yeah Dick could hit him with his pole.....not that pole...the one he fights with.

But you forget, Gambit is one of the most nimble/agile/quick thinking and acting characters in Marvel (Most specificially the X-men). He had no professional training, but being a thief all his life taught him an incredibly effecient fighting style. With his staff and his cards at his disposal (along with every other piece of debris or inorganic substance for that matter), Gambit will eventually take this fight.
ehh... Gambit does have a slight advantage. The two are pretty close, but Gambit has two things up on Dick.
1. Gambit just has to touch NW's suit. And at a distance, he has a great chance. He's fast, his whole power bases itself on throwing stuff so... and his projectiles explode, making it pretty hard to dodge for too long.
2. Gambit's gone up against some pretty bad mamajamas. He saw Apoc rise, he was around in Mr. Sinister's day, and Pheonix is a bad bi... bi... biter?? lol
And NW is certainly not Batman 2. He may be very good, but he doesn't hold a candle to Big Bruce.
