Batman was able to avoid the woman's grip, but just barely and stood staring as she eyed him up and down. It seemed they both had the same though, examine the other, see what was there, and while he didn't find anything too alarming her words gave him cause for concern. Unfortunately he responded a bit too late and ate a fist to the jaw that reeled him backwards a little bit. Normally it would have snapped a person's head to the side, in his suit though the stiffness didn't allow for his head to readily move from side to side so the impact turned his whole body.<br/><br/>She had clearly come to play, for whatever reason, and he had not been prepared to deal with her. His gloved right hand went up and touched where she had connected, it was a little sore, but nothing he hadn't felt in the past. In fact he had felt much worse in the past, but the shock had added value in this case and from a woman nonetheless.<br/><br/>Batman balled up his right fist, took a menacing step or two forward, and swung a slow looping right hook for her face. As it got closer to her he realized that she was just a woman and took a bit of the edge off, to where if the punch did connect it would only be about half his strength, this also slowed the punch down tremendously.
