Despite Disney owning both Marvel and Star Wars (and probably our immortal souls before it’s all over), we’re not likely to ever see Darth Vader and Thanos have an onscreen clash. That’s why we took it upon ourselves to evaluate Christensen’s bold words that his Sith Lord could defeat Marvel’s Mad Titan. We’ve determined that outside of some very specific circumstances, Darth Vader would mop the floor with Thanos every single time.
Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: if Thanos had the Infinity Gauntlet with all of the Infinity Stones and enough of a warning, he could just snap Vader out of existence. Even though Thanos is an infamous Marvel villain, this is an illustration of the Batman dilemma.
Fervent fans of the Caped Crusader always insist that the very human, very squishy Dark Knight could defeat gods, monsters, and Superman himself if only he had the right resources and prep time, but it’s not fun to imagine a lopsided fight where one foe is one hundred percent more prepared than the other.
