This upcoming feat is over-used as an anti-feat just because he was tagged, but we need to keep in mind here he was completely surrounded by 4 Mercenaries who were all attacking in rapid succession and at some points attacking simultaneously, for Bruce to monitor the activity of each thug and react to all of the incoming strikes isn't an easy task, also considering the fact they were armed with knives. But the fact that he manages to hold off all 4 while only getting tagged once on the cowl is impressive enough, and although they do tag him a few times after, this is due to the fact he gets hit out of nowhere and the fact that the mercs just kept getting back up, the fact that it took 7+ hits to put some of those mercs down speaks for itself, especially since we know how hard Bruce can hit.
It must have required great skill, combat speed and combat awareness to monitor the attacks of all thugs and not get tagged often, first he grabs the first merc's belt, while he punches the merc in front of him to incapacitate him to avoid a hit from him, he then goes back and hits the first merc in the face, this stuns the merc and allows Bruce to release his grip on his belt. He then hits the 2 mercs on his sides simultaneously, then proceeds to headbutt the merc on the left, now they were all stunned the first merc could have had time to recover, so Bruce pushes him back with an elbow strike. He then proceeds to simultaneously block 2 knife attacks from his sides, but the merc in front of him has recovered so he instantly goes in for a knife strike, Bruce dodges and moves to the left in order to use that merc in front of him as a quick shield to block strikes from his right. He quickly hits the merc on the right with a punch to the face, and performs an arm-breaker on the merc being used as a shield, this forces the merc to drop his knife and he is in immense pain, Bruce then kicks the merc on his right in the knee, this means he can no longer stand. So there is 3 left in the fight. The merc on his left quickly goes back in for another strike with his knife but it is blocked by Bruce and Bruce holds grip of his arm, the first merc goes back in for an attack, he is kicked backwards and Bruce uppercuts the merc he has a grip of. Then the first merc goes in for a hit but it is blocked and he is punched in the face, then the remaining merc gets punched in the head hard enough to flip him into the ground and break part of the ground. The last merc goes running in but Bruce dodges and tackles him to the ground, then pummels his head in until he is shot in the back of the cowl by a new fifth merc - Link.
