Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
I think the only time he ever beaten anybody without any of those was in the Prometheus Faces of Evil one-shot where he beats up the other Prometheus but he never did anything without his suit
Haha Prometheus is such a horrible Bat villain when you think about it.
Then again he was never suppose to be a Bat villain. He was a league buster and initially a damn good one. The character has gotten treated pretty poorly over the years but when Morrison first wrote him for JLA he was awesome.
Prometheus is a phenomenal villain and needs to be brought back by someone that knows how to write him.
But he has never beaten Shiva or Batman without his helmet. One of his only equipment less feats is breaking out of prison in faces of evil, tracking down the man who took his name and reputation, killing the people that followed him, and then killing the man himself.
Can Prometheus be considered a martial artist,since the styles he uses are not his?
Would you consider Taskmaster a martial artist? I personally would say no to both. Cause a "true martial artist" is more then just the punches and kicks. Its a philosophy/way of life which neither one seem to actually embrace. Bruce Lee and others believe martial arts are an art form and an expression of ones self. By using other peoples moves Prometheus isnt expressing himself through his own art but the copied art of someone else. Thats my take anyway.

Really impressive way of thinking this out.Do you actually practice martial arts?
