John Preston vs. Batman

John Preston (Equilibrium) vs. Baleman

1) Preston has his handguns, Baleman has his batsuit and standard equipment.

2) Just swords.

They fight in the Vatican at night.

Batman dies /end

1. Unless Baleman tranqs Preston from the shadows (are tranqs standard equipment?) Batman is going down.
Batman couldn't take Harvey Dent's bullet. And Batman ain't dodging Preston's shots.

2. You mean Wayne just has a sword as well like in Batman Begins?
Or Batman vs Preston with swords?

Batman would die in either scenario, so it hardly matters.

True.

What if I add Ra's or Bane to the second scenario?

I made the fight at night so maybe Bats can utilize his stealth skills.

Stealth skills don't matter unless Batman has tranqs.

Though Batman showed he can sneak and hide in plain site of his opponents.
Batman also broke a brick wall with a kick.

Well, he did use tranqs in the third film, so why not?

Then Batman wins both fights if he has tranqs.

Batman has no training in fencing - he's going down on #2.

Iirc, his suit isn't bullet-proof, is it? The only time we see him taking care of a Batman event - induced wound is in Dark Knight, when he takes care of those dog bites and scratches. Also, it doesn't really matter if he hides, as Preston can take care of whole roomfuls of people with the lights off. If Batman DOES have bullet-proof help, then he might survive an initial bullet spray - but the cleric sweeps the building, if only to look for illicit emotional articles. It makes sense to me that he would check if his prey were dead.

Batman goes down in both scenarios.

Preston rapes.

Scenario 1 is target practice for Preston

Scenario 2...Batman still has no chance. Even with Ra's.

Preston wins both.

Batman wins 1.

Preston wins 2.

"Where are you?"
"He-"(BAM!)

Preston wins

I guess i made an unintentional spite thread.

Preston wins

No Batman proved he was a master of hiding in the shadows.

In fight one he uses the museums shadows to hide whilst Preston confidently walks through it.
Batman launches a tranq into his body and Round 1 is over.

Batman loses Round 2 though no probs.

But he wins Round 1. Psychtron allowed traqs as basic equip.

And Preston proved that he can kill you without even seeing you.

The tranq is an issue. But the goons got tranq'd and were able to pull it out and look at it before they got woozy and fell over iirc. Once it hits Preston he'd fire in that direction instantly and most likely kill the Bat before falling asleep. This guy's reflexes are ridiculously fast. Who has a damn gun sword fight anyway?

Is the Tranq really an issue though? I mean, it's not as if Preston has trouble taking on bad guys who are shooting at him.

I'm no geometrist, but don't bullets move faster than a tranquilizer dart?
