He'd have to know about DD's hearing powers, which he wouldn't, and be carrying sonic devices tailored to fuck him up, which he doesn't.

Agreed. Best shit i've seen in a while. All of them are really really good. My favorite is probably The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2 on Amazon. But there are like 7 cartoon movies that are totally worth watching.

I wish their live action movies could match the quality of the animated stuff. They're well ahead there, don't think I've ever seen a bad DC animated movie or show. Great animation, characterization, and casting.

Then the size and scope of the comparison is just too big with too many variables. Yes, in a street clothes, i'm going with Matt over Bruce - in a random chance encounter -- i'm leaning towards Batman. But, under the assumption that they both know it's going down in X amount of Days, Batman trumps him every time
Comicvine has done this scenario in pretty good detail

I tend to go with both characters meet in a random location with no foreknowledge, seems like the most fair way to go.
I agree with prep and knowledge of Matt's weaknesses, Bats could really fuck him over with sonics.

has that ever happened in the DD comics -- attacking the senses? Like, theoretically, could a dog whistle fuck him up? Half Joking.
Does Bats not carry some sort of device that emits a frequency to call in a swarm of bats?
If the waves emitted by the device dont screw up DDs sonar, the swarm of bats that engulf will blind him for sure, giving Bats an easy win.

The incident that comes to mind was someone firing a gun right next to his head. I believe it was bullseye. He was in a lot of pain and his radar sense wouldn't work right but he powered through and finished whooping that ass. Of course Bullseye isn't batman but still.
Have to admit in all the batman comics I've read I can't recall him summoning bats. He could fight through some bats just fine, they wouldn't blind him as he's already blind. Hard to say how badly such a device would mess with his senses though.
I think people are underrating just how fast DD is.

batman because ben assleck ruined dd
Well Bats had one in Batman begins. I'm not sure about the comics.
When I said blind him (DD), I was talking about his Sonar senses. The sudden influx of a 100 flying rodents should mess up his sonar a fair bit to give Bats an opening.

Batman is overpowered in lot of scenarios because he's off panel with prep time. So when he finally goes in he already has the upper hand.
If DD and Bats just bumped into each other without knowing anything, well it definitely would be a close fight. I think Bruce edges him out.
Hell, Bats held his own when he found himself in impromptu meeting with an Amazo.

Good match up. I have to give it to Batman. They are probably equal in raw fighting ability, but Batman has more gadgets and tech that give him the edge. The main edge DD has is gone if Batman realized that he's actually blind, which then becomes a huge liability.

Batman via superior intellect and superior gear. He has the mind and resources to develop a perfect plan, and he has the skillset to implement it. This would look a lot like how he would defeat any of his other nemeses.

With the exception of his enhanced senses, everything DD can do, Bats can do better. And Bats could probably match DD's senses through technology, for example night vision goggles in his cowl.
In one of the DC - Marvel Crossovers, Bullseye is KTFO by Batman with a single punch. When he wakes up, he comments that Batman hit him harder than Daredevil ever did.

Batman is less agile and coordinated than DD. Likely stronger. Certainly more diverse fighting skill set. He's also very very smart and would probably figure out quite quickly that a dog whistle could be as effective as a kick in the balls here.

The Punisher got DD by firing rounds that put a lot of debris in the air which was too much for DD's sonar to handle.
This. Even in a chance encounter, it would take Batman only a few moments to figure out DD's abilities. And Batman always appears to have some sort of distraction tech on his belt.
Training wise, I have them on par, but I've always considered Batman the more physically imposing hero. I would also give the edge to Batman mentally. DD can be goaded into making mistakes through emotion.
Without Prep: Batman via 5 round split decision.
With Prep: Batman via KO within 10 seconds.
Sorry @Mike90 , I love DD too, but he does not beat Batman. Batman is a 1st round pick. DD is a low 2nd/ high 3rd rounder. The only human Marvel toon I got beating Batman straight up is the Black Panther.

DD has fought to a draw with Black Panther and Captain America, and has beaten Wolverine before. Daredevil has been gotten to by stuff like the Kingpin or Bullseye killing people he loves, not random trash talk.
Daredevil is stronger than a regular human just like Batman is, he's also much faster than Batman. Within the marvel universe DD is acknowledged by all the heroes as being one of the best fighters around.
Batman figuring out DDs lack of vision immediately would be more stupid writing, which happens all the time in comics, but is still stupid. Like Deathstroke beating up the JLA including the flash and green lantern, just because he's a badass. People have fought DD or alongside DD for long periods of time without realizing he's blind. There's nothing in his fighting style that gives that away. Same way many characters on't know about Spideys spider sense
Batman has done so much dumb stuff with zero explanation except "I'm batman", like beating up lobo or making a metal suit and fighting Darkseid with it. Fighting Superman even though supes is literally thousands of times faster than he is.
