Batman takes out 12 thugs in 21 seconds. Nolan, in an interview said he used cut scenes in Batman's first appearance to show how blindingly quick Batman is. I posted the video. He has to be far faster than the average human. Any professional fighter is far faster than the average human.Bane showed his speed in comparison when he was able to block and dodge Batman's attacks.
Considering that thugs Batman fights have been known to randomly drop without even getting hit, I'd say that's a very weak argument to use and has no bearing to show how fast Batman is against a decent fighter. I mean, he got messed up by the Joker.
Also, remind me again which movie it was where he took out these 12 thugs? Is this in TDKR?
