The scene that faced Batman was not one that he wished upon any of his current friends, or even most of his enemies. This was not ideal, not in the least bit. Three women, each one with their own unique set of capabilities in a fight, and sadly they all seemed to compliment each other. He had no idea that Catwoman was conflicted, and from what he saw she was snapping her whip as a threat to him in response to him pushing Madam Payen. His eyes narrowed as he did his analysis of each, wondering just what might be the best route to take. His back was to the wall, they were blocking his exit, there was no way to avoid the fight before him. In the short pause Batman used the time to regain his breath, and take a defensive posture.<br/><br/>Poison Ivy was not the best hand to hand fighter. Sure she could hold her own against most foes, but against well trained heroes she just didn't cut the mustard. Her abilities lied in the plant life that worked for her, her control over it easily made up for those short comings she had. Not to mention her pheromones were extremely powerful, and even phased him from time to time. In moments like this they would prove to be effective since he was already forced to focus on so many things, one of them being the need for oxygen.<br/><br/>Catwoman was highly skilled in the art of combat. Their previous encounters had all but proven that. Her weakness lied in her hubris when she started getting too comfortable kicking his ass she usually left an opening. The whip she was equipped with though was a huge advantage in the given moment. Batman knew he wouldn't make it to a batarang in time to use it, her whip was already out, Ivy's plants were stringing along the rooftop, there simply wasn't time for that. Of course those razor sharp claws had penetrated his suit more than once before in the past too, not to mention she had an uncanny ability to lure Batman into a false sense of security, as well as catch him off guard.<br/><br/>Then there was Madam Payen, this mistress was new to him and already had proven to be a worthy foe. Her ability to catch him off guard paralleled Catwoman's own abilities. Her ability to plan things out like Poison Ivy made her that much more dangerous, and while he was ultimately stronger than she was she had proven stronger then average. Her oozing sensuality was a distraction he could not afford to fall for. Above all she appeared to have a vendetta against him and that made her even more dangerous. The short crop she held was an advantageous weapon, in his chest and abdominal area it would prove to be ineffective, but if she managed to find the thin spots in his sides it would sting, not to mention his face.<br/><br/>In the end he had to keep his eye on the most dangerous foe, and that was the one he knew the least. He made his move her way, the distance between them was not great, so in two steps he had closed the gap and his right fist was already swinging toward her face. Connection would prove to be painful for most foes, many would end up down on the ground or at the very least seeing stars. It was only a matter of if he connected. Unfortunately he did not leave himself well protected from the left side, and if he missed he would be open to a harsh counter.
