DCEU Batman vs. CW Malcom Merlyn

H2H only

Fight takes place on neutral ground

vs.

Merlyn

GETS STOMPED

up

Merlyn Stomps hard

Batfleck is probably one of the most unskilled live batman we've had

He had great durability though and his strength was peak humanish, though he hasn't shown anything to say he is Merlyn superior in any aspect including physical stats seeing as Merlyn has better striking feats

How?

Merlyn for a majority

Its Purely Hand to Hand so i would give this to Batman as he has already done 20 years of crime fighting in BvS that gives him an edge in experience department. Though he still lacks feats which Merlyn surely has but not most of them would be H2H combat feats. Still a close call.

@captain_batman_ftw: he only fought fodder so you can't debate that his skill was good especially since he would've died if not for his suit and got tagged multiple times even his stealth was Sub Par abd he just charged in like a brute most of the time

@royal_warrior: He did manage to stealth Superman and kind of stealth Doomsday, albeit he did use smoke bombs.

@costy21:

More like Meryln stomp Batfleck

@samjackson: how did he stealth either of them?!

@royal_warrior: During his fight with Clark he dropped the smoke grenade and Clarkblost track of him and that's when Bruce shot the kryptonite grenade. During the Doomsday fight after he avoided his attacks he through a smoke grenade and jump into and Doomsday lost track of him. He was somewhat stealthy.

A character such as Oliver stomped him. Batfleck destroys him

Maybe Merlyn. CW is overrated in terms of skill though. Skill gap isn't nearly as big as many people think honestly.

@costy21:

Meryln got stomped by current Oliver, who rivals Ra's Al Ghul. He stomped season 1 Oliver and Nyssa multiple times. All Batfleck did was almost get killed by mercenaries.

Batman wins handily, way stronger and faster and far more experienced

Merlyn should win.

Meelyn. Won't be easy though.

Batfleck to much raw power

Merlyn did beat a Mirakuru soldier.

@ouroborik: How is Batman faster?

I'll be honest, re-reading my old post I don't fully agree with what I wrote xD

Batman manhandles him...

Merlyn wrecks

Meryln takes it.

Based on scaling from Oliver during the newest flashbacks, Malcolm takes this handily.

I'd like to see some Batman support though.

Batfleck curbstomps. No one from the Arrowverse can beat Batfleck in pure h2h, not even Oliver (not counting people enhanced with Mirakuru).

Oh i didnt know Batman was a speedster or a 10+ tonner.... Alot of people from flashes Rogue gallery could turn bruce into unrecognizable Paste in H2H.

I would imagine bats is stronger, similarly skilled and has enough speed and durability to take this

I'm not sure what Malcolm's best h2h feat is, or how it compares to bats though

So maybe batman 6/10 for now

@royal_warrior: so deadshot bwas fodder in suicide squad??? Batflec took him down pretty bloody fast.

Thought you wanted to see some Batman support .

@the_fallen_lord: Touché.

This is embarrassing. I meant Arrow, not Arrowverse.

Is it me or didn't Malcom say himself he's getting slower with age? TBH I didn't watch much of Arrow until now. I need to catch up again to give any relevant answer.

Edit: And I dunno if this holds a candle to whatever Merlyn has for durability feats but Bats was stabbed in the shoulder (?) and still managed to fend off his attackers while being pinned to the ground.

At this point in time, most likely Merlyn in a tough fight.

Bump, don't see how Merlyn doesn't win, the experience argument is completely moot considering Malcolm is older and has trained longer, strength goes to Batfleck though but even then Malcolm still has comparable feats.

Bruce. Although Merlyn would give him a tough fight due to his ranged gear.

Merlyn still stomps. This should not have been bumped.

Malcolm.

Merlyn beats him to death...

Merlyn

How? For all of the hype surrounding DCEU Batman, he lacks any real showings.

@the_magister: i read some jl spoilers damn,
