I thought this little exerpt was very interesting:

"The grim purpose that burned inside him was growing, demanding direction, seeking release. He looked further, to the East. He learned karate from an ascended master in the Paektu-San mountains of Korea--Savate from a convicted killer living as a beach bum on an island off Borneo. Six months in a japanese hermitage taught him the value of Judo and Ju-jitsu. From a chinese woman so old she should have been dead, he learned the secrets of the Tao, that nothing is fixed, everything is fluid, everthing is energy. He mastered a dozen disciplines, experimented with them and fused them into something that was uniquely his own. In Africa he learned how to read the environment for the signs man's passage leaves--how to find and follow a trail to which ordinary men were blind...The ninjas taught him their secrets--how to use the shadows, how to employ psychology to win the battle before it's even fought--the precautions to take when you make yourself a target--and how to use fear." - Shadow of the Bat #0

We see Batman having a flashback of his training with David Cain as he's sparring with Cain's daughter Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) who's one of the best martial artist alive. David Cain taught Batman martial arts, weapon mastery, and fighting tactics. He's known by many as being one of the best assassins in the world also having invented a unique fighting style that involves the reading of body language. Here we see Batman defeat Cassandra in the sparring contest by using a modified deadly nerve strike (that was taught by Cain) to paralyze her. Being that violence is Cassandra's main form of communication (plus she was unable to talk at the time), it was the only way he could "speak" with her since she can read body language which enables her to anticipate attacks before her opponents make them (Detective Comics #734).

Re: Batman fans rejoice!!! A Batman Respect Thread!

Great scans guys. Keep them coming.

Against my better judgement, I have decided to post some Batman feats. You can add your own if you like.

I am mainly doing this for two reasons:

1. It will serve a purpose for an upcoming thread in the 'versus' forum that I'm going to make.
2. I'm tired of the "He's Batman with prep, so he'll win" argument with no explanations of how. So I'm going to show what Batman CAN DO with prep. And some without.

Do not worry, I plan to be objective and actually show some good feats.

So have fun using these in the 'versus' forums. I encourage it.

This feat is freakin' unbelievable. Here, Bruce is hiding in a tree, and a bow is shot at him without him being aware of it. Then, before the bow can reach him, he tosses a batarang at it casually, splits it in half, and splits the bow in half as well. This just goes to show how awesome Batman's reflexes/reaction speeds and accuracy are.

At least Batman has been proven to hold his own in the big leagues where Punisher is well...just a guy with guns essentially 😉

An Apokoliptian beast can take Batman out?:
