Damian's beaten like, half the Robins in fights. I get that he's a kid but I don't think you should be cutting him out of the scaling without proper research (aka a full downgrade thread/character revision)

I’m doing that now as we speak, actually. Have scans for everyone in Batfam and Batman villains.

These are scans I have for the Batfam members against each other.
Nightwing:
Cass:
Tim:
Nightwing:
- Fought Batman once, who was clearly holding back and barely attacks him. Nightwing questions if Batman's gonna hit him or not, and when he does, he knocked him down with 3 punches.
- Dominates Damian during their training.
- Beats jason Todd
Cass:
- They were both poisoned here and Batman says he doesn't want to hurt her. The fight ends without a clear winner.
- Easily stuns Nightwing with one punch
Tim:
- Easily deals with Damian
- A brief fight against Nightwing (Batman atp)
Tomfer
He/Him- 1,926

This is fair.
With the scans you gave us, that looks good.

Deadshot's Guns are at least 8-C since Batman acknowledges that he can kill him, but avoids it subconsciously.

The list is mostly about physicals and physical weapons like a staff for example. Guns are fine.

Gonna be honest it feels weird not scaling Joker to bats considering the Batman who Laughs business, but I'm not the comics guy and there's sure to be consistent times Batman kinda dogwalked the clown.
You forgot Strokedeath BTW, but he's like, weird profile-wise.

Deathstroke is already 8-C through upscaling. He'd just be higher 8-C now, same with Bane's Venom statistic increase.
- 3,156
- 1,236
Is baseline 8-C+ on the table? Only a 1.15 times gap.

@DaReaperMan Why wouldn't joker scale?

Yep. Joker is among those with a line through him, so he's not gonna be scaling

This is Post Crisis only, batman Who Laughs is a Dark Nights thing, 2017. PC ended in 2011. And the reason I personally don't think Joker scales is that Batman is 99% stronger than him most of the times, Joker only harms him with gimmicks and caughting him off guard. In one of their most important stories, Batman beat him while weakened and wounded, KOs him with a punch and more recently, nearly beat him to death. Joker's thing isn't being on the same level physically as Batman, it's his mind games and everything around his gimmicks. Bane is one of the villains that has strength as his gimmick, and actually does break Batman, literally.
He's 8-C by upscaling already as others said.
Explained above.

I'd say that it depends. Deadshot acknowledges that the Batsuit is bulletproof and can't get pass the suit even at point blan range. And even when he hits, the suit is mostly fine.

Okay now. Just skimming a respect thread and our other profiles I found way more than that. He's beaten Talia, stomped Zsasz, chopped off a Man-Bat's wings, knocked Tim Drake's lights out, he's matched Connor Hawke (he lost but Hawke struggled and he's one of the strongest street tiers), fought KGBeast, even in the scan you posted he hurts Bruce through the suit hard enough to make him gasp.
EDIT: Went through people who scale to Tim RQ: Hit Stephanie Brown hard enough to make her feel ill, hurt KGBeast, hurt Boomerang Jr. He doesn't have as much because he's Tim Drake and nobody cares about Tim Drake but he still scales lol.

Isn't Bat almost 8-C+?
- 52,803

Also Steph is historically the weakest and least skilled Batgirl IIRC

This thread is separating Batman's scaling from a lot of people because he holds back a lot against people.

Also just read through Armor’s comment and the only viable scaling there is Connor but that is from PFP and not PC. He gets schooled by Bruce, Dick and Tim which is insane cause Tim is probably one of the weakest as well.
So just to not let them have a gazillion times difference in AP (9-B vs 8-C) I’ll probably calc feats from these characters like Damian and Tim, feats that are clearly in the 9-A range.

And also because he stomps said people more frequently than not

Does PFP Batman upscale in strength from PC Batman? Sorry ik it's offtopic but if this changes PC then I wanna know if it affects that scaling too

I still gotta read further into PFP but IIRC Batman became one with all his versions.

His profile currently has this scan of Superman comparing him to his Post-Crisis self.

How is the Zsasz and Man-Bat stuff not scaling? Unless you're saying they're not 8-C which I can see for Zsasz just cause I don't know him but Man-Bat definitely is.

The only Man-Bat that would consistently go against Batman and actually surpass him in strength was Kirk Langstrom, regular Man-Bat are fodder and easily defeated by Batman even if there are dozens of them. First few pages of Batman (1940) #656 Batman took 6 Man-Bats at once and was hit once, and later he fights dozens of them, and only gets overwhelmed because of the amount of Man-Bats holding and attacking him.

- 15,397
Fair enough. Though even if they can only threaten him in groups that would be a downscale.

I was reading through some of the characters I think shouldn't be 8-C and oh my God. They have NOTHING. You'd think they have some wall busting feats or anything but no, only Cassandra has those and she is blatantly a super-human, like, canonically.

Wait, I think I cooked up a way to get the feat higher, I was talking with my friend on discord and he said this:
I think we can get 8-B batman...
- 60

Oh and for the second feat where he tanks it, my friend said:
- 52,803
- 47,151
8-B would 100% be an outlier for batbaby...

Tell your friend the explosion is only High 8-C and it is impossible for Batman to tank more than that value.
And tell him I don’t want to get any value higher, I don’t want to wank anything. The calc will stay as it is now.
