The major upgrades between the two models were more in the outer flesh and the shock resistance in the combat chassis with some other minor improvements. Will a stun gun work against them, no but hit them with something over a 220volt line and that will disrupt their systems, not drop him but mess with his CPU. Now if you hit him with a main line then it will probably fry his CPU or wiring.Batman is far better fighter then anything in Terminators time, most of the humans during that time period are refuges and do not have access to the technology, resources and skills that Batman possesses. Plus with the T-800 not being alive Batman doesn’t have to hold back, the skin is no problem and easily removed and for someone that is so skilled in nerve strikes finding the joints of the T-800 is no problem.
I don’t know why every one keeps thinking he will run away and cowards from him, Batman fights advanced robots like this, and hell he builds them for Pete sake. He fights the likes of Brainaic (sp?) and most of his villains have as much or more strength, faster speed and deadlier weapons. These Terminators are effective killing machines because they are machines and they are produces in mass numbers, they don’t get tired, eat or need to sleep and can think as one but alone they aare not that powerful.
A shotgun blast to the face may not do diddly squat to metal, but it sure as hell did shit-all to a terminator.
Also, how often does Batman carry high caliber armor piercing firearms in his utility belt? Oh...that's right.
Also, we NEVER see a T-100 in the films. Never. Even T-600's are only referred to in brief. I believe that the T-500 model was the first 'cyborg' terminator.
Also, Skynet isn't dumb, it made it's terminators for combat, it's systems and CPU are protected in the endoskeleton, and are protected against power surges for that very reason.
Batman being a good fighter means shit all to someone who doesn't feel pain and can't really break a bone. The Skin is HARDLY easily removed, it acts mostly like real skin. You could peel your skin off much the same way as Arnie did in the film, if you could stomach it. The Terminator's skin isn't coming off any easier than any other person Batman fights.
Also, finding a joint may be simple for batman, but what exactly is he gonna do when he finds one? Apply a submission move to a being who can't feel pain and will simply rip Batman's head off for his trouble? Errmmm..okay.
Besides, Batman is just LUCKY that this isn't a T-850. The T-850 was upgraded beyond what you claim as 'minor chassis modifications.' It was vastly stronger and faster, able to keep up with a T-freaking-X in hand to hand combat for a short period. It also had improved armor against the resistance's increasing supply of plasma weapons, and carried two hydrogen fuel cells instead of one.
