If I'm holding the controller, I'd make it to round 10. MIGHT lose at 11, definitely stop at 12.

@bullet_to_the_head: The fact that people think he gets up to 12 and think he even has a CHANCE of competing with Ra's Al Ghul, Winter Soldier, or Captain America is downright ridiculous and shows how most users on the battle board put more stock in flash and flare then they do in actual feats and competence.

With trailer feats he was stalemating Batman and tagged him with a well placed bullet. I think he can make it to Flash.

@nickzambuto: I agree with you there, however he did give a Good fight to Batman, who would go through this Gauntlet with Relative Ease (Maybe not Flash, but he would beat him)

He can make it to 12. Arkham Deathstroke kind of impressed me in his encounter with Batman when he would mock Batman saying he missed an opening during the fight. So that would suggest he is quite skilled.

I can't believe this is what Deathstroke was reduced to in Arkham Knight. People complained Slade got taken out too early in Origins but at least he had a decent H2H boss battle with some interesting new gameplay mechanics. Here, he just got thrown in to glorify Rocksteady's Batmobile tank battles. That really sucks honestly.

Deathstroke was literally the warm up for an amateur Batman. He was nothing in Arkham, a good rival for John Diggle being their both special forces, but that's at best.

Batman wouldn't get passed round 4 either given he's never ever faced an opponent with the skill or speed of Bronze Tiger, let alone both at once in conjunction with Captain Boomerang's accuracy. Arkham Batman himself at his absolute prime would get slaughtered in round 4; Arkham Batman might be within the top 5 most overrated characters on the vine. I mean who has he beaten? Featless Ra's al Ghul and featless Deathstroke. Wow, I'm so impressed.

I was fine with it. Most people know Deathstroke as Slade from the Teen Titans cartoon who was a Batman wannabe picking on Robin. He would also lose to Arkham Batman. The ones complaining he was taken out so soon are a vocal minority

@the_real_seaman: Arkham Deathstroke is practically featless. His only feats are standing up to Arkham Batman and beating up a couple of goons who didn't even fire a shot. And sure, it may have looked flashy. But the difference between the Arrow-verse and the Arkham-verse is that the Arrow-verse showcases a level of speed and skill that the Arkham-verse simply doesn't have. For example, Arrow characters like Roy and Oliver can take on gunmen directly, something that Arkham Batman cannot do as both feats and statements dictate. Or how about their close combat scenes? In the Arrow-verse, when two skilled people face each other they can literally attack, counter, attack, counter, and repeat for at least thirty seconds (usually more like a minute or two) until someone finds an opening and takes advantage of it. But the Arkham-verse? Usually somebody attacks, Batman makes counters, and that's it. They have to recompose themselves after and try again. There is little to no fighting fluency when Batman faces someone with skill. The only time where's there's been a degree of fighting fluency was when (ironically) Batman faced Deathstroke. There'd be a brief ten scuffle of fighting fluency where Batman might deflect Slade's sword with his gauntlets for like ten seconds, and then we would be back to recomposing ourselves and trying again.

Admittedly, Roy doesn't have as great of a skill showing as Oliver does. But he does certainly have an agility edge over him, and plus he has both standard and trick arrows. Furthermore, Arkham Deathstroke literally has no reflexes feats. At best he can dodge Batman's batarangs in the boss battle, but that's a questionable canonicity. And arrows move faster anyways. There's literally no reason to believe why Slade could dodge an arrow other than "he looks cool". Heck, for that matter, there's really not much reason to believe why Diggle couldn't shoot him. There's a 15 yard distance, there's nobody in the way like there was for the goons, and John Diggle is a very impressive special forces agent with training from Oliver to boot. Certainly better than any goon Arkham Deathstroke has faced. And as for Laurel, Sara, and Huntress? Sara alone is easily one of the most skilled characters in the Arrow-verse, and has taken on opponents who have shown greater skill, speed, and reflexes than Arkham Deathstroke. She alone could take on Arkham Deathstroke quite easily. Never mind the fact that Laurel has the Canary's Cry, which Arkham Deathstroke would have no counter for at all.

The only reason why people have such high regard for Arkham characters like Batman or Deathstroke is because they "look cooler". That's it. But as I pointed out, practically speaking, Arrow-verse characters are better, all-around fighters.

To be fair, Batman characters in the Arkham games are put there for the fan's enjoyment, not to rack up feats for internet battles.

@ninjawarrior268: Yes, I agree completely. I don't mean to hate on the Arkham games or the characters, Rocksteady's design and writing is brilliant, one of the best interpretations of the Batman universe. However, the fact remains that the discussion we are having right now is of a battle, and in battles we need feats. I'm not saying Deathstroke wasn't a very cool and well done character, I'm just saying he doesn't have any battle feats.

@nickzambuto: In one of the cinematics for Origins, Deathstroke kicks Batman hard enough that he flies into and knocks down a shipping container, and Batman appears completely fine afterwards.

Arkham Batman isn't THAT overrated, all things considered.

If I'm remembering right that was a trailer for the game, the fight never actually happened in the game itself. Making it's cannon status questionable at best.

I mean it's about the game and shows the fans what the game might have to offer, it being a trailer and all, but the actual fight that is depicted never happens in the game, or at least it doesn't happen in that particular way. That's what a trailer is.

He gets to round 10. He can beat most of these guys on strength and speed alone.

First off, I want to say this is the best written response I have ever seen. Second, I believe that while short and extremely limited, the battle between Deathstroke and Batman, as well as the trailers for the two will have shown that Deathstroke is more skillful. He is able to attack extremely quickly, and is only defeated by being outsmarted by Batman, who stuns him. I don't believe that any of the characters in the first two rounds have shown such quick combat strategy, or speed that would be required.

@the_real_seaman: Thank you :). But it sounds you're referring to the official cinematic trailer, which isn't canon as that scene had no part of the Arkham Origins storyline.

Makes it to 10, Arkham Batman makes it to 11 or 12. More skilled, stronger and more durable than any live action street leveler (on par with cap). Not even touching their Gadgets. They are simply not human anymore.

I disagree, it's much more of a majority who are displeased with Slade's presence in Arkham Knight being relegated to the tank battle. People were hoping for a rematch as epic as the first boss battle in Arkham Origins, yet all players got was a glorified extension of its tank battle combat.

From what I know Batman in most instances loses to Captain America... Yet apparently Batman is above this super soldier in these forums(really dont know why and just wondering), Deathstroke. So if apparently a high peak human can beat a super soldier idk. DS I guess is a scrub these days if he's below Batman, so he's not beating Cap. Maybe Winter Soldier... But Cap > Batman > DS. Stops after 10.
