Batman vs Daredevil

If you have not read my last installment of “VS”, you may do so here: The Green Lantern vs The Silver Surfer

In past installments we have looked at some of the most powerful characters in existence.  This time we are going to scale things back a bit and check out some characters who don’t (for the most part) have any superpowers.

Daredevil:  Daredevil does have a few powers, mostly revolving around heightened senses, but he is also blind.  He has a sort of radar vision, which allows him to know where objects are due to sound waves reflecting off of surfaces.  He uses a cane that turns into a weapon and allows him to travel rooftops.  He is a highly trained athlete, pushing himself to the edge of human limits.

Batman:  Batman doesn’t actually possess any superpowers, but he does have an arsenal of high tech gadgets and a wide variety of skills.  Trained in multiple forms of martial arts and having a knowledge of science, Batman is also called the world’s greatest detective.  Like Daredevil, Batman has pushed himself to the limits of human potential.

The Fight:  Daredevil’s super-senses would allow him to detect Batman before he ever got to him.  Both of these guys are in peak physical condition and a fist fight between them would be a good one.  Both guys would take some major damage but I think Batman has the edge in fighting ability.  Batman has also fought the tougher opponents between them and has came out on top many times.  If Batman brings all of his technology into the battle (Batmobile, Batwing, etc) this one is over quick.

I think the deciding factor would be Daredevil’s superhearing.  Batman, being the detective that he is, would probably uncover Daredevil’s weakness at some point in time during the battle.  All Batman needs is a device with a high pitch sound to completely cripple Daredevil and put him away.  So, after a tough battle where both guys take a beating, I have Batman coming out on top.  His slight edge in fighting ability combined with his level of technology just puts him slightly ahead of Daredevil in my book.

Winner:  Batman
