Well Batman is still faster by feats. That could mean either Batman's strength is used more efficiently towards his speed (less waste of energy) than Gamora's strength is used or Batman's strength to mass ratio is greater than Gamora's. Batman is simply faster or just as fast due to feats. You would have to disregard his feats in order for Gamora to be faster.Huh? I answered your question. If two beings are peers in nearly every way but 1 is a lot stronger and willing to kill then the stronger more willing to kill character always wins. That's why Gamora beats Batman.
I know eye blasts were dodged. I mentioned hand blasts to destroy those feats separately. Now again, we can't be sure Gamora dodged after the fire or simply used evasive movement in order to not be a stationary target. Batman has literally reacted only AFTER a laser was fired. IMO, the feat is PIS and it is a one off. But I mention it when others try to mention one off feats for other characters.
Batman is not faster. Batman is as fast as Captain America
This is his tier in terms of speed, and those in a tier above his speed. Take note that speed does not equal agility. Agility is either innately given by power set (i.e Spider Man, Night Crawler, Beast) or training. (Daredevil, Nightwing). Again this is not counting trained combat skill, only speed.
Tier 0 (Or below Olympic level)
Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Gwen Stacy, Jarvis, Alfred
Tier 1 Peak Human (Or above Olympic level)
Captain America, Daredevil, Shang Chi (non chi amped), Wildcat, Nightwing, Black Panther (Classic levels), Bane (without venom), Iron Fist (non chi amped) Gambit, Wolverine (Normal), Black Canary, Red Hood, Batroc, Slade, Bullseye.
Tier 2. Enhanced Human
Iron Fist (Chi amping), Beast, Night Crawler, Wolverine (Berserk), Sabretooth, Shang Chi (Chi amping), Bane (with venom)
Tier 3 Super Human 1
Spider Man, Venom, Scarlet Spider, US Agent, Hawk, Dove, Tombstone, Sabretooth (berserk) Drax, Midnighter, Brin Londo (beast mode), Gorilla Grodd.
Tier 4 Super Human 2
Gamora, Angela, Carnage, Aquaman, etc.
You wrote about feats?
What feats have you shown?
Is it low balling to bring up the fact that Bane has matched Batman more than once, and in more than one universe? Bane is certainly not as fast as Gamora. As I've shown you with my minor tier listing, there are different levels of speed, and there are levels than go far above what I listed. Let's not confuse speed with agility, or combat skill.
Batman does not have super speed. DC has confirmed this. It does not matter what you perceive in the books that he is in. When he is up against someone in his tier, like Bane he has been hit. Nightwing can hit him, Captain America can hit him, but it goes further than that. Under optimal conditions, they aren't only able to hit him, they could draw the fight out with him. You keep saying that you will prove something, but you haven't done anything. Your best argument is that by feats he is faster. She has done everything that he has done in terms of speed, and actually has feats that surpass his, based on fights with actual characters that are far superior than Bane.
Let's take a look shall we?

Are you trying to say that bane is as fast as Gamora as well?
