3 on 1. Dark Knight Batman against three Raptors. Takes place in old abandoned warehouse with steel shipping containers at night. Batman has his usual on body gadgets and nothing special like his timer bombs and batmobile. Raptors have batman's scent, but Batman has sonar vision.

Okay... and the raptors still have Height...
I kid.
At most, they're 6' on their tip-toes, craning upwards. Because of their posture, much of their height is leaning forwards anyways, increasing their reach.
Weight..
They seemed solid, but I'm uncertain of how heavy they were. A little girl kicked one and they went flying in The Lost World.
Strength..
Much of their 'strength' is in their ridiculous bite and hind legs. Their forearms are negligible in combat.
Numbers...
Which has never been a definite attribute to victory except with other variables.
Claws.. teeth..
By this kind of reasoning, the raptors lack opposable thumbs, imagination, higher reasoning, a belt, and a cape.
speed..
They have pouncing and flat run speed advantage. However, in artificial environments they are outmaneuvered by 'slower' human beings. See JP1-3. People less awesome than Batman got away from raptors in indoor environments.
and hunting advantages.
See above. Their hunting advantages seem to be most beneficial outside. Inside, they are wary, and can be fooled or mislead. We have raptors trapped behind two-way doors, running into reflections in kitchens, being dropkicked by small girls, and so on. While they are still deadly, they aren't so deadly that victory is unattainable. Basically, Batman loses this if he fights them in one of the shipping containers.

Can't Batman just use his grappling hook to hang onto a ceiling and just shoot batarangs at the Raptors with no chance of them reaching his elevated position?
This is Batman's fight to lose.
People like to forget that the raptors, in all movies, failed to kill certain human beings (Despite having far greater numbers) that eluded them and in some cases killed them. All of whom were not nearly as formidable physically or mentally than Batman.
A ****ing little girl killed one with her gymnastic skills for Christ's sake.

We aren't using the real three foot Vraptor, we're using Michael Crichton's ridiculously tall Vraptors. Other than that this is a good analysis.
When looking up their normal height, I decided to use the picture for my own amusement. But their actual height is around 6' IIRC. I was a huge fan of the original movie when it came out.

Please.. If PIS or CIS doesn't count in other parts of this forum it doesn't count here. Thnk about what you just said.. he failed to kill CETAIN humans... ummm I wonder why? maybe because they were key characters in the movie so of course they weren't going to die. It's like claiming T-Rex and the Raptors coudln't kill the little girl and guy in the first one and then coming to the conclusion that they were terrible hunters and killers because they couldn't kill either. Please, no animal or human was going to kill either of them that movie and it should've be hled against them. They couldn't kill a girl but can kill guys 2 or 3 times their since... odd..or just PIS and movies.

The point is, you have to use movie evidence to weigh the decision coupled with knowledge of their capabilities. You can't just ignore the multitude of times in similar environments they are outmaneuvered or evaded by people inferior in every way to a gadget-toting Batman, just because you think it falls under PIS.
