Even Batman, with all his training can't match him physically. <br /><br />Fighting skills for both are at levels beyond anything normally reachable by a human. Batman has dedicated his life to the martial arts while Cap has used his enhanced mind to learn them as well. He fought in WWII and has spent every waking moment since the 1960's perfecting them. To say he isn't Batmans equal at H2H just shows either an ignorance of his character. <br /><br />Both are experts with weapons. Both have a level of determination and force of will that cannot broken. <br /><br />Captain America won't tire and he will heal from a blow in just minutes. Batman can't match him there.<br /><br />Batman is second only to Sherlock Homes as a detective and will research Cap completely if possible before they fight. Cap will instantly adjust tactics as the fight goes on. Batman does have armor that can help him against Cap and an array of tools that will more than offset Cap's shield. <br /><br />Here is the thing though, in know way could anyone, especially Bruce Wayne, think Captain America was a criminal. Cap is far to noble and Bruce cannot be duped. On the other hand, even if he was given misinformation, Steve Rodgers would quickly discern that Batman was no criminal either. He's spent his life fighting the noble fight and he doesn't make those mistakes.<br /><br />These guys won't fight each other long enough for Caps endurance to matter. Nothing could make them do that. As shown in the crossover, once they begin to respect each other, they join forces against the common enemy. Any other result dishonors and disrespects who they are. <br /><br />I'm a Marvel fan, but truthfully, Batman is more interesting a character. I think he's the best one DC has created. That said, any fight will end as a draw and I pity the bad guy who caused them to fight in the first place.

Batman is struggling to get 630 lbs off of the floor and pulls a muscle. If Batman is wearing some of his WayneTech Superman-buster stuff, then sure I can see him pounding Captain America but the Captain is a much more durable, agile and stronger physical specimen than Bruce Wayne. I love the Batman (more than Cap) but there is a big difference between being a peak-human specimen such as Bruce and being a paragon of human perfection such as Captain America. Cap can see bullets and dodge them while Batman relies on his martial arts training and skills. Captain America is a renowned martial artist as well and very experienced. I just cant see Wayne coming out on top against Rogers but it would be one heck of a fight!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-68889455846301658922012-10-19T02:29:12.148-07:002012-10-19T02:29:12.148-07:00I dunno where most of you are getting these number...I dunno where most of you are getting these numbers from for batman, but I've never heard that ever. cap just out classes batman in almost every way. cap wins in strength, speed, intelligence, prep, he never fatigues, he heals faster. Deathstroke and cap would be a draw. and Deathstroke beat batman to a bloody mess. Oh and cap will kill too. batman won't. No gases, diseases, infections, viruses effect captain America either. plus cap has mastered every martial arts and fighting style there is. he also made up his own fighting style. he fought in ww2 and has military training. is an expert with his shield that's made of vibranium/Adimantium. when he throws his shield he can predetermin how it will bounce. Cap has beaten the hulk and Thor in a fist fight. also is the only person or character to ever be able to pick up mijlnor except for Thor.<br /><br />sorry batman fanboys... batman is just out classed in this fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-47337027748240122922012-09-06T03:36:46.643-07:002012-09-06T03:36:46.643-07:00Actually in every reading Ive been able to find st...Actually in every reading Ive been able to find states that Batman has pushed himself to the peak of human conditioning through sheer will alone. His given stats are he can bench 1000 pounds, and leg lift 2500. So no matter what, both men are at peak human condition to what their bodies can go. Cap got his in a bottle and Bats got his through pure work. To top it off, Bats knows 120+ different forms of martial arts(armed and unarmed). Cap can box.... and he has acquired some basic martial skills from his time in the military, which during WW2 was very limited as there wasn't the world wide access to foreign martial styles(Asian martial arts were not taught to Americans), and his time in the present. And as far as will and determination goes, lets just say that Bats has turned down a GL ring before. Also, Bats has fought opponents with just about every bone in his body broken at one time or another, it took a broken back to stop him, and he came back from that as well. Weapons, well yeah lets not go there because Cap lost that fight before it even started. And its not that Bats NEEDS them, he just has them because it makes his job easier. So Physically(strength, speed, and agility) they are about the same, Cap getting a slight, and I mean SLIGHT advantage there. Martial skill, Bats, Weapons, Bats, Will and Determination, Bats. Now the two things that could sway the battle dramatically comes in the form of 2 glaring differences in their moral codes. Bats will cheat. He is smarter and way more cunning than Cap could ever be. While he is a strategist like Bats, he just doesn't have the cunning to keep up with Bats. Every fight that Cap gets into devolves into a drag out brawl. Bats on the other hand will sneak past, knock out, and basically avoid what he can when he can and sneak up on and take out from surprise or stealth what he cant. And if he has time to prep, Cap doesn't have a chance. Best said in the A-Team movie "Give me a minute, I'm good. Give me an hour, I'm great. Give me six months, I'm unbeatable." On the other hand, Cap has been a soldier in a real war. He will kill if he must. In most cases he can defeat his enemy with out it, but you don't carry a gun to say hello. Batman will not kill. even when faced with the idea of fighting the same villains over and over, he wont kill.

But you need to remember batman can bench press 1000lbs and leg press 2500lbs. He is the peak of human perfection without physical enhancements his batsuit has several batarangs, grapples, a built in body taser, he has mastered 127 martial arts, he can memorize body movements and attacks, he has a glider for a cape, and in a true fight the second he started realizing that a head-on fight is pointless, he would go stealth mode and use his master detective skill to dominate captain America.Johnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-86152268391972230532012-08-13T00:13:18.005-07:002012-08-13T00:13:18.005-07:000.o No one mentioned that Batman is a Super genius...0.o No one mentioned that Batman is a Super genius in maths,physics,chemistry,geography,strategy,criminology,history,forensics,computer science and engineering and let's not forget that Batman has a willpower that surpasses Superman's and maybe even Hal Jordan's so to say that captain America has greater determination is just not true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-51659358734774117792012-07-29T23:27:01.502-07:002012-07-29T23:27:01.502-07:00Cap is an elite tactician.

Determination is honestly probably equal through out all super heroes but batman in particular not on ly has the determination to fight, but the determination to stick to his moral code, even after the one who was practiclly his son was killed at the hands of his arch nemesis, and that said said came back from the dead crying out to batman for vengance, and batman denied him. Tactics, this is a one on one battle correct? If you're asserting batman is a loner and that would make him lose, then you forget this is a one on one battle, not a team fight.

I've noticed many people are confused about how "super" Captain America is. <br /><br />The super soldier serum that was given to Steve Rodgers by Dr. Erskine during Project Rebirth did indeed push Captain America's abilities to the peak of what human beingd are capable of. But this peak is just short being truly "superhuman". Captain America has been observed pressing 1100 to 1200 pounds. The current world record is 1075. There is no way Batman is that strong. People train for years and never get that strong. Captain America can run a mile in a minute. The fastest record for that is 3:43. Batman isn't that fast.<br /><br />Cap is obviously the superior tactician. Batman is a loner. Captain America trained in the ultimate tactical enviroment, leading men in combat. <br /><br />As for hand to hand combatants, I would say they are both equal. Both have mastered many different forms of combat, and both have used that knowledge to overcome stronger opponents. <br /><br />Noone has more determination that Cap. Cap IS determination. That's his whole thing. He keeps getting up after getting knocked down. He was a tiny, sickly kid that wanted to enlist so he could fight in World War Two.<br /><br />Conclusion: Cap and Bats are equally skilled, but Cap beats him in strength, speed, determination, and tactics.Adamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-29211296275928645012012-06-20T15:24:19.849-07:002012-06-20T15:24:19.849-07:00Those that said Capt is superhuman were wrong. The...Those that said Capt is superhuman were wrong. The serum only allow him to be a perfect human being. Now please do not mistake it as a RPG game where Capt would get 100 spd 100 str 100 endurance, The serum only pushed his cell to the limit of their DNA encoded, The Serum did not altering his DNA; therefore only his cell attended max potential and this is no different than Batman. Batman had undergoes training; eating; to push his cell to peak of human ability. So there is no different in physic abilities between Batman and Captain America.<br /><br />Now about intelligent, the Serum may or may not granted him the brain, bu even if it did, the best Capt could do is memorize stuff. A human mind need training to develop, Capt cant suddenly in 10 years of fighting would be the tactician as Bats since Bats trained through out his youth to acquire that. It's like you could have a great brain but you dont have any school education at all. So Capt will never ever as smart or good at tactic as Bats.<br /><br />Abilities Capt is no where as good as Bats in H2H combat. Do you know at what age that Bats started his training ? And the serum did not grant him the abilities to fight good, you have to train to know how to fight, which is why he need the shield to protect him while fighting. I dont care that how many martial arts he master AFTER the serums; he had less time and determination to train than Bats. Bats also immune to most of posion including Scarecrow fear gas through hard training. And as i have said; the serum only push Capt's cells to peak of DNA encoded therefor he is noway better or stronger at anything than Bats since Bats had trained to push his condition to peak.<br /><br />Last point; Bats patrols Gotham city every night. Anyone think doing acrobat every night without any sleep isn't training is just an idiot.<br /><br />So conclusion, Capt vs Bats. Bats would win easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-89196231770305623412012-06-08T21:35:47.627-07:002012-06-08T21:35:47.627-07:00I think the only thing that we all need to remembe...I think the only thing that we all need to remember is that Batman beat Superman.

Even then, the TRUE limits of human conditioning are ever (slowly) increasing. Cap is in CONSTANT training mode.<br />what is Steve Rogers generally doing in his "spare" time? <br />TRAINING.<br />Bruce Wayne?<br />'Running' a company/ providing a public 'face'/deflecting any suspicion he may be the Bat.<br />I'm certain he trains to maintain. But he is also stubborn to a fault with doing his OWN detective work.<br />He usually won't trust others to help.<br />That's gotta be time consuming.<br />He's also GOTTA be a bit worn down from all the damage he's taken over the years.<br />Cap has the benifit of the serum repairing/maintaining that 'pinnacle human form'.<br />Again, He is the PINNACLE in all human areas.<br />Technically, looking at EACH of his abilities, no, he's not TRADITIONALY Superhuman. He's the Fastest (arguably) humanly possible in SPEED. Strongest in strength, Most endurance with Stamina, Quickest possible brain. (problem solving, snap-decisions etc.) which helps account for his UNCANNY Accuracy with his shield.<br />It's a tricky category he's in. He's Human. He's Super-Human.<br />I guess since he's NOT chucking a half ton boulder with one hand, Marvel categorizes him as human.<br />Now for Batman to have the strength Cap has? AT BEST he'd end up as built as comic BANE.<br />There goes Speed. Possibly there goes endurance.<br />What Bruce has done is pushed his body to ITS point of perfection. HE HAS PERFECTLY BALANCED HIS ABILITIES.<br />So Cap kinda outclasses him there.<br />Bruce has a very keen mind tho. SCARY KEEN.<br />He has studied sciences. Caps mind might be every bit as keen (if not more) than Bruce's, but he won't know the chemistry/science Bats knows, simply because he hasn't studied it. Cap is more the strategist. Cap is very 'adapt to the moment' type guy.<br />Batman is more, let me prepare in advance for every contingency I can think of.<br />They Will be closely matched in fighting skill.<br />BOTH (key word) fight opponents MANY TIMES STRONGER/MORE POWERFUL than themselves. NOT JUST BATMAN.<br />Cap doesn't fight guys who 'play fair' either. (which is why I scratch my head when people think it guarantees the win for batman because he 'cheats') <br />Cap has Bats at an advantage.<br />But that won't guarantee Cap the win either.<br />I see this as being a loooong fight.<br />Cap would be amazed at the tenacity of Batman.<br />But I see Cap taking the win in the end.<br />If it were 'multiple round fight', then out of 5 rounds, I'd see 3-2 in favor of Cap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589999168687709012.post-11261996463624897532012-02-09T03:02:51.476-08:002012-02-09T03:02:51.476-08:00Ahem.

That's a given.<br />Hand-to-hand expertise, I would consider a draw; both are among the best H2H fighters in their respective universes, and due to lack of an established figure (meaning, since they've never given any true definition of their prowess other than occasional comparisons and the whole "one of the best" thing), it's hard to put one over the other.<br /><br />BUT<br /><br />Batman's psychological and tactical expertise, in conjunction with the extensive training he's given himself in all aspects of what he does, not just fighting, gives him the edge.<br /><br />Batman's used to fighting people stronger than him, even people who aren't just lumbering muscleheads, people who KNOW how to fight, he still comes out on top. It's what he's trained himself to do.<br /><br />In a H2H fight between Batman and Captain America, I predict that it would be a long, even fight, but the longer it dragged on, the more Batman would rely on his brain rather than his fighting. He would keep his distance, and figure out how to cripple Cap. Cap, while being an excellent field tactician and strategist, doesn't possess that keen deductive instinct that Batman has, and thus, I believe that factor decides the fight.<br /><br /><br />And that's if weapons aren't involved. If they are, easy advantage to batman.
