User blog comment:Thundrtri/Collab with Pach! Arsene Lupin III VS Batman/@comment-181289-20130516232258

Okay after looking over the information, I'm not Extremly knowledgable of either, but I do have a decent knowledge of them, and combined with the inforamtion given, I'd give this fight to Lupin in the end for the following reasons.

The Aresenal: There is no doubting Batman's aresenal, it's extremly effective, no doubt. But Lupin's is also affective, but also has a numer of advantages. First the Walther P38 vs the Batarang. In the hands of both warriors these are extremly affective, but the hand gun is quicker on the draw and can get more hits in a shorter amount of time than the batarang, which need to be drawn and thrown. While Batman can use them to great affect with his pure skill level, Lupin is extremly skilled in his own right with his gun. Then there is the fact there is more of a chance the Batarangs will miss becasue there are more subseptible to interferance in flight and becasue they lack the velocity of a bullet, they can be dodge easier than a bullet. While Batman has been known to doge bullets, I'd say that it will be easier for Lupin to Dodge the Batarangs than for Batman to Ddoge the Bullets.

The Bombs: While they are pretty much work to the same affect, Batman mostly uses his explosive to incapcitate or stun his oppoenets. Lupins can do this but carry a potienitilly lethal blast, being "normal" bombs, they could severly injure or even kill the target, I don't think it will come to this, but there is the possiablity to them causing enough injury to stop Batman.

Gadgets: This is sort of a werid area to judge sense not all gadgets are listed, so I'm not gonna spend to much time on it. But Lupin I believe has a better varity, and in the end more surprsiing and less expected than the type of gadgets Batman uses

However, Batman is ahead of Lupin in one area, and that in pure physical combat. He can take one Killer Croc or Bane and win, both who are far stronger than he is, Lupin is good, but I really don't think he is that good. If it goes into hand-to-hand combat, Batman will win. But there is one reason why I think Lupin will win in the end, that stands out above the others in my mind and that is the situation this will happen in. Lupin needs to escape to win, and he is outstanding at that. As great as Batman is, Lupin's entire carrier is based around getting away from the scene of the crime, this is the bases of everything he does, he always get's away, that is why he is the worlds greatest thief, getting in and getting hold of the goods is a great skill and Lupin excels at this, but the ability to escape virtully any situation, is what will win it for him in the end.
