Look at this. Preston is a master with batons, swords, guns and raw power. He is good with every weapon imaginable and is a killing machine. Batman is a rich ninja who can be dark and violent but who could not measure up to the fighting skills of John Preston. Batman could deflect some of the bullets with his vest and some with his spiked arms but is vulnerable to being shot in the head and legs. Batman would be overwhelmed by the middle of the fight.
Amending my argument, if the fight took place in the room during the last scene of "Equilibrium" then Preston wins. If the fight were to take place on a rooftop at night then the edge goes to batman.
I mostly agree with you but I still say on a rooftop at night it is 50-50. Batman excels at rooftop fighting because it is his forte. He fights well at night and can probably lay some good traps like using smoke bombs and his batarangs.
In the Batman with Michael Keaton Batman easily takes on two robbers at night on a rooftop. Batman kidnaps that banker dude in dark knight from the roof.
Batman (michael keaton) drops joker from a tall balcony into a vat of chemicals.
"In the animated movie "Batman Beyond" batman makes easy work of bad guys on the roof. And yes his cape is a weapon because it is an advantage.
None of those amount to much in feats other than being better than goons.
Preston was taking out the world's highest trained soldiers like they were pie..and this is a future where super computers existed that could calculate human nature to such an extent that soldiers could use math to predict with a very high probability, when and where to shoot to avoid getting hit, even in a completely dark room filled with perps that have fully automatics.
So, tell me, Spiderman, how anything Batman has ever done, can even come close to the above mentioned? (You can cite his fight with some of the ninjas for starters...but that amounts to nothing compared to Preston's feats.)
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.
One important fact to remember is that batman is willing to fight dirty and he does in the comic books when he is in a vengeful mood.
Batman once fought against a kryptonite weakened Superman in the comics. So batman is a dangerous adversary.
