Round 5: Blk Panther (no enhancements)/Lady Shiva

They are on the same team? if so, then I feel for a stomp. If it would have been individually, Bruce < Shiva, Bruce > T'Challa.

May stop at 3.

@captain_batman_ftw: So... He makes it that far?

Stops at 5.

I dunno if he could take both T'Challa and Shiva.

That's probably too much.

Jmarshmallow

clears.

Gets wrecked at 5. He would beat black panther handily under these conditions as much as I hate to say it (T'challa doesn't have the feats without his enhancements to match batmans physicals, there still close in skill but batman has both the physical and skill edge), he splits with shiva in a one on one fight.

Combined they demolish him.

EDIT: for the record 4 is a toss up. Not touching it.

EDIT 2: Actually 5 hours of rest I'll say he stops at cap.

@_slim_: Yes, he stops at 5. I have always thought Skill > physical shape (unless you're Thor, Superman or heavy hitter like that. Discounting Karate Kid. lol), he'll get through Daredevil's Agility knowing that Batman has seriously injured people with higher rate of agility and Batman is obviously the better fighter.

Bucky Barnes won't be a problem, in fact, if we look at Batman's H2H feats, Bucky doesn't come close.

Elektra nor Black Canary would take him out in H2H, individually, I think they could give him a DECENTmatch, together it would a hard one.

Captain America won't be a problem either, by feats, they are equal in terms of speed, but Captain America's strenght is somewhat above him. I have scans ready up to go where Batman defeats someone by H2H, the guy had a stupid name called Super Gladiator Champion or something (lol) from Batman/Superman #10 where there was growing an entire city inside of Bruce's veins. Super Gladiator Champion was strong and fast enough to run towards Superman and punch him into the ground and breaking the ground they were standing on, after that SGC activated Ray Palmer's shrinkin tech and he bounced out of Bruuce's body and then Bruce started talking about how bad he was on H2H etc etc... Bruce's punches also hurt him and before Superman and Palmer came out of Bruce's body, Batman had already defeated him due to superior H2H and then Superman goes on and says that he didn't think that Batman could take him out on his own.

He stops at 5.

That made me laugh probably more than it should have.

He stops at 5...if Black Panther and Lady Shiva, weren't a team here, then i can see Bruce clearing a few times, but in the majority of the times, he wouldn't clear due to Shiva.

@dagmar_merrill: Invalid

@dagmar_merrill: So he clears?

Stops at 5

Stops at 5

Stops at 3

Stops a Black Panther and Lady Shiva

Stop at 5

@_slim_: barely, but yes.

Why isn't Black Canary higher up? Honestly, she's the one besides Cap and Shiva who's most likely to beat him, even without Canary Cry.

@nickzambuto: Can't blame you, even Superman laughed at that. lol

@mrunsmiley: Really?

People might hate me for this, but I think in a strictly H2H match, Daredevil should be able to beat Bruce. I'm also not sure Bats could take down Cap, he might be way too durable for Bruce's fists.

@_slim_: IIRC she defeated a gauntlet of Shiva-level opponents. She definitely should be higher up.

5

Stops at 1.

Stops at five, but I could see him having quite the trouble with one. He is better than Black Canary, but not by much and I will admit my knowledge about Elektra isn't good, so it depends on her.

3 is debatable either way, personally I think Cap beats Bats, but there is no way he clears with step 5 setup as is.

Considering the fact that Cap and Batman have gone Toe to Toe and it ended in a stalemate, and the fact that Black Panther beat Cap, Black Panther, with a partner would demolish Batman.

Are you talking about the 12 brothers in silk arc?...it was a very fun read, though it had a few inconsistencies, Wildcat for one, was holding his own against those guys, Connor Hawke and Richard Dragon (they have both been defeated by Shiva, though Dragon was holding his own for the majority of their fight) were holding their own against them, as well...i don't know...those guys maybe in the same league as Shiva, but thei're not quite as skilled as her.

I say 5.

He gets wrecked at 5. May stop at 4.

Z'

Stalemate at 4

Clears

Stops at 4.

Can stop at 3, will fight for his life at 4, gets stomped at 5.

Stops at 5.

5 hours rest is heaven for Bruce considering he's been able to fight 28 hours straight.

Stops at either 4 or 5 or ends in... @frisky4

Those were fodder enemies though. I know Bruce has run some pretty intense gauntlets but Steve isn't that far behind him in any category.

Fodder or not, still a great showing of endurance when a normal person would drop from fatigue after the first 10 minutes. 5 hours rest is enough to ensure Bruce is fully rested or near fully rested. These gauntlet fights aren't going to last that long. So unless Matt breaks a bone or two, I can only see Bruce stopping at 5.

Stops at 5.

Stops at 3

Stops at 4

Pre-52 with no gear? Most likely stops at 4, and definitely stops at 5.

Could stop pretty early if he receives some serious injuries since 5 hours wouldn't be nearly enough to heal from it.

Fodder aren't the type of people who would push batman to his limits. Against fodder he can pace himself against these people its harder. Sure batman has other endurance feats but he isn't going to be at his peak by the time he makes it to 4.

In round one yes he outclasses both in terms of skill but black canary does have a stalemate with bronze tiger if thats worth anything, elektra has a showing against wolverine as well, and some pretty decent speed feats. Individuals he would beat either fairly easily but at the same time its a much harder matchup.

He should beat Bucky as well. But honestly Bucky might surprise him with the bionic arm. The arm has superhuman strength so it could probably do a lot of damage if it connected. I think he would have an easier time with this round rather than the last. However Bucky has very loose morals and a super powered arm I can see Bruce taking at least some damage here.

Daredevil is a much tougher fight. There almost even, Bruce is stronger, however going by average showings I would say daredevil is faster. In terms of track record they are both top tier fighters in their verses. And breaking bones isn't a tactic that is beneath daredevil (or batman) so I wouldn't be surprised if batman did end up with broken bones.

By the time he makes it to Steve honestly despite Steve maybe not being as skilled as Matt its not like he is unskilled either. He is going to be targeting roughly the same areas everyone else has been targeting. And its not like batman is going to be completely untouched in this gauntlet. I understand batman has in human will power and pain tolerance, but he has limits. The bruises and whatever other wounds he has are going to add up.

@jashro44: batman compresses an entire nights sleep into 20 minutes or something like that. Resting time isn't gonna be a problem for him.

@jashro44: Honestly, 28 hours fighting fodder >> 10 minutes fighting these guys if we're talking strictly endurance. I agree, fodder isn't going to push Bruce skill-wise, but strictly endurance related, that's a top tier endurance feat. If Matt manages to land a few bone breakers on a fresh Batman, then I concede that Batman stops at Cap. However, I've always edged Bruce above Matt in terms of skill and the case that Matt will break a few bones is possible but unlikely (for the majority at least).

I'm just thinking best case scenario for Batman. And he'd get wasted at round 5 for sure, imo.

He compresses a full nights rest to 3 hours but you are kind of missing the main point. Its not just about sleep and rest. All though fair enough he will be rested between fights. That doesn't mean he will be healed from injuries.

I'm not talking about just endurance though. Fodder don't really damage Bruce. Granted some of the guys did get some hits in at some point but I assume that happened closer to the end. All we really saw on him were a few scratches, a kick to the face, and a whack over the head with a stick (the stick did break). Bruce is going to take more damage fighting the people in the gauntlet.

I mean sure maybe batman does have some endurance and pain tolerance feats but I am sure I could probably find some for Steve to. Especially with the whole dimension Z thing. Sure batman is a tough SOB but so are the others for the most part.... I don't think Bucky, daredevil, black canary, or elektra are as tough as Bruce but I can probably make a case for Steve being that tough. And if he is going up against batman when he is a bit softened up from the other rounds than I think that gives Steve an edge.

Well I was talking about endurance originally, lol.

But fair enough.
