Yeah, this one really sucked. I really would prefer actual, historical figures rather than fictional characters for the next battle or even better a Mohammed vs Jesus or Mose would be interesting.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Epic Rap Battles Of History Thread

That video would be completely terrible if it wasn't for Robin and Watson, those too stole the show. Well, mostly Watson. Robin had a really awesome opening line.
-
Hmm, sorta unsure if I liked it. I didn
t at first, then watched it a few times and it grew a little on me. I agree that the beat wasn
t good and I really dont like that Batman voice. Man, did Christian Bale really sound that awful? Count me in on the Watson love, him and Robin were cool and Holmes wasn
t bad either. -
This new one was REALLY weak. Like, the weakest one since the Mario vs Wright bros one. Sure, there were some good rhymes on the Sherlock side at certain points, but it didn't make up for the weak ass Batman flow, rhymes, Robin… etc, etc. And what was up with the delivery of the "I'm batman" line? Was that on purpose? Dear lord.
-
Eh, it was ok I guess. Not as good as the last one though.
And eerie, no offense, but I find the Mario bros vs Wright bros to be one of their best ones IMO. To each his own I suppose.
-
It was pretty decent. I actually liked it. Come on, how can you not like it when Batman opens with the line "Nice hat… dork." That kills me every time.
-
I don´t know about you guys but my 2 favorite lines in all the battles are "I would smack you but in Germany, we don´t hit little girls" in Beethoven vs Bieber and
and "There are 10 million….. particles in the universe that we can observe, your mama took the ugly ones and put them into one nerd". -
Eh, it was ok I guess. Not as good as the last one though.

No offense taken. I just really didn't think much of that one.
-
Stephen Hawking vs. Albert Einstein is overrated. It sounds cool, but hell, Hawking was weak. Einstein was amazing, but no, people find the 10 million line cool.
This one has a weaker beat than the Super Powers battle, which is saying something. Still a better battle than that, though. Robin saved Batty's ass. Needle in your arm line was pure burn.
-
Super Powers battle? What do you mean?
-
The Super Powers Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage vs. guy who thinks he's a super power Kim Jong Il.
-
Guess you don't live in the US?
These raps are my guilty pleasure…..and this remains my favorite.
My favorite as well, right next to both Hitler vs Darth Vader battles 1 & 2 and Micheal Jackson vs Elvis Presley!!
-
Eh.
! > Nice hat…dork. You look like a duck.
! Burnometer: 2/10
Referencometer: 3/10
Weakest opening line, yet. Would have worked somewhere else, but uh. It's awkward as an opener. Holmes' hat does look like a duck, rather well joked about.
! > I had Alfred read your books…he told me they suck.
! Burnometer: 2/10
Referencometer: 1/10
God, this line makes Batman sound like a twelve year old. Weak line. Alfred reference is cool and all, but eh. Hell, it makes Batman look like a lazy ass.
! > I'll crush your British nuts until they're bangers and mash.
! Burnometer: 3/10
Referencometer: 3/10
Well, they had to make an English joke. The thought of ones' testicles crush to bangers and mash is…actually painful. :x
! > I've seen better detective work in Tango and Cash.
! Burnometer: 4/10
Referencometer: 4/10
! > You chump! I kick punks like you off the streets
! Burn: 1/10
Ref: 2/10
Meh. Most we're getting a reference to the baddies of Gotham City.
! > While you and Velma here are solving Scooby-Doo Mysteries
! Burn: 5/10
Ref: 4/10
Wattson as Velma? :L
! > Nothing makes me laugh, but I bet your raps can
! Burn: 1/10
Ref: 1/10
Just…weak. This sounds too juvenile for Batman.
! > So bring it on, bitch. I'm Batman!
! Burn: 2/10
Ref: 5/10
Reference is cool, execution is cringe-worthy. Batman sounds like a stoner saying this lyric.
! > I once met a fellow who smelled of guano and pain
! Burn: 5/10
Ref: 5/10
! > Holmes explain!
I deduce this deuce stain is Bruce Wayne!
! Burn: 5/10
Ref: 5/10
God it's ridiculous how Batman thinks no one gets it that he's Bruce. Holmes explain line is a nice touch.
! > The billionaire?
Yes. His wealth would allow this adversary of ours to afford the toys he needs -
Since he has no superpowers
! Burn: 8/10
Ref: 7/10
! > You want to battle bat? Bring it then.
I heard he has a British butler!
Good, then he'll be used to getting served by Englishmen!
! Burn: 7/10
Ref: 6/10
! > You're a whack vigilante black pantied spud with no skill
! Burn: 7/10
Ref: 5/10
! > My sidekick's a doctor!
Because his rhymes are so ill!
! Burn: 2/10
Ref: 2/10
Uh. This is just uh.
! > Shut up nerds. I serve justice so eat it.
! Burn: 1/10
Ref: 2/10
No…just no. Batman sounds like a 12 year old boy trying to elongate his penis.
! > My sidekick only comes around -
When he's needed!
! Burn: 0/10
Ref: 5/10
! > Boy-Wonder make you wonder how your ass got killed?
! Burn: 5/10
Ref: 7/10
Hey, I liked the pun.
! > Bite harder than those hounds down in Baskerville!
! Burn: 7/10
Ref: 8/10
! > I'll blast you with that bat-wack-rap repellent!
Rappel a building, snatch a villain, then by dinner be chillin'
! Burn: 7/10
Ref: 4/10
Self-ridicule, eh?
! > Got a secret 'bout your homegirl Irene Adler
Took her back to my nest to bam pow kersplat her.
! Burn: 6/10
Ref: 6/10
Eh. There's been too many "I banged your love interest" in these battles.
! > I'll shatter that fiddle with a chop of a hand
! Burn: 5/10
Ref: 6/10
! > Holy Conan Doyle! Let's get 'em!
Aww, god damn!
! Burn: 6/10
Ref: 6/10
More like burn for Robin.
! > You're not smart! You're selfish! You endanger everyone life!
! Burn: 9/10
Ref: 10/10
Holmes is pretty rash.
! …
! Really rash.
! > Why don't you let your boyfriend go home to his wife?
! Burn: 7/10
Ref: 6/10
! > No one likes you! Not your brother, not your partner, not Scotland Yard!
! Burn: 10/10
Ref: 10/10
Holy shit.
! > You'll die alone with no friends except for that needle in your arm!
! Burn: 10/10
Ref: 10/10
! > This mustn't register on an emotional level…
First, exploit childhood tragedy...then gesture with pipe...
Watson finishes punchline...next, acknowledge compliment
Conclude with killer catchphrase....
! Burn: 1/10
Ref: 10/10
! > I believe your parent's homicide is why you mask your face
You're shamed and traumatized and haunted by the vast disgrace
Of watching like a passive waste as momma died and daddy was dispatched with haste!
Holmes, you've cracked the case!
You're a bat shit crazy basket case!
! Burn: 10/10
Ref: 10/10
! > Bloody good rhymes!
I've got tonnes!
Dissing these dynamic douche bags was elementary, my dear Watson.
! Burn: 6/10

Ref: 8/10Wow, did someone have a little spare time on his hands? xD No seriously, kinda fun going through the whole battle again like this. Reading this totally put me in the mood of watching it again. Plus it made me realize that Watson has all my favorite lines. Don
t even know why, guess it
s just the delivery.Also, watching the recent ones again, Sinatra vs. Mercury is fucking boss.

The actor for Watson is so into it that makes him the best part.

Oh this one better be good
-
O_O Is that….?
-
Damn, now I'll have to stew in curiosity til Monday.
-
Good video, but that was a very one-sided battle. Kudos to them for getting such a huge name on board, though…
-
That… is actually very hard to call. Good lord they finally stumped me on who won! I can't wait for the video to go up.
-
Beat is weak, IMO.
Would have expected something more cheery, or at least epic.
-
It's out:
-
ITS GLORIUSSSS!!!!!
-
Wow, you guys weren't kidding when you said famous…
-
Im dying of joy right now!!!!
-
Well holy shit
awesome rap , not sure who won , both were great
-
When they said famous I figured it'd someone well know or maybe even on the A-List of rappers, I did not expect the most famous rapper of all time ever.
-
hi, my name is Meta…...i love rap music, hate metal music, and I have never been camping.
Hooooly crap, that was awesome. Snoop-I mean Moses and Santa both did a great job…...I'd call it a tie! The elf inclusion was unexpected, but a nice add.
-
If it wasnt for Snoops fangasmic part i would still be alive.
-
…
the video is weak.
Why.
Other than yeah...I already knew this so WELP.
-
So it seems they've finally returned after a two month hiatus.

Well that was… Let's just say I can hear the points of many pitchforks being sharpened already.
-
Strange. Is this the first time they've pitted two people from the exact same event?
…..Liked the beat, and I enjoyed it overall.....but.......I have to agree with Dryish......

Romney vs. Obama
And I echo your sentiments on all counts. -
That was just so forgettable.
-
-
I see what they tried to do but they failed with this one
-
Hmm, not the best idea for a rap battle to be honest.
Anyways, NEW BATLE!!!
!
Way better then the last one!!
-
Huge improvement, the Adam and Eve while still up, isn't on the main youtube's page.. strange.
-
I could be wrong, but I'm thinking they must be either a little ashamed of it or they've gotten a lot of complaints.
-
What the…Key and Peele?! How the heck did they get them?!
-
Ghandi totally won that
-
Well I really enjoyed that one, it felt really short though.
-
Okay, it gets cool points for getting Key and Peele…..but it was too short.

Fuck Edison, no seriously fuck him. Greedy asshole was nothing but a thief. He screwed over many inventors including Tesla with his power hungry businessman tactics, taking all the credit he didn't deserve and is still to this day unfairly regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors that ever lived when he didn't invent a goddamn thing. Glad the rap battle got that right.
