How long do you think it took him to tap his foot repeatedly? An hour? Now I understand that there isn't a stopwatch in the corner of the page showing exactly how long each action took, but I think it is fairly clear that it only took a matter of seconds for him to create the dupes.
Dude, if you watch one of the scans where Batman is dodging bullets, you could say that he'd take out dozens of Jamies at a single time cause it seems like he moves dizzyingly fast. It's just not concrete evidence that he could duplicate so fast, you know?
How big do you think the gas cloud would be? 10 or 20 feet in diameter? He only has to hold his breath long enough to walk the 10 or 20 or however big you think this gas could would be to get out of it.
It is possible that Jamie could generate enough to leave the cloud, which Batman could only stop by using liquid nitrogen capsules to freeze them as blockades so the other duplicates are trapped, or bombs to wipe out the edges of Jamies, or other ways of securing the perimeter. Batman moves fast enough to dodge bullets and go circles around people, so I doubt it would be a hard task.
I'm not sure of what his current top number is as he has (like everyone else) been upgraded over the years. I know that it is in the mid to upper hundreds, but I'm not sure if he has ever pushed it beyond that.
Good to know he has limits.
If Jamie fights like an idiot then yes Batman can win, but keep in mind that Jamie isn't an idiot either. He sent numerous dupes into the world to live different lives and accumulate skills (such as becoming a Buddhist monk, study different martial arts, picking locks, learning Russian, becoming a licenced attorney, participating on a Olympic gymnastic team, and others) all of which he then absorbed back into himself. Given all that I think and his mutant power I think it would take a little more than a few gas pellets to beat him.
Impossible to determine if any of that makes a difference.
But that is his problem as physical attacks, even every quick ones, won't work here and there hasn't been any evidence shown to demonstrate that his gas attack would work fast enough either. As to the speed of Jamie's duplication just imagine how fast you could stamp your feet or snap your fingers if it was a life or death situation. That is as fast as Jamie can create dupes and that is as fast as they can create other dupes. Also keep in mind that each dupes would have Jamie's martial arts, gymnastic, and other skills as well.
I think it would be quite a difficult task as he would have to keep track of dozens if not hundreds of constantly multiplying opponents each with Olympic level gymnastic skills, some of whom may be directly attacking him. Also thanks to Jamie's ability to create a dupe inside an opponent, then everyone of the copies would have an instant kill they got near Batman.
How is it impossible to determine if having martial arts skills and being an Olympic level athlete would make a difference in a fight?
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Batman doesnt kill, so razor batarangs, explosives, and a laser cutting torch against a opponent he doesnt really know wouldnt happen. I can see him gasing the guy, but it all comes down to whos quicker the mob, or Batman using gas instead of brute force.
general knowledge: MM can duplicate. Bats doesnt know how many, how he does it....too many blanks. IF bats used the gas, then sure he might win. But remember that all of MMs dupes have been around the world. He might be on par in MA skills, he is a detective, and he has the numbers advantage.
