After Zero Year how about they do a martial arts story for him? Maybe with Richard Dragon or Lady Shiva?

Hell ya Batman is suppose to be one of the best hand to hand fighters in DC yet he hasnt really gotten a chance to show off his moves court of owls was the closest but even than he had to put on a oneoff suit at the end(which happens alot in the New52) So it would be great to get an arc that isnt about some thing thats going to "CHANGE BATMAN FOREVER" which seems to be the tag line for ever story at DC but to have just a fun story about Batman punching guys like Bronze Tiger in the face would be awsome

Yeah I thought it would have been way cooler in, Court of Owls, if, instead of the suit, Batman just went out there and took them all to school.

@pperspectiveandreality: Well he was beating them up in his bathrobe for a while.

Snyder said he is doing a trinity with batman and we are in the second part right now with zero year. Unless zero year and court of owls were one big part. But anyway, if something like this does happen it wouldn't be anytime soon.

As for the story, it could be Batman's first meeting with lady shiva and bronze tiger or something like that and they could've heard of his skill and wanted to test him so they capture him somehow and remove his belt and suit and take him on to test his skill. And they should actually be trying to kill him. Or maybe have them capture harper row or something so that he has to save her or something to make it at least have a decent story.

By the way, we already got a small piece of his combat training history when snyder showed him fighting in a pit for 28 hours straight against guys trying to kill him with weapons. That takes major skill as well as endurance. I think snyder has shown us more than enough to show off Batman's skill.

First of all, when I first read this I thought you said, "batrobe", which would have been hilarious. Furthermore, yes, I agree but I just think it wold have been cooler if he went out there and just took them on hand to hand.

@pperspectiveandreality: I agree that would've been awesome too

Would be nice

Would be nice.

Yep I am happy with a Batman arc that shows the chop sockey expertise he is famed for.! Too often, for a man who knows 172 martial arts, he seems to struggle in h 2 h!
