Clay face has pounded on Batman on more than one occasion and Bruce is still kicking yet he thinks the Lizard can one shot him which = fail. Batman wins a majority because he's a normal guy 😐
Skills, Abilities, and Resources
Unlike many superheroes, Batman has "NO SUPERPOWERS" <---- NONE and instead relies on "his own scientific knowledge, detective skills, and athletic prowess."
Do what you like and think what you want, Batman is a normal guy with no powers, I know that you know what CIS.This is what you're using in your argument. Batman is famous for being written more powerfully than he is which is CIS, if you have a hard time understanding this perhaps you should check up on that problem it could become a serious one as you begin to grow older.

Wolverine has his healing factor and adamantium skeleton, but try to explain how his grey matter isnt jellow after taking just one shot from a class 100 guy. Sure it'll heal, but not instantly. He should be KO'd everytime he takes a shot like that for at least a moment or so.It was just a comparison and I dont want to derail the thread, but I wanted to clear up my stance. Carry on.
Wolverine has a healing factor, an indestructible skeleton, superhuman strength.... Batman can not lay claim to any of these thing. He's a flesh and blood hero, and there is nothing super about him whatsoever.
"No PIS" Rule
PIS = Plot Induced Stupidity
At times, for the sake of the plot, characters that are immensely more powerful than their opponent will "job" to carry on the plot of the story, even though the characters powers and history would clearly show that they are more than capable of destroying their opponent. For this reason we have a No PIS Rule. This rule prohibits the use of such instances of PIS from being used as evidence in debates.
No Mentioning Events of PIS
Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics. Examples of PIS include Flash stories lasting longer than three panels, or Toy Man as a threat to Superman.
Character Induced Stupidity, or CIS, on the other hand, refers to any natural mental limitations that characters impose upon themselves and reduce their ability to use their own skills and powers effectively. Unlike PIS, CIS does not occur because the plot requires it, but because the character is genuinely that dumb. Examples of the CIS-afflicted include characters such as Rhino or Jar Jar Binks. Events of CIS are not exempt from debates.
Fanboy! Biased! Influenced!
So you're debating over who is stronger, The Flesh or The Incomprehensible Bulk. Each has feats that could match each other in strength; maybe they've leveled a building or two with a single punch, and so on. You have perfect proof that The Flesh could obviously beat The Bulk in a fist fight.
However, the person you are debating with is known to the forum as IncomBulkFan87. Every time he posts, you find that he completely ignores your proof of the Flesh's victory and asserts that the Bulk is invincible or could easily beat anyone in a fist fight.
At this point, it may be very tempting to shout to him the following:
"You're a fanboy!"
"You're biased against The Flesh!"
"You're influenced by Miracle Comics against Lightpony Comics!"
You consider them to be completely pointless to debate with because of their obvious enjoyment of The Incomprehensible Bulk from Miracle Comics.
