Welcome to a world without rules:


 * Ra's vs. Meryln: Nolan Villains - A close one, Meryln has a great range advantage with his bow, and can easily keep Ra's at bay being an expert with it. His kunais will also make nice counters to Ra's' shurikens when the fight turns more mid ranged. Despite all this, I am going to give this to Ra's, mainly do to his advantage in close range. While Meryln is young and fit, Ra's is more experienced and trained. His time as a merc and member of the League of Shadows no doubt show that. Additionally, his sword-breaking gauntlets could turn the tide of the fight against Malcolm when it gets close in, being left defenseless against a stealthy, trained assassin won't be good.


 * Barsad vs. Deadshot: Arrow Villains - No contest here. Barsad may be a solidly trained merc and League member, but Deadshot has an experience and tech advantage at his disposal. Barsad won't know what's coming when a bullet strikes his skull from a mile away, and if the fight comes up close, Deadshot's strength and speedy wrist guns will overpower Barsad.


 * The Joker vs. China White: Nolan Villains - Even despite China White's more organized thugs and skill with knife fighting, the Joker will definitely come out on top in the end. White is a compotent fighter and thinker, but the Joker is a madman, a monster. He's not anything like what she'd be used to dealing with. The Joker isn't dangerous as a fighter, he's dangerous as a thinker. He's cunning, he's genius, he's down right cruel and unpredictable, his tactics will eventually overwhelm White and her men. Additionally, at range The Joker has the advantage with his modded Glock, a weapon far superior to White's Lady Smith.


 * Scarecrow vs. Count Vertigo: Nolan Villains - This one's close, both of their thugs are pretty much even in competence, loyalty, and combat skill, so I'm going to focus on the psychos calling the shot. Scarecrow narrowly gets this, and for a couple key reasons that have already been brought up by the other voters. For one, is the Scarecrow's firearm advantage with the Jericho, which has the edge over Vertigo's generic snub nose revolver in almost every regard, packing a better round, a better rate of fire, and a better amount of bullets packing in each magazine. Now let's go to what makes these warriors unique - their drugs, and the Scarecrow takes it again. Vertigo may be able to close in on Crane to inject the needle, but it'd be a dumb move going against someone who can move him down with a better pistol, or spray him in the face at range with a much more easy-to-use, quick, and surprising drug with the fear toxin.


 * Bane vs. Deathstroke: Nolan Villains - Another close one, seeing a trend here. Anyways, Wintergreen will be a tough and worthy opponent for Bane being trained by Slade, but I'm going to give it to Bane. Both are great fighters, and Billy may be skilled with a sword, but he has some disadvantages against Bane that could cost him the match. Bane can disarm him with those gauntlets of his, which could turn the tide, Bane's a hulking, strong, intimidating man with a high pain tolerance, I wouldn't want to be unarmed against him. Though without the sword Billy is still a capable fighter, Bane's afromentioned skills will come into play to help him win.


 * Two-Face vs. Fyers: Arrow Villains - Two-Face may be backed up by Bane's League of Shadow goons, which are better than Fyer's thugs in every regard, I still see Fyer taking out Two-Face. Fyer's capable and compotent, Two-Face is insane and unskilled, so I see Fyer taking Two-Face down, packing the better skills and weapon.

THE DEADLIEST LEGION OF DOOM: THE NOLAN BATMAN VILLAINS! This shouldn't come as a surprise looking at my edges, but even despite them, this is a pretty close (seems to be the word of the day here) match. I think the Nolan Villains will take the cake in the end though, mainly due to their strong and intelligent frontrunners (Ra's, Joker, Bane) and their better thugs in the League of Shadows.
