Would gas knock him out?
It should do, but am sure there will be a scan showcasing the opposite.
Otherwise, Batman will punch him, Shaw would laugh it off, he'd get batarangs etc thrown at him to no effect, Shaw would do his usual arrogant villain thing of telling Batman what his powers are, and Bats would then use his gas.
so long as bats figures out his power quickly he should be able to ko him. if shaw starts amping himself though, this could be tough. his durability goes through the roof. i wonder if pressure points would be enough? gas SHOULD do it, but only if it is unexpected, otherwise bats would have the gas blown back in his face.

Pressure points, imo, wouldn't work - he'd just absorb the KE from the attacks.
Another way he could win is by expanding foam inside Shaw's big mouth.

He's hardly known for his subtlety.

Also Batman would never potentially kill anyone.
But he WOULD know how long the average human could hold their breath before being KO'd; this was the strategy I had in mind:
A gas pellet in Shaw's mouth would take him out.
Batman used something similar against Captain Nazi I think, when he fought him, the hyena and vertigo. Or maybe it was against grundy?
Anyways, pretty clear cut fight. Batman either gets gets something that goes for Shaw's throat/eyes/whatever, or Shaw becomes too strong.

The KE from a pressure point attack isn't really going to be much, especially compared to a decent punch. If it's something like a nerve hold, the velocity of movement involved would be so slow that the KE would be negligible. Shaw would be getting far more energy from his own footsteps.
If it's a jab type pressure point attack, it may well render him unconscious before it amps him, even if it does amp him even as much as a punch. It's not like one punch makes him invincible, he's probably susceptible to these sorts of attacks for at least a while - after all, we've seen Thor, Hulk, Namor, Thing etc. all knocked clean out by a single quick pressure point attack. I doubt Batman would let him reach those levels.

If it were from someone modestly superhuman I could buy that, but I don't think they'd work from Batman.
I do think though Bats is the favorite here, with the scans DS showed of Shaw proudly proclaiming his power. Batman's got the durability showings and skill that I think he'd last long enough for Shaw to tell him, and then use gas or something.
