History WebVideo / SuperPowerBeatDown

* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Deadpool makes the mistake of bragging about his HealingFactor to someone who normally tries ''not'' to kill his enemies.

* ActuallyADoombot: When they confront each other, Deadpool tries to shoot Deathstroke almost immediately, but it turns out to just be a hologram to distract him.

* DavidVersusGoliath: The 6-feet tall Iron Man is fighting against 28-feet tall Optimus Prime. This isn't changed much when Iron Man puts on the Hulkbuster Armor. [[spoiler: Prime takes the, close, winning vote.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Even the Joker is weirded out by Deadpool's antics.

** Wolverine is portrayed as a lecherous {{Jerkass}} HeManWomanHater in his fight against Wonder Woman. Hell, he sounds more like Deadpool when asking Cyclops about an island full of "big breasted women".

** Star-Lord says, "Really?" when his blaster runs out of energy right when he had Boba Fett at his mercy.

* {{Fanservice}}: The female host bets whether the '80s Batmobile will outperform the '60s. She loses and has to scrub them in a bikini.

* Franchise/{{Batman}} vs. ComicBook/BlackPanther

# ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} vs. ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}

# [[Series/{{Batman}} 1960s Batmobile]] vs. [[Film/{{Batman}} 1980s Batmobile]] (in a race) [[spoiler:'60s Batmobile wins.]]

** Joker asks Deadpool, "[[Film/{{Batman}} You ever dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight?]]"

'''Batman:''' [[Film/{{Batman}} I'm Batman.]]

* CasualDangerDialog: Iron Man, in full Robert Downey Jr. style.

''[[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6F730F85FA7C34C2 Super Power Beat Down]]'' is a live-action WebVideo series focused on bringing two fighters from assorted media into battle against each other. The victors are decided by popular vote. The show currently has 22 battles done.

'''Batman:''' I underestimate nothing. (''draws a lightsaber'')

** [[spoiler:Joker keeps laughing in Negan's face, enraging him more and more throughout their fight. In the end he plays along with Negan's attempt to make him SayMyName...long enough to slip on his ElectricJoybuzzer and fry him.]]

** Darth Maul does this to Mary-Jane to lure Spider-Man to him.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: As usual, Deadpool has no respect for the Fourth Wall. During his battle against Batman, he does an AsideComment: "Tweet that, bitches! Winning![[note]]Referencing, of course, Charlie Sheen's "Wining!" hashtag.[[/note]]" During the battle against Joker and Harley, he comments on how Marvel is owned by Disney, waves to the audience, and even pulls out an iPad and votes on the battle itself on Bat in the Sun's website.

** [[Series/{{Mythbusters}} Jamie Hyneman]] is asked his opinion on the Darth Maul/Spider-Man fight.

* TheCavalry: [[spoiler: In the alternate ending of Iron Man vs Optimus Prime, Tony calls in the Iron Legion to deliver the killing blow.]]

-->'''Joker:''' [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily Ah, the memories...]]

* DesignatedGirlFight: Invoked, Domino tells Deadpool to let her handle Harley because [[DistractedByTheSexy Deadpool is too easily distracted.]] Of course Deadpool ends up fighting her anyway...and Domino was right.

** The Joker uses his against Deadpool. Of course, being Deadpool, the Merc With a Mouth survives.

* FeelNoPain: [[spoiler:Or rather less of it. The Joker's canonical insanity based pain resistance comes into play fighting Negan and he's clearly less hindered by the pain of his injuries as Negan is by his. As a result, Negan stops short while pummeling him and ends up getting flash fried by the Joker's signature ElectricJoybuzzer as a result.]]

* GratuitousRussian: Black Widow quotes a Russian proverb, when giving Winter Soldier his assignment in "Winter Soldier vs. Nightwing". As he's leaving, he turns around and tells her he's not a fool, also in Russian. Bonus points for using proper Russian. [[note]]Helped by the fact that Tatiana [=DeKhtyar=], who played Black Widow in the episode, [[HowsYourBritishAccent is actually Russian]].[[/note]]
* GloveSnap: When Joker is about to finish off Deadpool, he puts on rubber gloves and makes them snap.

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Joker and Negan agree to fight without guns or explosives. Naturally, Joker eventually pulls out his Tommy Gun. Harley Quinn calls him naughty-naughty for this, and he replies, "Here's a shocker: I'm cheating."

** [[spoiler:Spider-Man 2099 gets electrocuted into unconsiousness and Batman Beyond arrests him.]]

** Nathan Drake comes across as TheDitz to the extreme, including calling the gold skull he just found 'Steve' and being scared shitless by a snake he could just get up and step away from. In his home series, while he is a goof to some extent, that rarely carries over into battles - and never to this extent.

* ShockAndAwe: Nightwing's electric bo staves, naturally.

'''[[spoiler:Bruce Wayne Beyond]]:''' ''(in full armor, pissed off)'' '''I'm Batman'''.

** [[spoiler: Optimus Prime's way to kill Iron Man is by ''crashing a satellite piece on him while he's badly hurt.'' ''It completely works out in Prime's favor.'']] The alternate ending of this battle is likewise extreme; [[spoiler: Tony, in the endosym armor, performs a CombinationAttack on Prime with the help of his Iron Legion.]]

** In terms of results, [[spoiler:the Joker is the most lopsided polling result in the show's history at 71% in his favor, while most fights land somewhere in the 50-60 percents in the winner's favor.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Symbiote Spider-Man doesn't waste ''three'' seconds killing Darth Maul.]]

'''[[spoiler Bruce Wayne Beyond:]]''' ''(in full armor, pissed off)'' '''I'm Batman'''.

** [[spoiler:[[Literature/{{It}} Pennywise]]]] appears at the end of Joker and Neegan's fight.

* ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind: [[spoiler:After defeating Neegan, an utterly spent Joker is suddenly threatened by Pennywise. Before Pennywise can attack, Harley Quinn knocks him out with her baseball bat.]]

** The Joker and Neegan had intended to forge an alliance, but Joker's gang had just been killed by the zombies. Instead, they challenge each other to a duel, which Harley Quinn broadcasts to the Internet. If Joker wins, he gets control of Neegan's gang. If Neegan wins, he gets the Joker's hideout and Harley's services.

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Joker and Neegan agree to fight without guns or explosives. Naturally, Joker eventually pulls out his Tommy Gun. Harley Quinn asks what he's doing, and he replies, "Duh, I'm cheating."

** Joker believes he has defeated Neegan and celebrates. Harley Quinn warns him to look behind him because Neegan is getting up. Joker yells at her to never interrupt him, but turns around in time.

** Joker bites Neegan's hand to escape from a hold.

** Batman using the EMP to disable Vader's life support. When Vader tells Batman that the Force will sustain him, Batman tells him he's counting on that, knowing he's just leveled the playing field a bit to fight Vader. [[spoiler:The alternate ending reveals that Batman's fight was this, keeping Vader busy long enough for Superman's cage to be disabled and Superman to save Batman.]]

** The Empire has somehow captured Superman. Batman infiltrates the Death Star and attempts to rescue him, but Darth Vader intercepts him.

** The Joker and Neegan challenge each other to a duel. Winner gets control over their respective gang and hideout.

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Joker and Neegan agree to fight without guns or explosives. Naturally, Joker eventually cheats by pulling out his Tommy Gun.

* CrowbarCombatant: The Joker beats up a drugged Deadpool with a crowbar. Naturally, he can't resist the MythologyGag:

* BatmanGambit: Batman using the EMP to disable Vader's life support. When Vader tells Batman that the Force will sustain him, Batman tells him he's counting on that, knowing he's just leveled the playing field a bit to fight Vader. [[spoiler:The alternate ending reveals that Batman's fight was this, keeping Vader busy long enough for Superman's cage to be disabled and Superman to save Batman.]]

* LookBehindYou: Lara tells Nathan that there's a snake behind him and walks away. He says he won't fall for that, but there really is a rattlesnake behind him and he barely avoids it.

* ManBitesMan: When Casey Jones puts Kick-Ass in a sleeper hold, Kick-Ass escapes by biting his arm.

# ComicBook/TheJoker vs. [[Series/TheWalkingDead Negan]]

* AnArmAndALeg: During their battle, Iron Man manages to blast off Optimus' right arm with his repulsors. [[spoiler:Later, after the ColonyDrop, Optimus loses his left leg.]]

--->'''Star-Lord:''' You know my favorite movie is? ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}''!

** When Deadpool brandishes a rubber chicken, Harley says "Really?"

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Makes sense considering the battles run on ExcusePlot, but still; virtually any battle between two heroic characters could be avoided by talking things through, such as a misunderstanding (Batman vs Wolverine) or striking some sort of deal (Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake). Of course, if they ''did'' avoid the plot, we wouldn't get the battles.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Star-Lord tries his "let's dance-off!" distraction against Bobba Fet. He is shot a second later.
-->'''Bobba Fet:''' I hate dancing.

* PopCulturedBadass: Star-Lord makes many references to Earth's popular culture while fighting Bobba Fet, such as using ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' as an UnusualEuphemism for how much it hurts to punch someone wearing Mandalorian armor and a reference to ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' for his [[spoiler:PreMortemOneLiner]], "Phone home, bitch!"

** Star Lord and Boba Fett are fighting over the bounty for a ComicBook/GreenLantern ring.

** Star Lord punching Fett in the balls.

* PopCulturedBadass: Star Lord makes many references to Earth's popular culture while fighting Bobba Fet, such as using ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' as an UnusualEuphemism for how much it hurts to punch someone wearing Mandalorian armor and a reference to ''ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' for his [[spoiler: PreMortemOneLiner]], "Phone home, bitch!"

** When fighting Boba Fett, Star Lord tries to distract him with [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy an impromptu dance-off]].
