Who are the top five H2H fighters in DC comics? I have always been curious because I didn't start reading DC comics( besides Batman back in the 80's) back then the big ones were Bronze Tiger, Deathstroke,Batman, Richard Dragon,Nightwing,Lady Shiva etc. in no particular order.

Im talking about people that aren't like building wreckers with ridiculous powers maybe human level or enhanced mildly. Who do you consider the top 5 H2H fighters in DC( pre 52 and new 52 feats combined) no arguments or debating just stating opinions. If you got nothing nice to say anything.

I guess Bane, Deathstroke, Batman, Nightwing, Lady Shiva......

Owlman.Batman.Oliver Queen. Dick Grayson. Deathstroke

1. Karate Kid (if he counts)

2. Batman

3. Cassandra Cain

4. Lady Shiva

5. Richard Dragon

Special shout outs to Connor Hawke and Bronze Tiger.

If we're counting Karate Kid, shouldn't Batman One Million be number one? Karate Kid's probably tops after that, but the rest of these are kind of toss ups. They're all upper echelon. Also, shout outs to Constantine Drakon and Silver Monkey.

OWLMAN

1. Wonder Woman ( Trained by amazons & the god of war )

2. Deathstroke

3. Lady Shiva ( it was shown in Nightwing #0 that she easily beat batman )

4. Batman

Rest not sure on the order but:

Rest of League of Assassins: Bronze Tiger Cheshire, Etc.

Rest of The Bat Family: Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, Etc.

Rest of The Previous Team 7 Members: Black Canary, Steve Trevor, Amanda Waller, Grifter, Black Canary, Canary's Ex-Husband, Idk who is the 6th guy, and the 7th is Slade Wilson, but I already mentioned him above.

At least Karate Kid was in the same timeline as them ( back when he existed ). Counting batman 1 mil is like counting superman 1 mil when talking about the most powerful character in DC.

1. Deathstroke
2. Lady Shiva
3. Batman
4. Richard Dragon
5. Bane

Somebody said Bane! That's funny because he's not in the top twenty, much less top five. Bane's not that great of a hand-to-hand combatant. He's good but I could easily name thirty people that could kick his ass. Seriously, Two-Face could have better feats than Bane in hand--to-hand. Nightwing and Deathstroke are probably not top ten. Nightwing's skills (superior to Batman) are in being the best leader and his acrobatic skills. Beyond that, he's not as good as Batman in hand-to-hand. Deathstroke's best factors are his tactical mind and his physical enhancements. He didn't take out seven Justice Leaguers because of his hand-to-hand. He took them out because of his tactical mind and physical enhancements. I'm going with this list based on feats -

1. Lady Shiva - She's been said to be the best hand-to-hand combatant by Batman. She's only lost to Cassandra Cain if we're discounting the instance of being one-shotted by Batman due to horrible writing and Grodd's mind control.

2. Richard Dragon - He's defeated Bronze Tiger, stalemated Batman, and is still considered an excellent teacher despite the Chuck Dixon revamp controversy.

3. Cassandra Cain - She's beaten Lady Shiva, defeated Mad Dog, and defeated most of the League of Assassins. Even Batman's stated she could take him.

4. Bronze Tiger - He's gone toe-to-toe with Shrapnel, beat down Deathstroke, and defeated the Iron Monkey Clan by himself. Also, before Cassandra Cain was around, Prometheus's helmet said the top three fighters out of the thirty best were Lady Shiva, Richard Dragon, and Bronze Tiger. I can't find the scan though. :/

5. Batman - He's stalemated Bronze Tiger, stalemated Richard Dragon, and is just one of the best combatants out there.

Conner Hawke would be up there if he had better showings. I didn't count Karate Kid because he's from the future. Wonder Woman has no feats, just saying. Also, that Batgirl series had Gail Simone writing it. She's a good writer but she doesn't do research on her characters, which is why Bronze Tiger keeps being one-shotted.

1. Deathstroke

2. Batman

3. Wonder Woman

4. Owlman

5. Bronze Tiger

No Order

1. Batman

2. Deathstroke

3. Cassandra Cain

4. Lady Shiva

5. Bronze Tiger

6. CONDIMENT KING!

Batman one million

Karate Kid

Batman

Lady Shiva

Richard Dragon or Bronze Tiger

In that order

Batman 1M was stated to be better than KK I think, KK is better than everyone that lived before him, batman beat Shiva twice, Shiva has better feats than tiger or dragon.

Following that is connor hawke, Deathstroke, Cassandra Cain, black canary, tim drake, sensei... In no order

@

She could easily beat poisoned batman

1. Karate Kid
2. Richard Dragon
3. Cassandra Cain
4. Batman (Bruce Wayne)
5. Conner Hawke

1. richard dragon
2. sensei
3. lady shiva
4. cassandra cain
5. conner hawke

batman isn't top 5 even if I don't count karate kid!!!!

1. Richard Dragon
2. Bronze Tiger
3. Cassandra Cain
4. Connor Hawke
5. Lady Shiva

This list is based on pure H2H combat skill as in a tournament where no tech was allowed or gadgets and such. Shoutouts to Batman, Deathstroke, Green Arrow, Constatine Drakon, Nightwing, and Sensei

1. Karate Kid

2. Richard Dragon

3. Cassandra Cain

4. Lady Shiva

5. Bronze Tiger

Batman is next down the line, and Connor is practically featless outside of Shiva and Silver Monkey. I don't see how he is above Batman (let alone top 5) in some of you guy's lists.

1. Lady Shiva

2. Slade Wilson

3. Bronze Tiger

4. Batman

5. Nightwing

I'd leave Connor Hawke and Oliver Queen as the next down the line.

1. Batgod.

2. Batman

3. Bruce Wayne

4. Damian Wayne

5. DCEU Batman

Not counting any future characters.
Not in order: Richard Dragon, Bronze Tiger, Batman, Shiva.

(Not counting Cane because she is weirdly inconsistent)

Counting only non-physically enhanced or from the future.

1. Richard Dragon

2. Bronze Tiger

3. Cassandra Cain

4. Lady Shiva

5. Connor Hawke or Black Canary
