This one's probably been touched on already, but I wasn't here, and I just came to the realization that, in my opinion, they're pretty evenly matched, despite how different their respective backdrops are.  Each gets whatever toys of theirs they can carry to the battle, but no Guenhwyvar for Drizzt and no Batmobile, or any other vehicle, for Batman.  Who wins and why?

Drizzt beats Batman pretty easily. He has more than just Guen, so taking her away from him is the least of Batman's worries. Drizzit is considered the best swordsman of the dark elves and surpassed his father at an early age. The fact he has magical anklets that enhance his speed puts him far and above the human limit in agility and speed to outmatch Batman there. His twin blades are both heavily enchanted as well. Twinkle has a keen(sharp) edge and warns him of danger, while Iceingdeath erupts on contact with an icy blast which would slow Batman's down. That blade also protects him from fire magical or natural. Add on top of this his enchanted armor that he wears for protection Bat's toys to not do too much to him.

Now if you take away all of Drizzt's magical gear then Batman stands a chance, otherwise no Batman loses this fight. Drizzt is not just a dumb fighter, he is a brilliant tactician and could easily match Batman in the brains department if he lived in that type of age.

Drizzt should win here... Andferne gave a great analysis here on the fight

Unless they were given some kind of prep time, then batman wins. However in a straight out fight, Drizzit wins with a little bit of trouble because of the stuff batman carries in his belt. lol

Batman knows how to fight people one hell of a lot faster than Drizzt and the people he has taken down are a darn sight more powerful.

Ras has given Bruce a hard time with a sword. Drizzt is much faster and better.

Using this logic I can go the same route for Drizzt. He has beaten people a lot stronger, faster than Batman. Not to mention various Priestesses, Weapons Masters, Wizards, and various monsters including Dragons. Even the Ghost King, who was a extremely powerful Dracolich, powered by an artifact.

Regardless Batman is a master of stealth and has a tech advantage that easily matches Drizzt's magic, what's to stop him just gassing him while hidden in the shadows? Or just jumping out at him and catching him off guard?

Well, it doesn't state in the OP that Batman will have the opporitunity to go for a stealth strike, so I think that would be a good place to start.

Drizzt is also a master of stealth. In his patrols in the under dark he was point. He can see perfectly in darkness. As for catching him off guard Drizzt is an Elf, well Dark elf. He has enhanced hearing and sight well beyond anything a human has.

Iceingdeath This mighty scimitar is made of blue crystal with cold iron and white mithral inlays. Rubies and pearls are inset into the cross hilt, while a vibrant sapphire forms the pummel. The long, silver shaft has veins of blue quartz running through it. These appear to pulse occasionally, as though the weapon was alive. It is a magical blade with the power of frost. It protects the wielder from fire, and was crafted to combat the denizens of the lower planes. It is also capable of putting out magical and non magical flames.

Twinkle The blade of this mighty scimitar is warm to the touch, and flames have been carved across the surface. The intricacy of the carvings is breathtaking. They are done with suck skill that the sword seems to be burning with metallic flames. Someone must have spent several centuries rendering them. The metal of the blade is unfamiliar, it is light but shines like silver. Garnets and topazes are inset in the cross hilt, while a glowing diamond forms the pummel. This magical blade is extremely sharp with the slightest nick causing a nasty cut. It has the ability to warn its owner of danger and almost protecting him on instinct.

Taulmaril the Heartseeker This magical bow is wonderfully crafted by elves long ago. It has a white finish with leafs carved into dark wood, as well as a silvery string. It's enchantment is to make the arrows fired from it travel faster, making them hit harder. Even being able to pierce armor, and blow holes into people.

Quiver of Anariel This magical quiver seems to never run out of its silver arrows. There are 20 set into it, and each time one is fired another replaces it. When shot from a bow these silver arrows come alive with an electric force, adding to thier already powerful damage.

Anklets/Bracelets of Blinding Strike This pair of mithral anklets may be worn around the wrist or ankles. If worn around the wrists they allow the wearer to strike with uncanny speed. But if worn around the ankles they increase your speed of movements. Makeing you blindingly fast.

Spidersilk Shirt This black armor looks more like a shirt than actual armor. It is light weight and extremely flexable. It has been magically enchanted to help resist slashing cuts made from blades.

Mithral Chain This light weight metal is almost indestructible. It was a gift to him by his long time friend King Bruenor Battlehammer. It's shine never fades, and neither does its ability to protect him from danger.

Drow Traits Drow can naturally see in the dark, and can cast small cantrips. Faerie Fire, Dancing lights, and Darkness. They also have superior hearing than humans and are masters at stealth. The also have a natural resistance to spells and charms. Some spells even have the chance to utterly fail when cast against a drow.

Ranger Traits As a ranger Drizzt is an expert tracker, and can move as swift and silent as the wind. He is a master of fighting with two weapons, and a master bowman. He knows his way around natures creatures and habits as well as the terrain. They almost have a natural empathy with animals.

Doesn't say he can't either.

You're talking about the guy that's managed to stay hidden from Superman, I'm pretty sure Batman is far beyond Drizzt when it comes to stealth.

I'd beg to differ. Drizzt has trained for decades in the art of hiding. His decade in solace in the underdark demanded it, a place where no light ever touches and creatures that can dominate the mind lurk, even beasts that can turn you to stone with but a glance. Of which he has battled and did so blind. Not to mention his other decade of so living on the frozen tundra of Icewind Dale, where each turn could be your last. Running into Yeti or a Remorhav (spelling) or Frost Giants, among many other dangers. Not to mention the natural hazards.

Because of tech. If not, it's purely PIS for Batman to be able to hide from from Superman (when he can hear and see damn near anything). Hiding from Superman doesn't really make him better than Drizzt when it comes to stealth, though.
