Tbh, Batman doesn't even need prep or prior knowledge, cowl is cooked with scanners, he's trained to combat magic, he has anti-magic stuff. He'd figure out a plan 3 seconds into the match and 10 backup plans which in itself have 10 back plans.
Also the reason entire internet humors VSBW but what can I do about it but you're quite literally wrong either way.
Ok? You realize where you are? We use them, we're gonna use them, nothing you say will change that. If you don't like it, make a CRT or don't argue.
If this is the case then why is Batman 8-C then? This is his standard equipment, he hasn't brought any of his fancy stuff here.
Nobody said as much, he's defeated people far above his pay grade without fancy mech suits through the use of his environment, standard equipment and simply skill ******* them. What are you on about? If he had that stuff this wouldn't even be a match.
Geralt isn't a multi-Krillionaire that can buy everything he can and build things to make himself more advantageous in battle narrative wise, he uses what he has in his arsenal and builds them on the spot.
Which is unironically one of his major disadvantages, glad you agree.
This is the standard batman, you can't pull anything higher than 8-C here because you'd be contradicting the page.
I'm not? Do you know how much shit he has on him at a given time? He has enough chemicals to be considered a country wide biohazard. He has so many different types of batarangs, it's not even funny. Misc stuff like, well magic, etc. Even his armor comes coupled with forcefield negation.
Don't strawman lad, nobody is saying he has anything above 8-C, if he did this would be a stomp. He just happens to have a small military arsenal on him at all times.
Classic chariot on his long-texted derails.
Calling you out for having not picked up a Batman comic for the past 15 years is very much relevant if your argument hinges on blatantly untrue information. And why the toxicity?
I've never even implied he struggles with thugs, I simply said he isn't beating superman or wonder woman with his standard equipment.
"but he still has trouble clearing Gotham of its crimes and street level characters. Like even I am not entirely oblivious from the stories of Batman from the cartoons, comics and movies."
There's two conclusions one could make from this, he has trouble dealing with dudes like Mr. Freeze, Clayface, and so on, dudes who aren't even street level but massively superhuman with tons of hax (who he hasn't struggled with in years), which contradicts the point of your own statement. Or basic shit, which isn't true because he hasn't struggled with that for years. Or do you mean street dudes like Nightwing, Deathstroke, Cass, etc? They'd skill **** Geralt too brother.
And this is where you contradict yourself, you said Batman has beaten characters far outside his weight class but here you come and say he "outplays them".
Yeah? Obviously he isn't out-punching Superman level dudes? Doesn't mean he can't beat them with what he has on him normally by outplaying them? Being ignorant isn't my fault not a contradiction in what I said, that's on you.
The last time I've heard is that Batman only ever beats Deathstroke if it is a rematch which is obvious due to a prepared batman fighting. And what a shock, most of the fights with Deathstroke Batman doesn't really use what you've said later on would neg Geralt, which logically thinking would work on Deathstroke. Also, physically even Deathstroke is inferior to Geralt.
They fought twice in the planner arc alone, Batman won. And that was after Batman fought several assassins. Deathstroke wins more often, doesn't mean he never loses. Deathstroke doesn't even win through raw stats, so Geralt being slightly above him isn't an argument, by that logic Killer Croc or Clayface or those Mecha in fear state would beat Batman.
Also lmao no, Deathstroke is straight up immune to basically every chemical weapon he has, in the aforementioned arc Batman hit Slade with a heavy dise of knockout fast and he was up like, not even a conversation later, probably sooner given he was pretending to be knocked out. The forcefield neg actually DOES work on Slade. Stealth? Deathstroke has senses so insane he can see subatomic particles move mid air and has hearing that's absolutely cracked while knowing stealth himself. Like I'm sure you know of his infamous vs Atom feats right?
Slade is effectively just Batman but he's willing to kill, Geralt isn't Slade, using him as a comparison is asinine.
That's unironically your argument.
Correct, he is. I'd say Geralt and maybe Talia or Ras al Ghul would be more comparable.
Skill isn't a measuring stick, It is the capability or mastery of a field a character partakes in. Geralt is the best swordsman in the world, has been stated several times, has demonstrated hundreds of times. He isn't getting skilled-stomped because he isn't fighting a nigh-omniscient being but essentially a character comparable to Vilgefortz, someone Geralt got skill-stomped by but adapted and killed alone without any help.
We're talking about comics lad, not irl, where skill actually IS a measuring stick, in which Batman is toward the top, skill stomping dudes who skill stomp dudes who skill stomp dudes, repeat.
So? Batmans beat the best swordsman his world has ever known too? He's a master of every weapon on earth, every martial arts and even dabbles into the occult. He has legitimately mastered every violent art form.
Being the best swordsman doesn't mean much here. And he adapted to someone who was more skilled? Batman can do that too, he can create whole new fighting styles just to counter someone. Batman basically knows how a whole fight will play out before it even happens.
He's also countered people who knew his every move.
And Most things you've said Geralt has resistance against, look up the profile, literally nothing either. Potions help Geralt essentially reach High 8-C and further enhance his speed.
Geralt doesn't resist being stealthed. He doesn't resist Batman's ten fucktillion chemicals (especially given he has some made for metahumans who might resist the weaker stuff). He doesn't resist being hyper analyzed by his cowl. He doesn't resist ion gauntlets. He doesn't resist, well basically anything I've said?
He can't reach High 8-C? That's actively against the rules otherwise why can't batman just call in one of his 4-C suits?
Also a counter-argument is that it barely is a standard fighting tactic for Batman, Geralt can just as easily just Yrden trap Batman or Axii him before he just kills him.
Did you ACTUALLY just say Batman doesn't use stealth as a standard tactic? No ******* way...
For one talking about standard tactics, you do like to bring up some pretty wacky things.
What's stopping Batman from just negating his magic?
