Well it's a little more than that.
Over the last 5 years, I was worried about Batman's Fighting credentials, with addition of so many new characters that are either allies or non-powered foes, who enter Batman's territory of physicality. Especially after Batman had just finished positioning himself atop the best human fighter list, in the DCU.
So including all potentials, from the show, and those extra from the comics, that never made it to tv, but are still very important, who would come out on top, as the winner, in a one on one brawl?
Now what I had read from a Batman editor in the letter column in response to a similar question dealt with Lady Shiva and Batman. HE said, out of 10 fights Shiva may win 6. Now this was before the New Batgirl was created. In a different letter, an editor responded that Nightwing was in the top 5 of all the Best Fighters in the DCU.
So Basically, tell me 2 things: What do you think the top 5 or 10 really is, and if different, What do you think the top 5 or 10 SHOULD be, based on all your knowledge and everything YOU witnessed from these heroes and some villains.
(Ofcourse only referring to Bat related Characters, from the Show and Book)
Based on what those Editors Said, I think THEIR top fighters List Looked Something Like this: (pre-new Batgirl)
1-Lady Shiva
2-Batman
3-Bane
4-Azreal
5-Nightwing
6-That Other Young Green arrow
7-Silver Monkey
8-Cain
9-Robin
10-King Snake
Now since the new Batgirl:
1-Lady Shiva
2-Batman
3-Batgirl
4-Azreal
5-Bane
6-Nightwing
7-Cain
I really can't tell from recent events where they would put robin.
MY List would look like this.
1-Batman
2-Lady Shiva
3-Nightwing
4-Bane
5-Batgirl
6-Azreal
7-Cain
I would hope that with all ***** years of experience, he would be able to whoop, the whole middle section of Bane, Batgirl and Azreal. But I've seen Dick do great things, and some really dumb mistakes. Batgirl unfortunatly, they make her too powerfull looking in her book, which makes you ask, hmm, can Batman do this? And sometimes I hate having that feeling. I think we will see some results in a couple of months, because Batgirl is scheduled to fight Lady Shiva. First off, I hope Batgirl Loses, But I also hope Batman intevenes, and beats Shiva. Fat chance huh? Azreal while his character seems to be Fading away, DID defeat Bane. But in the same vein, Batman defeated his whole Rogues gallery in a couple of Nights, while having the flu, and then still tried to Stand up to Bane. That's pretty tuff.
What do you think?
