A lot of those instances are examples of CIS, rather than PIS, but I digress...
The problem I'm seeing here is that you're attaching human limitations on Batman when doing so is completely fallacious. Like I stated before, there's a suspension of disbelief when reading comic books. Batman is only a "human" in name only. You're letting your own connotations dictate what should be deemed PIS rather than objectively looking at a character's history as a whole in order to determine what's acceptable. We have to accept the fact that he can dodge bullets and take down superpowered foes because he does so on a consistent basis.
What Batman does as a "human" is no more unbelievable than solar radiation giving an alien the strength to move planets.

Actually that changes nothing. Hes already beaten up Batman once already in fact technically hes actually beaten up Batman three times in all. Take a look at their second encounter (which you ignored). DS could have finished off Batman twice. Batman only wins because he jumps DS and DS is holding back. Batman also had to use the gun as an extra weapon because clearly his fists weren't enough to keep him down.
I chose not include that encounter, considering it was a non-fight (and Batman ended up winning, anyway).
Regardless, you ended up proving my point for me, albeit in a backhanded manner. That example you used where Batman's fists "weren't enough to keep him down" is 13 years old. As I said before, he's accumulated a multitude of impressive feats that place him above that showing, primarily in terms of physical stats.
The more recent encounters with Deathstroke are examples of such. In one, he one-shot KO's Deathstroke with a kick, and in the other, as we've discussed, is the showing in Infinite Crisis. And although Nightwing and Robin were involved in the scuffle, as far as Batman's fists clearly not being enough to down Deathstroke, that wasn't the case at all. As far as I recall, Batman punched Deathstroke, then Robin kicked him from behind, and finally Batman put him to sleep with a final punch.

The fact that had to take down Alex as soon as possible doesn't change anything because their history indicates that DS is a superior opponent. So it wasn't just the time factor but it was also because DS is better than Batman.
Are you kidding me? It changes EVERYTHING. First of all, it shows that you didn't understand the context behind the fight. Second of all, getting 3-shot KO'd in the span of a page is not an indication of anything.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, using this showing, especially when taken in context, as proof of Deathstroke being superior to Batman is utterly ridiculous. It's the equivalent of using the showing from the same comic of Superman and E2 Superman ganging up on Bizarro to prove his superiority over Superman.
If you want to maintain the notion of Deathstroke being superior to Batman, then that's fine, just don't use this encounter as an example of that, as it just doesn't back up that sentiment.
