Mentality
Dread is a trained killer, Batman will not kill anyone this leaves Batman incapacitation or knock out. (As shown in their movies)
-edge Dread; Batman has to knock out his opponent or incapacitate while Dread just has to kill.
Weapons/Gear
Dread: Electronic gun which fires: AP(armor piercing), HER (high explosive rounds), IR (incendiary rounds), and electronic stun rounds. He also uses a variety of stun, gas, and fragmentation grenades. Dread's armor has a heads up display which feature NVG, camera, and on board computer system, his armors bullet resistance is questionable (he was shot through a wall with an AP round which almost killed him) does seem to be bulk and a bit cumbersome based on the design.
Batman: bataranges; stun, smoke, gas, and explosive grenades; an EMP in his belt; grappling hook; wrist mounted hooks (shown to break a katana into pieces); this is from BB, DK, and DKR. Batman's armor is a full body suit which allows for a high degree of movement articulation, stealth (camouflage at night), no noise profile, is made up off Kevlar and titanium plates (it can stop gun fire exception straight shot probably 7.62 fire proof when batman was doused with gasoline and the suit was relatively intact save the cape, and weakness took penetrating objects between the titanium plates)
-edge Batman: Dreads main weapons could kill Batman but relies on electronics Batman counters this with his emp in the belt before dread could use his weapons (save the grenades). This gives the edge to Batman because of a greater range of usage, they directly counter Dreads, and allow him to utilize the terrain advantage Dread cannot because his HUD is electronic and would be knocked out by the emp.
Tactics/Experience/Fighting skills
Dread: From what we know of Dread he has been on the force for years, has dealt with crazy homicidal killer psychos for years, has patrolled Megablock city for years (which is the size of the entire EAST COAST). He has shown some adaptability in tactics be able to outsmart drug lords and their featless minions, he also been able to out smart his own (corrupt) judges and beat them (it should be noted however that he would have lost to the last judge had the judge not entered into a pointless monolog about his criminal reasons only to be shot by Dreads partner. Overall Dread shows a cowboy lone ranger like mentality towards his opponents with aggressiveness at the forefront, not stupid aggressiveness but one could say at times a bit reckless.
Batman: He does not posses the years of police experience Dread does , however he has more to show for experience (mainly three movies). He has beaten the physically superior Bane in h2h (he did fight dirty by disabling the pain killers to his face however all is fair in love and war, and it shows Batman's ability to adapt to his opponents once he finds out their weakness). Batman put the fear int organized crime in Gotham by beating their cronies and featless thugs, He has beaten multiple highly trained ninja mercenaries from the League of Shadows at the same time, multiple featless thugs at the same time, multiple trained mercenaries at the same time (which have shown the ability to beat highly trained U.S. black ops and SF all be it when they ambush them), Batman has taken out two Gotham SWAT teams, he beat Ras' Al Guel a highly trained mercenary, He beat the Joker who is as crazy as hell with some physical feats to boot (he did kill some nameless thugs in h2h, and has shown some proficiency in h2h against Batman all though not at his level. Batman is considered by most to be a tactical genius and have unmatched deductive reasoning skills, tactical efficiency of using his gear to his advantage and disable his opponent's advantage, he has also shown the ability to adapt to his surroundings and use it to his advantage.
-edge Batman: Batman gets the edge because his gear allows him to disable the advantages of his opponents (Dreads gun and HUD). Batman has shown a greater ability to adapt to his opponents and utilize his surrounds (Dreads upfront cowboy mentality is going to be at a disadvantage for him). He also shown great stealth and has a beater showing of h2h feats then Dread. Lets be honest people Dread has only one movie to show for an in the movie he did not use much h2h. Batman has defeat arguably harder opponents in h2h, Bane, Ra's, Trained league ninjas, trained mercenaries, and not to mention thugs.Batman primarily relies on h2h to deal with his opponents. Dread has beaten crack head thugs and his own highly trained corrupt judges (and he would have lost to the last one of not for a really obvious plot device).
Physicals
Dread: a highly trained cop and looks to be in pretty good shape, can take a bullet and still kick butt, not to mention killer instincts with his gun.
Batman: He has shown the ability to recover from a broken back stronger then before, was trained by the league of shadows to beat multiple opponents in physical combat, has shown the ability to hang toe to toe with his physical beater Bane, Looks to be in great shape. This is Batman in his prime!
-edge goes to Batman: He deals with his enemies mostly in h2h combat, this is batman in his prime, and he has a stronger showing of physical feats then Dread's limited one move and mostly shooting in that movie.
Verdict
Batman wins this though utilization of his gear which takes away Dreads one advantage that probably would have won him the fight (Batman knocks out his gun and HUD with an EMP); it also knock out the street lights too( you can't fight what you cant see rely, plus the terrain in the dark is a batman candy land; plenty of cover cars buildings a fifty feet start off plus all at night thanks to the EMP from DKR). Batman has a higher showing of physical and h2h feats which would seam to suggest that he would beat Dread in a close encounter. Dreads cowboy like mentality might get him into trouble but I think his years of experience on the force would keep him from doing something stupid or unwise. Batman is a master of surprise, his instincts are superb and his utilization of strategy and train will win this one for the Batman. Take in mind this is Batman in his prime none of that oh I miss Rachel and make stupid decisions crap. It will probably be a good fight but i think the Dark night takes this one!
