A new film adaptation of the Dark Knight is on the way with the release of The Batman. Several other actors have worn the mask and cape before Robert Pattinson. Christian Bale’s portrayal of Batman and Ben Affleck’s, whose portrayal has drawn some criticism, are examples. While many people have discussed the relative strengths of each depiction, fewer have wondered which would emerge victorious in a physical confrontation.
While many would probably side with Affleck’s Batman, there are good arguments to be made for Bale’s interpretation. Some of these include the various forms of danger they’ve encountered and their strategies for overcoming them. Because of all how they differ so drastically, a fight between these two Dark Knights would be unlike any other.

Ben Affleck’s Batman Has Fought Aliens and Gods
For several reasons, it seems like Ben Affleck’s Batman in the DCEU would come out on top in a fight. To begin with, like the version from The Dark Knight Returns, this one featured a more muscular and stocky build. This made it easy for him to deal with and receive a lot of damage from ordinary enemies. The classic “warehouse fight” in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice demonstrated how effortlessly he would manhandle normal opponents, revealing a much more severe fighting style and techniques than were ever seen on film.
Not only that, but he beat Superman “twice,” albeit in a Kryptonite-enhanced bout once. Despite wishing he had died after his previous battle with a revived Man of Steel, he nevertheless managed to survive. He was not much of a threat to the enormous creature Doomsday, yet he managed to outlive the monster’s rampage anyway. In addition to his impressive physical capabilities, he also possessed a vast arsenal of high-tech weapons.
Among these was a suit of armour capable of withstanding Apokoliptian weaponry, both heavy and lightweight variants of which were featured in Justice League. Thus, this Batman could easily shrug off everything an average person might hurl at him.
Christian Bale’s Batman Has Stealth on His Side
Christian Bale’s Batman is no slouch when it comes to sturdiness, either; he healed quickly after suffering severe spinal damage at the hands of Bane. Bane’s strength is on the verge of superhuman, thus it would take something genuinely on the metahuman scale to put this Batman down for good. He was additionally protected from bullets, tasers, and most attacks by armour that was bigger than several Batman costumes.
Christopher Nolan’s Batman was more of a master of shadows and detective than Ben Affleck’s version of the character ever was. As a result, he would likely be able to avoid danger more effectively than the brawnier, more direct Batman of the DCEU can.
This would allow him to land some solid strikes, while tools like the sticky bomb rifle might allow him to dispatch the hulking Batfleck from a safe distance. Although it would be unwise to employ it against Batfleck, the Pneumatic Mangler is another option. It’s possible that the DCEU Batman’s armoured outfits would be quickly dismantled by this metal shearing device from The Dark Knight, leaving him more defenceless than his adversary.
Which Batman Would Win the Day?
Despite having an advantage in weapons and training, the DCEU Batman would still certainly defeat his Dark Knight Trilogy counterpart in a fight. For one, Christian Bale’s darker, more realistic Batman found it difficult to face Bane, and the darker, more fantastic Batman of the DCEU would pose essentially the same threat. Moreover, if he used his armoured outfits, slowed down or not, that version of the hero would be able to initially tank most of what Bale’s would throw at him.
That the DCEU Batman can do so much despite his advanced age goes without saying. Though Bruce Wayne has aged a bit by the events of The Dark Knight Rises, he is still much younger than Batfleck’s battered and bruised Dark Knight. Age doesn’t stop him from fighting alongside the rest of the Justice League against the Parademons and Steppenwolf, something the Batman of the Nolanverse probably couldn’t say. Even though Ben Affleck’s Batman isn’t the most popular interpretation, he has a much better chance of winning a fight against Christian Bale’s Bats.
