The Thing versus Batman
Specifically, John Carpenter's The Thing against Batman. Trapped inside of Arkhan's Asylum, Batman must defeat the creature who is slowly but surely using the inmates as biomass fodder. We assume Batman does not know who is infected and is not aware of the nature of his enemy. Everyone is sealed inside of the Asylum for the sake of keeping it contained. Batman's arsenal includes his standard utility belt gear, and anything he can ad hoc on site.
batman is one of the smartest and most perceptive characters in the DC universe. he has a range of weapons and gadgets at his disposal and those inmates would be no match for his martial arts skills. he also has alfred to do samples and crap and with his detective skills he could easily find all the weaknesses of the creature and exactly what it is. if kurt russell could do it i have faith in batman. batman always finds a way!

Point is, Kurt Russell knew it came from outer space & that fact easily led him to the conclusion that it's an alien he was dealing with.
Batman, on the other hand, doesn't know of the crashed ship nor that his enemy is of alien origin. And depending on what version of Batman we're talking about, he's never encountered an alien before nor has reason to believe in them.

i think it wouldn't really matter if it was alien or not, because batman has faced some pretty weird opponents who's abilities are alien like. even if the thing was artificial or made by scientists on earth for some evil reason, batman (comic, game, some of the series) could use his noggin and his faithful butler to find out how to get rid of it. one thing i will point out though is that batman refuses to kill his enemies and you aren't really able to stop the thing if you don't, at some point, kill it. if it's infecting a human i'm not sure weather or not batman could bring himself to do it. he might actually try and cure it but i doubt it's possible. i'm going to assume batman has the balls to kill the infected, and if he did get infected he could do what he always does; hallucinate about his family and his exes then get alfred to find a way to stop the thing. you may be saying "but Frikcha, you dumbass, you just said batman probably couldn't cure it! you stupid fat loser!" ah but there's a difference between the fully infected and a person who's just been introduced to the virus. i reckon batman could get the thing out of him before it took him over. so i think most batman incarnations could beat him... but not clooney... definitely not clooney...

Why do people keep mentioning the comic, TV or games? this is the movie forum and since we tend to use the most recent version unless stated otherwise by the OP...this is Bale Batman.
this forum (despite it's name) is for much more than just movies. also i'm sure the topic starter would have pointed out if he was talking about the movie exclusively.
From the rules thread.
8) Characters from televised movies are allowed for versus matches, but characters from an actual TV series are not allowed, since, obviously, the tv series is not a movie. Characters who have appeared on both television and on film (Star Trek, 24, etc) are allowed for versus matches. Star Trek, for example, has numerous tv shows of different franchises as well as motion pictures and it seems only fair to allow feats from both in versus matches. Remember, though: Characters who have appeared on television ONLY cannot be used in the Movie Versus Forum. That is why we have the All Versus Forum.

This isn't composite Batman vs the Thing, it's Bale Batman vs the Thing as unless stated otherwise by the OP, we use the most recent movie version.

you said you TEND to use the most recent movie version... now you say we MUST? it's not very formal to point out others mistakes while you are making your own.
