sin didn't play in hiv's thread the way he wanted her to play so he has to troll her, and ds doesn't even know for sure what the "very clear stips" even mean.
i was wrong--hiv threads really are awesome. now quick, get in here, piggy-back on something i've already said and that you think is cleverly passive-aggressive, but above all defend the precious!

was he? i always thought his skillset was a mix, little bit of everything. mainly focusing on theatrics, stealth and gadgets. plus the whole no kill thing
He did get all kinds of training, but ninjutsu was part of that training. And it makes sense imo. Ninjas, in essence, are trained in unconventional warfare. That describes Batman pretty well with the stuff you mentioned like stealth, theatrics, gadgets etc.
And Wayne was trained for a full year by a guy that DC says is a ninjutsu master (his name is Kirigi, though I can only find handbooks, not comics that state so) that went on to train League of Assassins members and people like Bronze Tiger.
I've just been doing some bat-research lately in to what exactly his training was, so this thread nicely coincides with said research.

@raoul, true but bruce is more an amalgam than any one trope like ninja. same goes with matt who id describe as a brawler-esque/boxer/acrobat ma than a ninjal
I think it's a difference in how we both define it. I mean, if they gave out certificates, I'm sure he'd have one. He's a qualified ninja, and a LOT of how he operates reflects that. He's just added and incorporated a lot more in to his arsenal than just ninjutsu.
That's pretty much the point of him, right? A Renaissance man. Name a skill, he can do it. Is he good at acting? Yes, he can do Hollywood level makeup effects. Is he able to speak Japanese? Yes, to the point he can actually detect errors in accents. Can he do ninjitsu? Yes, to the point he can vanish from Superman and Martian Manhunter as they're looking at him.
He's probably a level 9 pianist, a gourmet chef, champion seamstress etc.
Yeah, he's pretty much the best at most things if not everything. They do explain it sometimes, which is nice, but there are times when it's Chris Reeve Superman levels of pulling stuff out of his ass.
Or at least, he's a great all rounder. Tim is better at detecting, Dick is more agile, Damian has the potential to be more skilled or whatever....but he pretty much maxes out just below them.
Anyway, if any of these guys have better stealth feats than Batman, I'd be happy to be corrected.
