I think he is a decent fighter, not on league with those guys though
He is pretty damn good, but is more savage than skilled. Besides, he is more of a tracker. He can hold his own with the best, but is nowhere near close to being the best martial artist. Before she left the team, Chesire was the Six's insane hand-to-hand fighter. Scandal seems to have replaced her, though.
Can he beat Batman? It will be a close fight, but neither one would let it be to the death. Someone will interrupt the fight and what-not. As for Nightwing, Catman can probably beat him on a good day. Cap? Hell no. Not many can even stand a chance, much less go to-to-toe. Catman will be destroyed, but not too quickly :P
catman held his own with batman he could beat the crap out of nightwing and aganist cap he wouldn't last long
Catman. I love this guy. As for how good he is, he nearly killed Bronze Tiger, who is an amazingly skilled fighter. But we'll really see in the next issue when he has to fight his own team. I'm so excited.
He held his own vs Batman, he could beat Nightwing, and he could fight Cap. I'm not saying he beats Cap, but he would last longer than these people think.
There's no way Catman could beat Nightwing. Nightwing has been training with some of the best martial artists on the planet since he was 12.
Catman has been "training" (and by training, I mean chilling in Africa with lions and then running around with the Secret Six. No actual training took place) for about a year and a half.
Nightwing is also argueably the best acrobat on the planet. He's in far better physical shape and he could essentially run circles around Catman. On top of that, he's a very experienced and capable tactician, having lead one of DC's premere teams for years, years Catman spent working 9 to 5 jobs while slapping around his girlfriend.
Granted, Catman has inexplicably become a very competant fighter but he's not gonna be able to beat Nightwing. When Bronze Tiger got serious with him, he shattered Catman's defense and beat him into unconsciousness in one page.
He's solid.
On the grand DC scale.....I'd say he's about a 6.

"He held his own against Batman, so he is pretty good to say the least. "
True
but how often does Batman pull his punches against his opponents and when does batman ever fight to inflict near fatal injuries (essentially he is fighting on the defensive) we'll talk about Batman (1&2) vs Catman after I see him fight Jason H2H in a no holds barred fight. Jason will actually fight on a comparable skill level without the moral code of "never take a life".
Even Bane "broke the Bat" after he was completely exausted.
Im not saying Catman isnt good, he fought with lions and lived with them (and seing them up close and personal I cant help but give him his props) but to place him on equal footing that is a bit much.
Same argument with Cap just replace "Jason" with Bucky

Im 50/50 with you on that one:
Nightwing has lead the Teen Titans, the Justice League, and the Outsiders, he is one of the best acrobats in the DCU bar none, and he probably is in much better shape, but in terms of power, ferocity, and close quarters proficiency.
But I can tell you (with confidence) from my experience as a former animal caretaker that you Not going to be able to live with lions and fight with them for years without becoming a "beast" yourself. The fact that Catman wasn't eaten years ago tells you that Catman is far better at close quarters than he is given credit for.
Nightwing likes to "dance" so Catman might not be able to touch him. Nightwing has more range but if Catman gets a hold of him Nightwing doesnt have a prayer catman will eat him alive (metaphorically and quite possibly literally as well.)
In africa he would have to do a lot of walking or he would have become lunch so technically it is not complete PIS, it is feasible
as far as Monsieur Mallah goes he did have a cloak that supposedly gave himn 9 lives so that could also be feasible
He is the best cat related gimmick charecter outside of catwomen,and so re-vamping his charecter was good,it is an example of a mis treated charecter finally being given a fair shake,since his charecter always had potential,ussually in comics the same old played out charecters get shoved down your throut(just like in pro wrestling) but this time they did the right thing and gave the reader something new.
