 The Deadliest Warrior: Arsene Lupin III 
 * Hand to Hand Combat: - While both Lupin and the Batman bring tough hand to hand combat skills which will make it hard for either in a direct fight - I really have to go with Batman on this one. I am not knowledgeable with either warrior here but Batman has shown to be capable of fighting some of the toughest in the DC universe, even holding his ground against the likes of Deathstroke, who can think faster than the average human. Aswell as this, Batman is a master of a variety of hand to hand combats allowing him to switch combat styles where necessary to handle a fight with Lupin, although Lupin will put up tough resistance. Edge -  Batman 
 * Ranged: - While both warriors are bringing effective ranged tools, I have to side with Lupin here. Lupin has proven he is a very talented shot with his pistol and while this is not entirely the whole problem for the bullet dodging Batman, Lupin will make Batman's batarangs useless as he has been able to shoot bullets mid-air, likely meaning he can take out Batman's batarangs before they can harm him. Edge -  Batman 
 * Gadgets: - Lupin got gadgets, plain and simple for me really. Lupin has announced he will be taking an artifact from the Gotham Museum. And that is defintley going to me he'll be preparing himself with lots of bizarre objects for the job, and as Lupin is no idiot, he, like Batman, will be readying up to prepare for the Batman's arrival. Batman's arsenal of gadgets will be useful, and could make the difference, but Lupin is going to be coming prepared for every he needs to get the artifact and get away, and prevent any persuers, even if it means slowing them down, which is all Lupin will need. Edge -  Lupin 
 * Intelligence vs. Intelligence: - I just can't say on this one. These two minds are incredibley knowledgeable and both will be prepared and ready for their objective. Both are going to have plans for eachother and their goals but if I really had to say, I'd would just barely have to side with Lupin on intelligence regarding the plan and preperation of this heist. Lupin is something I think Batman will be abit new with. Batman has dealt with thieves before - but nothing on the scale of Lupin whom has pulled off countless heists with ease before and has done so against police and intelligence services alike. I would have to side with Lupin espically because Lupin is really going to want to be in and out. He won't hang around to fight the Batman because he'll get done over pretty easily, but with Lupin's luck and intelligence, he should JUST be able to pull one over on the Batman and get out.
 * Overall: In summary, it's a close one, and this battle can really go either way but from what I see, I think Lupin has got this by the skin of his teeth. Lupin's creativity, luck and that slightly bit better intelligence regarding this heist should pull him a narrow victory. Lupin will probably be all about getting in and out, and sure as hell not hanging around, but with some slightly better X-factors like intelligence, and similar skills like what Batman has, e.g. both are masters of stealth. Lupin should just pull with off.
