Batman’s abilities are a matter of legend. In his comics, Batman has routinely taken on DC’s greatest powerhouses, from Superman to Wonder Woman. He’s one of the smartest tacticians around, and that’s led to the common fan-belief that, should Batman have sufficient prep time, he can beat anybody. We saw that theory tested to the limit in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, when Ben Affleck’s Dark Knight came within a hair’s breadth of killing Superman.
Where the Punisher is a soldier, Batman is a warrior. He honed his combat skills by traveling the world, and has been described as a master of over 127 different types of martial arts. He rarely uses guns, but that doesn’t mean he’s unarmed — Batman has dedicated the incredible wealth of Bruce Wayne to building up an impressive arsenal of customized tools. His batsuit is composed of Kevlar and Nomex, resistant to all but the heaviest gunfire, and his utility belt is famous for having pretty much anything you can imagine inside it.
For the sake of leveling the playing field, let’s assume that there’s no prep time. In this scenario, Batman’s batsuit would protect him from most of the Punisher’s ordnance, and his combat skills simply outweigh the Punisher’s. Both men have a tremendous tolerance to pain, so the battle wouldn’t be a quick one, but I simply can’t see the Punisher walking away victorious from this one.
In truth, though, the Punisher is unlikely to be committed to this fight; I suspect his only goal would be to escape, so as to continue his one-man war on crime. It’s possible that, given the right tools to hand, the Punisher could shake Batman off his tail long enough to get out of Gotham. Even then, though, if he chose to remain in Gotham, Batman would track him down in the end.
Regretfully, I have to say that I think Jon Bernthal’s wrong about this one. While I tend to view Batman’s reputation as a tad exaggerated — some fans seem to imply he could overthrow the world’s government given a day’s prep time — this is one fight he’d easily win. I’m giving this one to Batman.
