leaving dcnu bats aside, what new feats does the upgraded panther have that would lead me to think he's better than bats at h2h? there is no chance anyone will convince me bp was more skilled than bats before the upgrade. love to see some skill feats that prove that. i won't see them though, because i can categorically state they do not exist. i also find it ceaselessly amusing how so many people still say that just because an opponent is enhanced, that they get some form of auto-win over bats. people will start thinking i'm a bats slappy or something, but ffs, bats has hype BECAUSE he has so many feats to back that hype up. and while he's lost some, and had some lesser showings (name someone who hasn't) he's stalemated and beaten damn near everyone in dc in h2h. and his wins over metas? i put those feats under the same umbrella i put logan fighting and beating cl100 guys--if it happens enough that even if i don't like it, i can not in good conscience blame it on PIS. if you think bp trashes batman, well, you're either a pure hater, or just haven't read enough batman stuff.
this would be a VERY close fight that neither would sweep. taking gear away, bp would likely win in the end, but i don't think it would ever be easy and i def think bats could still take some. imo bats has the edge in h2h, while bp is stronger and more durable. maybe the upgraded bp would win, but i'd love to see the feats to back that up, and again, i'm not talking about dcnu bats here. i'll wait on the skill feats that clearly depict bp>>>bats.
