Hmm... Batman studies Aikido specifically, as shown in my scan. The best of Shiva's 7 martial artists was a very good grappler. Batman ended up throwing him out of a window. 🙂 You obviously don't read a whole lot of Batman, he can do a lot more than punch the shit out of random thugs. Batman studied for 6 months in both jiu jitsu and judo in a Japanese hermitage... He's competent, to say the least.
"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
Crossovers aren't worth crap. Batman admitted that Cap was faster, yet has better speed feats of his own. Captain Cold has hit Flash, should he be able to?
Ah, the power of good scans...
More speed!
Now he's just being Deathstroke. Copier.
Pressure Points
Solomon Grundy, born on...
Stuns Wonderwoman
The two most deadly strikes in ALL of martial arts. Cap's the best Martial Artist in the world? Ha. Noobs.
Durability
One more... DOesn't flinch from having a board broken over the back of his head. Kevlar kicks ass.
By "Growing in someone's mind", do you mean scaring the living shit out of them? Do werewolves count?
2 fights... Batman beats up a Captain America ripoff. (supersoldier juice and all)
And yes, I DO think Bruce knows more than Azrael...
Cap's good, but nowhere near as godly as you make him seem. He's not the f***ing Karate Kid, and doing judo does not automatically make you demolish any striking opponent. Your views on what wins a fight is much too black and white. A very good striker can take apart a competent grappler, and vice versa. Of relatively equal skill, grappling has a slight advantage, but it's much better to be able to do both. Good thing Batman does. 🙂
5/10 each, and only because Cap is physically better by a hair. Batman outspars him every day of the week.
