Who is the closest rival to Batman???

The Dark Knight Batman

We all know the Dark Knight who is the master of martial arts, processes peak human strength, speed and agility if not greater.

However who is the closest Rival for Batman to consider worthy throughout all of fiction in terms of skill, experience, morals and an overall fighter leave your comments down in the thread.

you can list a character from any form of fiction (DC, Marvel, Anime/manga, video games ect)

And the character you've selected who do you prefer The Dark knight or the character you've selected?

Deathstroke and yeah I prefer him over Batman.

Black Panther. I like them both.

Captain America. Deathstroke, Wolverine and Black Panther are too much for him.

It have been long ago, but I remember the trio Harley Quinn, Poison Evy and Catwoman as Batman's worst nightmare, if the beginning wasn't hellish enough, which was composed by the duo of Harley Quinn and Poison Evy, when Catwoman entered, it was a complete nightmare, I don't remember any solid success by Batman in catching the trio even with Robin and Batgirl at his side.

Black Panther and a few others.

Deathstroke.

I'd say Captain America is the closest Rival if not superior to batman and I like them both.

Deathstroke

Lady Shiva.

Grandmaster Yoda.

Morales-Yoda purged the dark side from within him on his journey to immortality in the clone wars.He is compationate, courageous and heroic always putting the well being of others before himself. He is the epitome of someone who is morally sound.

Skill-Yoda mastered all 7 of the lightsaber combat forms. Imo Yoda was the best at using the lightsaber form Ataru. His knowledge and attunement to the force is immense and has only ever been rivalled by darth sidious.

Experience-He has been training Jedi for hundreds of years and was a general in the clone wars.

I honestly prefer Yoda over batman as a character.

Maybe we can add Moon Knight and Iron Man into the mix?

People saying Deathstroke, Deathstroke is superior in all of thier main engagements.

A rival implies they go back and forth.

• 1. The Joker (mind games harder than anything Bruce has faced, unquestionably no1 rival imo)
• 2. Deathstroke (pretty much one of the only people Batman could never succeed in defeating head on, plus mind games)
• 3. Gotham Sirens (not nearly as serious threats in the sense that they are not socipath murderes but Bruce never really managed to catch them working together did he?)

Slade

Red Hood is a Batman who kills. Maybe even John Constantine due to his trickery and nature.

TOAA

Slade

Punisher

Joker

Connor Hawke.

Probably Lex Luthor

I'd say Red Hood or Deathstroke. Red Hood and Deathstroke are both characters that are very similar that lack the moral compass that Bruce does. Deathstroke is more of a villain outright and reminds me of what Batman might have become if he ever decided to turn to crime. Red Hood however, is essentially a twisted version of Batman that lacks morals. He's a bit more like someone such as Punisher than Batman. Still a superhero, just lacks the morals that Batman does. Both of these villains can also challenge Batman and the Robins in combat.

Ra's Al Ghul

Deathstroke

Daredevil or Black Panther maybe Red Hood. Possibly even Solid Snake.

Deathstroke

The One Above All

Deathstroke.

daredevil

Wait wtf? The OP is asking for rivals of Dark Knight MOVIE Batman....

Batman.

Connor Hawke.

I know.

:)

@rockette: Comic Connor Hawke = Movie Nolan Batman?

Luthor Strode. The greatest mid tier to exist. The author even told me.

I think Connor Hawke just edges out TDN Trilogy Batman overall, but closest I could think of.

It's either Deathstroke or Black Panther.

Lol at idiots who says Captain America. He is inferior to Batman in every way except strength.
