Storm Shadow versus Batman...

Was far more technicaly proficient in terms of moves and the execuction their of and while the choreography in G.I Joe left something to be desired it was still watchable unlike the crap in TDK. Further it not like Baleman met with greater success in melee combat.

So while skill is some what subjective. I ask again how was Baleman a better h2h combatant? He was not as techinaley proficient/trained nor was he more succesfull in regards to fighting h2h.

I referred to the TDK version only because of the armor, Batman is faster and can move easier than in BB. I seriously doubt that his fighting skills somehow deteriorated in the time period between BB and TDK.

I would suspect his fighting ability to have increased between the films. Not that it matters much because as Anthology Bats still has him beat in the skill department. Capable of incorperate multiple styles and forms into a single encounter and proven to be more effect in a straight fight with large groups.

His suit may allow for better speed in TDk then in BB, but he has still not demonstrated the reaction time needed to block bullets after they are fired.

Point being, in BB, yes, he took on ninja after ninja and pwned them all.

The most I recall him squaring off with in a head on fight was 3. Anthology Batman can win a head on fight with six guys all pointing submachine guns at him.

But since I referred to TDK Batman, I guess I can't use BB feats. Even though it stands to reason that anything he did in BB he can do even better in TDK.

What are you talking about, of course you can use. Batman Begins feats. Its the same bloody character.

He did take on the accountants men head on in TDK, and the thugs in the nightclub.

*giggles inside, DDM'll know why*

Didn't he cut the lights and ambush the accountents men. Thugs in the nightclub? Remind me what scene you are refering to?

Why are we discussing Anthology Batman and blocking bullets?

Yeah, six guys who were, from what I remember, absolute shit.

Good.

Yeah. The nightclub scene where he apprehends Eric Roberts.

If you look at the Batman fight scenes, then look at Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes take down random goons, and fight each other, it's clear they're out of Batman's league in the speed/skill department.

And dogs bit through Batman's armor in TDK, I doubt SS will have trouble getting through it.

The dog bit through the arm.

Compared with how he fought, I don't think there's any debate, SS has him beat.

And if dog teeth can get through the arm, a sword can.

Also, Duke totally had the drop on SS, if the Baroness hadn't intervened, Duke would have gunned him down.

Well. Because we have gotten off on a discusion of Anthology Batman vs Baleman. So its seems pertinent to that conversation that Anthology Batman blocks bullets. Meaning he is way faster then Baleman in terms of reaction time.

No worse then the gun toting goons, that Baleman has to sneak around to take out.
