Rank the following based on their skill with a sword. I realize that the different character prefer different kinds of swords. This isn't putting them against each other. I just want them ranked as far as technical skill with them wielding their preferred weapon.
Batman
Black Panther
Blade
Captain America
Deadpool
Deathstroke
Doctor Doom
Green Arrow
Nightcrawler
Psylocke
Ra's Al Ghul
Wolverine
Wonder Woman
Currently, Wolverine is significantly better in swordsmanship than even Silver Samurai thanks to a refresher course. Logan is far and away the top of this list at the moment.

He beat him in training, but I dont take that as meaning he's really better than SS. It's that inevitable moment where student defeats the master to show how good he is. I would say they are peers though. Still go with Ras as top dg.

does the lack of rankings dictate that no one has a clue and no one wants to have their list shredded, or is it just laziness?
I don't actually know for sure, but i'll just rank them based on what i have seen in terms of actual swordsmanship ability and not just based on damage they do with a sword.
1. Ra's Al Ghul
2. Wolverine
3. Batman
4. Blade
5. Deathstroke
6. Nightcrawler
7. Black Panther
8. Deadpool
9. Wonder Woman
10. Psylocke
11. Doctor Doom
12. Green Arrow
13. Captain America

Are you referring to Hush? He defeated him in the desert.
Looks fair to me. I might have put Arrow and Cap over Doom though. They're close though. You'd think Diana would be higher with all her battle experience. Lack of feats?

yeah, i haven't seen much of Diana's sword fighting ability. I did think about putting her at 7 or 8 based on reputation but then Deadpool has tons more showings... even though his actual skill level may be questionable. Black Panther was a tough one to gauge as well, it's said that he is a master of pretty much everything, but i haven't seen much (if any) swordplay against other skilled swordsman.
Cap is another one who is said to have mastered every weapon known to man. Not too many sword feats though. He did use it in his fight against Wolverine.
Diana's something of an all-around weapons master, but yea, she doesn't get into a buncha duels with the sword specifically. She spars with staff more often than sword. I think she spars with Amazons with sword, but again, mostly off-screen.
She's probably quite skilled, but there isn't much to see on the specific sword front, most of the time she uses it it is not at another sword-using being that lets her show off her skill.
Hm, come to think of it, she held her own against Beowulf while depowered.
no, it was in an alternate reality though...and come to think of it, ra's was about to kill him, superman intervened, which gave batman the time to recover and make the kill strike
