This John Preston?
This John Preston?
Look at this. Preston is a master with batons, swords, guns and raw power. He is good with every weapon imaginable and is a killing machine. Batman is a rich ninja who can be dark and violent but who could not measure up to the fighting skills of John Preston. Batman could deflect some of the bullets with his vest and some with his spiked arms but is vulnerable to being shot in the head and legs. Batman would be overwhelmed by the middle of the fight.

Amending my argument, if the fight took place in the room during the last scene of "Equilibrium" then Preston wins. If the fight were to take place on a rooftop at night then the edge goes to batman.
Nah. Not even close.
Let me know what Batman took down an entire assault rifled infantry with only pistols pistols.
On top of that, let me know when he can, single handedly, take out 8 katana wielding masters with NO sword to start with.
No matter the venue, no matter the weapons Preston has, Preston wins every time.
Preston may be a close match for Violet. We should do that one. 😐

What exactly is so special about fighting on rooftops? When did it become Batman's "forte?"Only advantage Batman has over Preston on a rooftop is possibly avoiding death a bit longer due to gliding away.
In the Batman with Michael Keaton Batman easily takes on two robbers at night on a rooftop. Batman kidnaps that banker dude in dark knight from the roof.
Batman (michael keaton) drops joker from a tall balcony into a vat of chemicals.
"In the animated movie "Batman Beyond" batman makes easy work of bad guys on the roof. And yes his cape is a weapon because it is an advantage.

None of those amount to much in feats other than being better than goons.
Preston was taking out the world's highest trained soldiers like they were pie..and this is a future where super computers existed that could calculate human nature to such an extent that soldiers could use math to predict with a very high probability, when and where to shoot to avoid getting hit, even in a completely dark room filled with perps that have fully automatics.
So, tell me, Spiderman, how anything Batman has ever done, can even come close to the above mentioned? (You can cite his fight with some of the ninjas for starters...but that amounts to nothing compared to Preston's feats.)

One important fact to remember is that batman is willing to fight dirty and he does in the comic books when he is in a vengeful mood.
Batman once fought against a kryptonite weakened Superman in the comics. So batman is a dangerous adversary.
1) This is the Movie Vs. Forum
2) Nothing you've said amounts to Batman being able to beat a guy who's far deadlier than him.

Movie versus thread.
Try again. 😐
Edit - Wait, I just read Robtard's post...I'm late to the show.
