Ra's al Ghul vs Malcolm Merlyn- Malcolm is younger and very capable at a distance, and is pretty fearsome up close as well. Ra, however, is more experienced and is more capable at close quarters. He has enough skill to not only close the distance, but also dodge arrows. While Malcolm has his sword, Ra's gauntlets will probably make short work of it. While shurikens are poor weapons compared to most other projectiles, they can still hurt and are pretty concealable, plus useful at almost point blank range when you enemy dosen't expect it. Plus Malcolm tries to be intimidating, but Ra's straight forward brutality and undoubtable skill threw even Batman off a little. Plus Ra is pretty good at stealth and planning. I am not saying Ra won't come out unharmed, he might even take an arrow to the shoulder or knee (no joke intended). Malcolm is a tough warrior, but Ra will win thanks to his skill and experiance. Edge- Nolan Villains

Barsad vs Deadshot- In one corner he have a top notch warrior who can use a great deal of firearms to handle most situations, while also probably being prepared for unarmed comabt as well. In the other we have an expert hitman who employs a heavily customized sniper rifle, dual wrist SMG's, which may be top loaded with small or medium caliber bullets, and has also used suppresed handguns. I have to say even as while Deadshot has a limited arsenal he is the superior marksman, but this is countered by Barsad's League training and larger assortment of firearms. Edge- Even

Joker vs China White- Joker gets this. While China is better at combat and has better men for the most part, this is the kind of situation where the Joker excels. First off he knows how to position his men to give him an edge against most foes, such as the SWAT situation for example. Second off, his intelligence and tactics are creative, unpredictable, and usually psychologically damaging, which his men know and fear. China hasn't really fought someone like him before, so she will likely be just as shocked as her back-up. In a one on one situation, the Joker still has some edges, such as his high tolerance for pain, large assortment of back up knives that he always seem to have, and the lead pipe can be concealed up his sleeve. Also his handgun is supperior as it has 33 rounds and is fully automatic, and can mount a suppressor. Plus the Joker is a pretty confident gunman, fireing guns one handed will little care but moderate results. Edge- Nolan Villains

Bane vs Deathstroke- While I like this version of Deathstroke for some reason, Bane dominates here. Even without the gauntlets, Bane could probably break the sword if he was careful. While both may be equals in skill, Bane is not only better suited to unarmed but he also has greater strength and endurance, breaking concrete and human necks with ease. Deathstroke does typical carry a back up knife I believe, but that dosen't make much of a difference. But Deathstroke does have a flaw, which is his blatant arrogance, which will probably be played upon by facing an unarmed foe like Bane. Plus Bane is a better leader all around. Edge- Nolan Villains

Two-Face vs Edward Fyers-  I really don't like this version of Two-Face, not at all. In my opinion he is little more then Jokers big middle finger to society. He isn't much of a gunman, he uses a short range revolver, he relies on his coin (though he can be clever with it at times), he hasn't been operating long, etc. Fyers may not be a super skilled warrior, but he knows how to use a gun, has a better gun, and has been doing this longer. Edge- Arrow Villains

League of Shadows Warriors vs Mercenaries (figured I do a comparison for them).

Handgun- Glocks have more ammo, but M1911 have higher power and reliability. Edge- Even

SMG- The QCW has 50 rounds and has bigger round with armor piercing capabilities, while the Uzi seems to have more range. Edge- Mercenaries

Assualt Rifles- The AK-47 has its obvious advantages, while the G36C has more range and such. Edge- Even

Sniper- Like before, except the SVD dosen't have any real advantage. Edge- League

Overall- THe League has superior training and tactics, but the Mercs numbers and relative training keeps things even for the most part. Bane is superior leader, but this could be hampered by Two-Faces presence while Deathstroke  and Fyers work together for the most part. Edge- Even

Scarecrow vs Count Vertigo- Scarecrow may be my favorite Nolan villain. Anyway, chemical weapon wise Scarecrow has the edge as his has longer range, surprise, not likely to break and can't really be used against him as he has his mask while Vertigo can succumb to his own drug, albet with resistance. Scarecrows firearm is also better as his is magazine loaded, has more range and rounds. Neither has any other notable traits, and Scarecrow takes the most important areas. Both of their back-ups are goons with no notable traits and neither warrior has any particular leadership skills, though neither are dumb or particularly skilled. Edge- Nolan Villians

Overall-  I have to say Nolan Villians. The only real weak links are Two-Face, and possibly Barsad if he fails to keep up with Deadshot. Bane's straight forward tactics, training, and physical superiority, plus Ra's leadership and skill topped with Jokers creativity and brutality.Scarecrows fear gas and superiority  against Count Vertigo adds to this. They will no doubt be able to pick up the slack from their less skilled counterparts. The Mercs will be trouble no doubt due to their numbers, but the League has demonstrated the ability to surpass expectations so long as they have a good leader.

Overall- Nolan Villians
