I love the respect you keep putting on Nightwing, a lot of people don’t know that Nightwing is listed as on of the top ten best hand to hand combat in DC
Yeah because DC doesn’t do the character justice. The toughest we’ve ever seen Dick was in Teen Titans, and that version of the character was a Dick, Jason, Tim hybrid.
Ngl man, u fr had me in the beginning with the Harley Quinn pick😂😂😂 I literally had to step away and have a mini-crashout episode at how completely and utterly ridiculous it was lol🤣🤣🤣
WHAT ???? what do you mean batman isnt an unstoppable human being who can destroy anyone ? Nah fr tho I love when batman gets beat by other characters, bc that shows he is a human, and it shoes he never give up.
I agree some of the best stories are about Batman over coming the odds as a man among gods. Sadly a lot of writers and fans like to make him a Jack of all trades and a master of all. Last Batman comic I picked up had him falling from outer space in his normal Batsuit only to walk it off and hack emotion into a terminator that was beating on Superman a terminator Batman's subconscious built. At this point Batman is just a demi god who by simply existing causes reality to change in his favor.
Yeah when he gets by enhanced people and not other normal humans because that doesn't make any sense he is the best fighter on the planet as a normal human

Some people underestimate Nightwing due to how he can be portrayed in media outside of comics (and in comics as well sometimes), but his skills and abilities are absolutely nothing to sneeze at. He most definitely has a good shot at beating Batman in a fight.

@painvillegaming4119 exactly because if DC were to declare Harley or Joker being masters of martial arts and able to beat Batman or Lady shiva fans would be calling BS. When fans pull the Goku vs Superman everyone who aren't bias would say superman because of stats and there's no argument against that
@@Achieme Don't know why you're bringing up different story matchups on a video about a very specific iteration of the DCU, post Infinite Frontier Comic books only, no pre flashpoint, no Absolute, but sure Goku, if you aren't bias, there's no argument. Like what, so like Post Infinite Frontier Superman only, versus The Monkey King who is trapped in the Phantom Zone? Is that what you mean? You're definitely not referencing the Dragon Ball character in this context. Like, Infinite Frontier Superman beats Dragon Ball Daima Goku, no argument if you're not bias. Must be that guy stuck in the Phantom Zone.
@insupportofjunhado I'm simply referring to main line, if I were to say who would win Flash vs Quicksilver I'm not talking about the movies, video games or alt universe. Just the mainline comics. If I wanted to be specific. I would said who'd win Fox Quicksilver or DCEU flash
My heart literally froze in place when you mentioned Harley Quinn lmao Nah but seriously Nightwing deserves more respect, he’s definitely on Batman’s level, the only reason why he hasn’t properly surpassed him is because progression doesn’t exist in comics and I’m positive if Lady Shiva was created today she’d be called “woke”
@@RyomenAyeni225sadly yeah tho if annoying when they create a flawless character that is the bestest ever But people need to recognize when a character is good and when they're badly writing Shiva is a great character
@ I agree but it doesn’t make a difference to some, I’m convinced by the the way the world is rn that she’d be called woke regardless But yeah, writing matters
Jason honestly should be the gadget guy of the Robins not Tim imo. Dive into the realm of Jason being scrappy and very versatile/jack-of-all-trades That doesn’t mean I think Jason shouldn’t be hyper skilled in combat though, he should just mix gadgets in heavily. Jason has been trained by the best of the best he should reasonably be up there, but DC hates him
Okay, you got me in the 1st choice, not going to lie. Especially when you referenced "Heroes in Crisis" as evidence. All the other choices *chef's kiss*
Another fighter than can likely beat Batman is Green Arrow (Conner). Batman himself said Conner was second to only lady shiva (this was before Cass debut and Richard Dragon returned)
Connor was fighting relative to a weakened damian wayne same damian who thought that even with having the powers of eclipso in his hands would still not beat batman
@@painvillegaming4119I think he made a comment about her being in the Brave and the Bold (delayed) along with oyher batfamily members because comic fans haven't had the luxury of seeing them in movies/live action.
Just a fun fact that I thought about being a avid comic reader but Nightwing has DEFINITELY defeated Batman a lot in recent years now that DC Management has finally decided to push him as one of the pillars of DC. There’s at least handful I can think of just this year alone where they fought and Nightwing either won outright or is winning before the plot demands the fight stopped
@@pocus2740 Canary Cry is just a sonic attack that grants immunity to Sonic Hypnosis and sometimes she can glide with it. It doesn't give her a edge to the fight.

@@ghostrouxinol6169that’s not all the canary cry is it definitely would give her a significant advantage bc she can use it as a attack which can be very destructive, we know it can destroy structures pretty easily if she wants to use it in that way and also she could definitely destroy your ear drums if she wants lol
It's dependent on who the writer wants to win. Lazy. Maybe. But true. Once I found out Squirrel girl was one of the most powerful marvel characters, I stopped caring about who could beat who.
I discovered your videos a few days ago, although I don't know much English (although I put subtitles) I think they are pretty good and you usually say exactly what I think about some things, it makes me feel good since none of my friends like comics, so thank you very much!
I don't consider Deathstroke to a great fighter because his dangerous factor tends to Supersteroids + Near impossible to destroy armor + Gun/Sword + some hand to hand combat skil. Deathstroke isn't a God of Combat. He is a guy that does well in several areas but wouldn't say he is the best or top 5.(He also doesn't many martial arts combats for people in comics.)
Let’s be honest nobody is gonna beat Batman IF he hopped on some of banes juice. Oh the criminals in Gotham think they know fear imagine a Batman the size of bane THAT WOULD BE FEAR! “But that’s just a theory a bat theory”
Im glad you mentioned Nightwing the way they be depicting him in these animated movies is a crime. And to me it makes sense hes Bruce's best student and protege with his own unique twist on combat due to his agility and acrobatic skills, he should give Bruce a run for his money. Pls make a part 2 I'd like to hear what other characters youd put on this list. For me I'd include Black Canary and Bronze Tiger as well
I think ever since Dick tanked a point blank bomb and then proceeded to beat Deathstroke 1v1 no gadgets just hands...he's arguably better than Batman. Not saying for sure but there is a conversation to be had at least.
That Harley Quinn Section gave me a small heartattack I remember in the comic where Wally West became a murderer, Superman says that her martial arts are on par with Bruce ... for some reason Now Clark's my goat but that shit was not it, Bottom 10 Superman moments of all time
Tbh I don't think many people want to watch Batman just lose. They want to see him lose, learn from it, and then grow to beat the opponent later on. Batman can beat anyone for the sake of the story, not for Stan Lee's reasoning but because otherwise people wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. It's simply catering to the desires of the readers.
@@painvillegaming4119 I don't mind. For example, the hero ranking in One Punch Man. I like it. There are some things that exceed some heroes and they will never stand a chance. You got a S-level villain? Better get a S-level hero.
@@painvillegaming4119 it is when you’re tired of them being wanked as a god 24/7/365. No more Batgod. That shit was never good and it never should’ve been a thing, but I don’t control anything. DC will just suck off their cash cow until they can’t anymore.
weight and strength in this video matters a lot tho, even if skills were equal, the bigger opponent wins. So if you're saying Lady Shiva kicks Batman's ass, it means her skills must be way beyond Batman in order to overwhelm his strength advantage
I think Cass is the best technical fighter. If one was limited to only martial arts and confined to a limited space she'd have the best odds. Nightwing is better than the others because his agility and optimized version of batmans teachings makes him the oddest opponent in this apex field of combat. I'd imagine even Cass couldn't dismantle him the way she does the better trained fighters because he'd be the oddest to predict.
I really love the list you came up with (though the Harley bit got me for a hot sec I was genuinely like damn what have I been missing in the current comics ???? LMFAO 💀) and how in depth you go with each character. Love the rep for my girl Cassandra and for Nightwing ♥ and it was cool to learn about Ghost Maker !!
The problem with fights in comics is that the fights depends on the plot, Batman have lost in fist fight agains't the Riddler and even Harley, like, sometimes he beat Shiva, Cassandra and Deathstroke, them in the other, he is beat up by Punchline, is juts like Superman, being evenly matched with Doomsday and Darkseid, but then being beat up by Grundy, the same Grundy who is beat up by members of the batfamily, the dude in recent comics even beat up Donna Troy, he dind't win the fight, but made her bleed and have a hard time, comics have a hard time in power scaling their heroes, because if they are too strong the story ends quickly, but if they nerf them too hard, we have things like Batman losing agains't Punchline.
You forgot Kyodai Ken, Batman’s old classmate. He beat him at everything, even when he came back as an an adult in the anomated series episode “Day of the Samurai”.
Nice video Shiva Cass Dickie And like you said in an all out serious fight just martial arts Cassie and Shiva wins 7 out of 10 times Dick wins 4 or 5 currently Ghostmaker is a no for for two reasons 1. Even though bruce said they're equals he also did say he hasn't beaten him since they turned 20 2. In the alternate universe where batman went after the failsafe arc there was a ghostmaker there amped by venom and had the same amount of training as prime Bruce and Ghostmaker but our bruce dogged him easily. Fun fact: thats where he lost his hand at first. But great video, sorry for ranting
To be fair, Batman has already beat these characters. Batman knows every system of fighting. As good as these characters are, they simply don't compare to Batman at his best. TERRANCE OUT
@LegendaryOverfiend Batman has defeated Deathstroke before too. Mentioning that a character has been defeated, doesn't matter if it happens alot. TERRANCE OUT
@@worldsfinesteamup Yeah but he still wins more then he loses thats my point lol. I can beat my friend in a game 3 out of 10 times but that doesn't make me better thas all im saying
I will argue it be Cassandra Cain. Batman aka Bruce Wayne he said if she stop holding back that their wouldn't be alot people who could stand toe to toe with her.
I still think that he would wreck anybody on this list when he fights how he likes, by using gadgets, trickery, and deception. Whats Lady Shiva gonna do when she gets backhanded across the face with an electric gaunlet
@LanceLee-dh5pc Saying that Lady Shiva's fight would be easy, it's the same as saying fighting Batman is an even easier fight. Sandra Wusan doesn't fight for fight. A fight means that one of them will die. Cassandra Cain and Batman likely have the same years of experience. Not to mention that while Batman was learning other fields, Cassandra was fully focus on combat and assassination. (Yes she won't kill anybody alike Batman.) But the fact she already skilled at young age and not in her peak of her prime like her mother, shows how skilled she is. I don't know about Ghost. But I can say that Nightwing is the closest in terms how Batman fights. Not just as combat but as combination of skills and tech support. But I think Dick can give Bruce a fight for his money. He is also the character that likely knows Bruce the best. Since it's likely that he knowing for 10-20 years and he fought a long side him for 5-10 years. I amn't saying this characters would have 100% win rate against him but it'snt 0.
His tech and gadgets aside a lot of people forgets a lot of stuff about bruce and doesn't mention it, first of all canonically bruce always holds back it's official by DC by the way, second bruce has learnt a lot of alien martial arts including klurkor kryptonian martial arts which he used to knockout supergirl in world's finest and all martial arts in slag galaxy in offworld series and recently he learnt all of damian's new moves in batman v robin lazarus event, dc just want to add tension so they have to show batman struggle against guys like shiva and cassandra otherwise it would be bloodbath, cause in zdarsky's run bruce almost soloed the entire batfamily while he was mentally unwell and said that he didn't teach them everything he knows which most likely means stuff like his alien martial arts and some other stuff which we don't know about.
Unfortunately DC hates our boy. He’s rarely/sparsely shown out in the years the same way he did in Under the Red Hood Bro was young as hell in UTRH forced Bruce to not hold back, and then ever since hasn’t grown beyond that really
*Batman becomes evil and the only ones who can stop him are the Robins* Grayson:I can defeat him in a fight Tim:I can use my mind to defeat him. Jason:I can use my gun. *•••* Grayson:Uhg, for the love of god Jason:What? We have to stop him, I am just using the fast way! Grayson:You just, uhg, he, you, ahg, he can dodge a bullet, what you gonna when he dodges the bullet? Jason:Well am, if that doesn’t, Im gonna use… 2 GUNS!, and if that doesn’t work either well, use more guns until one hits him I don’t know. Grayson: …Sometimes I, I hate you. Jason:Yeah me too.
I agree with everything you said in the video, but if you’re gonna powerscale Batman ( or any comic book character for that matter) I feel like you have to include the older comics as well
I have bo problem with him staying in current continuity BUT he uses pre Infinite Frontier examples to prove his point. Its usually just a shield because folks who have read older books know that Batman wasn’t OP like hes been since the 90s.
@ me personally, I feel like he’s being a bit unfair towards Batman, also, if we’re gonna talk about recent books I think in a 2022 DC guidebook it said nightwing is second only to Batman
Writers definitely play a factor in that department. Nightwing is underrated amongst fans and even DC itself. The animated use mirroring New 52 was hard to watch when Nightwing kept being disrespected in fights lol.

Pls make a part 2 I'd like to hear what other characters youd put on this list. For me I'd include Black Canary and Bronze Tiger as well
I think ever since Dick tanked a point blank bomb and then proceeded to beat Deathstroke 1v1 no gadgets just hands...he's arguably better than Batman.
Not saying for sure but there is a conversation to be had at least.
Stop it
@@quentinglover1907he is though, Dick > Bruce
He's fought Slade so many more times than Bruce has, it's only natural that he would know him and how he fights better than Bruce
They're equal
Deathstroke was nerfed from being under pariahs controll
He almost got me on that harley quinn joke
That Harley Quinn Section gave me a small heartattack
I remember in the comic where Wally West became a murderer, Superman says that her martial arts are on par with Bruce ... for some reason
Now Clark's my goat but that shit was not it, Bottom 10 Superman moments of all time
Heroes in crisis? Yeah that's Tom king for you.
Heroes in crisis was a crack pipe comic bro it doesn't exist it ruined a lot of characters for shock value
love to see you collab with the batspecter sometime it will be so cool watching you two glaze batman
Tbh I don't think many people want to watch Batman just lose. They want to see him lose, learn from it, and then grow to beat the opponent later on. Batman can beat anyone for the sake of the story, not for Stan Lee's reasoning but because otherwise people wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. It's simply catering to the desires of the readers.
@@BakuGone it not fun to see your heros get they're ass beat if they're don't get a rematch
@@painvillegaming4119 I don't mind. For example, the hero ranking in One Punch Man. I like it. There are some things that exceed some heroes and they will never stand a chance. You got a S-level villain? Better get a S-level hero.
@@KamenKami yeah but anime and comic are different
Especially characters like Batman who is the main character of his book
@@painvillegaming4119 it is when you’re tired of them being wanked as a god 24/7/365. No more Batgod. That shit was never good and it never should’ve been a thing, but I don’t control anything. DC will just suck off their cash cow until they can’t anymore.
Bro, the Birds of Prey pictures u showed are well-drawn hentai without actually being hentai😂
weight and strength in this video matters a lot tho, even if skills were equal, the bigger opponent wins. So if you're saying Lady Shiva kicks Batman's ass, it means her skills must be way beyond Batman in order to overwhelm his strength advantage
Batman is the best hand to hand combat and the only thing is that he holds back his punches if he didn't everyone dies
Nice joke, but no.
If you were to go by the DC animated movies then you would think that Nightwing is ass😭
your videos are getting me through some tuff times rn thank you bro i appreciate the vids
I think Cass is the best technical fighter. If one was limited to only martial arts and confined to a limited space she'd have the best odds.
Nightwing is better than the others because his agility and optimized version of batmans teachings makes him the oddest opponent in this apex field of combat. I'd imagine even Cass couldn't dismantle him the way she does the better trained fighters because he'd be the oddest to predict.
U're almost got me with that Hayley pick man,ALMOST.
Hey, you said post Infinite Frontier, New 52 is now Earth 52, so it doesn't count!
I need Wildcat to get more notoriety in comics again, dude hasn't done anything for years
Batman was exposed to Dionesium. This healed all past injuries and increased his physical abilities.
I really love the list you came up with (though the Harley bit got me for a hot sec I was genuinely like damn what have I been missing in the current comics ???? LMFAO 💀) and how in depth you go with each character. Love the rep for my girl Cassandra and for Nightwing ♥ and it was cool to learn about Ghost Maker !!
Great video chief
The problem with fights in comics is that the fights depends on the plot, Batman have lost in fist fight agains't the Riddler and even Harley, like, sometimes he beat Shiva, Cassandra and Deathstroke, them in the other, he is beat up by Punchline, is juts like Superman, being evenly matched with Doomsday and Darkseid, but then being beat up by Grundy, the same Grundy who is beat up by members of the batfamily, the dude in recent comics even beat up Donna Troy, he dind't win the fight, but made her bleed and have a hard time, comics have a hard time in power scaling their heroes, because if they are too strong the story ends quickly, but if they nerf them too hard, we have things like Batman losing agains't Punchline.
There's context to almost every single one of those fights but I get your point
You forgot Kyodai Ken, Batman’s old classmate. He beat him at everything, even when he came back as an an adult in the anomated series episode “Day of the Samurai”.
im geuinly conviced everybody on this list would loose to the adam west batman
@@jakebraz3265 Cass and Nightwing would love that version of their dad
@painvillegaming4119 he would love them to 100% when asked if dick was his son Bruce said " no but if he was I would be proud of call him my son"
Nobody here beats him bro lol
And he is a genius
Yo! Bronze Tiger!
Nice video
Shiva
Cass
Dickie
And like you said in an all out serious fight just martial arts
Cassie and Shiva wins 7 out of 10 times
Dick wins 4 or 5 currently
Ghostmaker is a no for for two reasons
1. Even though bruce said they're equals he also did say he hasn't beaten him since they turned 20
2. In the alternate universe where batman went after the failsafe arc there was a ghostmaker there amped by venom and had the same amount of training as prime Bruce and Ghostmaker but our bruce dogged him easily.
Fun fact: thats where he lost his hand at first.
But great video, sorry for ranting
To be fair, Batman has already beat these characters. Batman knows every system of fighting. As good as these characters are, they simply don't compare to Batman at his best.
TERRANCE OUT
Im a deathstroke hater but hes still beaten batman most of the time so....
@LegendaryOverfiend Batman has defeated Deathstroke before too. Mentioning that a character has been defeated, doesn't matter if it happens alot.
TERRANCE OUT
@@worldsfinesteamup Yeah but he still wins more then he loses thats my point lol. I can beat my friend in a game 3 out of 10 times but that doesn't make me better thas all im saying
@LegendaryOverfiend Like I said, Batman has defeated Deathstroke multiple times.
TERRANCE OUT
@@worldsfinesteamup that's like dropping the mic only to return to pick it up and answer
I will argue it be Cassandra Cain. Batman aka Bruce Wayne he said if she stop holding back that their wouldn't be alot people who could stand toe to toe with her.
I still think that he would wreck anybody on this list when he fights how he likes, by using gadgets, trickery, and deception. Whats Lady Shiva gonna do when she gets backhanded across the face with an electric gaunlet
We are talking about a fair fight. No powers, no gadgets, no help and just combat.
@ghostrouxinol6169 and I'm saying that if he were to fight any of these people on his terms it wouldn't be much of a fight
@LanceLee-dh5pc Saying that Lady Shiva's fight would be easy, it's the same as saying fighting Batman is an even easier fight. Sandra Wusan doesn't fight for fight. A fight means that one of them will die. Cassandra Cain and Batman likely have the same years of experience. Not to mention that while Batman was learning other fields, Cassandra was fully focus on combat and assassination. (Yes she won't kill anybody alike Batman.) But the fact she already skilled at young age and not in her peak of her prime like her mother, shows how skilled she is. I don't know about Ghost. But I can say that Nightwing is the closest in terms how Batman fights. Not just as combat but as combination of skills and tech support. But I think Dick can give Bruce a fight for his money. He is also the character that likely knows Bruce the best. Since it's likely that he knowing for 10-20 years and he fought a long side him for 5-10 years.
I amn't saying this characters would have 100% win rate against him but it'snt 0.
@ghostrouxinol6169 yeah that's fair
His tech and gadgets aside a lot of people forgets a lot of stuff about bruce and doesn't mention it, first of all canonically bruce always holds back it's official by DC by the way, second bruce has learnt a lot of alien martial arts including klurkor kryptonian martial arts which he used to knockout supergirl in world's finest and all martial arts in slag galaxy in offworld series and recently he learnt all of damian's new moves in batman v robin lazarus event, dc just want to add tension so they have to show batman struggle against guys like shiva and cassandra otherwise it would be bloodbath, cause in zdarsky's run bruce almost soloed the entire batfamily while he was mentally unwell and said that he didn't teach them everything he knows which most likely means stuff like his alien martial arts and some other stuff which we don't know about.
If I remember isn’t the list to who’s the best fighter in the Batfamily mess up because is saids best in Earth 1 where none of them exist yet.
Are we going to talk about Tom King ranking? No? Good.
Nope that guy wrote thomas wayne soloing the bat family
Nah he disrespected my GOAT Tim
Tom King said riddler is smarter than Batman. The guy is obsessed with taking Batman down a peg.
8:55 you outta pocket 😂😂😂
I think you missed one. Prometheus is basically like taskmaster and he can copy fighting styles. He’s like the reverse flash of Batman
He only has fighting skills due to his helmet which can be hacked to downgrade his fighting skills to that of Stephen Hawking
I wish they didn't hate Red Hood so much. Because i think if he was actually properly written, then he would definitely be in top 5.
Should be, but unfortunately won’t be more than likely
@gabebartlett9680 good thing we have a damn good fandom for him.
If they don’t have superpowers they can’t beat him
I was about to quit this video after that first part about harley
As a certified Red Hood Glazer, I unfortunately agree w this list.
Unfortunately DC hates our boy. He’s rarely/sparsely shown out in the years the same way he did in
Under the Red Hood
Bro was young as hell in UTRH forced Bruce to not hold back, and then ever since hasn’t grown beyond that really
@@gabebartlett9680 peaked in high school
1:43 Dc: we have iron fist at home 😂
*Batman becomes evil and the only ones who can stop him are the Robins*
Grayson:I can defeat him in a fight
Tim:I can use my mind to defeat him.
Jason:I can use my gun.
*•••*
Grayson:Uhg, for the love of god
Jason:What? We have to stop him, I am just using the fast way!
Grayson:You just, uhg, he, you, ahg, he can dodge a bullet, what you gonna when he dodges the bullet?
Jason:Well am, if that doesn’t, Im gonna use… 2 GUNS!, and if that doesn’t work either well, use more guns until one hits him I don’t know.
Grayson: …Sometimes I, I hate you.
Jason:Yeah me too.
bro, issue more!
Jesse we have to issue
Batman has more feats than anyone in there
I agree with everything you said in the video, but if you’re gonna powerscale Batman ( or any comic book character for that matter) I feel like you have to include the older comics as well
I have bo problem with him staying in current continuity BUT he uses pre Infinite Frontier examples to prove his point. Its usually just a shield because folks who have read older books know that Batman wasn’t OP like hes been since the 90s.
@ me personally, I feel like he’s being a bit unfair towards Batman, also, if we’re gonna talk about recent books I think in a 2022 DC guidebook it said nightwing is second only to Batman
Bronze Tiger, Human Black Adam, The Help
Writers definitely play a factor in that department. Nightwing is underrated amongst fans and even DC itself. The animated use mirroring New 52 was hard to watch when Nightwing kept being disrespected in fights lol.
i’m just waiting for the upcoming tweets about the title
Ghost maker and his charecter and backstory reminds me of night of the ninja and day of the Samurai from btas
0:31 Harley thinks she on the team😂😂
The title makes it seem like they be clapping cheeks LOL
Nightwing is also a eugenics project by the court of owls, so he is literally born to be a great fighter and the best of all Talons.
Nightwing, never.
Bane.
3:22 I'm just sad that THIS is what Harley has come too I GET it's out of continuity but cane we do something meaningful with her
Bro had me TWEAKING with that Harley piece 😭
Always making 🔥 vids.
