Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake Teaser July 11, 2012

My good friends over at Bat in the Sun, who previously had made Batman short films greatly inspired by games like Batman: Arkham Asylum, have announced the newest lineup for their series Super Power Beat Down.

Super Power Beat Down takes two of the most popular characters in comics, science fiction, and video games and pits them against one another while an expert panel discusses their strengths and weaknesses.  It’s a great series with high production values and a great deal of humor.  Previous episodes have pitted Batman against Wolverine, Gandolf against Darth Vader and had a drag race between two iconic Batmobiles.

The next episode is going to be the first time Super Power Beat Down has featured two iconic video game characters, and they couldn’t be better matched.  Nathan Drake, from the Playstation-Exclusive series Uncharted will be matched up against Lara Croft from the multiplatform series Tomb Raider.  As treasure hunters, both bring acrobatics, cunning and weapons expertise to the game.

I have to say that this matchup has divided the site contributors as I happen to favor Nathan Drake in this match whereas Princess Angel favors Lara Croft.

Director Aaron Schoenke promises the new episode will be posted after the San Diego Comic Con and encourages anyone attending the convention to come check them out, as they will be in attendance.
