Does it?
I'm being honest, I have absolutely zero percent interest in arm wrestling as a phenomenon. But, in the interests of mind-broadening, could someone who knows about these things give me the quick, capsule review of how skill works when two people are arm-wrestling.
I'm not being sarcastic, I'd genuinely like to find out.
Because if skill is a 'thing' in an arm-wrestle, then Batman out-skills Logan all day every day and a few more extra ones for luck.So it might change how this matchup goes.
Anyone?

I knew a guy once who could lock his elbow so it wouldnt move. Basically ment his arm was locked into place until he unlocked it. He used to bet on arm wrestling and wait till the arthers guys arm was tyring befor actually using strength. Ended up stuffing up his elbow in a bad way so I wouldnt recomend

Yeah, technique plays a part in it. Bats would also have a leverage advantage due to the height difference. Might not get him the win, but i was surprised no one played that card here.Here's a link that covers the basics in a fairly amusing way.

Technique does indeed work.
Google the Mountain from GoT...he's the world's strongest man (or close to it). Deadlifts half a ton or something stupid like that.
Lost several arm wrestling matches to the champ. Who specialises, and doesn't lift/bench/ etc anywhere near him.

But the crucial part, is that its not.
IOW, its within the rules.
Hafthor also outweighs the other guy by a fair margin. Except one guy has skills, experience, and the presence of mind to use those skills.
The physical gap between them is also greater than between Bats and Wolvy, incidentally.
