I think we can all agree Batman, Nightwing, Cass and red hood are the top 4, it’s just many disagree over where those 4 rank though most have Jason at 4th. I consider them the 4 horseman of the batfamily. As in the only ones that wouldn’t get spanked by Batman in a fight.

[@alexmason2659]

Batman has actually spanked them all when he wasn't holding back

As you said, this is comics, and that someone has an almost meta-human ability to read body language so can anticipate her rivals moves.

Almost perfect list, but a bit outdated I think. Nightwing has held the edge against Batman in each of their fights since 2014 and also been able to defeat foes such as Deathstroke and KGBeast with far greater ease than Bruce. Cassandra is also a bit nebulous to place now as she was easily dismissed by Batman in Gotham War (although he used the grapple to take her out) and lost alongside several members of the Bat Family (excluding Bruce, Dick, and Jason) against Thomas Wayne who is relative to Bruce.

[@bernardkizito5762]

Bats is still bats

[@sunryder]

@@bernardkizito5762That doesn’t really mean much if he’s been consistently outskilled by Nightwing, sometimes even with buffs and loose morals, and never holding back. Not saying that Nightwing has surpassed him in every way, not even close, but in terms of h2h combat skill, it looks like Dick is at least slightly better as of now.

[@bernardkizito5762]

Everyone loses a fight here and there sure, but u can't really believe dick is better than Bruce. Come on. Sure he's great, took a few wins here and there, but batman has proven more times than dick has that he's the top dog

[@sunryder]

@@bernardkizito5762 Batman proved that in the past, sure. But Dick has grown much better since then. It isn’t just that Dick takes a win every now and then. His outclassing of Batman is consistent recently, and really since 2014. Bruce hasn’t shown anything to indicate that he’s superior to Dick since then. On the contrary, Dick has outskilled Batman on multiple occasions, outskilled Bronze Tiger who is approximately Bruce’s equal, and defeated Deathstroke and KGBeast with far greater ease than Bruce’s recent encounters with them. If you want to claim that Bruce is a more skilled h2h combatant than Dick, then support your position with actual feats. Otherwise, the position doesn’t really mean anything.

[@BlackDynamite-kt5uz]

The most skilled fighter is definitely Damian Wayne. Damian was born & raised to become "The Demon's Head", the leader of The League Of Assassins & part of that is that he has to be a master, if not grandmaster of all hand to hand combat. Plus he learns & spars with Batman himself, Dick Grayson, & Jason Todd.

[@grayson2846]

Great list and video. I always live watching these. Based on the title….i might agree. I would probably put it this way… Bruce,Dick,Cass then Jason. “Skilled” can mean more than just how many fighting styles you are adept with and can use in a fight. Bruce has the determination and will to win in almost any fight …along with his skill. If I’m picking who would win in a fight….it has to always be Bruce….but of the 4…Dick is his equal. Great video.

[@BrysonYinglingUKR]

Jason and Cassandra could take on all members of the Batman at once and win. Cassandra especially could put everyone in the dirt if she really tried. Obviously, Damian is close to their level, but hes too reckless and hot headed, (and obviously so is Jason), but the main difference I notice is that sometimes Damian still acts impulsively while fighting while Jason has a better handle on his impulses. Cassandra has so much training ingrained in her that she just naturally reads body language and calculates before striking, never acting on impulse. Catwoman also deserves more credit than what she gets because she has gone toe-to-toe with Cheshire (almost winning, except for the Cheshire forfeited) and she has bested Talia Al Ghul).

So before I say anything...this is all purely my opinion. In terms of the top four fighters, My list is... 1- Batman (cause its literally his family and they trained under him) 2 and 3 is between Redhood and Nightwing (I will explain why after this) 4 - Cass (She goes with the explanation) Explanation - Cass had fought both dick and jason as a "test" if I'm correct. While she wasn't really trying (I think), the two brothers were. When she fought dick, he lost that fight pretty easy. However, when she fought Jason, he would have killed her if it wasnt for dick stepping in to stop him. Again this is all my opinion🤣

[@JJRegal4]

I'd slide Alfred above Stephanie Brown, and throw Terry McGinnis in around the Barbara Gordon/Kate Kane level. But other than that, the list is pretty spot on.

[@Daniel-si7zp]

I say Terry might be a bit less, I mean, sure he already knows how to fight like a skilled thug and after becoming Batman, he did get to start training properly like a Martial Artists, but Adult Damian has shown that Terry is still too reliant on his suit, able to maneuver around Terry and fight against him evenly (Adult Damian is confirmed to be superior to Prime Batman)

[@JJRegal4]

@@Daniel-si7zp I agree on Terry still being over reliant on tech, which is why I don't put him anywhere near the Robins. But he was still good enough to beat the suit itself. I think dropping him in around the Batgirl tier is fair (I actually have Kate ahead of Babs, too, but that's an entirely different matter). Where would you place him if you had to?

[@Daniel-si7zp]

@@JJRegal4 probably above Huntress, Terry in almost every incarnation is either a high school kid or a college student, so his time as Batman is definitely extremely short, probably even shorter than practically everyone on the list, but again, he is pretty young so give him like 3 years, he’ll surpass probably even Tim Drake, he is Bruce’s son after all.
