    Nite-Owl is a good character but he does not come close to comparing to Batman

    Nite-Owl was only good (IMO) in the movie. In the comic, he was lame as hell and did almost nothing.

    Batman, FTW.

    There are several points you need to consider when you think about this question... You have to first consider the fact that Nite Owl is a character based on Batman..    Even the writers of the original comic say this.  So it is sufficient to say Batman wins on that aspect.  He was original, nite owl was the second.   Copies as we all know are never as good as the original. 
     
    The second point we have to look at is, fighting ability..   Who is the better fighter?  
     
    Bruce Wayne was classicly trained in several different forms of martial arts.  He has a mentality that more closely resembles Rorschach, only not quite a psychotic, and murderous.  He is not clouded by moral judgements that hold Dan Drieberg back.  It has been shown that he can in some ways dissassociate while fighting, which is something that Dan could never do.  However.   Dan is encumbered by his own inabiity to step out of the moment and become the hero he needs to be.  He doesn't understand the fact that he can not be  "soft" ..    Batman clearly wins in the fight aspect..  So again batman is on top.
     
    Finally, you gotta think of one other thing....   Batman already stomped the piss out of Owlman...  Who obviously is the same thing as nite owl...
     
     Batman Wins

    I think Night Owl could beat Batman at Battleship, horseshoes, Duck Hunt for the original Nintendo, Trivial Pursuit (1985 edition) or Sorry, 
    but not Monopoly, Rock-Paper-Scissors, Hop-Scotch, Thumb Wars, Donkey Kong, Street Fighter II Turbo, Operation, Uno, Life, Dance Dance Revolution, Scrabble or a fist fight.

    Batman wins. Nite-Owl is smart and a good fighter. He may know i form of martial arts well while Batman has 127 styles under his utility belt . Gadgetwise probably about equal. Batman is a peak human athlete;Nite-Owl is above average stregnth. Batman has so many branches of intellect to explore ; Nite-Owl has Aironomics,bird study,and was interested in mythology,he also is an ok leader. Batman is the World's Greatest Detective,has mastered chemestry,computer science,physics,engineering,criminology,can speak fluent Spanish,German,Cantonese,Mandarin,Kryptonian,English duh,French,and more. Batman outranks Nite-Owl in intellect ,too.

    Batman would trump Nite-Owl any day of the week.  That said, I'm stil a fan of the character and chuffed with the movie interpretation.
