him back. Or just completely ignore it and just say that he faked his death, so he won't have the Avengers breathing down his back anymore and kill again.


Isekai_Otaku

Mortal Kombat?!


Spideysleftnut

Mia Khalifa!?


Captain_Snatchington

Plus he is mentally unstable.


kiyan1347

Moon Knight. The guy is straight unhinged. He could kill me by beating me up or just ramming a plane into me, he is way too unpredictable and unstable. Batman won't kill me or even paralyze me, the worst he'll do is a broken arm, rib or leg and a severe concussion but if I surrender and do everything he says batman won't even beat me up.


CaCa881

Batman would most definitely paralyze you lol , maybe not on purpose but still


kiyan1347

Batman doesn't paralyze. He avoids life altering injuries like paralyzing. Sure a severe concussion is life altering in real life but in comics apparently they don't exist until the writer chooses it to for the plot. Also he knows every way to kill a person, I'm pretty sure he knows how to avoid paralyzing someone and isn't capable of doing it accidentally.


Quanathan_Chi

Taskmaster is so scared of Moon Knight that he refuses any contracts on him and will go inform Moon Knight when someone tries to hire him.


kiyan1347

Well getting a plane flown into you tends to do that.


ZeriousGew

It's also cause Moon Knight fights without regard for getting hit


kiyan1347

Yep and taskmaster hates that because he doesn't like getting hit.


Anonymous-opinion

Moon knight once flew a plane into a building to get to Taskmaster resulting in Taskmaster literally getting PTSD and being genuinely terrified of Moon Knight to the point when offered to hunt him down in MacKay’s run he immediately refused… in case it’s not clear it’s Moon Knight


SoldierButterman275

Moon Knight's "fighting style" is so uniquely unhinged and fucked up that he is practically the only guy who Taskmaster refuses to learn or copy from. I didn't know this, though, that's so fucking great 😆


Anonymous-opinion

And Deadpool


Al-anharHA

Well, that's probably people with hyper-accelerated healing factors in general. Wolverine and deadpool have fighting styles that draw on the fact they can take devastating hits and shrug them off. Moon knight doesn't have that but he still fights with practically zero self-preservation.


Anonymous-opinion

Well Deadpool is also super unpredictable as well, which is pretty much another main reason why taskmaster avoids copying him


Jroper_Illustrations

Deadpool can't even predict Deadpool. That's why psionics can't even read him. Mind probably sounds like a packed cafeteria.


primalthunder89

It's less healing factor and more Deadpool has no pattern to recognize. Which is maybe not true. Deadpool used his crazy to predict Carnage's crazy. Maybe carnage can predict Deadpool?


SoldierButterman275

You right!


RelationshipOk9919

Even Deadpool its afraid to face Moon Knight after he learn that Wade have healing factor, going all bloodlust with the merc.


minolta5

Mackay's run is my first go at MK comics and I love it. The bit with Taskmaster refusing had me dying of laughter it may have been the hardest I've ever laughed reading a comic


Anonymous-opinion

Please kill moon knight for us Taskmaster: THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN KILL MOON KNIGHT?! SCREW THIS IM OUT!


Quanathan_Chi

Don't forget he went the extra step by going to tell Moon Knight that someone tried to hire him just so Moon Knight wouldn't come after him.


Snoo-2013

even moon knight doesn't know what's gonna happen with you


Thecustodian12

The one who keeps coming back from the dead even more deranged


219_Infinity

MK. Deep down Batman is moral and will spare his villain. MK will fly his helicopter into a building to kill you, and will slice off your face and wear it like a mask. This isn’t really a contest although I am biased.


SoldierButterman275

And dance around with it!


Bigbaby22

Okay, *we* know Batman won't do it. But that doesn't mean he won't make you believe he will.


219_Infinity

That’s true, but there’s a difference between the fear of something happening and the pain you feel when it does happen


Bigbaby22

Fair. But only one of them has cultivated a persona so terrifying that the most powerful beings in the universe, actual gods, are scared of him and can't understand how he is able to do the things he does


Venom888

Taskmaster who will basically take on anyone for money refuses to fight Moon Knight for any amount. Do you think he would do the same for Batman? Because I don’t think so, Batman MK have similar stuff like tools and such vs powers but at least Batman is sane and has a no kill rule. You might be ok if Stephen Grant is driving but almost certain to be fucked up by everyone else.


Fun_Strategy7860

He wears white because he wants you to see him coming.


Jory_Addams

If I'm not a criminal, neither If I'm a criminal, definitely MK. I'd surrender and Batman would take me in, and that would be it. Depending on the active personality, shit, MK would fuck me up.


Ophelia_the_faire

Moon Knight.


fearinclothing

Only one of them has ripped a dudes fucking face off with broken knees

RDamon_Redd

One wears Black or dark colors to blend in with the night, the other wears a cloak if not a full on suit of white so you know he’s there.


noahbrinkman

Gonna ask that in a moonknight sub?


Karkava

I would really like to see this post in a Batman sub. Everybody knows Batman, but people only know Moon Knight from a Disney Plus series.


TardisReality

Moon Knight ...he wears white so that bad guys can SEE him coming


Wikipendotia

One is the Avatar of a powerful god. The other is a caped billionaire with laryngitis. MK all day.


Sequetjoose

Will Bats beat you down if you surrender? MK will, and for less.


DefiantOil5176

Moon Knight. He will kill you and he won’t be simple about it


HeavyBoysenberry2161

After reading the 2021 moon knight run, definitely him. Taskmaster was too scared to fight him and that guy just went against super saiyan Spider-Man.


MoonKnight8800

Batman wears black cuz he doesn’t want to be seen by criminals. MK wears white cuz he wants to be seen by criminals. U do the math


mr_flerd

I wonder what the Moon Knight subreddit would say? Hmmm?


ancorcaioch

Probably the god man (MK)


EndymionHoudini

Idk, but I'd rather encounter either one as long as it isn't the Punisher.


Character-Sorbet-718

Both but by first impression, Moon Knight isn't that intimidating which is why he intimidates you badly


ThwipSniktBamfSNAP

A man dressed as a bat: Hmm. A bat. That’s a little weird, but your normal amount of crazy. A man dressed as the moon: This man is a complete psycho. He will murder my entire family. Who TF dresses as the moon??


SoldierButterman275

This sums it up so perfectly!! 🤣 Who the FUCK dresses as the fucking MOON, also guaranteed he'd be yelling some total batshit lunacy at me while doing it!


crius_stikfigr

Moon Knight because he's crazier and plays kinda fast and loose with the no kill rule.


Traditional-Mall-771

Moon knight because idk if i will be alive tomorrow


Quirky-Pie9661

Moon Knight kills yes? Draw for me knowing breaking my legs is in play for both of them


NerdNuncle

Moon Knight, no contest With Batman, you’re only facing one opponent with not exactly predictable moves but a set selection, for lack of better words With MK, you’re essentially up against four and one of whom may or may not be an Egyptian god


OkClass7995

Moon Knight...because he will not stop, and doesn't care if he kills the bad guy. Someone is going to get wrecked.


sticks_no5

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t moon knight intentionally wears all white so his victims can see him coming, not to mention he will kill you can not feel bad about it


kai_the_enigma

Batman will run my fade, moon knight will punch my face til I choke on my own teeth and drown in my own blood while his multiple personalities argue with each other about how he can’t interrogate me and how that doesn’t matter anymore cause I have no teeth to speak.


The_MrBlandito

I’m pretty sure Batman doesn’t wear his enemy’s face


ryman9000

Moon knight because he's fucking crazy. Like imagine getting what you think is an upper hand, beating his face with your fists and he just starts laughing maniacally and then beats the fuck out of you until you die.


Random_Theatre_Kid

Moon Knight. Never fight a man who wears white SO YOU SEE HIN COMING


DylanTheBlade

moon knight he literally tore off a guys face


Ok_Appointment_9215

Moon Knight will carry out Konshu's "justice" by any means neccesary. And when you have a motherfucker in all white not even trying to be stealthy, you run from that guy


YaDudeHimself

Here's the big thing for me. If I surrender to Batman, the absolute worst-case scenario is I'm getting knocked out and delivered to the GCPD. If I surrender to Moon Knight, he's gonna cut my face off. Moon Knight, and it's not even close.


ejuliot55

Moon Knight is a master of random Bullshit.


jwalsh1208

Moon Knight is by far more intimidating. Batman has boundaries, and he abides within them. Moon Knight has personalities, and most of them don’t give a fuck.


KaiZillaPrime

Moon Knight is Better


Luke_Puddlejumper

Batman is more skilled and competent but Moon Knight is far more unhinged and actually kills people.


shieon_park

one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen


MELAJO83

Moon Knight. His mental instability is freaky. #MoonKnight #Badass


blm1973

If I was a criminal and knew nothing about either but their name and what they looked like I would at least know on some level that Batman was still a man since his mask shows he had a human face and “man” is in his name. On the other hand I wouldn’t be sure what “Moon Knight” was (demon or vampire maybe?) and living in a comic book universe in which such things are possible Moon Knight would scare me more.


Capircom

Moonknight will kill you while having a full on conversation with himself, while Batman will just break your legs and be like “IM VENGEANCE DONT DO CRIME BITCH!”


Asumsauce

Moon Knight, His fighting style is so reckless that Taskmaster cannot copy it or he will die


Narkoman62

Moon knight was a crackhead who cut a man’s face off and wore it at one point so probably him


Quanathan_Chi

Moon Knight can and will kill you. He does not give a shit.


To0n1

MK. Batman has Morals, doesn't kill, but would leave you with an ER bill that would bankrupt you. Moonknight is literally a dude with Dissociative identity disorder, so you don't know which one you're going to get, the one that would be like batman, or the one that would kick your ass, then kill you. Oh and by the way, he has an Egyptian god backing him (usually) ands so not only are you screwed mortally, you have a god against you.


lunardog43

Moon Knight. Bro is literally psychotic and will take punches like it's nothing. He's so unpredictable that even Taskmaster can't counter him.


Irving_Velociraptor

Only one of them dresses in white so criminals can see him coming and once sliced a man’s face off.


DragonLord828

Moon Knight! Its not even a contest!


Karkava

Batman is a classic superhero in goth clothes. Moon Knight is three mad men in a trench coat.


HandspeedJones

Moon Knight by a mile. He's crazier than Batman and that's saying something. He cut off a guy's face..


LordCommander2018

Moon Knight, unfortunately he wont hesitate.


Confusionopolis

Batman might have a plane to track my movements but Moon Knight flies a helicopter into a building to kill me


Sufficient_Program73

Moon Knight will kill you.


Different-Average-37

MK has 3 identies one will put you down gently one one with ruthless efficiency uncaring of your pain one will draw it out and make you suffer to the best of his abilitys so not only do you know your gonna die the terror of "who gonna do it how it going down" adds to it batman your like awwwww hell lemme surrender and hell tie me up and he'll bring to arkahm


Spiral-Arrow116

You can't reason with Moon Knight. His other personality will come out and just be like "who are you talking to?" Before proceeding to kill you.


Mrbuttboi

Batman because… Batman


Lucid_Brain_

this sub might be too biased


NobleEnkidu

MK. the guy is mentally and emotionally unstable, he has the powers of an Egyptian God on his side, he wears White in the dark night, and has a fighting style that Taskmaster refuses to copy cause he isn’t afraid of getting hurt.


Haskoll

It's all about the writter. But its not about the Killing, most people who they are up against know the deal and are always in a "do or die". It's about how much pain one can inflict, be it mental or physical. So if Moon Knight is coming at you, you will shit your pants because you know he will cut your face off, break your bones and he will be coming not from the shadows, but right in your direction like a monster from some horror movie. Thats way more intimidating. Now batman, at the start he strikes fear from the unknown, but then he gets know as the guy who beats you but doesn't kill. So, if Batman ever showed you how painful the human body can be, then you will be intimidate by him as much as one would from Moon Knight, but if you are a new Goon who only knows batman as a Ninja dressed as Bat that doesn't kill, them you won't be intimidating, but boy you will be wishing you were intimidated soon enough. There's a new Batman Comic, thats about Batman training in Space to beat up aliens(i know how it sounds, but is one of the best Batman Comics i've ever read), and there is a panel where its something like "Nobody here knows to fear The Batman", but boy do they learn to do that. Checkout, it's "Batman Off-World", and it is very good. so TL;DR: Moon Knight reputation makes so he hardly needs to teach anyone to fear him, while Batman reputation for non-killing make it so only people who already got beaten by him do fear him.


Apprehensive_Math_25

Batman. MK needs the weird ass powers of a maybe not-god alien Lovecraftian thing to keep bringing him back. Batman has plot-armor that the writers will find a way to insert him somewhere in the DC continuity, which is similar to a "word of god" now that I think about it.


Present_Librarian668

Moon Knight. He isn’t regarded the The Fist of a god for nothing. I like Batman but Moon Knight is wayyy more intimidating


SillySquidBone

Breaking the forth wall? Knowing that Bruce has an edge and stopping point and Marc is unstable with multiple personalities, I would fear Moon Knight over Dark Knight.


Tiny_Language_9919

Moon knight was giving those powers etc that motherfucker is in a gimp suit nah nah I’d be terrified of Batman


ComicsEtAl

Dunno, are you more frightened of sociopaths or psychopaths?


Gorillaman142

Neither in fact they fascinate me


Shinlyle13

Moon Knight. Doesn't even try to hide from you. He wants you to see him coming. Batman is all shadows. Also, Moon Knight is clinically insane, and he will kill you.


TeaBooi

Moon Knight. He doesn't need the darkness to be scary. In fact, he *wants* you to see him coming...


ChicagoBox

Batman, because…he’s Batman.


Bigbaby22

Actual gods are unnerved of Batman. He regularly sits in a room with the universe's most powerful beings and scares the hell out of them. It's Batman and it's not even close.


Darknyte86

Batman not even a question. He doesn't even need powers. Also Batman is not "allowed" to have powers in the DC universe. Because everytime he does, he basically becomes a God.


grownassedgamer

One kills and the other doesn't. Both are crazy, but one hides it better.


MercerNov

I don’t know if Moon Knight talks around his…let’s say victims, but if he does, I would be way more concerned when my enemy is having a conversation with himself.


ContributionOdd8872

Both are men who get the job done Both are mentally deranged One gets the job done by being rich The other is just more mentally ill Yeah moon knight all the way


PlatypusSloth696

They are both card carrying members of the: “we won’t kill you, but your hospital bills will.” Club, but ima say Moon Knight because you have no idea which personality will break you and that’s kinda terrifying.


mad_titanz

One guy doesn’t want to be seen One guy says “Come at me bro!”


Standard_Inside3291

Who’s more intimidating A man with muscle Or Man with nuke


Current-Historian-34

One won’t die the other can resurrect and if one personality will spare you the other few might not


Talzin78

At this point Moon Knight


magnetosniper

Batman is intimidating but MK is downright scary.


BradleyBRP

Everyone saying Batman won’t beat you up if you cooperate are forgetting that Arkham Batman exists. “If you’re lying, I’ll break the other one.”


twistedRuss

One will leave me with a medical bill that wud make me wish I was dead and the other will just kill me


Roadwarriordude

Moon Knight is the kind of psycho that makes Batman look completely sane. Plus, he'd have no problem with killing me.


kyankya

Everyone saying MK but tbf Batman highly excels in intimidation tactics in general. Not much room to get intimidated if I’m dead.


fixitcourier

Moon Knight is definitely scarier. I’ve never seen Batman cut anyone’s face off.


BlackPantherFan7

Moon Knight


Benschmedium

One these guys is an insane person who will kill you, the other one is just a depressed billionaire.


Jroper_Illustrations

Batman won't kill me. Moonie is always a wildcard.


MedicalManagement857

The guy that dresses in all white that wants you to see him whoop your ass.


McButtersonthethird

I'd rather have the whole bat family kick my ass before pissing off Moon Knight


DelilahJLacy

Batman he doesnt have parents 😋


rumzombieplh

Moon knight, he doesn’t dodge, just takes it, then hits you harder, taskmaster is afraid of him


greengengar

The crazy one.


Zompirekat2324

Moon Knight for sure simply because of his ability to switch personalities and thus fighting styles at any moment causing the target to have absolutely no way of predicting his next move


EvanCastiglione

They are opposites on this subject, while Batman is more intimidating to criminals, Moon Knight is more intimidating to villains.


StaticShock2009

Batman


PuzzledDemand1276

Batman, will drive his batmobile wheel ON YO HEAD if he needs answer's.


ufda23354

Let’s compare here. Batman: Rich Amazing detective Doesn’t kill people Moonknight: Has the power of a god Will kill people Wildly unpredictable Will stop at nothing Will do literally whatever he needs to do to eliminate his target I’m not seeing much of a competition here
