[@rosePetrichor]

The way they both kept having to adjust and learn during the fight as they realised just how skilled each other were was great to watch. Batman dodges Shredder's basic strikes, so he gets more aggressive. Batman responds with gadgets and grapples, so Shredder closes the distance even faster. Batman carefully watches how he strikes with the blades and gets an angle to cut them off. All so good

[@pocketmonster1088]

I especially like how Shredder resorts to efficient, effective blows after his claws are broken. He only lands a couple major hits toward the end, but both the throat jab and chest blow were clearly intended to be as effective as possible to take Batman out before he could gain the advantage from his being unarmed.

[@ArkAngelHFB]

@@pocketmonster1088Also notice... Batman controlled the distance as the faster one... But shredder changed his range and aimed for soft spots at the end with that knife hand.

I like how batman lost mainly because he underestimated shredder's disipline and nerve. Batman's biggest weapon is fear. For as skilled as he is (and he is pretty damned skilled), he specifically became a bat and take on a serious and deadpan persona to indice fear onto his opponents. Makes sense he would eventually grow over reliant on fear and give confident and disiplined opponents who don't scare easily an opening.

Cool fact: in the follow up story to the comic this movie is based off of, Batman is forced to release the Shredder from prison to help him and the Turtles defeat Bane, who has taken over the Foot Clan. Shredder agrees to go back to prison after helping them on one condition: he and Batman face off one on one, in one last fight, before he helps them defeat Bane. They never say who wins, but it really demonstrates just how much respect Shredder has for Batman as a warrior.

[@FlatPlutoSociety]

One thing that makes me laugh about this movie is that Batman, a guy whose life is largely devoted to fighting organized crime and secret societies, is apparently unaware of the existence of the Foot Clan, and Shredder apparently came to do crime in Gotham without knowing that the city is protected by a world-famous hero. Obviously the story wouldn't work as well and we wouldn't get awesome scenes like this one if they were all aware of each other beforehand, but it's still pretty funny.

It's worth remembering that it almost always takes all four of the turtles, plus at least one ally and some special condition to beat the Shredder. And they nearly always come out from the fight battered and broken. The fact that Batman was able to 1v1 him speaks VOLUMES about both fighter's abilities.

[@MegaTech81]

You can clearly see Batman's thought process throughout the whole fight. First he goes on the defensive; this is an entirely new opponent he's never faced before, so he tries to get to know his fighting style, speed, and aggression. When he makes a mistake and gets body hauled a great distance, he realizes that shredder is a skilled striker but has terrible defense against grappling. He then adapts his style to incorporate more short range jiujitsu and judo and nearly wins because of it. He then makes the clumsy mistake of assuming that he's imprinted enough of his fear tactics to make Shredder actually fear him. That, coupled with his analysis of shredder's fighting style suggesting nothing about magic based attacks; leading to his coup de grace catwalk jump.

[@therizzler777]

[@PainfulEditz]

​@@therizzler777Ikr, I was literally laughing when he jumped down like an actual idiot

[@bradleylovej]

I don't think Shredder has terrible defense against grappling. When he's being 'grappled,' Batman is counterattacking him. Shredder is in a compromised position where not many people would be able to stop being thrown. That's the nature of martial arts. If you notice, Shredder counters Batman with throws multiple times. That's just how it goes. What really hurts Shredder isn't 'being bad at grappling,' it's when he starts throwing big kicks that Batman easily counterattacks. If you notice, when it's hands, Shredder seems to have the advantage, and when it's feet, Batman does. In my mind, "Being bad against grappling," would mean Batman is actively trying to grapple and Shredder can't stop him. Like Zangief walking up and piledriving him. Not being thrown because Batman has good defense.

Unfortunately Shredder had one legendary resistance left and burned it on the DC25 WIS save (or he just rolled a nat 20), which let him manage to get off his BS Polearm Master/Sentinel-esque opportunity attack when Batman entered his extended threat range. At least he just used Stunning Blow instead of Quivering Palm. Batman's usually one step ahead, but looks like this time he forgot to read the Adventurer's Guide to TMNT campaign supplement to preview what broken nonsense the devs gave the final boss. Maybe he was counting LR uses and thought Shredder was out (one to resist the grapple gun, two during the fight) and didn't realize the book actually gave him _4_ (powercreep in 5e is getting out of hand).

Awesome stuff. Though in reality, there were several exchanges where the smaller blades on Shredder’s forearm and shin armor ought to have slashed up Batman’s arms and legs pretty badly - simply by reason of the sharp edges, and the amount of force they were both putting into their strikes and blocks. But hey - cartoons - right?

@@DeathReviews I'd like to think that Batman's armor, especially his gauntlets, are more than a match for pressing up against Shredders blades (it's for knives and small arms fire and, fun fact: In this batsuit, the reason the icon on his chest is yellow is because it's _literally_ a target, it's the most armored spot on his body). If Shredder connected a hit, like he hit that railing, I'm sure he would have torn right through it, but simply pressing up against it to throw him or block something with his gauntlets, would be alright. Also the wing tips on those gloves are pointy, and sharpened, but they're for defense rather than cutting implements (sharp just in case he _needs_ to cut through something), so they're thicker and practically designed for him to turn away blades, including the Shredder's But, *AGAIN,* as I said above ^

I love how although Shredder should have made a final blow, he was savvy enough to realize that if he tried, Batman likely still had some fight in him and would not just allow himself to be taken down. With how drained he was from the blows he took, his main weapons broken, and using that enhanced strike, he knew if the fight continued he had a strong possibility of losing. So although leaving an opponent alive who had learned how he fought would be a bad idea, he had no choice but to back away while he still had the chance.

I love analyzing fights, and this one is worth analyzing. Let's start with Batman. First, he uses his grapple to try to restrain Shredder, and then Shredder cuts it. Not many blades can do that, so obviously, Batman is perturbed bye this turn of events. A boss killing his subordinates isn't anything new to him, Joker does it when he thinks it would be funny, so that's not what makes him put up his guard. It's the very clear danger that Shredder's blades pose. Then when Shredder basically drops down without so much as making a sound, that's when Batman realizes that he needs to play absolute defense until he can figure out how his opponent fights. He's then told that zoning won't cut it, as Shredder effortlessly blocks his batarangs, and notice where Batman was aiming- The _face._ Batman usually uses these to hit the main body and chest area, but he knows that his opponent is so fierce and tough that he can't take chances and is willing to go for the eyes. A lot of Batman's tactics change to using grapples and throws to deal some damage until he's finally able to disable one of Shredder's claws, at which point he takes an advantage and manages to gain the upper hand until Shredder hits Batman's throat and is ultimately able to disable Batman with his technique. But that's not to say that Shredder was flawless here. Admittedly, his experience with otherworldly threats and mutants in general meant that Batman's intimidation tactics weren't going to work here. He had Batman on the defensive until the Dark Knight started grappling Shredder, where his claws wouldn't be as effective. He clearly showed a slight edge in speed, as he was able to react to Batman's batarangs, and as stated earlier: _Had Batman on the defensive for most of the fight._ But once his claws were gone, so were all of his major advantages. Shredder was then put on the defensive, and while he got in some good hits, it was clear that his reliance on his claws is what did him in. His final technique would have likely been a lethal one had his claws not been broken earlier. And while he tries to claim that he was being merciful, it was clear that he wouldn't last that long in a prolonged fight against the Bat. And even if he came out on top, a random thug, or one of the Turtles would have been able to easily take him out. This battle was an intense showcase of both fighters' arsenal and tactics, and while we don't see much out of Batman's outside of his batarangs and grapple, it was an awesome showing of his martial arts prowess and fighting ability. Going up against a foe that's completely new to him and managing a *_draw_* is incredibly impressive for both sides. We like to meme on how prepared Batman is for fights, but he was out of his wheelhouse for this one, and it showed. Meanwhile, Shredder was also in foreign waters as he wasn't prepared for an opponent who could actually disarm him before being stabbed.

[@philippeblais8594]

Very nice analysis. Though i will add to your point about Shredder dipping out when he did. Not only did he realize he couldn't too long. But he was also running on empty since that ultimate strike he used burned everything he had left in the tank. Leo explains this move later on to Bats.

I think Batman tried his cape jump for one of two reasons: either he did it as an intimidation tactic, like it usually evokes a sense of fear in his local thugs, or it was meant to help actually jump & glide down more easily like in the Arkham games

[@ianfinrir8724]

I could see Batman doing it just because he always does that and it almost always works.

[@abdulsanni-adam6006]

It serves both purposes: intimidation and slowing down his descent by making his cape act like wings

[@DoctorFail]

Probably could a let him change his direction in case shredder tried getting out of the way. Or assumed because he was higher up, his body was silhouetted, and tried to obscure his kick. Or just you know...force of habit

[@imed-ha77]

Batman could have won mid diff, but they wanted to make it more intense

[@davecrupel2817]

Im betting on both. That was a rather high jump. And if you know anything about Batman, you know intimidation is a biiig part of his shtick. 👌 Unfortunately for him, either he felt he was running out of options/tactics, or he underestimated Shredder's confidence and resilience to intimidation.

If you'll notice, Batman only pulled the air takedown after he'd taken the throat-strike. He knew that he and the Shredder were too evenly matched when it came to hand-to-hand combat for him to be in any condition to do anything afterwards. So he tried the flying kick to to end the fight quickly, but the Shredder countered with the sato oshi strike that immobilized Batman long enough for him to escape. In short, Batman gambled, and Batman lost.

I love how Batman had shredder clearly on the defensive but then decided to rely just a little too much on the whole "criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot" bit when he makes that big old shock and awe leap. You can almost hear him screaming "BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!!". And shredder replying. " And I don't CARE.". Shredder has always had temper and impulse control issues, but one thing he's never been is cowardly. Unless maybe you count the 80s kids show where he basically became a farce.

U obviously don't know fighting. U say shredder was on the defensive .u do know fighting isn't about all offense.playimg defense is just as important.also shredder won the fight. Batman's organs were damaged Wich is why blood started coming out his mouth.shredder had no blood

@@chosensoul323 hard to tell as he was wearing a full facial mask at the time but he was definitely winded and injured. although how much of that was from the fight and how much was from thev sheer effort of making the master blow(which is described as being a last resort technique by the way) is up for interpretation. Be that as it may shredder is both a villain and an assassin and I really don't think he would have let Batman live if he wasn't too injured to actually continue the fight. right up until the master blow however shredder was getting his blades broken and being knocked around like a rag doll... Shredder hadn't expected to be fighting someone his equal and it showed.
