Batman had seen it coming the moment he'd caught her foot. In fact, it was the<em>reason</em>he'd caught her foot. His armor was made to absorb the impact from bullets—a kick, even one from Dinah Lance—wouldn't do much more than stagger him. She had excellent aim, though, and her heel drove itself straight into his xiphoid process with enough force to make the plates of his armor create a smacking echo throughout the room. Batman was forced back a step so he could catch himself, but he managed to hang on to Canary's leg, forcing her to hop along to keep her balance.<br/><br/>"Solid kick," he commented, even as Dinah twisted in the air and launched another barrage of kicks at his midsection. In her current position, however, she just couldn't gather the leverage she needed to do any substantial amount of damage. Batman tightened his grip with his armpit, twisting his forearm under Dinah's captured leg and bringing his hand back toward his face, forcing her to bend her leg and close the gap between them. "With your leg up here, it's smarter to go for my knees, though. I can't guard them very well like this, and it lowers your risk of losing your footing."<br/><br/>With that, Batman dropped her foot and let her retreat a couple of feet. If she wanted to prove herself, he'd give her the chance. With a quick flare of his arms, he swished his cape back behind his shoulders and took a more traditional stance—sidelong to Dinah, with his forehand guarding low and his back hand ready to grapple. "Now get serious."
