you guys seriously think keaton batman is a better fighter? did you forget the part where he gets his ass handed to him by a random joker thug in the bell tower?
bale batman righted the neck flaw that the keaton batsuit had, it was a major flaw since he had to move his whole torso to look left and right.
thats a handicap you don't want in a fistfight.
and the whole bit about him being better at MA lolz, he got dummied by the big guy in the belfry, sure that was his only low point but you got to remember that that guy was not wearing body armour and lacked bat-gadgets.
speaking or gadgets, bale bats has those sharp, corbon fleshets in his gauntlets, quite handy
Ok, so.. he fixed a flaw that Keaton Bats didnt need to fix. Doesnt help your argument.
As far as the MA goes, i already addressed the belfry part. Keaton was just taking the hits. Purposely.
As far as the flachettes in the gauntlet goes, Bale would have to get them off at close range AND in the face before Keaton Bats puts him down. Keatons reaction time was way faster than bales. Les not forget about him reflecting the bullet Jack Napier shot at him.
and atleast keaton let the joker fall from climbing up onto the helicopter.
bale didnt have the balls to drop his joker when he was hanging him by the cord there
Just wanted to throw it out there since it hasn't been mentioned, but Keaton's Batman was fast and skilled enough to block swords with his arms and legs.
i think bale was a much better fighter in batman begins than this one cause he did good taking out those ninjas. in the dark knight he got whipped on the street afew times by some of jokers buddies

bale was exibiting a pretty good understanding or krav-magra, an israeli
"art" in which the defender cares nothing for the well being of their attacker since personal safety is paramount. he used his opponent's guns against them and put groups of attackers out of commission as quick as possible. he would own keaton bats since keaton bats was a getting a savage beating in the last scene of the first movie, he didn't utilize his feet when the guy was an obvious pure brawler with minimal skill (just hella strong). he didn't utilize any openings or judo throws which would have taken the guy out from the start...poor show keaton.
