Nightwing has fought Deathstroke to a standstill many times..

Thank you for at least giving Wonder Woman an honorable mention. She was mostly left of the list for her super strength, but she is regarded as the greatest meal a fighter on the planet, considering she has over three thousand years worth of experience and training under her belt and as a master of every weapon there is.

an ideal hero should be Positive Cunning Intelligent Self driven and understanding Caring Selfless and many more And i think dick grayson is the best example

[@DogsAreTheBest312]

I agree! He’s my favorite DC character. He’s basically Batman, but happy. And sociable. And you know, approachable.

[@gabrijelaziza9768]

@@shilohgraumann4679 alot of them use magic and similar powers vandal is alot about fighting styles and knifes

[@jasonbean1176]

Nightwing gets my vote. His early training in gymnastics gives him an edge in agility, his training with Batman an unparalleled fighting skill. He can elude an opponent and escape if necessary.:)

[@NasAfter]

Your reasoning of putting Batman at spot 3 is that he holds back But that reason doesn't make him a LESS SKILLED FIGHTER, It just makes him less deadly So in my opinion that reason doesn't make sense to downgrade the skill of a fighter

[@AzzAra09]

Batman and his not killing rule = less dangerous in a fight, so yes, actually he could be more deadly but he won't, it's the same reason why he doesn't bring more powerful tech in his standard equipment. The best evidence was during his fight against Slade in 2015 or 2016, there is a scene where Slade basically was almost defeated and he could have been killed, but Batman doesn't kill and this was a advantage for Slade to strike back. Even at the begining of the fight Slade basically said: Batman doesn't kill, that's my edge. Batman holds back all the time, many people still underestimate this thing but it's hugely important, especially against some particular enemies. You're not willing to kill? Fine, that's mean you're not willing to win.

[@mysticgod7035]

Nasser Feed no holding back is a big deal he doesn’t go for deadly blows so his opponent would most likely last longer since his opponent doesn’t hold back and will do anything but Batman doesn’t.

[@KingGreen78]

You're right, can't is not the same as won't ,superman doesn't kill that doesn't mean he doesn't have the strength to break you in half

[@maddoxwiener2619]

Just because he doesn’t kill doesn’t mean he ain’t gonna sever your spine and give you permanent brain damage

[@kershonkoracg.bumanlag1023]

Hes below lady shiva and richard dragon because they trained him and both lady shiva use every form of martial arts at their full potential

[@celticmagiclad9928]

I honestly thought Wild Cat should have had a slot. I mean hes literally the Master of Boxing

[@JulianRodriguez-sn6nr]

Facts and the fact he's trained a lot of heroes and they still don't put him on the list, questionable move on their part in my opinion.

[@jackpopo4673]

He master box ... Only all the others on the least have master multiple martial art, I think it's normal.

[@neato3172]

Nightwing should have been at least a little higher on the list, he's a really awesome fighter.

[@senshaw6640]

batman is a better fighter

[@udbhavsinha3987]

@@senshaw6640 obviously he is, he never said Nightwing should be above Batman , imo he should be 6th-7th on the list

But the characters above him deserved the spot though...

[@accountant3847]

Nah... cassandra is more skilled & better fighter than him

[@popcultureclips182]

@@accountant3847 yup

[@NovaScotiaNewfie]

So not killing means you are less skilled? How does that mean your technique is not as good? Not saying Batman should be higher. But that is not a valid reason.

[@ProfessionalCommentor]

NovaScotiaNewfie I think its more so as in he doesn’t use certain techniques that can be considered powerful and have never been shown so we don’t know his limits.

[@tomchuur6431]

It means you won't win some fights which sets you back as a fighter

[@MerkTheVillain]

Takin too long to finish an opponent shows lack of skill

[@MerkTheVillain]

Like the reason you stop the clock after you make a move in chess

[@LegendInThaMakin]

You don’t get it, Batman holding back means he’s always pulling his punches. He isn’t striking with lethal force like pretty much everyone else on this list would. Him not striking with lethal force all the time is what’s holding him back from being an even deadlier fighter. He’s never going all out.

[@jearn11]

I was once told "Batman is the world's greatest detective, and the second greatest at everything else."

[@vpaulbartilucci8544]

There was an interview with John Byrne at least 15 years before The Batman / Captain America crossover was released and he said much the same thing. He said Bats is second to Cap in hand-to-hand but Batman is also the second best escape artist on Earth (behind Mister Miracle), the second best disguise artist on Earth (behind the Human Target), and etc. Batman can do everything to such a high degree he doesn't have to beat you up to beat you.

[@ratnajeetshyamkunwar]

I guess, it's still Impressive. Whoever is first in their respective field, knows mostly about their particular field. Mister Miracle is escape artist, Karate Kid is martial artist, Lex Luthor is scientist. But Batman is all in one. He has consumed all knowledge and still can give first rank holder a run for their money. Not to mention he has at least once defeated all of the above at least once. And also holds titles like the greatest detective, the most dangerous man on earth, the greatest crime fighter, the most dangerous vigilante and so and so.

[@vpaulbartilucci8544]

Exactly.

[@ramoncastillo9129]

Isn't the greatest detective "detective chimp" leave a like if you this D.C. character.

[@owaindark8050]

Everything everyone said so far is true, but isn't it often regarded that Tim Drake is possibly a better detective then Batman?

[@jesusenriquez1236]

Karate Kid was voiced by Dante Basco! The Same voice actor that did the voice of Zuko in Avatar: the Last Airbender!

[@meeadrahman7308]

Not saying he should be number 1, but since Batman holds back and has defeated many considered more skillful than him, shouldn't he be higher? By holding back he's reducing lethality, not overall skill. Edit: The same goes for anyone who doesn't use lethal means, like Nightwing

[@twinklestar1687]

Even if you are a top fighter with some of the best superpowers, you can't beat Batman. Because he's freaking Batman.

[@mrdevilduck1625]

Facts 😂

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Yeah that plot armor is a bitch to get around

[@blackfire7149]

agreed

[@chickenmcnuggets9669]

Have you seen his contingency plan?

[@ianlydington6313]

Bronze tiger walloped him. Batman went back to the drawing board and still couldn't win.

[@NepalmDragon]

Jason Todd definitely deserves to be on this list. He's been trained by the people who trained the League of Assassins and beaten Lady Shiva along with 3 or 4 others at the SAME TIME. I'm not trying to put him at #1 or even the top 5, but he seriously deserves a spot on the list

[@SubiiiJ]

Andre Okosi salty

[@melvinvarghese8616]

Andre Okosi I agree ,but if he were to be on the list he'd be below dick ,which is at the 10th place

[@chanceofbliss8175]

Andre Okosi nah dick is far better than him, the highest he could be would be honourable mention

[@connorcalder8191]

Melvin Varghese he has beaten dick though and fought both dick and Damien to a stalemate (and did the same with batman and dick and batman and tim)

[@emeniel1854]

+Connor Calder and Dick beat the hell out of Jason, when he used all his possible dirty tricks. Nah. Everything depends on the writer and what they want to tell, but canonically Jason is behind Bruce, Cass and Dick. If this 3 are not in the top, then Jason has no place in top 10. DC has a lot of good fighters, that better than Red Hood.

[@aingeal1868]

Interesting list! I feel like Cass should be higher, above Batman and tied with Shiva. Even after the reboot where she has significantly less feats and experience, Bruce admitted that if it came down to a fight between them she would win.

[@jeramahia123]

Yes!

[@Outspokenbean]

I thought Wonder Woman wasn’t on the list because she’s super powered but, if she could be in the honorable mentions then she should’ve been on the list.

[@Pimpnocchio]

Cass's whole thing is that she's better than her mother, I don't understand why she's so low. Same with Grayson, he's almost as skilled as Bruce if not they're tied.

[@sinosleep007]

poor Cass forever being shitted on #savecass

[@manfreddefonce6636]

Same with Bronze Tiger. The guy is so good Batman always has to cheat in order to beat him in a fight and is on par with Richard Dragon.

[@superheroart7533]

Mr_No_Shit_Sherlock. My reasoning is he’s beat slade countless times and slade is top 5, plus slade has healing and super strength which in this list we shouldn’t be considering. Also he’s considered a better fighter than Batman by many

[@sopsum]

Wonder Woman should be on this list. Even without her powers she would be a formidable fighter. This is often overlooked because of her power level. Even Batman thinks of her as one of the best fighters/warriors on Earth.

i think wonder woman deserve to be on the list as she was trained by amazons' best fighters for millennia.

[@OrionPaxion]

I think RedHood (Jason Todd), Robin (Damian Wayne), Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), and Red Robin (Tim Drake) should be on the honorable mentions at least.

[@chrisglob4481]

Will T Barbara, Damian, and Tim are a no. Jason yes.

[@JS-gd8wf]

Will T if you train under batman your a good fighter that's not batman over hype but it is true you'll end up being a good fighter. I don't think Tim or Barbra should be on that HM because Tim is more of a detective than a fighter and Barbara is paralyzed ( lol ) but (not to discredit Barbra) but even the people on the HM in this video could probably beat Barbra

[@alfredlerat452]

[@davidfrancisco5777]

Damn you are behind, damian hasnt been dead in years and Barbara hasnt been paralyzed in a long time

[@jd7062]

Ever since the new 52, we got an even edgier and more bad-ass fighter out of 10 year old Damian Wayne. We are talking about a kid who can easily take on Deathstroke and even Dick. He was trained everyday from toddler-hood to the age of 10 by the League of Assassins and their leader Ra's al Ghul. himself.While Dick did win the fight against Damian, he was badly injured in the process and Damian has proven he can get the upper hand at times to. Damian should have been on this list and since he would be more willing to at times go further then other Robin's, like Kidnap Jonathan White, Clark (Superman) and Lois White's 10-year-old son, AKA Superboy, that he should have been higher then Nightwing!

I'm still trying to figure out why Wonder Woman is not on this list. For goodness sake, Batman himself said that Wonder Woman is possibly the best melee fighter in the world. Anyone would be a fool to piss Wonder Woman off. For Christ's sake, this woman can beat the literal God of War in a fight. The god of freaking War! Forget about beating Batman, lady's Sheba, Damian Wayne, Robin, or any other fighter on this list. She beat the deity who literally is a personification of combat! Not to mention that in the timelines where the Justice League had to face off against the evil counterparts, Wonder Woman always seems to beat hers with no assistance while the other struggle.

@@movieblocks9164 that makes no sense powers are normal for her they won't go away ever so she'll beat every body on here also deathstroke has powers why is he on here

[@movieblocks9164]

BECAUSE DEATHSTROKE IS A MASTER TACTICIAN AND COMBANTANT EVEN WITHOUT HIS POWERS! In a hand to hand fight without powers, deathstroke would be wonderwoman. And he is basing this list on martial arts skills and hand to hand skill. wonderwoman is great at hand to hand, but nowhere as good as anyone else.

[@chineeboy18]

I really thought Wonder Woman was going to be at one. Besides Batman calling her the best melee fighter on the planet. She is known for strict trianing on paradise island in various types of weapons. I also saw no mention of Huntress trained almost by the same masters as Black Canary and Big Barda who was honor gaurd for Darkseid's furies, both of which are also fierce fighters.

[@albertbrammer9263]

She is the best because her speed means she can just evade punches if she wishes. Like Batman, it is only that she holds back that she doesn't just kill all the time.

[@patrickstar3820]

I think the list should've been about the most skilled fighters, rather than the best tbh. Pretty sure wonderwoman being able to catch bullets puts her reactions faster than most on this list. Then her stamina and healing factor also means she has more endurance than most. Lastly, if she uses 1% of her striking force and someone like batman blocks it, they should lose every bone in their body. Considering that she can level a mountain
