Dammit you beat me to it! And yes I the battle's unfair status being revoked Here's the original declaration of unfairness being made on Leo's unfairness blog some time ago: "8. Samurai Jack vs. Batman (DCAU) is not that great of a match-up. I've never been a fan of modern vs. old warriors. Batman has much more modern equipment, and greater intelligence. Also, unless I am much mistaken, Jack's sword is a magical one that only can harm beings who are not pure of heart. In which case Jack won't be able to use his only weapon on Batman." - HaydenStudios

A couple of things wrong with this: 1 - It's not an "Old vs Modern" battle considering how the series of Samurai Jack is actually set in a post-apocalyptic future where you see Jack fighting against robots and stuff like that 2 - I'm sure that Jack has more weapons than just his katana as the blog, as well as Alock's battle which I will get back to in a minute, states. Plus the greater intelligence of Batman (DCAU) can easily be countered by the greater experience and swordsmanship of Jack.

If anyone needs to know, this issue is being brought up because of Alock's recent battle pitting Jack against Sir Daniel Fortesque with an anon poorly pointing out the sword's inability to harm the innocent - forgetting clearly that it is stated to not do that "in the hands of Evil" - and the attempts by me, Skull and Elgb to disprove it. Also as pointed out in a chat discussion with me, Leo, Alock and Cfp - it is difficult to determine who really is "innocent" in light of the sword so there is a slight chance of the sword being able to harm someone "heroic" like Sir Dan or even Batman

Furthermore, I think the battle should be rematched - as Las pointed out in the comments, the battle was written in such a way that Jack and Batman were driven to kill their opponent when characteristically they shouldn't do that; besides, as we all know by now, battles cannot just be "to the death" so if this fight were to be rematched, it would be to see which one gives up the fight and backs off first.

Tl;dr - Unfairness should be revoked on the grounds of Jack actually being a warrior from the future who should actually be able to go toe-to-toe with Batman; instead I call for there to be a rematch since original battle was poorly written
