BeastMan14's "You should really try this lemonade." Edges

H2H Skills: Terry McGinnis. Old Batman's melee combat skills are nowhere near what they were in his youth, and he tended to rely more on overpowering his foes than he did actually outfighting them, a tactic that has backfired horribly in the past. On top of that, his suit greatly restricts his mobility, but more on that later. Terry McGinnis, on the other hand, has taken what he's learned to create a fighting style all his own, and he'll be able to move and hit far faster and with more skill than Old Batman will.

Stealth Skills: Terry McGinnis. Even without a loud, heavy suit impeding his movement, Old Batman's stealth skills are rusty, as evidenced during his final fight with the Joker in the Hall of Mirrors. Terry's a master of using stealth to get the drop on his foes, and his suit even contains a camo function that grants him even more stealth options.

Batarangs: Terry McGinnis. Simply put, Terry's packing far more options in this category thanks to his larger variety of batarangs when compared to Old Batman's just one, which I doubt he'd be willing to be as brutal with when fighting the heroic Terry. After all, his two most famous acts of batarang brutality (gouging out the Joker's eye and slashing up Lex Luthor's face) only happened because he had been pushed over the edge by their horrific crimes. With his batarangs, Terry can slash up the armor, shock it, and even put some major dents in it with the explosive batarangs.

Gear: Old Batman. With the exception of the electric shock, which had to be plugged in order to be used, Old Batman is bringing in a far more dangerous arsenal. Between explosives that level buildings, fear gas-laced smoke pellets, and the gamebreaking, Superman-slaying sonic cannon, Old Batman's gear is built for a far harsher war than Terry's is.

Suits: Even. Old Batman's suit may greatly enhance his strength and durability, meaning he'll be able to give and take a greater pounding than Terry will, but there's just one problem, and that's crippling overspecialization. Old Batman's suit was designed to go toe-to-toe with Superman in a punching contest, and it greatly limited much of it's speed and mobility to do so. While his suit did a great job of fighting the Man of Steel, I doubt Old Batman will be able to keep up with as agile as Terry. Terry's suit might not protect him as well as Old Batman's does, but it's bringing far more options into this fight. His adhesion, flight, and camo will enable him to hit Old Batman from all angles, while his electrical shock weapon doesn't need to be plugged in to be effective. Terry's most useful tool is his connection to the Batcave, meaning he'll be able to communicate with that other Old Batman and get strategies and plans of attack he might not neccessarily thought of. This comparison is simply one of power vs versatility.

X-Factors: Old Batman. Average of 87 for Terry, average of 88 for Old Batman. Old Batman takes this edge because he's smarter and more brutal, though I wouldn't underestimate Terry's physicality and equipment.

Deadliest Warrior: Terry McGinnis. This one's close, but Terry's going to pull through by the skin of his teeth. While Old Batman's armor is a godsend, and he's packing some truly devastating equipment, I just think Terry's greater mobility, versatility, and physicality will enable him to outmanuver and whittle down the OG Caped Crusader. Overall Score: 504-496
