Snake lights up.

The thing about versus fights between video game characters is that they make absolutely no sense to talk about. Solid Snake is as good a fighter as whoever happens to be playing the game; we don't see him fight hand-to-hand in any the cutscenes, so we don't actually have a basis for comparison. But this is the guy who got taken captive by Sniper Wolf because maybe four guards were pointing guns at him and he couldn't deal with them; I go with Batman.

Not nessasarilly true. In the gamecube version, he fights the Cyborg Ninja in a cutscene. In fact, at the end of most of the fights they have a cutscene showing Snake beating the bad guys down with a bunch of Matrix effects and whatnot to drive home the point of how hardcore he is.
Regardless, I think it makes sense to assume he beat everyone who he fights in the game, since thats how the storyline goes if you play the game straight through.
Solid Snake is a super-soldier type character. He was created when the government took DNA from a guy codenamed 'Big Boss' widely considered to be the best soldier ever, isolated the genes that made him so great, and consentrated them in a clone fetus. Said clone fetus eventually grew into Solid Snake. The extent of his stregnth is not specifically mentioned, but he is definetely in the Perfect Human Specimen catagory as far as strength and agility go, at least. He may even be somewhat above that, depending who you talk to.
Some notable things he did include; defeating the aforementioned super strong, super agile Cyborg Ninja character in hand to hand combat; taking out an M1A1 tank with grenades; single-handedly taking down a Hind-D helicopter; single handedly defeated three different Metal Gear battle mechs; and killing droves of genetically modified 'super soldiers'.
Something to remember in a batman vs. snake topic is that snake ages in each succesive game, and he isn't getting any younger.

Yeah but set the game to easy and all of these tasks become.......easy.
It all depends on the player. I can complete all Metal Gears on the highest difficult without getting seen once. So it's no hard task for me doing all that.
Batman wins this. Purely because he's more stealthy and agile.

Yeah but you have to seperate the gameplay from what the story is implying is happening. For example, in the fight with the Hind-D, it is made obvious by the cutscenes that snake takes down the Hind with one or two shots from the Stinger. In the game it actually takes several shots from the Stinger, but that's only because it was nessesary to make the gameplay work.
Also I wouldn't underestimate Snakes agility. Remember when he first meets Revolver Ocelot, where Ocelot shoots at him and he jumps backwards out of the way of the bullet? Also, like I said he fought the Ninja and won.
