Shredder would assuming no prep either way.
I used to have the TPB of the original Eastman & Laird TMNT run when I was in high school (my Dad tossed it when he kicked me out. Long story). The Turtles were pretty hardcore in those times. Too bad that most people only remember the 80s cartoon adaptation which was nothing like the comics and catered to selling toys to kids. The original comic portrayal was pretty dark. The turtles were each anthropomorphic versions of the Frank Miller' Daredevil with Splinter being Stick. Great books.

Batman is a talented fighter. Beyond human really. But the turtles have beyond human agility, speed, strength and durability. They do Batman top-feats quite often. They take down armies of ninjas each one on their own. Supervillains is not exactly uncommon either, and one of them didn't win a galactic deathmatch tournament with sheer luck.
