For me, Batman has this fight won. But not easily.

Lets take a look at the weapons. In short range we have a revolver vs shurikens. Now on the show Batman the animated series, Batman was able to disarm an opponent with a revolver with hs batarangs. However as this is the Nolan Batman he may not be able to do that. Sure he could hit the revolver out of Holmes' hands with any of the Batarangs. Maybe. But hit them in the barrel of the gun? No sir. You'd need some Hathcock accuracy for something like that. But still, with the caliber of Holmes' revolver I can't see it penetrating Batman's armor. Not after only one shot at least. Moving to mid range its a mauser vs various distractions. Like I said before, with the caliber of bullets Holmes' weapons are utilizing, I cant see them getting through Batman's armor. However, Batman's non lethal tactics here will be very useful against his unarmored opponent. In long range, it could go either way. True, Holmes' rifle has the stopping power to penetrate Batman's armor and get at the soft squishy parts underneath. But there is the chance that Batman's sonar emitter could throw off Holmes' game long enough. It did for the police at Arkham. The martial arts could go either way. On the one hand Holmes' speed and intellect could possibly rip an ordinary man to shreds in seconds. However, Batman is no ordinary man. He'd be able to counter what Holmes brings. That's not to say that Batman is perfect though. Morally yes. But physically? No. His knees don't have cartilage and he still may have back problems. Holmes also has problems. He's an alcoholic and smoking those fancy Englishmen cigars won't help your lungs. In special, this is a clear edge to Batman. Those gauntlets can catch swords and then break them. That's what he did in Begins against Ra's Al Ghul. A superior swordsman to Holmes. Now we have the tools of these men. Its safe to say that these men have the best tools of their times. However, Batman in my opinion has the better tools. His grappling gun wil allow him to escape in a tough situation and plan his attack. His armor will allow him to take multiple hits and be able to dish out more. His cape will allow him to glide down and intimidate Holmes (if that's at all possible). And his sonar vision will increase his vision in the dark, and sooner or later, this fight will take place in the dark.

Winner: Batman-He is the deadliest warrior no matter which version. (Except Clooney). Batman will win this because he can take whatever punishment is dealt to him, and deal out more in return.
