To be fair, even Aquaman did that.

With that trident that breaks like a toothpick.

Was able to actually injure darkseid, an actual multiversal being and threat at the time

Okay? Yeah, it's a nice feat. But it doesn't magically elevate her to a whole new tier.

In the JL/DS scan.....wasn't Superman the one the league needed to win?
Not Diana?

Darkseid was at full power when they fought and she had the advantage.

What advantage... it was a team effort and they still had to bfr Seid.

Not that fight. I was talking about the fight JL King mentioned.

Here we go again.

A vastly weaker, younger, teenage Darkseid beat her with the utmost of ease earlier in the story, and then beat Zeus while she was helplessly standing around thinking how can they fight so fast.

Stop trolling.

Wasn't he too fast for WW to keep track of?

So this happened:

That's from a pack in comic DVD set of Transformers called "The Beast Within", and is infamous among Transformers fans for being the worst comic ever made. It's written entirely in Comic Sans font, with almost no periods, and no real plot.

That guy ripping Menosaur in half? That's the first Dinobot combiner.

If this is where Siege got its source material, no wonder it was so bad.

Lol the little t rex arms by the big yeloow guy's head... Nice

Real question: Why do DC fans think that Batman knowing so many styles is actually relevant? There aren't that many unique styles (most styles are just a slight variation on another), he uses like 3 or 4 mostly and a savant level master of the right one could still beat him. It's a useless fan stat, not one that's actually combat relevant.

The human body only moves in but so many ways. If you master a striking, grappling, defensive and ground style, you can realistically counter ANY martial artist and ALL the bases are covered.

👆 it's the same way Thor fans cite his thousands of years of fighting experience, or Wolverine etc.....after a while, one has surely seen all the different ways people can punch/kick/grapple.

It's just a stat people like to cling on to.

It's also fiction.

Bruce's mastery of so many styles has actually helped him quite a few times in the past(like in his fights with KK for example.)

didn't KK whoop him?

but Striking is striking. Grappling is grappling. They are mostly similar cuz many evolved from existing forms and the human body has finite movement possibilities. We know this. Also, straight from DC the man uses his own style composed of 15 arts in total

It's just a product of its time, is all. If Batman was made nowadays, he'd probably rely heavily on BJJ and wrestling and be represented more like an MMA fighter than someone that knows 100 different kinds of kung fu.

Either way, the result is the same: He's still a top or near top-tier fighter in DC.

KK definitely had the advantage, sure.

But Bruce's mastery of several styles is what allowed him to contend so well against KK. But ultimately, KK had the advantage because, well, he has mastered ALL styles.
