Besides whether he is a genius or not, it is irrelevant to this fight. Nightcrawler is stronger, faster, more agile, and has the ability to teleport.
yes because his pointy ears have kept him alive for so long...
Brainpower nor Tactics can equal superior Reflexes
how? your reflexes are no good if your opponent knows where the blow is coming from...
If Nightcrawler attacks in a completley irratic manner, there is nothing for Batman to stratigize against. Batman gets his ass kicked by big, clumsy, Bain. His reaction time nor his "tactics" are sufficient to stop an onslaught of lightspeed attacks from Nightcrawler.
he won't attack in an erratic manner, there's a pattern to everything... just have to spot it...
batman has beaten bain on many occasions also. once batman knows where nightcrawler will attack from, fight is over...
