Ninjas > Thugs any day.
Batman isn't faster. Period.
First of all: How do you know? Has he encountered Bane, Prometheus or Batman 1M?
Secondly: It was not the only time Batman has disarmed people in haste. They were thugs, yes, but he has disarmed elite soldiers without them reacting as well.
Thirdly: If both are able to do things without the advesary having a chance to react, how exactly did you come to the conclusion that she is faster?
Fourthly: Did I say Batman was faster?

And Batman has never done impressive things like that? I admit that Elektra is awesome, but Batman in this thread does NOT get the respect he deserve.
Take a look at some of these. They are only a few of the many speed/reaction feets of the Batman:

I have more speed/reaction scans. You want them all? Just because Elektra does something impressive, does not mean Batman can not do it. I am taking neither side in this debate, since I do not know Elektra well enough, but I know that Batman is not getting what he deserves. Which is:
More than many in this thread gives him.
