Batman vs Iron Fist

Started by Silent Master2 pages

Danny isn't above doing that type of damage either, only he doesn't need to use holds.

From, Iron-Fist #1 of 3 1998

Narration: You respond not with words, but with action. A thunder kick results in a concussion--A heel palm thrust in broken fingers. The damage could have been much worse--fatal---had you desired

Batman.

Yes, his inferior feats make a strong case.

Batman wins.

As his inferior feats suggest.

Batman relies on his own skill. IF has to have a little help to perform well if you know what I mean.

Batman wins. Go check out his capability thread. Danny can't scratch Bruces sack.

IF may be able to match Bruce in skill. But overall Bruce is on another level that Danny cannot reach.

I'm sure you have seen this.

Did you miss the part where this is pre-year one Bruce?

No, that's why I said Batman wins.

Yes, I'm aware that you think him having inferior feats means that he'll win.

Danny can't shine Batmans boots. Batmans a a-lister for a reason. Danny is a c-lister for a reason.

However this version of Bruce will be in trouble.

To clarify

1. Daniel Rand mastered the use of Chi as part of his training... he uses Chi in order to summon the Iron Fist power, so he and Bruce are even in this skill.

2. Go check out 'Batman: Year One'. Bruce gets stabbed by a pimp... in his VERY first appearance in costume, Batman struggles with three punks robbing an apartment. Frank Miller (very realistically) points out that, despite having all the skill and training, it took some painful hands-on experience for Bruce to become Batman.

3. Danny has plenty of will-power and motivation. He saw his father murdered right before his eyes, his mother eaten by wolves- very similar background to Bruce.

In my opinion, they are very equal at this point. I believe that in time, Batman surpasses Iron Fist in pure fighting skill- but as Year One clearly shows, he's not there yet. I don't know who wins, but like hearing the different takes on this very good (and close) fight.

Batman one-shots Iron Fist with a nerve strike:
