Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger from the movie "Shooter", and the novels written by Stephen Hunter:
Versus Batman, any of the movie versions.
Same storyline as the movie Shooter, except it takes place in Gotham. Bob Lee Swagger is framed for shooting the Ethiopian archbishop, and is on the run trying to clear his name, and the Bat is called upon to bring him to justice.
Swagger escapes Gotham to his home state of Arkansas, and decides to make a stand there. He arms himself with a .50 caliber sniper rifle, H&K G36 assault rifle, as well as two .45 automatics as sidearms. He also has all the standard sniper gear: Ghille suits, claymores, the works.
Swagger positions himself atop a hill with a long twisting road as the only way to it's top as the Bat comes into the view, in the Batmobile, a thousand yards away, determined to bring him to justice.
I know, the Bat is the Bat, and Swagger is just another guy, but do your research on Swagger before rushing to judgement on this matchup.

I should probably state that the road only leads so far, that Batman must exit his vehicle and pursue Swagger on foot at a certain point. Also that claymores have been placed at strategic locations throughout the woods, claymores that would shred the Bat if steps into their blast radius.

Batman dismantles bombs, researches all types of shooting techniques as well as hand to hand combat, this is a cakewalk to Batman. Bob Lee is good, however if he's not sniping, he's fighting hand to hand. Something that Batman can sustain, however Batman's judgement to combat at close quarters is to restrain, it's what he does. From afar, Batarang around Bob Lee, he plops to the floor like a fish.
By this time, you'll probably pull a "Bob Lee waits for Bats with a millions firearms, snipes him, bombs him, burns him." Yeah, like Batman would walk into a trap. there's a reason why they call him the night as well as the knight. He uses the element of surprise as well as his cunning speed. I've seen Batman dupe snipers with his long flowing cape, they don't know what to shoot if his cape is flowing everywhere. He's even used scarecrow posts to confuse snipers, and after watching Batman Begins, it seems Bale's Batman is way deadlier since we just don't exactly know what sort of training he's gone through. We see his ninja training pointed out, but before that he ran with thieves and fought inmates for the hell of it.

Also you've made this alittle one-sided. The same could be said about Batman.
Swagger wants to take out the Bat for some reasons, Bats sends him an encoded message him to meet somewhere in the Batcave, Swagger is walking into an ambush. How's that fair? These Vs. threads are meant to be about equal rights, not "come get me".
One sided? All the gear I have given Swagger is pretty much standard gear for snipers.
Hey, Swagger is on the run, remember? Why would he come after the Bat? AND, isn't that what Batman does? Go after criminals?
This is a good matchup, good conditions, with both combatants utilizing the best of their talents. Btas armor, BTW, aint gonna help against a .50 caliber sniper round.

Never said Swagger would be confused by scarecrows, I said it's one of Batman's tactics.
I researched Swagger, even the crappy novels that were put out. I've read one of them and didn't really like it. The movie was great though, I loved it.

I have not, this is me adding my choice of who would win. Why would I let your words sway me otherwise? I believe Batman can blend into the shadows and become the night itself. He has thermal goggles, he works best in pitch black, I believe he can take this fight. Nothing can sway me otherwise, sorry.
Swagger is a sniper, man, he has thermal goggles too. Lets say the Bat is canny enough to avoid the sniper fire, AND claymores. You think Swagger is gonna MISS with his G-36? He will tear the Bat to pieces, plain and simple. And who said this fight is at night?
Tell me, what does the Bat do? At night, what does he busy himself with?
