Mark Wahlberg Thinks Max Payne Could Take Batman in a Fight

DateFriday, August 29, 2008 at 7:29AM
What's gotten into Mark Wahlberg? The star of the upcoming Max Payne is calling out The Caped Crusader. In a recent chat with MTV, Wahlberg went all roid rage, claiming his character could so kick Batman's ass. "I’m not talking about financial box office," explains Wahlberg. "I’m talking about one-on-one with these (puts up fists).”

So in one corner we have the exquisitely trained Bruce Wayne and in the other corner the more barroom brawl tactics of the defiant cop, Max Payne. My money would be on Wayne, but Wahlberg is adamant.

"Take off the suit and if you want to go one-on-one, two-on-one, and put a couple of you guys together - they all like to put the comic book characters together - come at me," Wahlberg confidently swaggers. “I guarantee you there’s not a badder dude in a movie this year than Max Payne."

Calling it the most fun he's had playing a character, Wahlberg says that the only drawback to playing the video game icon is that Payne doesn't swear. Imagine that.

Wanna see the bad ass in action? Here's a new trailer:

Max Payne spreads love and joy beginning October 17th.

Barroom brawlers win everytime. To make it in a barroom brawl you must be quick and efficient. It's not pretty and its not nice but it works. Don't ask me any questions about it, though.

The batman is a sissy who is too preoccupied with himself to make it in the real world.

P.S. I do wonder about the Sin City / Constantine aestethic in the trailer ...

The slo-mo is is nice though :)

The role of "Mark Wahlberg the actor" should be killed off, no material should be given to this guy to act.

Batman wins.

I wouldn't call "Marky Mark" the most balanced person in the World. As long as I don't have to meet him and as long as his lack of balance projects into worthy roles like the one in The Departed, where he apparently was angry with everyone, it's cool with me.
