Who wins?

If a masked spic on drugs could find out
I'm sure a Nip student could do it

To kill The Batman, Light would need to know his full name and see his full face. Normally, Batman would not have a problem here - but we are talking about Light Yagami, who is playing 4th dimensional chess in a world where everyone else is playing that giant checkers game at the Cracker Barrel. Batman might be able to deduce Light's identity faster than L, but Light would be able to deduce Batman's identity just as fast.

And he would kill Bruce Wayne during a public press event just to rub it in.

>>95159693
Batman stomps. Not even close. Very few versions lose.

>>95159981

The only way he wins is if he learns about Kira before Kira learns about The Batman.

>>95159693
Light basically cheats, and so does L so the story stays competetive even if it is boring. Knowing Deathnote, he's probably find out who Batman was through dental records and visual memory from a time they met once that only happened because the writers wanted Light to win. That's how his whole show goes.

>man with no actual detective skills who is very obviously Bruce Wayne vs genius that can kill with just a name and really had to think his way around several other very smart people
Batgod wins obviously.

>>95159693
One of Light's mooks would act on his own and fuck up the keikaku so Batman would win.

>>95159944
Well... now you are dealing with Superman, cunt.

You need to write their real name, right?

Does he consider himself "Bruce Wayne" or "Batman"?
>How'd you know he was fake?
>He kept calling me Bruce.
>Yeah? So?
>Thats not what I call myself.
>What do you call yourself then?

>>95159944
>Light would be able to deduce Batman's identity just as fast
Not really. It's not actually that easy to know Batman's secret identity unless you're awfully close to him, and 'getting close' to batman is an insta-lose to Kira.

>>95160077
Like Thrawn?

>>95160088
Only birth name works iirc

>>95159693
Bats. Light isn't much of detective. He would leave a literal trail to his house.

>>95160120

Then what are the odds Light ever figures out Bruce Wayne is Batman?

>>95160016
Bruce would deduce Light's identity in a day, maybe less.

>>95159981
>>95159944
Has batman ever even been shown making impressive logical deductions in his entire character history?

>>95160018

They wouldn't even need to go that far.

The Batman operates out of Gotham City, which narrows the suspect pool down to residents of Gotham. He has a multitude of weapons at his disposal, which makes him someone with some form of military contacts. Being able to afford his weapons and body armor would make him a wealthy individual, too. On those three pieces of information alone, the suspect pool for The Batman would drop to a single-digit amount. All Light would have to do is figure out which amongst those suspects is The Batman - or just kill them all with the Death Note and be done with it.

>>95160088

L calls himself "L", but Rem still had to write his birth name in her Death Note to kill him. "Bruce Wayne" would be the correct answer.

Is Rem still alive to trick into killing his foe for him? He can't just use Ryuk as Ryuk refuses to do anything other then small favours like camera checks or writing fake rules.

>>95160140
No, not really. We haven't seen him doing much detective work either.

The button did a bit of this, but in the end it was a huge cosmic thing.

>>95159981
batman then throws light into arkham, light eventually escapes. Rinse and repeat until light finally out who batman is and kills him. before this happens though light will have already killed everyone batman has ever cared for

Here's the real question: Would Light Turner be able to determine that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

>>95160140
He does make some good deductions in some Joker/Riddler stories, but he is more of a planner/investigator. Nothing gets past him when he is investigating, and when he is planning everything goes according to keikaku.

If Light ever tried something against the Bat-family, batman would most likely be able to find a lead and investigate him.

>>95160139
Lol how?

>>95159693
Light doesn't know his secret identity.
Batman when he'd be pretty sure Light could be Kira, he wouldn't play mindgames with him - he would just rifle through his personal belongings to find the Death Note.

It's lack of a hands-on approach to detective work that killed L in the end, flaw Batman doesn't have.

>>95160199

LOLno.

>>95160228
But Batman isn't really very smart.

bane deduced Bruce wayne that way

but riddler thinks that batman uses money stolen from criminals to find himself, so it seems as if people vary very wildly about who they think batman is

>>95160228
>Light doesn't know his secret identity.
It took Bane less than a year to figure it out. Light would have little issue.

>>95159693
What would happen if you wrote an immortal's name on the Death Note?
Would it just say something like
>Nah nigga I ain't touching that

>>95160228

>It's lack of a hands-on approach to detective work that killed L in the end

L KILLED A MAN TO MAKE KIRA REVEAL HIMSELF.

>>95160221
Light is nowhere near as secretive as he thinks he is and he leaves a trail of breadcrumbs in everything he did. Near deduced Lights identity fairly easily with regular police resources. Bruce is the world's greatest detective and has millions of dollars of equipment, not to mention excellent observation skills

Light would kill the joker though and batmans whole villain roster and he'd just lose the will to live

>>95159693
Light could just kill everyone in Gotham until he eventually reaches Bruce Wayne
There'd be no method of tracing it back to him

>>95160270

Shimigami are immune to it so I'm assuming they can't touch anyone with a magic resistance.

>>95160282

Don't forget that bats is aware of the supernatural and can all in people who can deal with it. If L was aware of the death note/shimigami early on like Near was, he'd win easily.

>>95159693

Batman back traces the original killings to right prefecture. He doesn't have the clout to do the "use interpol in questionable ways" to further it down further. At this point his investigation goes cold so he calls in a favor, probably Zatanna, from a league member to use magic.

At no point does he start a stupid cat and mouse game with someone who can use magic and thus doesn't give Kira the fear he is being hunted down. Kira eventually goes to jail but he retains semi cult status, but first there is a neat bit with him attempting to kill the Joker and Batman having to abandon stalking Light to deal with Lord Deathman.

>>95160228
if batman can work out kira is light then light can work out that batman is bruce wayne

Would Spectre be able to stop him or would his jobbing power kick in?

>>95160143
L was L's real name.

>>95160342

It was not his full name, though. Rem needed to write his full name in the Note to kill L.

>>95160316

Well, shinigami made the thing.

The show just never has a chance to explore what would happen to other supernatural creatures/immortals/magic stuff. Because they don't exist.

>>95160271
>L KILLED A MAN
*Criminal

>>95160297
not even the joker knows his real name, the rest of the rogues gallery is fucked tho

>>95160383

Misa or Mikami could get his real name,

>>95160199
Yes but only by accident.

>>95160340
He would say people deserved it and leave him alone.

>>95160382

Distinction without a difference. L still set that nigga up to die.

>>95160393
Fucking how?

>>95160050
>>95160140
Isn't Batman canonically The World's Greatest Detective? He also has a billion dollar company backing him up.

I'm no Batfan, but Batman takes it. Kira only wins in his show because the writers go out of their way to make him win.

>>95160426

The eyes.

>>95160434

Like third, behind detective chimp and elongated man. That and Tim is meant to be on the path to exceeded him as a detective since all the bat kids are meant to surpass Bruce in one area.

>>95160140
Depends on the writer and most of them don't bother with the effort of creating logical deduction for Batman to discover. TAS did a pretty decent job with it though.

>>95160411
He was going to be executed. L offered him a more noble way to die and he accepted.

>>95160434
>Isn't Batman canonically The World's Greatest Detective?

"I-impossible! How are you still alive?"

"You wrote 'Bruce Wayne'."

"...So what?!"

"That is not my name."

>>95160526
Birth name is the only one the Death Note cares about.

What would happen if you used the Death Note against somebody like Resurrection Man? Would he die for good, or would there just be another resurrection?

And what about an immortal being? Could the Death Note kill Swamp Thing, who can survive so long as there are plants in this universe?

Could the Death Note kill the intangible concept of the Anti-Life Equation? What would happen if you wrote the Anti-Life Equation in the Death Note while submitting your will to Darkseid?

There, now it's accurate.

>>95160199
Was the movie any good? All the negative reviews seem to be based on whitewashing.

>>95160525
That can be blamed on shitty writers and Batman has had the title of "World's Greatest Detective" since his creation. Man debuted in DETECTIVE COMICS for fucks sake, it's not batwank

>>95160544
And the friggin' Lasso of Truth says that day in the alley, Batman was born.

>>95159693

>>95160588
wew no, it was trash, black L was cool tho

>>95160562
>justice forever with the Joker being raped to death with a crowbar as it's dawn

FTFY

>>95160588

It kept me awake and Dafoe was fun as expected but it gets really really fucking stupid.

Watari ended up being Watari's real name as an example

>>95160588

As a Death Note film? Nope.

As a normal film? NOPE.

>>95160605
Different rules.

>>95160588
>Upset over whitewashing

>ignore the fact that L was played by a black actor

>>95160658

He at least tried to copy L's autism before Watari died.

>>95160588

It was retarded by every conceivable measure.

>>95160675
I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy

How was Black L in the film, anyway? Wa it funny at least?

>>95160598
Show don't tell.

>>95160705

He tried to copy his autism but they fucked up the Lind. L Tailor scene horribly leading to a plothole. That and he goes dindu in the second half.

>>95159693
Depends if Light has any deathnote wielding allies.

Hell, he only managed to get the upperhand on L because he had Misa's deathnote and shinigami to work with

>>95160617
I'm ok with this

>4chan triangulated the location of several flags with nothing but a sky shot, discovered the identity of a masked bike lock attacker seeing only blurry images of the upper half of his face and got rebel training camps bombed to craters by locating them through radio towers on google maps

The internet makes both their identities public knowledge in like 2 weeks tops

How would this actually work out? Why would batman be on a hunt for kira just as L? I mean, both actively hunt for criminals and follow sort of the same philosophy.

>>95160767
>and follow sort of the same philosophy.
Nigga what?

>>95160767

You think the most psycotic anti-death hero on the planet wouldn't hunt Light?

>>95160767
Well Batman wouldn't be working with officials.

That would be one disadvantage for Light. With L, Light just had to use his police connections to get inside the investigation into himself.

With Batman, he has no way to get close to Batman since he's a vigilante.

>>95160767
Light is a meaglomaniac who tries to hide it behind his vigilantism, nothing at all like Batman

>>95160705
He has a chase scene with Light and pulls a gun on him

He's just a generic action movie cop who sits weird and eats skittles

Bats leaves clues about his identity for Light. He kills him.Bats friends resurrect him with the Lazarus Pit, Bruce wins. Light is in Arkham and the Death note locked on the Phantom zone forever.

>>95160761

>and got rebel training camps bombed to craters by locating them through radio towers on google maps

Woah wait what, I heard about the first two but not this one.

>>95160802
Light would have no reason to get close to Batman though. L had zero information about himself available so he had to get inside whereas both of Batman's identities are insanely public.

Would the Deathnote count Batman's name as Batman, or Bruce Wayne. seeing as he considers his 'real name' and 'real identity' to be Batman?

>>95160870
But the two personas are completely separate as far as the public is concerned. Nobody knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne.

>>95160871
This has been answered several times.

>>95160870

It also works in reverse though. L needed to present himself to Light as bait to catch him slipping and to see how he does it, while batman literally has access to spy equipment and ninja bullshit, on top of coming from a universe where magic already exists.

>>95160903
What the public thinks does matter. The public is very very stupid due to plot armor.

>>95160140
Silver Age Batman had some really good cases of this. But the writers are hacks now who aren't smart enough to come up with detective stuff.

>>95160932
...I never said anything otherwise?

>>95160903

frankly that's just plot armor, it is ridiculously easy to figure out

>>95160088
>>95160143
Better loophole would be "Light got so triggered by Batman that he is unable to picture Bruce Wayne's face in his mind and can only see Batman."

>>95159944
>where everyone else is playing that giant checkers game at the Cracker Barrel
kek

>>95160979

Yeah, people say that but it's pretty bullshit.

>Light writes "Bruce Wayne" in the DeathNote
>it doesn't work because his real name is "Batman"

>>95160562
That's not how it works, otherwise he could've just written down "L" and ended the series at episode 2.

>>95160675
L is a crazy emotional faggot that concerns himself over detective cases which interest him. He got into a fistfight with Light over an argument, and lost his shit at a secondhand implication that Shinigami were real. L's always been an autistic freak, the movie just pushed that to the forefront for tension. The movie was fun in its stupidity and greatly directed otherwise.

>>95160588
L was OK and Willem Defoe was fanrastic.

That's about it.

>>95161113

I mean, he got killed by L so probably not

>>95161260
Shh, that's not confirmed until the sequel that's never going to happen. Y'know, like the Misfits in "Jem and the Holograms 2".

>>95161025

it is not

>we know Batman's a Gotham billionaire - or, at least, is funded by one
>Batman first showed up shortly after Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham
>Bruce Wayne keeps getting hurt doing, uh, sports
>Bruce Wayne has a tragic past

but the Robins are the real killer. Bruce Wayne adopts four kids who just happen to match every single Robin in height and hairstyle.

>>95160588
It was fun, but not smart. It's a good popcorn flick, but it pales in comparison to the anime.

>They realize that by erasing the names, it brings the person back to life, albeit horribly mutilated.
>Bats takes the Death Note and lets him off with a warning not to meddle in God's Domain.

>>95160181
Rem died after she killed L.

>>95161365
Well, I enjoyed You're Next and The Guest, so I guess I'll check it out

>>95160588

The movie was clearly meant to be a comedy (the credits pretty much give it away that the whole thing was a joke) - so it was actually an entertaining movie.

I mean aside from the credits: Light literally loses his marbles in the beginning of the movie, they play "I just died in your arms tonight" when we think a character is going to die, they pull "turns out he was actually smart all along" at the end of the movie when they showed before that Light was pretty much a dumb teenager, Light says "There are so many fucking rules." and they had tons of "fitting" music.

So basically American Death Note was hilarious. I am sad they didn't have "Then I take potato-chip.....and eat it!"

>>95161451

Oh also Ryuk was cool to look at and great whenever he showed up.

>>95159693
Death note is the rick and morty of anime.

>>95161451
>the credits pretty much give it away that the whole thing was a joke

>>95160181

Rem is a woman.

>>95160248

FUCKING THANK YOU!
I swear they did that on purpose.

>>95161539
The credits is filled with the actors goofing around on set. Not the sort of ending you give a serious horror flick.

>>95161539

Light has a an incredulous look on his face in the last scene and immediately the credits pop up filled with bloopers, the actors laughing and some behind-the-scenes stuff. The type of stuff you wouldn't see for a film meant to be taken seriously; at least not immediately after the last scene.

>>95161406

I'm aware but that was at the end of the L saga. OP didn't say when the fight took place.

>>95160133
Fuck off boco

>>95161610
I apologize for misinterpreting your question then, friend.

Light would have to corner her again, and I don't know if he could make it so Bats would go after Misa like what happened in the manga.

>>95160111

More subtle.

Light was taken down because his subordinate second Kira got anxious and decided to write names he hadn't been told to write. Since he was keeping the notebook in a safe deposit box, he went to the bank on a day he normally wouldn't have in order to do it, which tipped off the agents who were watching him that just about everything they'd seen until now was a decoy to get them focused on a fake notebook.

Although one does wonder how Thrawn vs. Batman would go. Not a fair fight considering Thrawn has a fleet.

>>95160588
Oh common. The story was so completely different that they made a meta-humor joke about it. It's just a foreign adaptation of the same concept.

It had at least two sharp turns I didn't see coming despite it being silly fuckery.

>>95161586
Maybe he realized some films aren't pretentious or arrogant enough to be considered "art."

>>95160282

Near figured it out due to L laying the groundwork with all sorts of not-regular resources. L knew and just couldn't prove it. Near just had to ask the right questions to learn what L already knew.

The real trick with Near was assembling the trap using regular police resources.

>>95161353
You are back building everything off the fact that you know he is Bruce.

Ignoring the fact that there are several Gotham billionaires, why does the Batman need to be the person funding? Hell he literally broke up several huge mob families the first year he appeared, there is no reason to assume he didn't empty several of their back accounts to afford the toys that would show up after.

It's kinda strange to assume the kid who disappeared after his parents murder didn't just go move with some family in Europe til he came back to burn through his trust fund, but rather he came back to haunt his hometown in a costume. I will give you that the timeline of him reappearing and Batman appearing would be notable, but I also would point out that Batman spent a lot of his start as a myth and that most of the crazier bat villains appeared really shortly after.

What's more like, the playboy got drunk and crashed a sports car or he is secretly a vigilante.

Everyone has a tragic past in gotham.

The robin's are the most damning part, but he only adopted Tim and most people would probably just assume Dick and Tim were illegitimate kids.

>>95160588

Everyone's ragingly emotional all the time, no mind games, no cat and mouse, and the police treat L like a crazy idiot. Light's draconian sense of justice isn't really there, he kicks off like a school shooter wannabe out for revenge.

Also the girl is just such an awful person for no reason. And Final Destination-ing every death just pads out the movie with pointless spectacle to distract from the fact that the writers couldn't figure out how to make a good detective drama.

>>95160411

Lind L. Tailor was already schedule to be executed. L offered him a chance at life.

>>95160526

Things that cannot die cannot be killed with the deathnote.
Ryuk tells light that the shinigami tried to kill each other for fun, but they got bored since they cannot die.

>>95161714

I think you mixed up your replies there a little.

>>95160526

Just how many of you guys replying have not read the manga or watched the anime? That's not how the Death Note works.

>>95161934
The problem with what you're getting at is that you have to make a lot of assumptions to ignore the number of things that point directly to Bruce Wayne.

>>95162178
World's Finest #149

>>95162234

But you are ignoring that they are just ass pulled assumptions. They are technically not crazier than 9/11 conspiracy theories because they are more sound, but they are actually crazier because "Government doing shady thing" is more logical than "Playboy is costume kook". In a world of demons and magic, ninja's and subterranean people, mad scientists and their walking robots, why would anyone try to build a case that it's Bruce Wayne?

Batman has many potential backers or candidates Light could go after, and every time he kills someone, he narrows down Batman's suspect list.

Time zones would make it obvious that Kira is Japanese, and the police data Kira draws from implies he's in a major city, so his general location is almost as obvious as Batman's.

Assuming an American Light, timezones and early, localised Kira killings would still narrow things down to a similar degree.

Biggest question: would Light go after Batman first, seeing him as a rival, or focus on criminals first, seeing him as a fellow traveler?

>>95160140
He'd call in Tim to do it for him

>>95162356
>But you are ignoring that they are just ass pulled assumptions.
No, they aren't. Everything that anon said is public knowledge and has to do with timing and known information. Maybe those things alone aren't enough to say Bruce Wayne with absolute certainty considering other possibilities but it is enough to put him very high on the list and that's with none of us are as smart as Light.

>>95160087
Light should be so lucky to only have Superman out for his balls. You kill the Bat and you'll have the entire JSA, JLA, Outsiders, Teen Titans, Birds of Prey and his entire extended family of vigilantes out for his ass.

And Alfred.

>>95159693
Bruce would probably get killed, but one of his sons would get Light. One of the sons probably gets stomped like Mellow. Would be a good What-if for Tim.

>tfw my dad was a deadbeat so my mom changed my last name from his name to her name
>tfw if someone tried to write my name in the note they would likely fail the maximum 3 times and I would be safe from any further note fuckery

>>95162504

Yeah, you are right, but my point still stands that as far as the in universe logic goes Bruce is still really down a list of possible explanations, and you would really need an encyclopedia of knowledge of Bruce's life to make the connections.

It's already established that L can detective circles around Batman, and since L was just a tiny bit better than Light, we can assume that Light would win. Also batman isn't all that amazing at crime solving without expensive equipment, and since the Death Note provides 100% anonymous killing, his tech becomes much less useful.

Furthermore Batman has two hurdles to get over, while Light only has one. Bats being "How do these killings occur?" And "Who is doing it?" While Light has just "Who is Batman?"

Real question is, could Bats figure out L's identy before L figures out his?

>Be born with really long and annoying name
>Also change legal name regularly
>You are now immune

>>95163159
Yeah but I highly doubt he could figure out Bat's secret identity.

>>95163220

Nah, the Death Note only cares about your original name. Death Gods automatically know your original name, so name swapping is meaningless to them. Of course that just raises further questions about what counts as a your original name. Like where do cultures that give children fake names till they are older stand in the terms of the death book? What if there was a mix up at the hospital and the name was meant for another baby? etc.

>>95163277
Yeah but light never had the ability to see a persons name by looking at them.

>>95160526
To further explain >>95160544 The death note only accepts birth names, it doesn't care 'who' you believe yourself to be. Even if you completely throw away your birth name the Death Note will consider the new name as an alias and not work. That's how da rules go.

Would Light even know Batman's after him? It's not like Batman would advertise that.

>>95159693
Light wins this.
easy

>>95160426
The Shinigami can make a trade with the holder of the death note, where the holder gives up half their remaining life but gains eyes that can see someone's birth name and time remaining.
Misa for example took that deal. So she can see anyone's real name by looking at them.

>>95160282
>Light is nowhere near as secretive as he thinks he is and he leaves a trail of breadcrumbs in everything he did.
yeah, but thats because Light fucked up really early on.
Near was able to come behind and use the groundwork L layed, and it still took him awhile.

Bruce would need to PROOVE Light is kira, and thats the hard part.
someone else might be able to figure out Light is Kira but you have to be able to prove it.

If L hadn't needed to prove it, he'd still be alive

>>95160342
>L was L's real name.
his name was L Lawliet

>>95160199
lmao, not a chance in hell

>Criminals start dying off at regular intervals because of heart attacks
>Drugs? Biological weapon? Poison?
>Batman investigates jails and police houses
>When nothing turns up, Batman investigates families of employees, starting with the most likely
>Does not send spies, just goes through multiple databases and psychological profiles in his bat cave computer
>Narrows down most likely suspects
>Takes a visit to the penguin, telling him of everything he knows
>Penguin sends lackeys to investigate those individuals
Light would likely go with that one plan that he did with Raye Penber again
>Penguin lackeys and Oswald Cobblepot dies
>Bat family raids Light Yagami's house due to CCTV footage examined
>Light Yagami sent to Arkham Asylum

All Light would need is a suspicion that Batman is Bruce Wayne, since he has no real moral problem with just killing anyone he even suspects is against him. If he killed Wayne and it turned out he wasn't Batman, it'd be no skin off his ass.

Unless Bruce knew this and thus came out in public support for Kira, knowing that Kira killing one of his richest, smartest and most influential supporters would look pretty bad and hurt his own cause.


Also unlike L, Batman does not require any actual evidence to take down Light, he just needs a suspicion and then he could put Light under all kinds of unlawful surveillance, search his shit and take his Death Note away in the middle of the night.

I don't know anything about that character, but that's a really fucking cool power. Batman uses chance a lot so hes out. any fighting base character is out too...

Perhaps Dr. Fate or Manhattan?

>>95160383
One could argue that considering not even the Joker knows his birth name, he's not really even that person anymore, that "The Joker" is effectively a new person, separate from the man he used to be, born with that name.

Light. He just needs to write diana in and get bruce's name from her then gg.

Could the DeathNote kill Superman?

>>95163031
ha

>>95163859
Superman has zero resistance to magic and supernatural bullshit. It's basically his only other weakness other than the obligatory one.

>>95163846
But when he does that Bruce will discover Light's location and set his failsafes into motion.

>>95162358
Light is perfectly willing to kill anyone who poses any sort of threat (see: The FBI agents, L), so he'd try to get rid of Batman asap.
Speaking of which, Joker would be a nightmare for him to deal with, unless he was able to set up some sort of murder suicide via a proxy target.

>>95163797
Babies can't be killed by the DeathNote and a name & life span don't appear over your head until you're 6 years old. That name you get then is the one needed to kill you for the rest of your life. If you forget it, someone with the eyes can still see it.

>>95163859
Superman isn't human, so no. Could it kill Billy Batson though, if he was in Captain Marvel form?

>>95162554
Probably his rouges gallery too. They have an obsession with his bat dick and would be pretty upset if some twink from japanlan did him in instead of them.

>>95163914
If The Dark Knight Strikes Again is anything to go by (which it probably isn't) it's possibly for Billy to die and Shazam to be left and will cease to exist if he attempts to switch back.

>>95163159
>Real question is, could Bats figure out L's identy before L figures out his?
That's actually kind of tough. Batman is a more prolific target who's easier to track down to a specific area, but Batman is far better at information gathering.

This here would be the point we're Light would really come to understand how well and truly fucked he is. No one walks away from the butlering. No one. Someone post the superman screen cap.

Are people implying that Batman's plot armor wouldn't protect him from the Death Note?
This is exactly how it would work out.

>Light finds out who Bruce Wayne and writes his name in the book.

>Light tries to escape by jumping out a nearby window

>Bruce confiscates the Death Note and brings it to one of his mystical friends to destroy it.

You all know this is the exact kind of corny as shit that would happen.

The more important question could Light fare against 2017 4chan and the rest of the internet?

>>95160139
Nah. As talented as Batman is, he has no way of deducing L's specific location like L did, mostly because he's unwilling to go to the lengths L did (as in setting up a decoy to bait Light into basically giving away his location via murder.)
Batman, at best, would have the means to trace Kira back to Japan. Meanwhile, Batman is a prolific figure in Gotham, narrowing that down would not be difficult.

4chan struggles to catch anyone who isn't pants on head retarded about giving up clues to their location.
The internet in general would house dozens of theories on the identity, but none of them would be conclusive. There's a reason you don't go to mobs to solve murder cases.

>>95162554
Unless he wrote that he died in a fight to the death with the justice league.

Without plot armor, the name and face of Bruce Wayne is known worldwide and the ability to deduce Batman's identity is possible in-universe. Batman dies of a heart attack, or better yet, an accidental weapons malfunction of some sort in the middle of normal crime fighting, without ever having the name Kira cross his mind.

Since Bruce has made it clear that he's Batman first and Bruce Wayne is a mask of sorts would that mean Light would only have to write Batman in the Death Note to kill him?

>>95159693
How would the Death Note work against Superman? Would Clark Kent work? it isn't his given name as that is Kal el, but he didn't know that till he was older so would the name Kira would need to write be Clark Kent or Kal El?

What about the Joker who is possibly so insane he does not even remember his own name. Does the Death Note know the name of someone who doesn't even know it themselves?

>>95165091
>>95165098
We've been over this. Designations hold no power, birth name does.
Bruce Wayne and Kal-El is what they'd appear to the shinigami eyes, and what needs to be written to kill them.

All those things were true about L too, and Light killed him.

>>95159944
I think it would take the Justice League Dark to take Kira down, not Batman.

>>95159944
nah cause Light would think his name is Bruce Wayne when in fact we all know that deep down Bruce is the mask, so Light would be baffled when the death note didn't kill him and then make the shinigami eye deal and instead of a name above batman's head there would just be a gaint yellow bat symbol, then batman would punch him in the fucking face and lock the death note away

>>95160613

Yes. And then Rem does it again, so her lifespan is probably superhumanly long.
If she doesn't commit suicide in her ambiguous ending, at least.

If Light finds out Bruces name and kills him, then Joker will just dump in a Lazarus Pit.

I wonder if people coming back from the dead would ire Shimigami's.

They'd love it. People to kill forever. Shinigami tend to fear death, and their lives are extended by killing humans. And sometimes Shinigami do fall in love with humans, so a way to resurrect particular humans would be something those ones seek out.

It amuses me to no end to see how many western people take Death Note seriously. The series is practically parody almost with Light's mannerisms and internal dialogue and L's autism and Near's flamboyance. But western anime fans look at anything resembling edge and it's an automatic "DEEP, 2 gud 4 yu, DA BEST"

>>95165548

why wouldn't people take it serious? it's a serious manga
people like the cat and mouse game and keikaku aspects. fucking grow up

Just started Death Note this week (first anime). I'm 4 episodes in. Does Light get smarter? They are billing him as a master detective but he seems to be making a lot of calls that make it obvious who he is (leveraging his fathers police work, involving himself in the death of a criminal, looking to kill the guy who was sent to moniter him)

Is there a worse segment of /co/ than casual Bat readers? The ones who read just barely enough of his wiki page to join a conversation, but not enough to really know what they're talking about? Because this thread is filled with those people.

>>95165548
its kids first look into dark anime; im not suprised

>>95165575
Can't blame them. Batman in comics is shit. Way better in movies and games.

>>95165567
This.

>>95165570
A lot of Light's decisions do come back to bite him, big time. His hubris is his ultimate downfall.

>>95165543
>Yeah but I'd wager neither of them had more than a century stored up because there's not much point, unless it's to gamble with later.
yeah but even with that, that would give Misa 100 years.
(her lifespan was done when jealous saved her , so thats 100, traded with Rem for the eyes, takes it down to 50; she traded for the eyes a second time, thats 25; and then Rem saved her, so that'd be another 100)
just using random guesstimates

but i would think the average shinigami would kill alot, get alot of years store up, and then forget about it. Whereas Rem was definitely actively cognizant of her lifespan
idk about jealous, but he seemed obsessed with Misa enough to want to be around as long as she lived

>>95165595
Yeah I am just wondering if I should be lowering my expectations regarding Light. I'm liking L, his actions live up to the hype. Picking that Light is a Japanese student was interesting and believable. Light really needs to pick his shit up.

>>95165605
L is clever light is an edgy retard who is only far ahead because of the death note.

>>95165567
There was more to it than that.

>>95165570
Light's hubris is what gets him killed.
all those early missteps are important later.
>>95165605
idk where the story you are 4 episodes in, but Light's god level keikaku doesn't kick in until L confronts him.

after you finish the anime, do watch the 2006 japanese movies; they're a very satisfying take, and are mostly true to the manga aside from the characters who finally defeat Light

>>95159693
It'd probably end in some confrontation where Light pulls off some scheme to unmask him, succeeds and writes his name down just as he's caught.
Lights laughs because 40 seconds, Batman should die of a heart attack, but nothing happens.
Something something, some dumb cheeky revelation that his TRUE name really is Batman now, and that he could, by those rules, have written "Batman" this whole time to get rid of him.

>>95164840
>including some people that the Death note wouldn't be able to hurt.
Considering this is in the DCU there are only three characters Death can't claim, and none of them actually care about what goes on in the multiverse.

>>95160588

L was actually pretty good. The actor did a good job. Light was nothing like the original. He was phenomenally stupid, mostly because they didn't want to make him an irredeemable villain even though the first thing he did was brutally kill a bully. I mean yeah he was a bully but death is a bit much. The girl was just plain awful. Every scene with her drug the movie down. Willaim Dafoe was perfect though. All in all the movie is a C. Great at points fucking horrible at others but with a decent enough ending to tie it all together.

>>95162206
Shinigami can die, just not from death notes. I think only alternate ending God-Light is truly immortal in the death note universe; it's implied even the shinigami king will die sooner or later. Kind of like how in Bleach, even souls eventually destabilize into dust, and only Aizen is truly immortal.

>>95162064
>"My name is Gwen Poole."
>he writes Gwen Stacy in the note

>>95165226
No, I think it does. Death gods see names, I think that's because their name is who most people are. While Bruce is actually batman.

A lot of people are ignoring that Bruce Wayne has been seen in the same room with Batman on several occasions and has had solid alibis at times Batman was in action. usually it's Dick in the cowl with maybe some special shoes to adjust the height but it's really going to throw off the investigation for a bit

This isn't really any Two-Bit Murderer, though. This is a Death God giving a chimp a machine gun and telling them "go nuts".

Even if she didn't step in, there's a dozen other DC Gods and higher beings that would step in and slap Light's shit. Spectre would shut it down the instant Light killed anyone that wasn't a hardened criminal.

>>95160649
Well, you're taking the Death Note into a universe with different kinds of plot armor, too. To be frank, the Death Note is low level shit in the DC universe.

>>95165570
He only cares about his anonymity insofar as it'll stop him from using the Death Note. So he flaunts a bit too hard.

Also...

To be fair, an equally logical deduction would be Bruce Wayne funds/equips Batman and may even make more sense really.

>>95163612
Hopeman's luck is in a constant cycle between really good and really bad. His absolute madman plan from DR2 failed at the last second, after all. Also, canonically, he can be beaten by other extraordinarly lucky people. (His gun jamming when trying to shoot Izuru, for example.)

I was actually thinking about this yesterday, both Light and L would figure out Batman's identity in a second.
Here are the facts:
>Batman operates mostly out of Gotham
>Batman needs funds for all his documented high tech gadgets
>Batman operates out of a sense of justice, probably caused by past trauma
>Batman is highly trained in various martial arts, sciences and crafts, probably having had to travel to world to learn them
>Whenever Bruce is shown travelling the globe in his training, he rarely use a fake name and there would probably be records of all the criminology/Chemestry/etc. classes he took in universities around the world.
>Light might even kill him "by accident" if all the "shaddy member of the Wayne family uses the company for evil before Bruce comes back home" stories are canon, he is not beyond killing people that simply "make the world a harder place to live".
Conclusion: Bruce Wayne is Batman, if L has access to all of Cadmus/SHADE/Chechmate/whatever classified info, Amanda Waller already knows he is Batman, so he could even get it from her and skip all the deducting.

By the way
>Shounen Jump All-Stars vs DC when???

>>95163541
Didn't Light tear out some of the pages and carry those around?

>>95164200
Could Light avoid this whole mess by writing "dies to one of the Joker's traps" or does that violate the same rule?

>>95160588

>>95166489
>probably caused by past trauma
>probably
That's an assumption,
and it reminds me of one of the reasons I didn't like the Netflix movie (among many other reasons, of course). L operated almost exclusively on assumptions.

>Kira killed this set of people, therefore he MUST have had access to this specific database.
>Kira didn't kill me at my press conference, therefore he MUST need a name and a face.
>Kira didn't kill Officer Turner, therefore Kira MUST be Light Turner.
>Light Turner said that death could come from a calculus book, therefore he MUST have been speaking of a literal calculus book.

And I'm pretty sure there was one more.

I read the manga up until L's death. Is it worth continuing all the way to Raito's death? I heard the second season of the anime is trash. Is it the same with the mango?

Depends on how much you care for the replacement puppies.
I had no issues with the latter third of Death Note whatsoever. Yes, it's a bit less on the intelligence side, no Near and Mello are not as cool as L, yes Light gets sloppy (he has every reason to get sloppy because he believed his greatest [sole] opponent was toppled), but even so I enjoyed the ride and found it all quite satisfying to the last.

Thats a perfect example of how Batman would fight Light and it took this long to get. Jesus people once again /co/ shows it doesn't read comics or has no idea how the characters it talks about work

>>95160140
are you serious?

The Riddler? Batman making insane logical deductions is a massive trope.
Also, Batman being a student of Sherlock Holmes is also a thing. (often in a literal sense, Holmes was a real person in DC comics.)

Bane has actually seen Batman up close multiple times in that span of time. Remember, most criminals dont actually know about bat gadgets. Their experience with Batman is a few terrifying moments after a caped monster man dropped on them and took them apart.

Common Gotham criminals think the bat has fucking psychic powers to read your thoughts and cloud your mind. Only the ones good enough to fight him and mot immediately lose know his gear and gadets enough to start drawing conclusions.

>>95163899
which is actually a wonderful way for the story to go. Light is trying to kill the Joker. Trying to assassinate him, and find out his real name.

Batman being the Batman of course, sees a pattern in the deaths around The Joker, and tries to find the source.

>>95164184
Nope.

>>95160393
Need I remind you that there is more than one Joker out there?

>>95167255
I think we all assume solo batman. I mean, if we involved Zatanna, WW, Cap Marvel, Lex, Superman, etc, it all becomes easy mode.
These characters would all magic, or super surveillance their way to the answer in minutes.

How does Light get this info

>>95159693
Light would figure out Batman is Bruce Wayne in a day.

>>95160198
Anon, to begin with why would he even assume Batman is human? Also, he never really legalized the adoption for most Robins. The only one that was adopted and then does is Damian, and he was dead for, like, a day or so. No one would really notice.

>>95160588
DESU they should've just went all the way with L and gave him some former tribesman backstory as an explanation for his weird behavior. Hell just giving him an accent would've made him a lot less cringy

>>95160588
I should have turned it off after light decided to just tell random girl he just met that he was kira

>>95160050
Dont lie, anon. light's "deduction skills" sucks. He basically puts himself in harm's ways for no reason. If he did not pursue those people, no one would ever find out who he is. They would never get past the "it's someone in Japan" assumption.

>>95167634
He'd be able to have perfect comedic timing on every lethal joke he could possibly want to do. The universe would ensure his jokes would always get their punchline, and it wouldn't even remove the risk of him getting caught.

It depends on how far into their respective careers they are. It never actually made sense that people in the DC universe don't know who Batman is—How many Gothamites have those kind of resources? A dozen, maybe? Light could easily figure it out if Batman has been running around for any significant amount of time.

Batman would be able to figure out that Light is Kira pretty easily if he was already working for the anti-Kira team, but before then, there's just no plausible way to narrow it down. If Light hadn't killed the fake L AND stolen information from his dad's computer, L never would have been able to track him down.

It would really only be a good fight if Light had decided that Batman was a "good guy" and he couldn't kill him—he only wants to stop Batman from capturing him. If Light is willing to kill Batman from the getgo, and especially if he's OK with some collateral damage, Light could kill him in a matter of hours.

Been over this, it's far easier for Light to figure out Bruce Wayne is Batman than Bruce figuring out that Light is Kira. Light's hubris left breadcrumbs that bit him in the ass later on, but Batman's notoriety and activity may as well be a giant neon sign.

It'll be far easier to finger an individual that stands out like Bruce Wayne than some random Japanese student.

it makes sense if you realize that people n that universe, are a lot dumber and much more incompetent than in ours and an average guy like bruce wayne would appear as a genius.

>>95168368
>there's just no plausible way to narrow it down.
Do you know how many occult contacts Batman has?

Because, Light mostly got as far as he did because pretty much nobody who was tracking him down believed he was using weirdo occult powers. He'd be a flavor of the week villain in DC. An average wednesday.

People start dropping dead. Batman investigates and finds it's for no mundane reason, rumors get out that it's a new God and Bruce opens up his speed dial and starts calling in favors from Jason Blood, Zatanna and for all I know the frigging Spectre.

The last of which would probably be on Light's ass minutes after his first few kills anyway.

Light could find a bystander to Batman, write his name down and control him to take off Batman's Mask. Then Light can get his face and kill him.

>>95159693
I'd prefer battousai v batman.

>>95168770
Assume for this scenario that Bats only has the voicemail for Supes and WW to be fair to L

Because that nigga wouldn't survive long in a world of capes

Question, how does the death note deal with languages? Does the name have to be written in the correct alphabet?
What if the native language of the person you're trying to kill has no official writing system or spelling guidelines?

>>95168815
>random ninja attack on Batman

Nigga pls, Bats jerks off to those kinda situations

>>95168770

At that point it isn't "Light vs Batman", it's "Light vs The Entire DC Universe".

>>95168933
>Assume for this scenario that Bats only has the voicemail for Supes and WW to be fair to L
Wonder Woman IS one of his occult contacts.

WML run she had a weirdo ability to reach into the mythic realms to talk to gods and occasionally take on their attributes. She used it to bring some sick and injured people the Goldend Fleece to heal them, and troll the ever living fuck out of Joker.

>>95168982
>>95168933
I think anon meant call them for info. He wouldn't have mentioned the Spectre for muscle.

He also treats Alfred like a dick now, since he's no longer his adoptive father, but just Batman's assistant. (inb4 the "deathnote doesn't work like that." I know.)
