So far, none of this sounds too wild for me to imagine.
When Shaw was beating on both Rogue and Wolverine though, he waited for them to be in arms reach before explaining that they were screwed.
Not hard for me to imagine that Batman would throw a batarang, and launch a batkick before his first attack even hit.
As soon as it becomes a melee match, Bats is boned.

What? Punch Rogue, she flies back in and charge him and he punched her again. What I got from that is he attacked, tanked, and attacked again. Where did he stand there and laugh?
Wow. So did he not stand in one spot the entire time and yell what his powers are? If you say no you're officially an idiot.

You think Bats is that fast?

I mean, standing in one spot WAS a tactic, apparently, cause it made him a still target and absorbed all of Rogue's momentum...

Because I like Shawsplaning.

Yeah, probably. Not really crucial though - I just don't think it's a forgone conclusion that Batman will figure out Shaw's powers before he takes it to melee, which would happen immediately following a batarang.
I don't think Batman would cycle through the long range tools in his utility belt while staying across the rooftop gap...
I also don't think Batman would keep his distance if Shaw attempts to make it a melee fight.

And? So as I said he yelled his powers and stayed in one spot. Correct? Carver denied that happened

True, true. Who do you see taking this match?
Originally posted by -K-M-Well, he didn't... he went through all that pompous dialogue, sure, but he did it while attacking her. So when Carver said:

At the very least, you're both right - he talked AND attacked - but since this whole topic is related to Shaw's CIS (and how that relates to battling Batman), I was trying to point out that Shaw may be pompous, but not necessarily stupid, because his attack did work.
Even if he doesn't say it, he's still THINKING it. He just wants an audience, I guess:

X-man, I know, but adding it to the Shawsplanation:
http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/jj364/galanphotobook/s5.jpg
Even when people know about his powers, he will gladly explain his new powers:

Also, what's stopping Bats from just using chokeholds?

What I've noticed about Shaw is he explains his powers while attacking. Batman gets squeezed to death.
He didn't do it against Gambit (twice), Box, Storm, or Pierce.
Your powers of noticing are weak.
Also, none of the scans show him 'squeezing' someone to death. He usually punches them away. The amount of energy Batman would have in his kick (as Batman does NOT go for 'motorcyclesplitting kicks' as his first attack) would hardly make him super powerful either.

Wait a minute. I'm not use to this line of debate from Dark. Aren't you the one that usually resort to bfring as a majority tactic stating that "why would he not do this if it's within his ability to do". You debate primarily off of powerset.
