I'm so tired of hearing that Batman is just going to "easily deduce that Daredevil is blind right off the bat!" Enemies, extremely intelligent ones at that, of DD's have fought him dozens and dozens of times and most of them still don't know that he's blind. Batman is not going to just look at him and realize it immediately. In fact, even in the cross-over, Bats didn't realize it until way after they were done fighting. Bats would be way too caught up in the fight to even begin thinking that. I mean, seriously. If you were suddenly pit against an opponent, is your first thought "Is he blind? What are the chances he's blind? Maybe I should find out if he's blind before I start fighting." No. Batman is going to fight him like he'd fight any other highly-skilled opponent.
In a straight up confrontation DD would get the majority of wins. Their skill and strength levels are comparable but on top of that DD is also as fast and agile as Nightwing with a radar sense to boot. In all honesty I can't even see Batman getting into his belt during this fight. The melee would be so intense that their would never be a break in combat long enough for Bruce to get anything and if he tried he would have to lower his defences and Matt would walk all over him. I'd give DD 6-7/10.

Disagree. Daredevil knows 2 or 3 martial arts like judo and ninjitsu but Batman knows at least 127. Combine that with the "OYL" year he used to refine his skills and he has a lot more skill. Strengthwise, they are probably closer, but I'm under the impression that Batman can bench more.

Batman isn't fast and agile? Also, the radar sense is a huge weakness; sound devices could cost him the win. And I doubt it'll be easy for Daredevil to find Batman. In JLA, Batman designed a device so that he could sneak up on Superman. If he can evade Superman's hearing, who probably has a much higher spectrum of detection than Daredevil, then Batman would defeat the radar sense fairly easily.

Batman can draw weapons pretty damn fast.

Even the Punisher could draw out weapons in a fight with DD.
and if he tried he would have to lower his defences and Matt would walk all over him. I'd give DD 6-7/10.
Batman would not lower his defenses- that's a pretty wild conjecture. DD has no chance in this fight. Sound blaster. End fight.

Arg. Did you not read my previous post? Common knowledge about DD does not include Bats knowing about his blindness. All Batman knows is that he is an experienced fighter and very agile at the most. Batman wouldn't just pull out a sonic device on an opponent he feels he can match or best in a fight.
And I know that Batman created a device that enabled him to sneak up on Superman. But Superman doesn't have the same powers as DD. It's not just sound that DD utilizes. He would feel the vibrations in the air, or smell just about everything off of Batman (hell, he could probably even taste him through the air). He wouldn't be sneaking up on him.
1) Batman is the greatest detective in the DC
2) In the Batman/Daredevil crossover, Batman realized DD had heightened senses just by a slight acclimation of the nose. He's an inference/deductive genius; don't undermine that.
3)"Too caught up in the fight to think?" Sure, Batman, out of all people, does not THINK FAST ENOUGH when he fights.
4) " Enemies, extremely intelligent ones at that, of DD's have fought him dozens and dozens of times and most of them still don't know that he's blind."
If they aren't the greatest detectives in the world, then they can go to hell.
5) If Batman cannot deduce that DD is blind, he can AT LEAST, deduce that DD has heightened senses..via catalyst to sound blasting.
Being blind and having heightened senses have no correlation to each other. Likewise, Batman does not even need to know DD is blind to know he has heightened senses.
If DD has such an intense smell, Batman would probably knock him out with sleeping gas. DD would feel it a mile away lol.
