Of course with a huge budget like that Blade is going to look like a much better fighter than he actually is. You can show things in movies that it would be a waste of time to represent in comics. Batman, Wolvie, and Captain america are all basically on par when it comes to fighting ability. Blade is several step beneath them. Blade is a dumbass, read the Dracula stories where he first appears with an afro and a headband (not so cool now eh.) In between? The average of the two? I scoff at thee!
Blade's comics got revanmped after the movies. Pre-movies he was a totaly wuss, but now he's completely badass. He's like a black batman, and actually, hes superior to batman in a fistfight because he is stated to know 'every form of martial arts' and is stronger then batman anyone. On that same note, Blade is stronger then wolverine, when was the last time wolverine could leap 20 feet? Or jump off of rooftops without getting hurt? Wolverine heals from it, but he does take damage. As far as Batman goes, he's smarter and has more money and gadgets then blade. I find them to be the same type of character but blade is more of a fighter and batman is the detective.
But yes, the old blade really did suck some serious ass. He just used mahoganey daggers and shit... wow.
