boy-thing is a part of his standard gear since the Avengers. With that he's fought Silver Surfer and Gladiator. Give Batman prep and he could figure something out, but random fight, Blade is winning.
Batman could win, but he'd be in flight mode (As in fight or flight). Blade is faster, stronger and a competant combatant, which in a real fight would give him the edge needed to mitigate Batman's superior combat knowledge. It would likely be a close fight, but as I mentioned, Blade's physical stats are superhuman, while Batman's are peak human. I think that there is a possibility that this fight could resemble the Batman vs Zealot fight of several years past.
Stoic, you really need to let go of the notion Bats is just peak human. His feats are so numerous, even in the last few years to push him past the human tier.
"Not to speak for Suicide Squad," Snyder tweeted, but Batman is not meta. He gets powers for stories (like 'Darkseid War'), but he's never been meta in nature... he is meta in his awesomeness, but that's a different matter."
UPDATE: Suicide Squad writer Rob Williams has weighed in on the topic as well, stating via Twitter, "People reading too much into this. Waller/The People's goal in the current storyline is to lock away all superhumans, Batman included... Whether Batman has powers or not doesn't matter to her/them. Given his actions and how he runs with the Justice League, he's a target."
But he is human, a peak human that PIS will not erase. He has no physical augmentations, no super speed, superhuman strength, or super durability. Drop him 400 feet with no grappling hook, cape or anything to slow his fall, and he'd be a bloodstain on the asphalt pavement. He isn't a low meta, he's a peak human with toys. His toys and combat ability are really the only reasons that he could walk among guys well above his weight class.
There was a thread that lasted for hundreds of posts that pitted Batman against Spiderman. People wanted to ignore the speed advantage, durability advantage, strength advantage, agility advantage and every other advantage that Spiderman held over Batman because well, he's Batman.
Peak comic book human is what he is. It isn't a bad thing, it's simply what he is. When he picks up a bus and tosses it across the street, he will then become a meta human.
Bruce is a regular peak human in a suit. His suit is armored and he's a top tier h2h fighter with soft spot and pressure point knowledge and awareness. At some point since beyond seems to be a very possible future he'll probably permanently add Physical enhancement to his suit.
Tell that to everyone who insists Val Armorr couldn't fight his way against any street level, despite regularly sparring on even grounds with Superman class opponents.

That’s quite a bit different though. Sm has so many more appearances but in general ares battles Hercules and spidey breaks his hand on Hercules face.... that’s different then bats regularly performing superhuman feats. Bats in more like Logan and his ability to regularly take down high meta or above bricks. When it happens enough it isn’t pis. Or you throw out EVERYTHING which makes no sense to me. I honestly don’t get the hang up in handbook definitions though. Who cares if bats is constantly depicted as a low level meta....?
The gargoyle he caught was halfway up the building. So halve the height of that skyscraper, and that's the speed he was at when he caught it (after being stabbed and kicked out some pretty tough glass).
