<strong>Geek Talk (Who could beat who):</strong>A lot of<del>folks</del>geeks talk about the big versus debates in comics.  Now for the sake of this discussion and my opinions, I'm not allowing Batman to plan ahead for the encounter (because we all know Batman fans have made claims that with enough prep time, Batman could defeat Superman, Galactus and God).  This is just the two combatants thrust into the fray together in an urban setting.  Also keep in mind these are just my opinions.<br/><br/><strong>Batman vs Wolverine</strong><br/><br/>Wolverine's senses allowing him to detect a stealthy Batman trying to do hit and run tactics on him are the only thing making the fight fair in that match up.  In my opinion, Bats is the better fighter by a narrow margin (Wolverine has gotten lazy over the years... he used to fight with finesse, but now he just wades in and relies on his amped up regeneration to keep him in the fight), but there's not much in that utility belt that could confound Wolverine for long with that regeneration.  I think Batman takes down Wolverine 6 out of 10 times, but when he does win he collapses soon after.<br/><br/><strong>Batman vs Captain America</strong><br/><br/>One of Batman's greatest assets is the fact that he's honed his body to near perfection.  The problem with Cap is that his body -is- human perfection and thus he's stronger, faster and tougher than Bats.  Maybe not by much, but enough to make a difference in a fight.  Also, Cap and Bats are equal in terms of fighting.  People can argue that, but they are both considered the finest human combatants in their own universes (Marvel and DC).  It's like fighting Bane with a 6th degree blackbelt and decades of experience.  Thus Bats would have to fight dirty to win this one, and against someone like Cap, I'm not sure he'd be willing to do that unless the stakes were extraordinarily high.  Batman would respect Cap.  In a fight where the battle was determined by indestructible shield vs bat utility belt, I'd have to say it's pretty even.  If the two decided to throw down their weapons and just fight hand to hand, the battle would be long and epic, but I think Cap takes it 7 times out of 10.  The writer who did the Batman comic at one point was quoted as saying "Batman is the world's greatest detective.  Captain America is the world's greatest fighter."<br/><br/>Now what I'd really like to see is Batman vs Taskmaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taskmaster).  THAT would be epic.
