User blog comment:Marcus Forelli/Batman (Nolanverse) vs Sherlock Holmes/@comment-4484220-20130329203153

This is a really easy win for Batman.

To be honest, we hardly ever see Holmes carrying around any guns in the recent movies. Even then, I'm pretty sure that any non-stationary ones from back in his time wouldn't be able to get through Nolanverse Batman's armor, so those will be pretty useless to him. I'm really not seeing anything Sherlock Holmes can do to try and counter Batman's cutting-edge 21st century gadgets.

I disagree with your comBAT experience x-factor. Sometimes, amount of time is not the best indicator for this value, but rather a combination of the amount of time spent in days of combat, and what things were experienced during that time. Sherlock has demonstrated some pretty good fighting skills and relied on them heavily in bringing criminals to justice, but much more emphasis was put on deductive skills, something that generally isn't as large of an advantage as strength and training. Batman has been through far more dangerous and tramatizing situations than Holmes, as well as fought far more fearsome villains.

I disagree with your stealth x-factor. Batman has adopted the darkness, learned to blend in with it, and can suddenly pop out of nowhere and surprise his enemy. That is the definition of stealth. Sherlock's disguises are good, but with a disguise, you're still out in the open, and it's over if someone recognizes you. Batman takes this in stealth.

If the two warriors go into hand-to-hand combat, this fight isn't going to last very long. I'm pretty sure that the League of Shadows is more hard core than what training Holmes got. Even supposing they are equal in strength and hand-to-hand combat, Batman's armor is pretty much going to absorb any punches the British detective might throw at him.

I'm sorry, but I am of the opinion that this battle is unfair. Batman has way more modern technology, better training, much better stealth, and has fought much greater enemies. Holmes really has defensless against the caped crusader who will take him down pretty quickly and with little effort. I'm sorry to make your time spent on this blog post go to waste, but what must be done must be done. Match-ups like this are interesting, and quite fitting for say, a rap battle, but such for a Deadliest Fiction battle is out of the question through my eyes.

All who agree that this is unfair, state your support in reply to this comment.
