Seriously? They're bringing back Batman just so he can fight Captain America?
Ugh... Remember when Death Battles were actually original and clever? It will probably be at least a fairly good fight, but we've already seen Cap and Bat fight on various other Youtube channels as well as in the comics, so what's the point? I highly doubt we'll ever see another fight like Rainbow Dash vs Starscream or Shang Tsung vs Akuma (these fights were surprisingly good and original match ups) again.
It's quite clear that the reason why they are doing all these unoriginal fights is because of recent films and if the characters are still in everyone's minds. Terminator vs Robocop only came out because of the Robocop reboot, Godzilla vs Gamera only came out because of the Godzilla reboot, and Steve vs Bruce is only coming out because of Avengers 2/Man of Steel 2. Oh, and to please all the bitchy Batman fanboys who hated the fact he lost to Spider-Man.
I also have another thing I want to say about Death Battle: It's disregard for continuity. People think that Wiz and Boomstick are experts just because they can reference one or two obscure or unusual events involving the characters. This is a bit of a nitpick, but it bugs me when they keep fusing two or more versions of a character together to make the fight fairer. Prime examples include the recent Godzilla vs Gamera, and just about every single Sonic the Hedgehog fight.
i don't hate the show. Far from it. But I just wanted to get these little nitpicks off my chest.

I didn't like that they put him against Spider-Man, clearly an unfair match. Also, I'll bet the Batman vs Captain America match all end in a tie.

That was my problem with the Superman/Goku fight. There are so many different Supermen, they could have at least used New 52 or something.

New 52 Superman would slaughter Goku. Way more powerful then Pre-Flashpoint Superman. There not being unoriginal. They just never did the fights yet and people probably requested them. I don't see what the problem is.

The battles don't seem to have the same 'pop' anymore. The battles themselves haven't really declined in quality. It's just the concept of Captain Anerica and Batman having a hypothetical 'who would win' fight for the billionth time is getting boring.

Very true but you had to know it was coming with all the Marvel and DC talk regarding the films.

I think you've been spoiled on these forums where lots of original fights take place. We've seen so many of the same two go against each other we get jaded.

Well the thing is JLA vs Avengers settled who would win most of those fights (Pre-Flashpoint DC) and was canon no matter what people think. Cap vs Batman we know would go a long time and Cap would win in the end.

I was disappointed to see Cap vs. Bats as the next fight myself. I'll say that Deathbattle is probably the best forum used for these matches because the go into heavy detail of each character before the fight so that you got a decent handle on a character you may not know when you start watching. The other's don't really do that.
Even here, you only really get to know a character when people actually debate their matches.

Ok, so the fight itself was a little better than what I imagined, but they got tons of things wrong. (The way Bruce killed Steve was much cooler than the usual Death Battle death)
First off, they seemed to merge all of the Batman continuities together (They were using feats and gadgets from multiple DC continuities), and Cap could have just decapitated Bruce with one of his first attacks.

Death Battle have started to use some characters I had never heard of before, which is good. Some of the characters they use recently are actually pretty awesome. I never gave a crap about freaking Naruto or Avatar characters before their battle between Toph Bei Fong and Gaara.
One Minute Melee is a bit rubbish though. Some of the battles are incredibly well animated (Akuma VS Kenpachi) while others are almost impossible to watch because of the damned camera angles (Juri VS Kim Kaphwan). There's trying to make your audience feel more a part of the action, and then there's trying to give your audience a collective migraine. However, the better ones are still worth a watch.
They've recently said that they'll be remaking Boba Fett VS Samus, but I think that one definitely deserves to be remade. I also want to see their original build for their first video.
