I've read most this thread. I do take in consideration that Blade is stronger, faster, and more durable. But people use the words superhuman as if it means the same thing as if we're all talking about the likes of superman or even Spider-Man for that matter. My point is that Blade physical advangtes are not far and beyone what Batman has already faced in his life time. I read a great deal of Batman (and still do), and man I have to say that there are not many characters who are truly peak human in the same sense as Bruce. Over the the years alot of characters have had themselfs stated as being peak human. But not many of them can nor have done what Bruce has. One of Batman's greatest traits is his force of will. "Batman R.I.P", "Final Crisis", and "The Return Of Bruce Wayne" just to name a few, are three stories that show just how strong Batman's will is and how tatical he can be. Not many minds can walk away from what he has. To think that Batman isn't more tatical or resourceful than Blade is beyone me. This man sigle handily took down around 30 Man-Bat comandos in "Batman And Son" (all 30 of them are stronger, faster, more durable, and they can fly). Batman is maybe the most dangerous human being in DC bar none.

Not to the Joker
Make no mistake, Joker has felt fear in his heart, instilled by Batman. And even though Joker may think that the rules and boundaries people set upon world are a big joke. I think he knows very well that Batman is no joking matter. As he told Simon Hurt in R.I.P, "he has no idea what he is dealing with. Every time he tries to think out side of the box, Batman build another around him". You see, Joker is dangerous because he's so unpredictable. Batman more dangerous because of what he's capable of.

Blade hands down. Bruce isn't messing with him in h2h. Especially with Blade's showins over the last five years that back up his Super Human stats.Blade to all 3. It won't be easy but I see him pulling it out unless Bruce has some back up.
And anyone giving Bruce the win in the sword fight is high.
Bruce knows how to fight with a sword, man. Why would someone be high for their opinion about that? Not trying to knock your opinion. But Blade isn't that superhuman that such a human like Batman has no chance.

Fair enough its my opinion sure.
A few weeks ago I went through some of my past blade issues and he is pretty up there Superhuman wise.
he is able to keep up with Spider-Man and completely outclasses a guy like the Punisher. And Pun gave Bats a run for his money back in the day.
In most of his comic showings Blades is unmatched in sword combat. The only opponent I have seen get the better of him was that ancient Vampire in that Black Panther issue. And it was only for a second, cause Blade ran him through in the next instant.
Ra's Al Ghul is someone who can give Bruce a taxing sword fight. And in my opinion Blade works Ra's all day.
In terms of h2h Blade is someone who has been shown to hang with Spider-Man and Wolverine. He possesses superhuman strength, stamina, speed, agility, heightened senses, and a rapid healing factor that attacks any alien substances (chemicals/viruses) in his body and eliminates any chance of him being rendered helpless or maimed from the inside. So in that regard its better than Wolvies cause he is not affected by vamprism. Than there is the whole immunity to daylight and other vampire weaknesses.
Blade is a master martial artist, swordsman, marksman and street-fighter. Now Batman may have an edge in the skill area but its not a huge edge, and in my opinion blade's stats give him the win. He isn't as dumb as the people Bats usually fights that are good in h2h

I hear you, man. But the keeping up with Spider-Man part, not so sure how much weight that has. You see, Steve Rogers can keep up with Paker as well. So I can't sit here and say Bruce couldn't neither. Meaning Blade is not out of Batman's reach. And I do not know what comic you are referring to in your statement that "Punisher gave Batman a run for his money". Is it even canon? In my opinion, Bruce would thrash Punisher. But all in all, I understand that Blade is physically superior to Bruce and maybe the better sword fighter. But not the better warrior over all. To me, it's a compliment that Bruce is just human with no powers. Because of all that he has shown in his career. Blade maybe up against a human whose will and determination may very well surpass his own. Superhuman or not. That never stop Batman from taking down someone. Sure Slade has beaten him. But not without walking away feeling the hurt Bruce gave him. Even Slade stated that had it not been for his enhancements, he wouldn't want to go a round with Batman. Coming from him, that says a lot.

the Punisher fight technically isn't Canon. But I thought it was pretty accurate. Punisher is no lightweight and put up a good fight to the end. I don't see Bats destroying him.
You know that can't count for anything because it didn't really happen. But it's your opinion and that's cool. And not to get off topic but Batman has the advantage in every category when compared to Frank, from tactical assessment to physical prowess.
But let's get back on topic. If you don't mind. Please tell me who are these dumb People with fighting skills that Batman usually fights. Not that you need to say. Because I know the Batman universe very well. And I can tell you that almost no one in Batman's rouges gallery should ever have the word dumb associated with them. Fighting skills or not, they are highly intelligent. Sure there are exceptions. But they are few in numbers and not the majority.
