As anakin also turned into a discorporated spirit, does that mean wormtongue is also a maia?
Maia? No, but according to Tolkien he would also have become a discorporated spirit via the Gift of Men when his time in Middle Earth was over.

Except for this guy...
Meh... He wasn't Vader yet and that wasn't a Jedi, but ok. He killed one of the weakest villains ever.

Quote:Dooku was a Jedi Master who fell to the dark side of the Force and became a Dark Lord of the Sith, known as Darth Tyranus. Born into a noble family on the planet Serenno, he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Dooku was taken by the Jedi Order as a child and apprenticed to Thame Cerulian. As a Jedi Knight, he took Qui-Gon Jinn as his first Padawan, and later trained Komari Vosa. Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in the galaxy, on par only with Masters Yoda and Mace Windu.

Barney vs Thomas the Tank
Clearly Barney would win based simply on his wretched theme song.
Harry Potter vs Gandalf
Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White?
Muhammad vs Jesus
Muhammad had a flying horse. 'Nuff said.

Meh. When little Annie whacked him, he was an aging Sith who, despite the accolades, was portrayed in the film a a very weak villain. It was a huge strain on the suspension of disbelief that Obi Wan whooped Annies ass but couldn't contribute to a two on one battle for more than a few minutes.

If you had any shred of disbelief, you wouldn't have been watching Star Wars.

Nah. Any work of fiction requires the suspension of disbelief. You are after all, accepting as real (for however small a time) something that is patently unreal.

As far as vader being a bad guy... That maybe true, but only from a certain point of view
The only Jedi Vader actually fought whooped his ass and left him for dead (always confirm your kills) by a river of lava. The others were killed by the emperor's forces through stealth and treachery.
Don't forget he took out count Doo doo, he also took out mace, a Jedi temple worth of Jedi, star killer (in the game/books) not to mention old Ben kenobi, and the emperor himself, which palpitine seems to be the most powerful being in that Galaxy. (He even took out yoda) not to mention he bested luke several times..
Bats would be bats if he were to try and take out vader.

In the video the Dark Knight had a light saber too. I think the utility belt is safe. You should also be aware that Batman has already beaten Superman once. Anyone that can beat Superman can certainly take out a telekinetic cyborg.
If you remember lex has taken superman out several times himself. All one needs is a bit of green glow stone, and soups is sunk (per superman 1)
