This isn't even close. Maybe if you took Preston's guns away. Unlike a certain Dark Knight, Preston doesn't need a sophisticated sonar system to see in the dark.

Nolan's Batman did nothing impressive H2H wise. He beat a bunch of "Ninjas" who were only ninja in name, nothing else. What other impressive H2H has he shown? Random thugs who are scared shitless and not thinking clearly?
Batman was trained by master martial artists. the fighting technique shown in TDK hints towards Batmans true ability. Preston is nothing without his pussy ass guns. Yes, he may have his guncatta movements memorized perfectly but without guns his guncatta isn't going to help him with the unexpected. Batman, however, is always prepared for the unexpected.

All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
I don't see how Batman could take him when he got beat down by two rottweilers and a guy with a crowbar and Preston is over here dodging bullets. Just don't see any plausible way he could win.

Just from that video, I'd say Preston wins. Batman's disadvantage is that he is relatively grounded in reality, and thus is limited to how he would be in the real world. Equilibrium looks like a hyper-realistic science fiction film, and while that might make it campy and ridiculous as hell, it gives Preston a definitive advantage.

Unless they're generations old, that doesn't matter. The fat kid enrolling in the dojo thats been teaching it's super techniques for generations doesn't chanGe the fact that he's still a fat loser, much like none of the "masters" in the Nolan universe ever showed any actual skill doing anything. Thus, Batman's CQC feats are inferior to Prestons. Preston knocks his face off.
I mean, hell. Preston dodges bullets with ease and slices a man;s face off faster than the human eye can react. Batman gets floored by two dogs. Twice. *shrug*
Unlike the fat kid, Bruce Wayne did Change. The order has influence over the entire world. I really don't understand what you are questioning. Before Bruce Wayne was trained by the order he was nothing more than a pissed off rich boy. Afterwards he became an unstoppable force. Everything that Batman is, he owes to the League of Shadows. That should highlight just how effective their teachings are.
Why is it such a surprise that Batman would be vulnerable to two trained attack dogs when taken by surprise? I really don't see how that makes him any less of a threat.
John Preston can dodge bullets because of his skill in Guncatta. It isn't as though he is quick enough to get out of the way of a bullet. He simply anticipates. So, i really don't see how that benefits him when he is fighting an enemy that doesn't use guns. It never appeared, as though he was moving all that fast at all.
