I think the radar would be the difference. DD's able to see 360 degrees, which should prevent Batman from ambushing him.

If Batman knows that he is going to fight Daredevil. I think Batman would win. He would have some fancy doohicky that would help him out.

Otherwise, I'm not really sure.

Ah, a classic. I'd say it goes to DD, but just barely. The superpowers make the difference. Also, it depends on which version of Batman and of DD we're using. Miller's Dark Knight could take anybody. Likewise, Miller's DD was a tough customer. Yellow DD might make some mistakes, but he could edge out Year One Batman.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Depends on the situation really. A totally random meeting with neither of them expecting it or really knowing anything about the other does in some ways even the playing field. Batman is very smart and has plenty of gadgets, but the DD has his own capabilities. Out of 10 fights, Batman wins 3, the DD wins 4, and there are 3 draws. Now if both sides have time to prepare, then Batman wins by default. What Batman specializes is the ability to study his opponent and then take him down. This has allowed Batman to take down Superman and also create plans to take down every single member of the JLA.

DD might win but honestly he's not strong enough(him vs Cap and Cap whoomped him...and most of Marvel and DC puts those two on the same scale)

Also they did this for a one shot...and Daredevil...did pretty much nothing to Bats.

DD's radar sense works nice, but only problem is the instant Batman figures it out(they way DD moves and attacks is a good give away signal)...he'll literally overwhelm one of the other sense(tear gas...etc)

Batman wins more because he's the stronger of the two...and he uses more gadgetry in contest of this sort.

Daredevil depends on his ears for his radar sense. Batman carries sonic grenades, as well as sonic nullifiers that can sneak by SUPERMAN'S ears. As soon as he figures out Daredevil's weakness he'll take him down. On the other hand, in a dtraight hand to hand fight there's no gaurentee that Daredevil is any better than Batman. DD has superior senses, but Batman has trained from the best, and is more of an Evil Bastard.

To be fair, Daredevil has trained with some really good people too.

True...but Stick and few others.

Training aside...Bats is simply dirtier. I mean DD tries to play by proverbial rules...Batman has no such thoughts and only relents upon killing someone.

Literally DD also has the weakness that even if Bats doesn't use Sonic grenades..he has other convential tools that hurt DD just about as much since each of the other sense DD has are also on hyper mode...and is his primary strength and biggest weakness.

I'm not certain just nullifying sound would work. DD also has extremely heightened other senses. The smell of Batman might be detectable (he once smelled the odor of burnt matches on a person who had started a fire either one or two days before...don't remember which). Additionally, DD felt that a picture had been removed from a wall before a fire because the paint had burnt differently under it, and could even tell the size of the photograph for later identification. I don't know if he'd be able to feel air currents, but it's a possibility (though I'll admit I haven't seen the ability in the comics...I've only read half a dozen DD ones). It would definitely be a close fight.

True...but debilating his hearing would be devastating...more because it's not just making him deaf it's level of pain involved.

DD has a high threshold but he's been shown that if the pain is too great(Punisher used this tactic a couple time...overwhelm one of his senses so he's going into unconciousness) he basically falls down.

So literally his greatest power is his largest weakness.

Yes, he can feel air currents. In one issue, can't recall the exact one but Ghost Rider was in it, a ninja threw some throwing stars at him and he could feel the air currents. I assume he would be able to detect Batman's batarangs through this as well.

I would give it to Dare Devil if he finished it quickly, if its a long fight it goes to Batman. Once Batman figures out that DD is blind, he will use that against him.

Batman wins due to his supply of Bat-Daredevil-Repellant.

after reading the posts i have come to a conlusion that either of them can win. I believe that both of them are equal in strength and fighting ability. In their first encounter DD will win hands down. I don't believe that batman will figure out that quickly what DD powers are and will be open to too many pre-emptive strikes due to DD senses. After that Batman will probably win in later fights

I go with The Batman. He was able to sneak up on Superman.

That was superman, Daredevil can hear your heart beat clearly through walls. I highly doubt that batman can sneak up on DD unless batman is aware of DD senses and uses something to distort them, in that case it really wouldn't be sneaking up
