Batman vs Black Manta
Used the search function, didn't find it, maybe because I didn't actually bother searching.
Anyway, Aquaman's greatest foe, against the Dark Knight. Usual starting distance of 150m, battlefield is a football stadium (so nice open areas if you want it, but also narrow passageways and sneaky sneaky places if you want it).
i'd take bats. his ranged weapons would be good enough to get through the suit and i think bats is more than skilled enough to avoid most of what bm can throw at him and even end him in cqc. i know manta can hang with am, but i still like bats if it gets close. never really got the whole manta/arthur thing. has manta been confirmed at super powered officially?

Manta isnt super human but his suit augments his strength and durability. Wearing the suit hes at least class 40. Add to that the fact ita bulletproof, is completely self contained for air, cannot be gotten into even on a microscopic level and the optic blasts and other weapons he has I'd say Bats has an uphill battle. Pretty sure nu52 Manta is also a former merc.
Bats can win with prep certainly, random encounter? I doubt it.
what gear are we talking about as a difference maker for manta? eye blasts=laser gun. spears/harpoons? i dunno. i could see bats cutting his suit, or using acid on it then some combo of gas maybe. bats also has lasers and some powerful explosives both in and out of batarangs. in a ring environment i might lean more heavily to manta. with this environment bats can hide and pick and choose his spots. i'd still take bats here.
