I'd put my money on Silver Samurai, personally. His abilities plus ruthlessness give him a slight edge over Nightwing. All the tumbles and cartwheels in the world won't save him from Silver Sam's teleportation abilities, and last time I checked Dick Grayson didn't posess precognition, so he's a tachyon charged katana slash away from a decapitation he possibly couldn't see coming if Sam ported and slashed simultaneously.
Nightwing wins on name recognition though.

So um...how fast can he teleport? Is it Nightcrawler type, or from place A to place B type?
I don't think he could channel it into bullets, I think he needs direct contact with what he's charging up. As to the nature of what he empowers, I'm not sure it could be used that well defensively. Having one's armor double as a disintigrator field would be a hinderance, one would be unable to easily interract with the environment. But, as a lst ditch effect, powering his armor up and diving at somebody could be cool. He may have a limit as to how much mass he can charge, the armor may simply be too much to power up.

Yup.
I'm curious to see what this new writer does with Wolverine, his healing factor has been down graded and he seems to be relying on fighting skills more and the story doesnt seem to be to bad. Might be a good run... been along time since Wolverine had one of those.
Wierd issue though. Wolverine hasn't sleep or eaten in so long that he passes out... then eats part of his arm. He must have been real under the weather even during his fight with SS but still it was a pretty good fight.

Meh. I'm not hugely fond of the new writer. He gets a point for making Wolvie actually use some fighting abilities, but he loses all points for chopping SS's arm off. I'll probably get the issue in a couple of days so i'll have a better opinion then.But this better not be the end of SS!
I doubt it... he has Hydra/Hand connections I'm sure he'll get a new hand sooner or later but it might be robotic.
On the SS topic, didn't Elektra kill him in her MK series? Anyone know when he was revived?
He was never shown to have been revived, he just started showing up again. Bendis can't keep track of his own shitty continuity. An Ebony Samurai turned up as a Silver Samurai replacement in Alpha Flight v3 when they fought Big Hero 6. If that was a new character or a new alias for Harada is unknown. What powers he has were also unknown, as the Alpha Flight series never went anywhere, so it was never further expounded upon.
I am kind of pissed that Way had Wolverine stump SS, but it was a good fight, more or less. It showed Samurai had some nice skills, he had his sword through Wolverine's chest and was kind of winning for a bit.
As for his Hydra connections, when Madame Hydra's your sugar momma, yeah he'll be back with a cyborg arm soon.
It is pretty neat seeing Wolverine rely on fighting skills again. I hope Way curbs the trend of making Wolverine an amoral killer, when I first encountered the character, reading old issues from the 70s, he, to my knowledge, was never really all that bloodthirsty.

And Nightwing is not more agile then DD at best he is equal.
He IS more agile...probably the best in DCU. Yes, Daredevil is agile, but he is also more concetrated on martial arts...Nightwing comes from family of acrobats, his whole life revolved around it. He was on circus shows as ten year old, when it comes to agility there are not many that surpass Nightwing. Daredevil is not one of them...
