Batman vs. Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham #1

[cyberghostface]

"Batman vs Bigby was written with the idea that some of the readers will be new to Bigby and Fables. Everything essential that you need to know is already cooked into the story. You don’t need to be Fables-wise to fully enjoy it. But that’s not to say a reader couldn’t enhance the experience by starting to read Fables too. In fact, I hope many new readers will be inspired to come to Fables as a result of this tale.

However, if you’re one of the readers who knows all about Fables but nothing about Batman? I’m not sure such a creature exists, but if you do, I’ve tried my best to make the essential Batman as understandable as can be. We’ll see if I’ve succeeded." -- Bill Willingham

Batman's status as an urban legend within Gotham could play a role. He's vulnerable to Batman because the people in Gotham believe Batman is that powerful.

That's a really interesting idea.

Have a No Prize!... sorry, wrong company. I'll just see myself out.

I mean, how many mundies have they really gone up against? Bigby fought some Nazis and then I guess there was that thing where Bluebeard killed that idiot reporter who thought they were vampires*.

*Seriously, blackmailing them STILL would have been suicidal if he was right.

I'm not sure most of them would see Batman coming. I mean, Bigby should because, y'know, WOLF but I think he has good odds against even a badass like Charming.

Honestly I'd much rather see Batman meet Boy Blue is his prime though. Blue would probably be pretty curious about the costume until he finds out it isn't magic.

THERE WE GO - yea - that's sort of how I was deciding to read it. Batman is empowered by the belief of the city - and Bigby wasn't expecting that and got broad sided.
