Thanks for the info on Killmonger, Scarlet. Jeez, he beat the enhanced Panther when he had no enhancements. He sounds like a bad mother fudger. I would hate to see who messes with him now that he has enhancements.
Yes, Killmonger always has been and always will be one bad mother fudger. Even before his enhancements, he was peak human, so it's not like he was just some guy off the street.
Priest's run, and John's Avengers run with Panther in it showcase T'Challa's great abilities. He beat up Iron Man, while taking over Stark Industries with one phone call. Stark came back at him with an silent running armor meant to give him an immunity to Panther's anti-metal claws. T'Challa uses a water deluge to set off and find the vents in his armor, claws at them forcing a plasma burst into the armor short circuiting it. Stark comes at him again 15 minutes later, he beats him and shuts down Stark's artificial heart. BAD. ASS.

His suit gives him more manueverability?
Panther may have been trained longer, but let's be honest, you don't learn squat when 2 or 5.
Batman would be in better condition. He's out on the streets every single night. As opposed to being bothered with running a country. Bats just lets his executive officers take care of it.
Bruce runs a company, Panther runs a country, two completely different things. Wayne doesn't have to worry about laws, or making sure his ppl can eat and live well. even though he gives to charities, he doens't govern ppl. He jusdges criminals at night in ONE city, much different than running an entire country fulll of all kinds of ppl. There is not one African country where only one language is spoken.
my point is Panther's responsibilities are far greater than bruce's therefore taking more time away from superhero stuff. Panther is rich too, but money is of little consequence. Bruce don't gotta do much, T'challa does.
Namor would be that one. There are a few (very few) people that impress him a bit, Like Tony Stark's tech knowledge, but his respect list a very small one.
And Batman going into space with nothing? Yeah, those writers DO need to be slapped. Hard.

I don't think anyone ever wrote that.
But I think the point of Batman being in better condition stands.
This is the same reason I give batman the fighting edge. Keep that sword sharp if you know what I mean.
Plus, Batman has more experience. Panther may have had tactical training and may even have quite the brain for it but nothing beats hands on experience.
Panther's fighting goes outside the realm of pure martial arts...He is just as efficient at hand to hand as Shang-Chi in the MU. Batman is a good fighter but has never demonstrated half the ability, athleticism, or agility of the panther. Its hard to even explain everything right now...Im surprised there is a thread about this, but I expect it will be good...
Panther has been running Wakanda since he was 13, and had been training since he was able to walk. While Bruce was still crying in Alfred's lap, T'Challa was beating face in lethal combat. He's quelled numerous uprisings--himself fighting on the front lines out in the battlefields. Running Wakanda requires as much physical tact as mental acquity, as it is a warrior kingship, if someone can defeat you in combat, you lose your title as the Black Panther. He has to do as many backflips as John Hancocks to keep his position.
Good to see this thread hasn't died. I'm still waiting on Marvel to showcase a Black Panther vs. Batman event. I've written both companies to try and get one and have had little to NO response back. If you're interested I suggest you do the same!

I haven't read comics since before 2000. Have they had a Marvel vs. DC II? If they ever do, Batman vs. Panther is a probable match up. Considering that in the first one, Batman beat Captain America, the next match up should be against Panther or Daredevil.
P.S.- I know Batman beat the good Captain because of votes. Don't shoot me Cap fans.
