John McClane, called a "dinosaur" in some circles, still fights crime the good old-fashioned way: with a clip of ammo and a witty remark.
I disagree. Batman only got exceedingly high-tech in TDK. In Begins, he was a stealth-ass fucking ninja, largely. Sure, McClane can walk on broken glass and take out a building of clumsy German terrorists, but he was really obvious about it. Gruber knew who he was like halfway through the movie. Batman, on the other hand, took out Falcone's entire shipment gang and the big man himself and nobody saw a goddamn thing.

BAD. ASS.
