Even better, it shows how Batman can still be a threat at 60. He's not stronger, but he's smarter and more experienced. He fought him like a "surgeon", not a brawler, tactically playing his opponent right into his hands and then breaking his limbs one by one.

Boxers especailly know that head wounds bleed alot and blood in the eyes burns like a son of a bitch, whilenit may end some bouts in a sport setting, in a street setting it partially blinds the recipient and they have to suffer until the fights ends (or even more after it ends if it's the wrong guy).

Some of the lines Batman has in this movie are so iconic and epitomise the essence of the dark knight like, "This isn't a mudhole; it's an operating table...and I'm the surgeon", and when addressing Superman after beating him down by using intelligence and force "I didn't have to go easy on you...I want you to remember that...in all the years to come, in your most private moments; I want you to remember the one man who beat you." There are plenty more that I could mention! I still don't feel any live action version or actor has been able to truly become the dark knight. The only one that came close was perhaps the dark knight trilogy in my opinion, but even that didn't fully give you that feeling that Batman is this supremely intelligent and highly trained martial artist that is formidable, unstoppable, inevitable and unable to be intimidated. Some sort of constant stalking shadow that never stops, cannot be overpowered and a source of terror. For me that's the true dark knight, and until a live action version portrays that and hones in that. I'll still prefer the animated versions. Edit: This scene from "Batman: Gotham Knight - The Dark Knight" also demonstrates what I mean... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CqZ6J9nq-qkKs&ab_channel=FlashbackFM

Potentially hot take: this fight was better than the Superman fight at the end of the comic/Part 2. Don’t get me wrong. Love the Superman fight too, but this one feels more... gritty? Is that the right word? It’s more down to Earth. We’re not bring thrown through buildings, it’s literally just a mud hole (which is actually an operating table).

[@paanjaan]

"And you are not too bright" He should have stopped fighting him at that moment and go cry to corner :D

[@honeybadgerdontcare4763]

One of my favorite movies. The joker fight at the amusement park is great to

[@masternoob9673]

And *That’s* how you takeover an empire

[@Ben82077]

Batman: You don’t get it son....This isn’t a mud hole ..it’s an operating table...and I’m the surgeon. Don: You know something...I don’t think Batman ever went to medical school. Gang member: Shhhh

[@subscorpion9560]

Just love how Batman beats his bigger opponent from slowing him down in mud, showing how he’s more skilled in combat, cut above his eyes to blur his vision, hit him more in his injured nose, chi blocked (lack for better word lol) his arm and finally broke 2 more limbs before beating his already malformed face to a pulp.

When fighting your inner demons, slow them down, take a breath, and keep fighting.

“Your slow old man” “We’re all slow when we’re thigh deep in mud, and your not too bright” Best Batman comeback ever

[@benjo8547]

“Okay, son. Show me.”. Badass.

BANE: “Okay, I can't breake him anymore! Imma heading out first!”

[@Born2beSPRA]

I feel like Batman is the T-800 because he knows pressure points and what kind of cuts work in a fight. He said peg Batman? My man Batman ain’t going let that happen

[@Suusleepy]

Dude won, then made sure he won enough for every fight in the future

[@marko8962]

I loved this version of batman more than any other

[@gabrielcarrasco9078]

Batman doesnt kill. He just beats and maims you so bad, you feel like youre dead.

[@Felyx90]

Imagine a Dark Knight game by Rocksteady with the same voice actors of the animated movie

[@motakuevooy9042]

The mutant leader has the same voice of young kratos

[@finesturchin0672]

True

[@Potatoman_-fx3gs]

[@goliath1179]

3:44 Batman: you’re all my bitches now

[@tedscheett9420]

So nice of Batman to supply the Mutant Leader with free healthcare.
