Skillwise, I'd say they're dead even or perhaps a (very) slight edge to Shiva.
However, Bruce's body is superior, physically speaking.
Superior enough to close whatever gap exists, if there is one, and even clinch the win for him - but only for a tiny majority.
With gadgets, this is much more clearly in Bruce's favor.

Batman wins 8/10. It's pretty clear in the comics that Shiva is a better pure martial artist. But Bruce has it all over her in strength- in fact, it's not even close. One good punch would rock her... a second would put her in dream land. She would get her licks in first, but the Bat takes the majority.
PS- while it IS true that Shiva fights to kill and Bruce doesn't- this really isn't a disadvantage for him. Everyone he fights is trying to kill him- so he 's quite use to such tactics, and when it comes to inflicting nonlethal pain on someones ass, Batman is the master. He wins.

Meh, Batman may have the advantage in strength, although Shiva is plenty strong enough to hurt him. Shiva may have the advantage in combat speed and agility, as well as or because of her ability to read movements. Either is fully capable of killing the other.
I don't think they've ever really fought without some sort of interference. Whoever takes the majority, if anyone does, it would be a tiny majority.
With his gadgets Batman would take a healthy majority.
Shiva owns Batman 8/10. She's faster, more agile, a better fighter, more skilled, and she can read his movements like Cassandra. and don't use that Jason Todd example that took place a long time before she was badass as she is now or the one in S/B where she was mindcontrolled. She's plain better than he is.
Lady Shiva lost to him twice. once cuz of "boypussy" jason todd and the other time she lost to him cuz (excuse) she was mindcontrolled. like that's an excuse. Batman beats her again and this time decisively so she can shut that big mouth of hers. i hate shiva.
am i the only one who finds shiva ridiculously overpowered and overrated. leopard blow my ass.

what's the deal with cassandra?
