But then again, using Bane's argument, how could someone who accustom himself in the dark beat anyone who is born in dark?
By using LIGHT.
Or, in this case, holy objects.
Perhaps people are forgetting -- most Castlevania games are all but littered with effective subweapons like crosses, silver daggers, axes, and holy water.
Even a layman can theoretically use these to great effect, and Batman, even in the comics, has actually used such objects to fight both extraterrestrial and supernatural opponents.
He has obtainable weapons to hurt these people, in other words.
And such weapons, again, are mentioned as being in abundance for the scenario we're considering, unless I am very much mistaken in my understanding of the language in the first post.
Then too, this thread didn't specify this had to be the Symphony of the Night,
but I seem to remember seeing at least one of the Castlevania's advertised online where the Castle itself also had booby traps that could be used by a clever enough player to defeat some opponents.
If that was indeed SotN (Remigio, thank you for translating the acronym for me) I cannot see Batman NOT being enough of a strategist to accomplish great things.
I'll look up some YouTube videos concerning Symphony of the Night gameplay.
If this were Circle of the Moon, a perfectly good Castlevania Castle to use, I think, I'd give Batman, especially with the map provided, better than 50/50 odds, especially given that non-magic fighters are more or less demon-busting tanks in that game, and that the super-effective throwing crosses of the CotM game
(which are fully 50% MORE effective than the vampire-killer whip, I should add) are significantly more plentiful than Bruce's own batarangs.
I'm really truly not seeing where great impediments to Batman's survival would be coming from yet, not given what Bruce has already faced before, including, as someone mentioned before, Dracula himself.
Show me something from a video of SotN to change my mind, please.
