Black Panther one shotted Karnak. He fought Killmonger, a 10 tonner who has displayed 10 ton strength, for 13 hours straight, but his hand to hand isn't on par with Batman??? Black Panther is straight up super human and I am sure Batman himself would have no problem saying he is out of his league.
batman would NEVER say that BP was out of his league. he never believes anyone is out of his league. you def seem to have a firm belief that batman loses, and i suspect nothing i say can change your mind. the feats you posted aren't really much though, or rather, they are nothing that batman hasn't similarly accomplished or flat out bettered many, many times over. BP will never win a feat war with bats. you say he fought 13hrs straight, bats fought 28hrs straight. you show BP managing to....tackle spidey (something daredevil has done several times...) i show bats ko'ing slade, beating azrael, ko'oing bane, etc..... you show strength feats, i show batman pushing railroad cars, effortlessly kicking down trees, taking out massive robots, etc....
the thread asks who wins no gear. every fight would be close. i give bats the skill edge, panther the speed edge and panther the endurance edge. i give bats the willpower edge, which imo is pretty significant. intelligence is a wash, tactics is a wash or slightest edge to bats imo. ultimately, i say split, or bats 6/10 in straight h2h. with standard gear (this isn't a prep battle, just standard gear afaik) BP's suit is better then bats' but bats has tons of pis-style gadgets hanging around and probably better overall damaging attacks (grenades, sonics, lasers, etc...). BP has better defenses though. he also has the clincher imo and that is the anti-metal claws that would shred the batsuit. as a result i'd give the edge to BP in gear, maybe 6-7/10.
anyway, in researching bats for a tourney once, i came across this capability thread. it's one of the best, most organized respect threads i've ever seen. bats is NOT all hype and popularity. that kind of thinking leads to faulty conclusions and bias. i'll post the link for all to see and will state with absolute certainty that any feat BP has accomplished, bats has one that is comparable or exceeds it. some of them may appear to be PIS, except, he has dozens and dozens of pis-style feats. if they happen all the time, i no longer view them as pis. others of course may, and that is their prerogative.
