My personal edges

Short range: Holmes' webley has the longer range and more killing capability than Batman's batarangs. Its also has a faster rate of fire and is more accurate. Edge: Holmes

Mid Range: Batman's explosives are dangerous and has multiple uses. But it need either to be setup or thrown. Holmes' Mauser is easier to use and has 10 bullets that can be fired automatically. Edge: Holmes

Long Range: Batman's gadgets is a good distractor and stunner, its a good tool if Holmes ever gets the upper hand. A swarm of bats isn't just annoying but is also scary. But Holmes' rifle is made to kill and not to stun. It also has a bayonet if the fight gets too close. Edge: Holmes

Martial arts: Its a tie. Both combatants are skilled fighter who both uses their fist and brains in a fight. LoS training is made for both close quarter combat and stealth, while Bartitsu focuses on close quarter counterattack, grapples, weapon use and disarming. Edge: Even

Melee: Batman's blades can cause damage and can actually kill. Its also got a suprise ranged attack, but that attack doesn't pierce throught that much. Holmes' cane sword has the longer range, pierces further, and the straight blade can be used to precisely stab in soft areas of Batman's armor. Edge: Holmes

Tools: Batman easily triumphs this. his tools are far more advanced and high tech. He is adept at using this in many situations and will make the battle last longer. The Batsuit can also provide a major advantage. Though also note that Holmes' sleeve gun packs a suprise that Batman might find unexpected. Edge: Batman

X-factors: Holmes scores higher in points and has got the most edges. Edge: Holmes

Overall: I think Holmes gets this. His weapons are more dangerous and has far more killing potential against Batman's non lethal weapons. Even though Batman has the technological advantage this is dwarfed as they are all made to stun opponents. Holmes weapons are made to kill. Batman may have experienced fighting armed thugs, but Holmes isn't the ordinary criminal thug that Batman has always faced, Holmes is far smarter than the villains Batman fought. Even though the Batsuit provided a major advantage, I think Holmes is smart enough to know how to get through it. The Batsuit may be a great armor, and could have protected Batman from Holmes' sword, pistols, and bayonet, but it doesn't make him althroughout invincible. Holmes is noted as a marksman, and he is smart enough to know where to land a bullet (probably in Batman's mouth or chin that is unprotected and obviously wide-open). Holmes' intellect would easily help him find out Batman's armor and would think of ways to get through it. If the fight gets up close Holmes has the better close quarter weapons combined with his superior intellectual combat prowess that could have dealt massive damage to Batman. Holmes can easily adapt to a situation, and as soon as he finds out a way to defeat Batman he would think of combos that will be dealt fast and quick.
