On the sheer basis of age and fitness level, I'd go with Wolverine.

Logan. ...but definitely NOT by a landslide. That's only if he keeps his cool though. If not. Bruce would win. He is just too damn cool.

Bane broke Batman's back after running Batman ragged after releasing all inmates in Gotham, thus forcing Batman to see to it that they were arrested again.  Bane broke Batman when Batman was at his weakest.  It's not like he confronted Batman out in the open, fought him, and broke his back.

Bane would beat a powerless Wolverine

Logan gets my vote, mainly due to experience and the fact that he schooled six martial arts mystic masters in H2H while blindfolded.

Wolverine has probably spent more time training/fighting than Batman has been alive.

Sounds about right. However, I think it's hard to judge who's better, even if one has practiced longer than the other.

Batman has trained with the best... Virtually all important arts were learned by him. Hand to hand skills only, I go with Bats....  
 
Take into account the healing factor (you don't even have to add the adamantium) and Wolverine wins...

Wolverine is a brilliant martial artist, however due to Adamantium and healing factor he doesn't display all he is capable of martial arts wise.

I agree, they are pretty evenly matched in terms of showings, so I have to give the nod to the guy who has been practicing 4 times longer.

I don't know, Wolverine shows a lot of knowledge in various types of Martial Arts, and if I remember correctly when he was brainwashed, it took all the X-men, Captain America and the F4 to stop him(not all at once though).

I think Wolverine knows way more, but Batman has much better discipline.  So I have to say Batman.

He's spent more time drinking that Batman's been alive too.
 
Wolverine has been alive longer and has had the potential to know more, but he doesn't use that, and since he doesn't he loses it. My opinion anyway. It seems to be backed up by Wolverine needing to go to people to be retrained though. He did it recently in Origins, he did it when he went to China town, he's done it before fighting Sabretooth, etc. I wouldn't say it's a regular thing, but it's something that happens more than you'd think. Wolverine's fighting style is tanking and slashing. He can pull out the skill, but it's like an old friend he hardly recognizes and needs to get reacquainted with. And I don't buy for a second the idea that Wolverine has been training in martial arts for the majority of the time he's been alive. He's lived in the wild for years, he's fought lots of wars that didn't require him to know much more than how to fire a gun and plenty of the enemies he fights don't require him to be skilled to beat them. He's had periods of training, but I really doubt that it was much of his long life. I don't know if the length of time Batman trained is more than Wolverine's, and I don't think it really matters. Batman has trained less than a lot of people he's better than. His dedication to his training and his ability to learn quickly mean the training he's had is probably better than the same amount (or more) training someone else could have undergone. I think that at any given time Batman is more skilled than Wolverine. Put them both in Captain America's body and I think Batman would win. Now, if you put them both in Captain America's body and let Wolverine relearn all that he's forgotten, he might win, but that's a different thing.

I like this theory, however I don't think it's as much as him forgetting as it is the Weapon X program messing with his brain.

This is a pretty good description. The only things I'd add to it is, keep in mind how many times Wolverine has lost his memories completely. He doesn't always forget how to fight but there are some occasions where he has gone completely feral and lost any semblance of martial arts skill from his fighting technique. I can remember him being retrained by Elektra among others. The problem also with Wolverine is we rarely see him as 'Wolverine the expert martial artist' and more often as 'Wolverine the bullet-sponge beserker' and it really degrades him overall. On the other hand, Batman is never shown as unintellingent or undisciplined. Bruce Wayne is always at the top of his game, even after recovering from injuries that would permanently cripple another man. I think Wolverine is a fantastic h2h fighter and I think he could be treated with more respect at times but on the whole, Batman is a better martial artist and that's the question so *shrugs*.

Yes i did. Being a mutant with healing factor is an edge because you get to execute things better and faster and easier. Besides, Batman uses gadgets along the way while Wolvie is just him and his claws.

Not only is Batman a better MA but he also has a tactical mind that would give him a huge advantage in a fight, he would probably be 2-3 moves ahead of Logan.

You should probably examine their actual showings. Wolverine has been trumped consistently by peak human martial artists. Batman has not.

Well, we must not based it on their actual showings because Batman has been written like he's more than human. It takes skills for Wolverine to use his claws without killing his enemies, unless the opponents are just robots. And if you look for a martial artist who'll train you, i doubt it if you could keep up with Wolvie's training since there would be parts when only superhumans can do it.

Actual showings or the things you've invented in your head without any proof? I know which one I'll go with. 
 
Batman is who he is, he's peak human in every way. His feats are on par with other peak humans like Captain America. Just because Wolverine is capable of using his claws without killing (which he rarely does) doesn't make him better than Batman. Batman knows as many lethal strikes as Lady Shiva and he has never killed anyone using martial arts. He carries batarangs, an edged shuriken that could easily penetrate a human skull and he throws dozens of them on a daily basis without having ever killed or seriously maimed anyone, ever. Wolverine can't make the same claim. Furthermore, I can't recall Wolverine having ever been trained by a superhuman. As I've said I remember him being retrained in martial arts by Elektra but she is athlete/peak human. Most of the martial arts Logan learned in Japan were taught to him by human samurai. Whilst Wolverine's mutant healing factor could allow him to survive wounds that would kill Batman, that doesn't make him a better martial artist. A better martial artist is the one who avoids the hit, not the one who takes it on the chin.

Yeah... and he is still better. Which means Logan is F'n Retarded or something... Good point... Batman wins because he is a better MA plain and simple.
