Battles take place here:

Round 1: Healed and rested between rounds.

Round 2: No healing or rest between rounds.

Round 1

1. Bruce. Michonne has no formal training to my knowledge
2. Bruce. Bruce has more training
3. Can't answer. Don't watch Marco Polo
4. Can't answer. Don't watch Rome
5. I think this could go either way but I'm pulling for Bruce
6. Can't answer. I need to rewatch Troy
7. Can go either way but I'm pulling for Bruce
8. I think Jamie got this one.
9. Is this book Aragorn or movie Aragorn? Bruce would beat movie version, but it could go either way if its the book version.

Round 2

Without resting, Bruce would probably last until match 3-5. I say this because I don't know Opponent's 3 and 4's skill level with a sword.

Stops at 5 or 6 probably

Lol bruce had problems with dogs... DOGS , while maximus took out lions

@mrshway88: i highly doubt bruce is beating aragon considering aragon has way better durabilty and stamina and fighting enhanced troops

@comicsrulebutdbzdoes2: I was unsure when choosing a winner for that round. I feel Aragorn in the movie was not giving the chance of really showing off his swordsmanship against someone like Bruce. His battle against the Uruk hai showed he can overpower an opponent who is stronger. He also shows resourcefulness against the Nazgul but I don't remember him fighting a tactician on Bruce's level. I am not saying Bruce will win hands down but it would be close. I personally think Bruce can beat him.

Stops at 5.

Definitely doesn't make it past 5 & could lose before .

Stops at 3

No, he really doesn't.

Batman trained with stealth and katanas. He should shred through most of anyone who has a heavier sword.

I'd say 5 but that's a gamble.

@rogueshadow: I appreciate the use of a Marco Polo character, watching the show as we speak. It's reviews are so inaccurate it's not even funny.

He probably stops at Hector, who should be higher than GoT Jaime, and would also fall to either Sandor or Aragorn.

Higher than GoT Jaime, but not amalgam GoT/ASoIaF Jaime. In the book, Jaime cuts his way through Robb's army and nearly gets to Robb himself, slaughtering three of his personal guards before he is finally taken down, this is despite being taken by surprise by Robb's army too. Plus given the advantage of full plate which they all wear in ASoIaF, I think it's fair to put him above Hector.

Hundred Eyes is a character I'll probably use more on the battle threads, he's a bamf, he has some really cool scenes throughout the show.

@rogueshadow: Ah didn't realize it was book Jaime. Very well.

Hundred Eyes is freaking awesome, I want to see more of him.

Where is Conan?

You will, he has some of the best scenes in the show.

Also, what do its reviews say?

@rogueshadow:

Below 50% across the board. The main complaint was that apparently nothing happened and it was far too slow to be enjoyable, and there were just loads of snarky jokes about things that are more fun to watch than Marco Polo because of it's pacing.

What I think the reviewers didn't account for was that it isn't a TV show - it's a neflix show. You know, the official app for binge watching entire seasons of shows? What may be slow from month to month on TV is average for someone who plows through season 1 of most shows in a day. I appreciated the amount of time put into exposition, character development, and the fantastic cinematography. Not to mention the action scenes are choreographed very well and can be pretty gruesome at the best of times.

Pretty underrated show IMO, I think it just became "cool" to hate on it for most reviewers. They all say exactly the same thing.

@i_like_swords: Wow...I think it's a really good show, can't wait for season 2. I totally agree, I think we're gonna see a lot of old school critics complaining about pacing moving forwards into the binge watch era, it's a completely different method of story telling that requires completely different pacing, they are closer to being a 10 hour movies than TV shows, they are going to have to accept that. I'm still really surprised though, I thought this would have been really well received, I was never bored watching it. Some of the fight scenes have better choreography than anything seen on TV and better than 99% of choreography in western films.

I crushed him, saw him driven before me and heard the lamentation of his women.

Touche.

6 or 7 could stop him. He isnt clearing this.

I don't know a lot of the people on this gauntlet, opponents 4-7 what are their feats?

Spoilers ahead.

This is Titus Pullo:

He has a few other fight scenes I couldn't find clips for, but it's basically more of the same.

You should watch Gladiator, Troy and Rome, they are awesome.

@princearagorn1 - You tagging me reminded me of you.

Any fight past 4 is up in the air. I don't think anybody has a clear advantage over him, except Aragorn. Aragorn whoops him and everyone here 10/10.

With no weapons?

I'm more familiar with some characters here than others, but here's what i think anyway. Bruce can definitely beat Michonee and Thea, for the same reasons, most importantly his pretty extensive skills and the fact that they lack the advantage of being more ruthless, seeing as this is a morals off fight. Bruce can probably beat Kublai,as he's more physically capable and he can at least match Kublai's skill with a blade. I'm positive, however, that he can't beat Maximus, because the general is much more skilled with a sword, has far more experience in various combat situations, from the battlefield to the arena, and he'd probably go for the kill sooner even with Bruce being morals-off, and, backtracking a bit, Titus essentially being diet-Maximus i'm pretty sure he could beat Bruce under these conditions, with more difficulty than the general.

If Bruce did get to fight the next few opponents this is how i think it would go. Hector would beat him, because he has more skill and experience with a sword, with battles, with killing, etc, same reasons Maxmimus would beat him, really. Both Thrones guys have difficult armour to get around, and Jaime is skilled enough to beat Bruce in a sword fight without it, although if Bruce played it smart he might be able to beat Sandor, but, again, only if armour wasn't a factor. Aragorn, however, embarrasses Bruce in any fight where Bruce doesn't have his suit and every single one of his Bat-gizmos.

I'll be back for my response on this one

5 or 6.

I wouldn't be surprised if he stops at 2. I recall more impressive swordsmanship from Thea than I've seen from Nolan Batman...

Im not familiar with step 3 or 4.

Thea beats him
