He fights in ways designed not to kill, a huge restraint on his part. You could say he fights at far less than his maximum efficiency/potential because he chooses to do so. She will use every opportunity to do sure-kill maneuvers such as the leopard blow given the chance.
Well said. Batman's fighting style is more tailored towards defense than anything else. I agree, Lady Shiva does have the potential to defeat Captain America.

Cap is NOT the strongest/best HUMAN MA.
Karate Kid is better. Karate Kid doesn't even have SSS nor a shield, yet he can hang with Kryptonians and Daxamites in H2H combat.
Captain America and Shiva imo are comparable, shiva is not going to "out-skill" cap. Maybe land a couple of nice moves but cap will be landing nice ones himself. The hits that he lands is gonna hurt a helluva alot more than Shiva's.
The skill is similar enough that imo is not even a factor here. But shiva will eventually tire, and sustain injuries that Cap could shrug off. No one will be shit stomping anyone here, it would be a grand fight but with Cap being the one left standing.
