read it, understand it, batman is not to be f@cked with
There was a bio on Snake Eyes in a voted thread battle of the month done on another forum. See if I can find it, but the bio lists several martial arts mastery, and then there is the fact SE knows several MAs Batman has never seen befor either. That evens a bit the skill ground.
Gear wise Batman has a wide array of non lethal gear, Snake Eyes has a small but tried and proven array of lethal gear.
In the end this is a good match.

IOW I was correct about it being the scene with the CD, BTW nowhere in the scene is it stated that Batman is a master of all 127 styles.
I think that people are also forgetting about how relentless snake eyes is. The skill physical and skill gap between these two isn't that big. As soon as batman realizes that he's fighting someone that's in his league, he'll probably try to get away from snake eyes and use his tech on him. The sad thing is that snake eyes is going to continue to chase bruce until he's down.

So if I've mastered tai chi, muay Thai and karate, I'd automatically beat Ali in his prime?
No, but I would think you would have a better chance than not. Some martial arts emphasize, offense over defense, others defense over offense. Some emphasize evading, others emphasize blocking.
Knowing multiple styles also helps recognize what your opponent can/might do, just by their stance. Many other reasons being familiar with multiple styles will help, but not an auto win. Nothing is.
As to Prime time Ali, well, even other master boxers fell to the main man. 🙂
Well, sure, better chance - but just because one guy has mastered 127 styles, and the other has mastered five or whatever - does not automatically mean 127 guy wins.
After all, there are only so many different ways you can effectively punch. The human body only moves in certain ways, after all. A lot of those 127 styles will have things in common with each other - it's not as if Batman knows 127 different ways to headbutt someone.

In comic it does. Don't apply RL to comics, especially not when it comes to MA because they work more like a superpower, best example KK. He knows all the MA in the Universe and can beat Kryptonians.
