Yeah thats kinda my point. I could be wrong but Batman may have better feats than Deathstroke. What happened when they fought? Deathstroke kicked his arse (Batman put up a good fight though).
No common sense is being applied to the debate. Shang wins the slight majority.

Yes but Batman also knows Kung Fu.
I don't see a clear advantage for Shang.
Just my opinion.
He doesnt know Kung Fu as well as Shang and Shang doesn't just know Kung Fu. I see Shang as being enhanced as well as skilled and therefore Shang wins.
Sure no problem (no sarcasm by the way).

Batman is said to be a master of nearly every martial art on earth.
It's stated and shown.
So how can you say that Shang is better (though he might be)?
I mean is there any proof?
The advantage Shang has is his chi stuff but Bats has done that on occasions and has hurt metas in hth.
The thing is that I believe many people give Shang the win because that's what he does. He is only a martial artist.
On other hand they think that Bats is somewhat a jack-of-all-trades so he has to lose to someone that excels at Kung-Fu.
Thing is Bats excels at MA and a ton other things.
That doesn't make Shang a better fighter at all, but a less versatile superhero.
IMO of course.

Hes smashed a Doombot with his bare hands. Punisher had to use armour pierecing shells from a heavy duty mounted machine gun to kill one.
Hes has nedgated one of Hirioms punches. Hiriom is a character like Iron Fist who can mystically channel chi. His chi punch has been shown to be stronger than Iron Fist's and he sent Luke Cage flying 100's of ft away with a punch.
Hes also fought Paladin who Captain America fought in the same circumstances and did better than him due to some breathing techniqe. Both Brubaker and Busiek think Cap is more formidable than Batman. If Shang can better than Cap in some aspects hes gonna be better than Batman.
Hes also done this..

Batman can't do that. It doesn't make him less versatile becuas like I said he knows other styles as well. I dont know about the other styles but hes most likely better than Bats at Kung Fu.

Quite impressive but why would Batman only use Kung-Fu?
Shang knows more styles than just Kung Fu but certainly not as many as bats.
Plus Bats has impressive feats also as mentioned with most notable the Grundy example and the knowledge of a technique that can KO opponents with a touch (not even a punch)

Knowing more martial arts styles does make one a better fighter, because you become a more flexible fighter. I mean just take a look at MMA it is not called mixed martial arts for nothing. Who has the more favorable odds a master of one style or a master of many?
MMA master: "lets see now, wut style am i gonna use to block this one? ..."
*PUNCH*
too late 😄

I didn't think I needed to differentiate the difference, but it appears I must.
IN COMICS knowing more styles does not mean you're the better fighter, which is why we use feats.
Knowing more style in mma doesn't make you the better fighter either, but that is irrelevant here.
off course comics and real world do not mix however

Ok it is because of the martial arts that these characters are able to do their feats because if they did not know any martial arts then there would not be any feats for us to go by.
In comics knowing more styles does not mean you're the better fighter this could not be more true however there is always a reason why this person beats that other person not matter how rediculus it might be.
