Nite Owl:

Nite Owl, also known as Dan Dreiberg was a part of the Watchmen which consisted of himself, Silk Spectre II, Dr. Manhattan, Rorshach, Ozymandias, and The Comedian. After 1977's Keene Act which outlawed all vigilantes except for Dr. Manhattan and The comdeian, Dreiberg retired from the Watchmen along with Silk Spectre and Ozymandias. Rorshach continued to operate despite it being illegal for him to do so. In 1985 however The Comedian is murdered which Rorshach investigates. Eventually Rorshach is arrested and unmasked as Walter Kovacs. Dreiberg and Laurie (Silk Spectre II) decide to bust him out of jail and in doing so return to the roles of Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II. Afterwards Dreiberg and Rorschach uncovered Ozymandias' plan to destroy portions of the world. However he was successful in this plan. Rorschach was going to make the public knowladgeable of said plan, however Dr Manhattan killed him to keep world peace. Dreiberg and Laurie then started a relationship together.



X-Factors:

NO/BM

Intelligence:

97/95

Both men are extremely intelligent. Batman was able to isolate the chemicals in Joker's smilex products and deduce which ones were infected. However, Nite Owl is said to be smarter than Einstein. And the only person smarter than him in the Watchmen was Dr. Manhattan.

Physicality:

78/90

Bruce Wayne kept himself in shape as he had to in order to pursue his war on crime. Dreiberg, while having to do that in his heyday, had simply gained weight since retiring and gave up on excercise.

<p style="text-align:center;">Experience:

<p style="text-align:center;">83/80

<p style="text-align:center;">Nite Owl gets the edge here as he was Nite Owl for a much longer period of time. And even when he wasn't Nite Owl he was able to observe the criminal mind change as the years went by. Batman, by the time of the Burton movie hadn't been Batman for a long time.

<p style="text-align:center;">Training:

<p style="text-align:center;">82/88

<p style="text-align:center;">Bruce Wayne had to travel the world over just to learn the skills needed to become the dark knight. Dreiberg, while he possibly received training from the original Nite Owl, simply doesnt have that same level of training that Wayne has. Battle:
