Who Would Win?
1st match- Sherlock Holmes (the traditional one, not this movie's one), Batman, Indiana Jones and James Bond are all after the same artifact.

Who gets there FIRST... and who KEEPS IT? ;)

Indiana Jones would most likely get there first as he is the least contemplative of the group. Bonds would lose out because he was shagging some sexually name female instead of focusing on the job.

In the end, though, Batman would retain the prize. His gadgets would out perform Jones or Holmes. While his detective skills and intellect would probably out dual Bonds. This presumes Bonds does not have the complete backing of MI6.

dual should read "duel"

Isn't there a 2nd thread about this? http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?viewthread=522666#522666

Whats the difference? Still go for Holmes after subcontracting Jones to fetch it.

Bond never has the complete backing on MI6, so that's a safe bet Primerafik!
Sherlock would spend too much time contemplating why he needs the artifact.

Since you didn't include the Joker into the question. We can deduce that the Joker is either dead or someplace else. If he's dead Batman would retire. If he's someplace else you can bet that Batman is preocuppied with him.

Bonds would be busy with his girls like Primer said.

Indiana Jones would get it because he has nothing to hold him back.

No, i diagree with you all. Dr. House gets there last, uses his complete lack of care to trick the 4 of them into not wanting the artifact, steals it for himself and then hobbles back to princeton university hospital to do Cuddy. BAM. IN YO FACE
Oh, in that case I change my answer. Chuck Norris gets it.
obiwanobiwan (248 D)

LOL House...

But House wouldn't WANT the artifact unless it was something like The Golden Vicodin of Ghengis Khan (KKKHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!)

Batman might want the artifact to keep it AWAY from the Riddler or Joker...
Indy wants it because he's Indy...
Holmes was contacted a couple times by the royalty to find things for them, so maybe...
And Bond would be ordered by M to get it before some villian.

So, my take:

The first thing Bond EVER does while on a mission is... do whatever is NOT the mission. Pussy Galore indeed...

So he's WAY behind.

Indy takes off like a bullet, hopping from place to place...
Batman would take a bit of time to research in the Batcave, then off in the Jet or Batmobile, pretty fast...
Holmes might be the best at spotting nuances of the four, but he also has the worst transportation- horse buggy, a train or steamer if he's lucky.

After a little screwing around, Bond decides to get down to it (take that as you will.) He usually has GPS something, so he's probably tracking the others, and sees that Indy's the closest, and takes off in his new car in that direction.

But he gets intercepted by thugs and captured... because 007 always needs to get captured at least once.

He uses his gadgets to escape, but he still loses time.

Batman and Indy, too, have to fight off bad guys.

HOLMES, meanwhile, has been relatively enemy-free, with the exception of the occasional thug, and that's nothing he can't handle. He's now cracked the crucial part of the code (whatever it is, always a code for these treasures) and takes the lead.

Indy escapes the Nazis and is close behind, and Batman's on his tail.

Bond's been captured again... turns out once again his squeeze was a hired gun...

Holmes arrives first, but needs help. Indy obliges, as Holmes doesn't want the trophy anyway, just the satisfaction of cracking the case and notoriety and pay that comes with it, so Idny afterwards can still have the artifact for his museum.

And then along comes Batman.

Holmes and Indy don't play by the rules quite often.

Batman doesn't HAVE rules... except two- don't kill, and WIN.

Holmes' cane and revolver are no match for knockout gas... he's out.
Indy's whip proves more dangerous... until a Batarang slices it in half. Indy's still got his gun- another Batarang. He's still a great fistfighter... he and Batman are equally matched there... but Batman's still darker and has more gadgets anyway... Indy's out.

And, just as Batman's loading the artifact onto his jet... fresh from three captures, four fire fights, one supervillian, and five hours of sex on the autopilot plane...

The name's Bond- James Bond.

They gadget fight for a while... but their toys are equally matched. They fight for a while, but Bat,an's in for more than he bargained for- this isn't the joking Moore Bond or the "troubled" Craig Bond, or the dull Lazenby/Dalton Bonds... not even the suave, sophisticated and awesome Brosnan Bond.

This is THE Bond... the alcholic one... the CONNERY one.

So Connery Bond's plenty able to keep up with Batman fist to fist... they're equally matched... but then-

Help.

Who's Bond got on the bench? Pussy Galore, THE Bond girl, sexy, dangerous, and with the most incredibly porno-inspired name ever for a Bodn girl.

And Batman has... Robin. Nightwing. Batgirl? Who cares- NONE of them can beat a Bond girl!

So while Robin plays boy scouts and faster than you can say "Holly Raging Hormones, Batman!" he gets his little ass handed to him.

And Bond has the artifact and... yes- Pussy Galore (he snuck Natalya and Jinx on the plane, too... Brosnan Bond wasn't happy...)

obiwanobiwan +007! Of course, we didn't include Duncan Mcleod in the mix or things might have turned out different for Bond as there can be only one!
I agree with Zaza, he beat me to the punch: Chuck Norris gets there first (or last if he feels like it) and proceeds to roundhouse kick everybody else into bitsize pieces, that he then jerkies and stores in his beard for later consumption with whiskey and seared infant.

Superman and the Flash race to the end of the universe, who wins? Chuck Norris!
When God said "Let there be light," Chuck Norris said "Say please."
Chuck Norris does not consider it sex if the woman survives.
Primerafik (264 D)
13 Jan 10 UTC
I still say Batman only because Bonds would have to hand over the artifact and Batman would steal it away as a trophy for his cave.

Draugnar: Duncan could just wait everyone out, literally.

@Primerafik:

WHY do you keep calling 007 "Bonds?" He's not a juicer for the Giants, after all... ;)

And CHUCK NORRIS...???

Know what- that's match #2:

Clint Eastwood, Ahnuld, Sly, Sean Connery, Chuck Norris, and Harrison Ford all...

Play a drinking game?

Sure, why not, they can fight later lol.. so-

Which of those six superstar badasses can stomach the most?

Is it the Inebriator?
Is it the Man With No Name... for AA?
Is it the punch-drunk champ?
Is it bar-room brawler (Solo AND Indy work there lol...)
Is it Chuck Norris (hbis name AND nickname... the Human Punchline lol...)
Is it both the original "Mr. Bond" and "Mr. Brandy?"

I pick Connery- NO ONE can pack it away like him... Ahnuld would get angry as a drunk and lose first, then Sly... Ford and Eastwood are awesome, but I can't see them winning this... and Chuck Norris- anything I say about the man would be a joke, so why bother?

Connery wins... and his prize- its a BRAND NEW LIVER! ;)

I think Sherlock Holmes will get there first. He's a really smart dude.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Drinking match? Let's see Connery is Scottish and he played James Bond, one of the heaviest drinkers in all of cinema.

Of course Indiana Jones dated Marion who could drink the locals under the table, so you have to figure Indy could hold his liquor.

The rest are all light weights in drinking. Chuck Norris is, in reality, a very spiritual man and not one to take to drink. I've read his autobiography and he had a father who was a drunk, so I doubt he'd even bother to show. Ahnuld is too worried about his physique to do something so harmful to his body. Stallone... I don't know that I've ever seen him play a drinking role of any sort. Eastwood maybe, with the spaghetti westerns, although he was a preacher in Pale Rider and didn't drink there.

So it's Connery or Ford. Based on their roles, it would be Connery. We never really saw Indy or Han (or Jack Ryan) really drink. Based on their real life heritage, Connery again. He's *Scottish* for f%cks sake!

So, Connery by a landslide.

"Q" from Star Trek TNG.

13 Jan 10 UTC
John de Lancie? Really? 'Q' may be an all powerful being, but John de Lancie is just a quick witted actor in the role. Oh, and 'Q' couldn't even take a punch. Just go watch the series premier of Deep Space 9 when Sisko decks him.

Q - "You hit me! Picard never hit me!"
Sisko - "I'm *not* Picard."

But that brings in the next potential candidates and competition.

Bar brawl winner...

Connery
Avery Brooks (Hawk on Spenser: For Hire and Captain Sisco on DS9)
Daniel Craig (another Bond)
Sly
Bruce Willis (John McClane anyone?)
Ahnuld


I intentionally left out Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Chuck Norris. We'll cover marital arts experts another time.

Daniel jackson from SG1, greatest artifact finder/code cracker you'll ever find, plus he has MacGyver backing him up. How can they not beat puny little sherlock or indy? MacGyver can handle bond, while batman may be a problem, but a little bit of Asgard beaming technology and i'm sure Daniel will get the artifact, and possibly the girl!

Hmmm... bar room brawl...

well, you have to figure that as Connery can hold his liquor best, he'd be pretty formidable in a fight, gettting drunk and STILL able to kick your ass...
Sisko's a mean ncuss of a captain- good for a barr room fight...
Craig's Bond... eh, not over Connery at least, he's so far a middle-of-the-road Bond with his character and movie in Casino Royale being kick-ass and complex wil in QOS he's a bit of a troubled teen and the movie's not great... yeah, there's no way he'd beat the Connery Bond, he's out
Sly's whole business is brawls...
Ahnuld too, but he's probably better at bodybuilding and using weapons than bare fisted
Bruce Willis... not against these guys...

So Connery, Avery, and Sly... Avery's seriously lacking in star power and his character sans prohpet-whatever-magic (I STILL can't believe they put that stuff in STAR TREK...!) so he's out there...

Connery vs. Stallone... Stallone's got more experience and is bigger, but Connery's more in tune with the bar environment and is faster...

Can't decide between them...?
