The Nightstar Zoo

You know, if Batman's so smart, he should just ask Vash to leave. Offer him a deal like:

"I'm the best detective in the world, so tell me who you're looking for, and if he's in Gotham I'll find him, if not I'll at least find some clues. In the meanwhile, go wait for the results in Metropolis. Here's the money for the train and hotel fare, don't mention it, and don't say who sent you. Bye..."

I agree that the Batman would have the eventual long-term advantage. What I haven't heard is a sufficiently good reason for Vash to stick around Gotham long enough to get the upper hand. Why is Vash even in Gotham? If he starts getting trouble from the Dark Knight, why doesn't he just leave?

Bruce is going to need a while to suss the Human Thyphoon out enough to figure out how to capture him. I don't think Vash is going to oblige by sticking around long enough to get sussed out. He'll dissappear as quickly as a box of hot glazed Krispy Kremes.

Match to Vash.

I've seen and read plenty of Batman, and I've seen just enough Trigun to know that in any reasonbly written story, Vash and Batman wouldn't fight. Or at least, they wouldn't stay enemies for much of the narritive. At his worst, Vash is a man with horrible luck and and a walking argument against the bounty system. I really think that either Vash and Batman would team up against someone. Its the most likely outcome.

In that scenario, Vash wins on a technicality.
