Thank you for at least giving Wonder Woman an honorable mention. She was mostly left of the list for her super strength, but she is regarded as the greatest meal a fighter on the planet, considering she has over three thousand years worth of experience and training under her belt and as a master of every weapon there is.
an ideal hero should be Positive Cunning Intelligent Self driven and understanding Caring Selfless and many more And i think dick grayson is the best example
So not killing means you are less skilled? How does that mean your technique is not as good? Not saying Batman should be higher. But that is not a valid reason.
NovaScotiaNewfie I think its more so as in he doesn’t use certain techniques that can be considered powerful and have never been shown so we don’t know his limits.
You don’t get it, Batman holding back means he’s always pulling his punches. He isn’t striking with lethal force like pretty much everyone else on this list would. Him not striking with lethal force all the time is what’s holding him back from being an even deadlier fighter. He’s never going all out.
Nightwing gets my vote. His early training in gymnastics gives him an edge in agility, his training with Batman an unparalleled fighting skill. He can elude an opponent and escape if necessary.:)
Your reasoning of putting Batman at spot 3 is that he holds back But that reason doesn't make him a LESS SKILLED FIGHTER, It just makes him less deadly So in my opinion that reason doesn't make sense to downgrade the skill of a fighter
Batman and his not killing rule = less dangerous in a fight, so yes, actually he could be more deadly but he won't, it's the same reason why he doesn't bring more powerful tech in his standard equipment. The best evidence was during his fight against Slade in 2015 or 2016, there is a scene where Slade basically was almost defeated and he could have been killed, but Batman doesn't kill and this was a advantage for Slade to strike back. Even at the begining of the fight Slade basically said: Batman doesn't kill, that's my edge. Batman holds back all the time, many people still underestimate this thing but it's hugely important, especially against some particular enemies. You're not willing to kill? Fine, that's mean you're not willing to win.
Nasser Feed no holding back is a big deal he doesn’t go for deadly blows so his opponent would most likely last longer since his opponent doesn’t hold back and will do anything but Batman doesn’t.
Jason Todd definitely deserves to be on this list. He's been trained by the people who trained the League of Assassins and beaten Lady Shiva along with 3 or 4 others at the SAME TIME. I'm not trying to put him at #1 or even the top 5, but he seriously deserves a spot on the list
+Connor Calder and Dick beat the hell out of Jason, when he used all his possible dirty tricks. Nah. Everything depends on the writer and what they want to tell, but canonically Jason is behind Bruce, Cass and Dick. If this 3 are not in the top, then Jason has no place in top 10. DC has a lot of good fighters, that better than Red Hood.
There was an interview with John Byrne at least 15 years before The Batman / Captain America crossover was released and he said much the same thing. He said Bats is second to Cap in hand-to-hand but Batman is also the second best escape artist on Earth (behind Mister Miracle), the second best disguise artist on Earth (behind the Human Target), and etc. Batman can do everything to such a high degree he doesn't have to beat you up to beat you.
I guess, it's still Impressive. Whoever is first in their respective field, knows mostly about their particular field. Mister Miracle is escape artist, Karate Kid is martial artist, Lex Luthor is scientist. But Batman is all in one. He has consumed all knowledge and still can give first rank holder a run for their money. Not to mention he has at least once defeated all of the above at least once. And also holds titles like the greatest detective, the most dangerous man on earth, the greatest crime fighter, the most dangerous vigilante and so and so.
Not saying he should be number 1, but since Batman holds back and has defeated many considered more skillful than him, shouldn't he be higher? By holding back he's reducing lethality, not overall skill. Edit: The same goes for anyone who doesn't use lethal means, like Nightwing
Cass's whole thing is that she's better than her mother, I don't understand why she's so low. Same with Grayson, he's almost as skilled as Bruce if not they're tied.
Wonder Woman should be on this list. Even without her powers she would be a formidable fighter. This is often overlooked because of her power level. Even Batman thinks of her as one of the best fighters/warriors on Earth.
Interesting list! I feel like Cass should be higher, above Batman and tied with Shiva. Even after the reboot where she has significantly less feats and experience, Bruce admitted that if it came down to a fight between them she would win.
Mr_No_Shit_Sherlock. My reasoning is he’s beat slade countless times and slade is top 5, plus slade has healing and super strength which in this list we shouldn’t be considering. Also he’s considered a better fighter than Batman by many
My Top 10 best fighters in the DC universe 10 ) Ras Al Ghul 9) Midnighter 8) Dick Grayson ( Nightwing) 7) Black Canary and Richard Dragon 6) Bronze Tiger 5) Deathstroke 4) Batman 3) Wonder Woman 2) Lady Shiva 1) Karate Kid
@@darkpenguinn9386 Canary is an exceptional fighter But Ra's is centuries old, and has trained some of the best fighters in the world He should've gotten at least #5
I thought Wonder Woman wasn’t on the list because she’s super powered but, if she could be in the honorable mentions then she should’ve been on the list.
I'm still trying to figure out why Wonder Woman is not on this list. For goodness sake, Batman himself said that Wonder Woman is possibly the best melee fighter in the world. Anyone would be a fool to piss Wonder Woman off. For Christ's sake, this woman can beat the literal God of War in a fight. The god of freaking War! Forget about beating Batman, lady's Sheba, Damian Wayne, Robin, or any other fighter on this list. She beat the deity who literally is a personification of combat! Not to mention that in the timelines where the Justice League had to face off against the evil counterparts, Wonder Woman always seems to beat hers with no assistance while the other struggle. If you don't believe me, watch Justice League crisis on Two Earths
@@movieblocks9164 that makes no sense powers are normal for her they won't go away ever so she'll beat every body on here also deathstroke has powers why is he on here
BECAUSE DEATHSTROKE IS A MASTER TACTICIAN AND COMBANTANT EVEN WITHOUT HIS POWERS! In a hand to hand fight without powers, deathstroke would be wonderwoman. And he is basing this list on martial arts skills and hand to hand skill. wonderwoman is great at hand to hand, but nowhere as good as anyone else.
I like how not a single person mentioned the one person that mentored Diana aka Wonder Woman. She was considered to be the greatest warrior Themsyria ever produced until Diana was born.
Will T if you train under batman your a good fighter that's not batman over hype but it is true you'll end up being a good fighter. I don't think Tim or Barbra should be on that HM because Tim is more of a detective than a fighter and Barbara is paralyzed ( lol ) but (not to discredit Barbra) but even the people on the HM in this video could probably beat Barbra
hmmm didn't damien get murdered? like maliciously, so i don't think him and barbara shouldn't be on there but jason... now that dude can stand with the best; although what of tim drake, dick grayson totally said he can be next in line for batman if the cowl is dropped again
Ever since the new 52, we got an even edgier and more bad-ass fighter out of 10 year old Damian Wayne. We are talking about a kid who can easily take on Deathstroke and even Dick. He was trained everyday from toddler-hood to the age of 10 by the League of Assassins and their leader Ra's al Ghul. himself.While Dick did win the fight against Damian, he was badly injured in the process and Damian has proven he can get the upper hand at times to. Damian should have been on this list and since he would be more willing to at times go further then other Robin's, like Kidnap Jonathan White, Clark (Superman) and Lois White's 10-year-old son, AKA Superboy, that he should have been higher then Nightwing!
What do you think about the new Spider-Man cartoon on Disney XD. Could you do a segment where you review superhero cartoons. Like batman, superman, green lantern tas and many many more.
7:43, probably the reason Red Hood is loved so much to death. The fact that he was trained by Batman and the League of Assassins is already badass enough. Him not having a problem against killing is just the icing on the cake 🤘👌
Tfw no honorable mention to Jason Todd aka Red Hood :( I mean, he was trained by Batman, and then by the League of Assassins, and then sent all over the world to be trained by countless others.
Barbara Gordon I'm late to this but yeah Talia trained Jason for a while in the league and then sent him to be trained by some criminals that he ended up killing if my memory serves me right
Those rankings are clearly wrong since Cassandra Cain has beaten Deathstroke and Shiva, and even Batman himself admitted he couldn't beat her. Also, just like Batman, she holds back.
@@jeramahia123 it’s honestly kinda of dumb how she can beat batman even if she is more skilled because Batman is a lot bigger and a whole lot more durable and smarter and don’t even get me started on how the hell she was able to beat deathstroke
Why wasn't Question, Cheshire or any other Batman proteges in the honorable mentions? Shiva, Dragon and Tiger need their own series, or at least much more appearances.
I’m just watching this a year after Harvey, but I’ve lived in Houston for years. I wasn’t directly harmed by the flooding, but I know people who were. HUGE props for thinking of us and for the shout-out.
I think it's kind of wack to say "Batman is worse cause he holds back." Superman rarely goes for the kill either even if he could easily kill his opponent, that doesn't suddenly make him less skilled or weaker.
Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller Yup. He would have killed Superman then and there if he didn't. Correction: I dont 100% think his moral is why he didnt kill SuperMan but maybe..
I really thought Wonder Woman was going to be at one. Besides Batman calling her the best melee fighter on the planet. She is known for strict trianing on paradise island in various types of weapons. I also saw no mention of Huntress trained almost by the same masters as Black Canary and Big Barda who was honor gaurd for Darkseid's furies, both of which are also fierce fighters.
Bruce Wayne no he actually didn’t melee is armed or unarmed. Diana learned how to fight before she learned how to throw tanks. This list is incorrect when writers themselves have hailed WW as the greatest fighter in DC universe.
I know Superman should not be on the list but he does know several styles of kryptonian martial arts and was trained by batman and wonder women. What I like about this channel is that you are not biased towards dc or marvel and we can enjoy both.
EDsavant in my opinion. Love the idea of superman and his potential but in every form movie, cartoon, comic, novel etc. I mean every form Superman is never a skilled fighter. Brute strength, will and moral code is his thing. Interesting list
Aris thinks Dr Fate would beat pre retcon Dr Strange in a one on one... I don't think he's stupid so he must be biased. Whenever there's any DC vs Marvel discussed on the channel (not just vs) he sides with DC. If you want unbias comic related content, try watching comics explained
Luis Maciel yeah... fair fight, fighting TO WIN, no interference of weapons, no sentimental chit chat, no talking like crazy? Only them I will believe you. If a good fight has ALL... I REPEAT... ALL of this traits, only them this is a feat of martial arts that would put him in top 10.
Pretty sure even Batman once said Wonder Woman was the best fighter he had ever seen. And she's got crazy powers on top of her ridiculous fighting skills, so she should be nr1 tbh...
I love the list. Also I am glad to see Nightwing as the only Robin on the list. I have had many debates with friends about which of all the Robins is the best overall fighter and I always said it is Dick.
Art Smith he’s been fighting with Batman for years before anyone when Gotham was ruthless and Batman had not yet created a full rogues gallery, Dick Grayson and him been going in blind and learning how to fight super criminals, Dick Grayson will always be the best overall fighter, done correctly Dick Graysons fighting potential should always be higher than everyone else save for Maybe Jason
This was Tom King's ranking of the Bat family's fight skills: 1. Cassandra 2. Dick 3. Bruce 4. Damian 5. Kate 6. Helena 7. Jason 8. Duke 9. Stephanie 10. Tim
This list is fucking awesome. I was about to dislike it when I saw Nightwing at #9, but I kept watching and it blew me away. Every wntry was well argumented and researched. Hurt to see Batman miss the top 3, but I completely buy your order. Cheers.
I think Damian Wayne have the potential to became insanely skilled, he is a kid but he is already a beast in hand to hand combat thanks to league of asssasin's and batman training
How do you honestly live with yourself? You come on and just spout off vulgar garbage at someone you don't even know. People like you are what is wrong with the internet.
Joseph In one comic Batman went hand to hand with the Karate Kid, the fight was a stalemate for some time the Kid even praised Batman for his skill and his ability to read his opponent, while they were fighting the kid asked Batman what level of Martial artist he was, Batman told him then the kid asked what level do you think he was, the fight stopped right then and there, Batman said nothing else but went back to doing other things the kid just smiled and look disappointed. When asked about it later Batman only stated that the kid was pulling his punches and holding back and that he was not
Cassandra Cain aka Batgirl defeated Lady Shiva and left her to die. Thus she should be higher on the list. Batman has never defeated Bronze Tiger and Karate Kid whipped Batman decisively. He should not be number three. My list is: 1. Karate Kid 2. Richard Dragon 3. Cassandra Cain 4. Lady Shiva 5. Bronze Tiger 6. Batman 7. Black Canary 8. Connor Hawke 9. O-Sensei 10. Nightwing
@@Kobra18721 nah batman is definitely up there he has beaten shiva before and his skill is definitely higher than some on the list he just refuses to use it lethally
In the Batman Beyond series ongoing, Batman himself said that Damian Wayne is better than he was at his prime. Since Karate Kid, who lives in the future, was included, I feel Batman Beyond Damian Wayne should also have been included.
This is why I LOVED Birds of Prey when Gail Simone was writing it in early 2000s. One of the few books to highlight DC’s great hand-to-hand combatants with excellent story telling. For all the talk about Johns, Morrison, and Snyder, Gail Simone was one of the best and most underrated writers at DC in recent history.
Star Joes agree. Batgirl thinks she can beat Batman and Batgirl saw both if them fight for years. She knows a technique that can explode someone's heart within hours. She has the Canary Cry and she was trained by Lady Shiva, Richard Dragon and more. She won against Lady Shiva's mentor
Guys almost everyone in this list has spent more time training martial arts than Damian is actually alive. He is only 13, almost everyone in this list were already some of the greatest martial artists alive 13 years ago in DC universe.
Cassandra is 8? She has beaten Shiva twice on her own, something batman couldn't even do. She's also beaten batman in a straight up fight too. Cassandra at least deserves to be in the top 3
The Crimson Dragon Slayer Casandra is shown to immediately identify weaknesses of a person as soon as she sees them. There are very few normal humans she could not take down.
nightwing has beaten batman, drew against deathstroke and when he won when he was fighting diety like deathstroke and even lady shiva admitted if he wasn't injured and distracted by saving someone the outcome of their fight would be different.
Wonder Woman would be at the top of my list... but I can see your reasoning for everyone on the list (although I might disagree on some of the placements)
Bronze Tiger should have been higher than Batman. He has defeated Batman twice. Once in the scan that was shown in the video where he immobilized Batman with a punch and second time was during a sparring match.
Off the top of my head I'm going to say (In no particular order) Cassandra Cain Karate Kid Batman Lady Shiva Black Canary Wonderwoman Deathstroke Nightwing Azrael Wildcat
Nightwing has fought Deathstroke to a standstill many times..
ATRILEY I didnt know that but that's incredibly badass
comic books nerf characters to make other characters look strong. eg. batman has beaten darkseid
Ryden son And Batman has tied Karate Kid in a fight twice.
Even when he was still robin during teen titans
But couldn't get pass talon
Thank you for at least giving Wonder Woman an honorable mention.

#facts
Yeah, WW is very skilled. I do think the fighters on the list are better unarmed fighters than her though
Yeah she should be top 3 tbh
Did dude just say “meal a”
Preach.
wait... wouldnt that make batman so much stronger since he holds back?
Exactly
depends how you think about it
True
Yeah but he never lets loose, so it doesn’t count.
Bitch
I think holding back your power and or strength proves that you are a much skillful fighter.
Zhy it does doesn’t it
Zhy true! If you hold back and still win.. you are dedicated.
Agreed
Imagine if Batman didn’t have a moral code
I knew my boy nightwing was a badass
Yeah
Thanks
I believe that nightwing just has to be higher on the list
Evelyn's cloud I’m telling you it makes the most sense!
I think Nightwing is just as good as Batman in terms of fighting plus he is the most ideal superhero I can think of
an ideal hero should be
Positive
Cunning
Intelligent
Self driven and understanding
Caring
Selfless and many more

Alexander Soto he’s held his own against Ra’s. While severely injured. Yeah, he doesn’t get enough credit because he gets overshadowed by Bruce.
I think what people forget is that Batman and Nightwing hold back a lot in fights and I’m glad dude mentioned it.
I think Red Hood should have been an Honorable Mentions.
The Reebstir has trained in almost every little thing too he’s probably gonna be better than Batman because he’s still learning
@@kylebuckley7653 yeah, and plus he also was trained by the All- Caste.
The Reebstir I think he’s honestly underrated , he deserves more credit
@Lokii655 I never knew he bested Lady Shiva, then he should be like top 5, at least!
The Reebstir he have with a neck chop

ra al ghul is 5 batman is 1 bitch your list is dogshit
I like how not a single person mentioned the one person that mentored Diana aka Wonder Woman. She was considered to be the greatest warrior Themsyria ever produced until Diana was born.
I mean like Nightwing fought Batman to a draw before he became a spy
I think RedHood (Jason Todd), Robin (Damian Wayne), Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), and Red Robin (Tim Drake) should be on the honorable mentions at least.
Will T Barbara, Damian, and Tim are a no. Jason yes.
Will T if you train under batman your a good fighter that's not batman over hype but it is true you'll end up being a good fighter. I don't think Tim or Barbra should be on that HM because Tim is more of a detective than a fighter and Barbara is paralyzed ( lol ) but (not to discredit Barbra) but even the people on the HM in this video could probably beat Barbra
hmmm didn't damien get murdered? like maliciously, so i don't think him and barbara shouldn't be on there but jason... now that dude can stand with the best; although what of tim drake, dick grayson totally said he can be next in line for batman if the cowl is dropped again
Damn you are behind, damian hasnt been dead in years and Barbara hasnt been paralyzed in a long time
Ever since the new 52, we got an even edgier and more bad-ass fighter out of 10 year old Damian Wayne. We are talking about a kid who can easily take on Deathstroke and even Dick. He was trained everyday from toddler-hood to the age of 10 by the League of Assassins and their leader Ra's al Ghul. himself.While Dick did win the fight against Damian, he was badly injured in the process and Damian has proven he can get the upper hand at times to. Damian should have been on this list and since he would be more willing to at times go further then other Robin's, like Kidnap Jonathan White, Clark (Superman) and Lois White's 10-year-old son, AKA Superboy, that he should have been higher then Nightwing!
What do you think about the new Spider-Man cartoon on Disney XD. Could you do a segment where you review superhero cartoons. Like batman, superman, green lantern tas and many many more.
Star Wars Master I like your idea
Let's get this to top comment people
XD
Good idea
XDDDDDDDDD
7:43, probably the reason Red Hood is loved so much to death. The fact that he was trained by Batman and the League of Assassins is already badass enough. Him not having a problem against killing is just the icing on the cake 🤘👌
Do top 10 smartest characters both Marvel and DC
Fastest Man Alive RF 1. Reed Richards
2. Lex Luthor
3. Dr. Doom
4. Tony Stark
5. Hank Pym
6. Amadeus Cho
7. T.O. Morrow
8. T’Challa
9. Ted Cord
10. Bruce Banner
Spencer Hargrave where's bruce wayne or beast
Ashu Prak not on the list
Ozmandias/Luthor/Ray Palmer/Michael Holt/Bruce Wayne are your Top 5 in Dc
ktown4211 not Bruce Wayne
Diana should have made this list! She's one of the most powerful and skilled fighters of all time!
Jenderson Mohammed only in amazon martial arts
@@mrunalielle8729 not only
@MAHAN 195 No she doesnt need to ... cause if she..... cough cough....... everyone on this list..... cough.... dead !
Tfw no honorable mention to Jason Todd aka Red Hood :(
I mean, he was trained by Batman, and then by the League of Assassins, and then sent all over the world to be trained by countless others.
Drugs yeah hes good but relies on weapons without them he couldnt take on any one in this list
Drugs yeah but red hood sucks
Jason Todd is someone and
The one who was trained By the league of assassins is a completely different person (Damian Wayne)
Wtf are you saying?
If he was trained by them please tell me
Maybe I missed it
Barbara Gordon I'm late to this but yeah Talia trained Jason for a while in the league and then sent him to be trained by some criminals that he ended up killing if my memory serves me right
Honorable mention katana and mr terrific
What does "over 127" forms of martial arts mean? 128...?
twinkiebeyond He Mastered All
Bruce never mastered a form
Thank you, i agree with you. Why do ppl think just because you've mastered 127 forms of martial arts makes you the best fighter?
Or 129
@@joseamp9944 wow its rather academic that you'd be the best
Wonder Woman should have been #1 on this list. She's literally been fighting and training for THOUSANDS of years.
no
Nope
But she doesn’t know every form of martial arts like karate kid
Yeah people forget she was trained not just by the Amazons but also Athena and Ares who are literal Goddess and Gods of War.
Also Where is lucifer
2:19 Black Canary
3:13 Nightwing
4:02 Cassandra Cain
4:49 Bronze Tiger
5:22 Connor Hawke
6:00 Deathstroke
6:54 Batman
7:59 Lady Shiva
8:56 Richard Dragon
9:41 Karate Kid
Those rankings are clearly wrong since Cassandra Cain has beaten Deathstroke and Shiva, and even Batman himself admitted he couldn't beat her.
Also, just like Batman, she holds back.
@@jeramahia123 it’s honestly kinda of dumb how she can beat batman even if she is more skilled because Batman is a lot bigger and a whole lot more durable and smarter and don’t even get me started on how the hell she was able to beat deathstroke
I think tim drake should be on there because he’s been known to be just as unpredictable and just as skilled as batman himself
Why wasn't Question, Cheshire or any other Batman proteges in the honorable mentions?
Shiva, Dragon and Tiger need their own series, or at least much more appearances.
I’m just watching this a year after Harvey, but I’ve lived in Houston for years. I wasn’t directly harmed by the flooding, but I know people who were. HUGE props for thinking of us and for the shout-out.
why is batman should b at the top?
:because he's Batman
I think it's kind of wack to say "Batman is worse cause he holds back." Superman rarely goes for the kill either even if he could easily kill his opponent, that doesn't suddenly make him less skilled or weaker.
We all know if Batman didn't have the no killing rule he'd be at number 1
zeusboltes gaming Karate kid tho
zeusboltes gaming yeah he would
Karate kid is a level 15. Batman is only a level 12... according to Batman.
You're insane if you think Batman can beat karate kid
Damn right
"If Batman didn't have a moral code..." So BvS Batman?
Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller Yup. He would have killed Superman then and there if he didn't.
Correction: I dont 100% think his moral is why he didnt kill SuperMan but maybe..
Sir Nosy He can and almost did.. SuperMan got lucky lel. (Watch the movie and you'll see)
"Watch the movie and you'll see".... Error 404
Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller you mean old man batman?
I really thought Wonder Woman was going to be at one. Besides Batman calling her the best melee fighter on the planet. She is known for strict trianing on paradise island in various types of weapons. I also saw no mention of Huntress trained almost by the same masters as Black Canary and Big Barda who was honor gaurd for Darkseid's furies, both of which are also fierce fighters.
J VON J Archie No. Black Canary was much better trained than Huntress.
Bruce Wayne no he actually didn’t melee is armed or unarmed. Diana learned how to fight before she learned how to throw tanks. This list is incorrect when writers themselves have hailed WW as the greatest fighter in DC universe.
@@bobanesz736 yap she should be at first , it was a huge but huge mistake not including her on this list he deserves a dislike ! 😂🤔
@@bobanesz736 Exactly
she's also lived longer and fought more enemies and can block bullets. She can also kill most ppl with one punch
You guys should also do a list on the best fighters in all of comics
What about the Worst?
Ok so who’s the absolute best fighter in all of comics? Can we get a top 10 list?
Batman’s mind is more so dangerous than his fists in my opinion.
lush larry agree
1. Karate kid
2. Lady Shiva
3. Cassandra Cain
4. Richard dragon
5. Batman
6. Black canary
7. Bronze tiger
8. Deathstroke
9. Katana
10. Dick Grayson
This video was actually very useful.. I had no idea The Question was trained by Richard Dragon!
i think wonder woman deserve to be on the list as she was trained by amazons' best fighters for millennia.
After watching this it really makes me wanna see a universe where Bruce Wayne finds Clark as a kid and raises him to be a badass fighter.
Just imagine if someone with the speedforce decide to learn every martial arts they can and magic
If they had speedforce, they'd probably wouldn't learn martial arts anyway
Cassandra Cain should be higher
Hey Arris
Why is no one talking about the fire
There is way worse shit
Ei8hTy SiX I have like 7 fires within 50 miles of my house right now dude
Tony Adams SB sureeee
elouS I was just letting him know I could give 0 fucks if you don't Believe me. I know I'm telling the truth so
Loved the episode, can't wait for the marvel one
SneezyAnus Hey! You watch variant too, If you are wondering I know you and your name from Mr. Fruits channel! Two of my favorite channels.
SneezyAnus
You nin
1. Karate Kid, 2. Richard Dragon, 3. Lady Sheeva, 4. Batman, 5. Orphan, 6. Ghost Maker, 7. Bronce Tiger, 8. Deathstroke, 9. Nightwing, 10. Conor Hawk, 11. Wonder Woman, 12. Big Bertha, 13. Sensei, 14. Raz Al-Gul, 15. Catman, 17. Black Canarry, 17. Prometheus, 18. Arthemis of Themeskera, 19. Green Arrow, 20. Talia Al-Gul
I would’ve put Nightwing higher on the list
I know Superman should not be on the list but he does know several styles of kryptonian martial arts and was trained by batman and wonder women. What I like about this channel is that you are not biased towards dc or marvel and we can enjoy both.
EDsavant in my opinion. Love the idea of superman and his potential but in every form movie, cartoon, comic, novel etc. I mean every form Superman is never a skilled fighter. Brute strength, will and moral code is his thing. Interesting list
Suprerman ALWAYS fight like a brawler! Thats WHY Son Goku ALWAYS beat Superman...
Imagin KK with superpowers...
Aris thinks Dr Fate would beat pre retcon Dr Strange in a one on one... I don't think he's stupid so he must be biased. Whenever there's any DC vs Marvel discussed on the channel (not just vs) he sides with DC. If you want unbias comic related content, try watching comics explained
Interesting list, but why no mention of Judomaster, Katana, the Huntress, Blue Beetle Ted Kord, Catwoman, Green Arrow?
Because everyone else on this list is better
Green arrow has Beaton canary and his son
Luis Maciel yeah... fair fight, fighting TO WIN, no interference of weapons, no sentimental chit chat, no talking like crazy? Only them I will believe you. If a good fight has ALL... I REPEAT... ALL of this traits, only them this is a feat of martial arts that would put him in top 10.
Catman once beat Batman hand to hand
Literally everyone except maybe huntress cant content against any of these fighters
10) Damian Wayne
9) Black Canary
8) Cassandra Cain
7) Red Hood
6) Nightwing
5) Deathstroke
4) Batman
3) Lady Shiva
2) Richard Dragon
1) Karate Kid
You know Batman, Nightwing and Red Hood have already admitted Cassandra Cain is better than them, right?
Legitimately this entire list could be Batman and his partners
You need to learn more about comics.
Naw that's not really true in any shape or form
Here are my 5 batman fighters
1 batman
2 nightwing
3 red hood
4 tim drake (but he is one of the smartest)
5 batgirl
Pretty sure even Batman once said Wonder Woman was the best fighter he had ever seen. And she's got crazy powers on top of her ridiculous fighting skills, so she should be nr1 tbh...
@@Mr.BluePants no she shouldn't her powers disqualify her
I love the list. Also I am glad to see Nightwing as the only Robin on the list. I have had many debates with friends about which of all the Robins is the best overall fighter and I always said it is Dick.
Will say Damian is the best at fighting, but that's my opinion.
Art Smith yah but I thought he should have been a little higher
give me some sugar bAbY Dick Grayson beat Batman in a fight Damien Wayne cannot
Art Smith he’s been fighting with Batman for years before anyone when Gotham was ruthless and Batman had not yet created a full rogues gallery, Dick Grayson and him been going in blind and learning how to fight super criminals, Dick Grayson will always be the best overall fighter, done correctly Dick Graysons fighting potential should always be higher than everyone else save for Maybe Jason
I think Damien would be the best when he reaches adulthood, but since he hasn't yet, I'd give it to Dick
Azrael beat Batman 3 times, beat Nightwing, beat Deathstroke. He scares the entire league of assasins.
He was batman for a while
Thank you, I'm glad someone acknowledged him.
Pretty sure he got beaten aswell
he was also beaten by batman and aknowledged his defeat at their last battle.
This was Tom King's ranking of the Bat family's fight skills:
1. Cassandra
2. Dick
3. Bruce
4. Damian
5. Kate
6. Helena
7. Jason
8. Duke
9. Stephanie
10. Tim
Tom King said that? Wasn't he the same guy who had the entire Batfamily, including Cass, ambush and then lose to Flashpoint Thomas Wayne!?
This list is fucking awesome. I was about to dislike it when I saw Nightwing at #9, but I kept watching and it blew me away. Every wntry was well argumented and researched. Hurt to see Batman miss the top 3, but I completely buy your order.
Cheers.
I think Damian Wayne have the potential to became insanely skilled, he is a kid but he is already a beast in hand to hand combat thanks to league of asssasin's and batman training
I'm pretty sure he becomes the best fighter in the world
@@Max_m10 One of the best
Nightwing should be higher on the list
Khaitastic bb8 Lol, Nightwing shouldn't be on this list.
Anonymous Anonymously why? The guy has beaten deathstroke
Seriously nightwing should be way higher like 5. At least.
Dang straight he should be!
Not above Cassandra, Shiva, Batman, Bronze Tiger, Richard Dragon or Deathstroke though
Batgirl, Red Hood, Red Robin and Robin should get honorable mentions.
I thought Batman would be number 1.
How do you honestly live with yourself? You come on and just spout off vulgar garbage at someone you don't even know. People like you are what is wrong with the internet.
He was just giving his opinion. Jeez man.. there was absolutely no need for you to insult him like that. So damn Childish.
Will Silapheth Its true though
R y x n
yeah but he didn't say... BATMAN SHOULD HAD BEEN #1 KARATE KID SUCKS DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE! i thought batman would be #1 too.
Joseph In one comic Batman went hand to hand with the Karate Kid, the fight was a stalemate for some time the Kid even praised Batman for his skill and his ability to read his opponent, while they were fighting the kid asked Batman what level of Martial artist he was, Batman told him then the kid asked what level do you think he was, the fight stopped right then and there, Batman said nothing else but went back to doing other things the kid just smiled and look disappointed. When asked about it later Batman only stated that the kid was pulling his punches and holding back and that he was not
Cassandra Cain aka Batgirl defeated Lady Shiva and left her to die. Thus she should be higher on the list. Batman has never defeated Bronze Tiger and Karate Kid whipped Batman decisively. He should not be number three.
My list is:
1. Karate Kid
2. Richard Dragon
3. Cassandra Cain
4. Lady Shiva
5. Bronze Tiger
6. Batman
7. Black Canary
8. Connor Hawke
9. O-Sensei
10. Nightwing
James Richardson I agree with this list
Where would you rank Jason Todd?
Fanuel Nduna he would be number 7 on my list right after Connor hawk Batman would be number 8 lol
@@Kobra18721 I'm okay with that 😂
@@Kobra18721 nah batman is definitely up there he has beaten shiva before and his skill is definitely higher than some on the list he just refuses to use it lethally
In the Batman Beyond series ongoing, Batman himself said that Damian Wayne is better than he was at his prime. Since Karate Kid, who lives in the future, was included, I feel Batman Beyond Damian Wayne should also have been included.
This is why I LOVED Birds of Prey when Gail Simone was writing it in early 2000s. One of the few books to highlight DC’s great hand-to-hand combatants with excellent story telling. For all the talk about Johns, Morrison, and Snyder, Gail Simone was one of the best and most underrated writers at DC in recent history.
Damn son Karate Kid??.. Legion of Super Heroes?? #1 yes!! Ares the real CHAMP!! Aye!! Great list I'm with that that
I would have put Black Canary much higher on the list.
Star Joes agree. Batgirl thinks she can beat Batman and Batgirl saw both if them fight for years. She knows a technique that can explode someone's heart within hours. She has the Canary Cry and she was trained by Lady Shiva, Richard Dragon and more. She won against Lady Shiva's mentor
You should do a list like this but with DC characters who primarily utilize weapons in combat (i.e. Damian Waybe, Deadshot, etc.)
I was expecting Damian to be in this or even Talia alghul
Dinamite not the only one
Man Damian was trained by league of assassin's, Batman, dick Grayson and many more I'm bummed.
I'm in hell he can’t beat anyone on this list
@@TheMainMan364 he is a kid give him a time he will kick everybody's ass.
Guys almost everyone in this list has spent more time training martial arts than Damian is actually alive. He is only 13, almost everyone in this list were already some of the greatest martial artists alive 13 years ago in DC universe.
What about Red Hood? He's defeated Ras, Batman, Robin, and many others.
ali saad not Batman
what about iron fist wtf man rly??
moneychester united he is marvel and stop copy pasting
this is dc only bro
Free runner Mack but red hood is DC
Cassandra is 8? She has beaten Shiva twice on her own, something batman couldn't even do. She's also beaten batman in a straight up fight too. Cassandra at least deserves to be in the top 3
The Crimson Dragon Slayer Casandra is shown to immediately identify weaknesses of a person as soon as she sees them. There are very few normal humans she could not take down.
Plus batman has admitted in both continuities that Cassandra is better than him.
The Crimson Dragon Slayer how does that make her better than someone that can copy your fighting style tho?
That’s only because batman holds back
Batman defeated Shiva in Superman/Batman, and even fought Karate Kid...Cass has never did that...
nightwing has beaten batman, drew against deathstroke and when he won when he was fighting diety like deathstroke and even lady shiva admitted if he wasn't injured and distracted by saving someone the outcome of their fight would be different.
To think Karate Kid fought Jason Todd back when he was Robin. Yeah, Karate Kid fought Red Hood.
who won
@@damnbrothatshellawild7086 they got interrupted but I think you couldn't call that a 1on1 since karate kid is with dawnstar
Wonder Woman would be at the top of my list... but I can see your reasoning for everyone on the list (although I might disagree on some of the placements)
Bronze Tiger should have been higher than Batman. He has defeated Batman twice. Once in the scan that was shown in the video where he immobilized Batman with a punch and second time was during a sparring match.
WADE Green Jr. Eh they've gone back and fourth lots of times, tbh they're pretty equal.
Bronze tiger plot
Much like DS
They have fought 2 times and sparred once. Bronze Tiger won 2 of those encounters and the third was a stalemate.
Off the top of my head I'm going to say (In no particular order)
Cassandra Cain
Karate Kid
Batman
Lady Shiva
Black Canary
Wonderwoman
Deathstroke
Nightwing
Azrael
Wildcat
Cain
Cassandras father
He taught his daughter and Bruce
Catman
He once beat Batman One on One
Ra's Al Ghul
Just 3 I think should be in there
What about Tim drakes robin? He trained with lady shiva
That Arkham Origins trailer with Batman and Deathstroke was flawless. I'd watch that film all day long!
