Trashing Baleman really isn't outside of Fisks's abilities.

Just a little note on Banes strength vs Fisks; during Banes second fight against Batman near the end of the movie, Bane was punching through concrete...
I havent seen anything from Fisk to suggest he's at that level of strength...
Bane has comparable physical stats and is a more skilled fighter. Without the mask weakness he can probably win after a hard fight, though as it stands now Bane gets his face splattered.
Baleman only broke it with his scallops which could pre-upgrade break Ra's sword. And it was simply re-attached afterwards I doubt Fisk has shown striking power enough to break steel
Not to mention Fisk has a habit of tanking attacks, especially when angered, which won't bode well for him
Bane wins imo

I was trying to antagonize a certain DC fanboy who often lowballs DD characters. I still think Fisk wins. Fact remains that, despite being a really large fellow, he is still fast enough in H2H to give guys like Daredevil a good run for their money. And his blows are strong enough to rock guys as tough as Frank and Matt hard. He also literally has like 7 inches in height advantage (and a proportionate reach advantage), despite Nolan's attempts to make Bane look taller.

Bane didn't exactly punch through concrete. If you look at the pillar he punched and the material inside after he punched it, it sure doesn't look like solid concrete.

Yeah but given the hype I figured this dude would be some huge powerhouse. Yet from what a friend of mine who has seen the first season is telling me, Fisk is just some big ****er who is pretty strong, but perfectly within reasonable human parameters for his build and height.
Men of Baleman's height and build aren't anywhere near as strong as him, considering he curled a two hundred+ pound man (Liam Neeson) and threw him over himself to save him.
Similarly, Bane grabbed Baleman by the neck and lifted him clear over his head before walking with him, which is a feat no man on the planet can replicate if I'm correct. The Thomas Inch Dumbell is extremely hard to lift due to its 178 pound weight and due to the size of its grip. Batman's armoured neck is thicker, and he weighs over two hundred pounds.
How exactly does Bane not literally beat Fisk to death with his bare hands?
