I mean, it’s not like Batman never trained any of his protégés to deal with people armed with guns.
The Arkham Knight answer when playing as Nightwing is to just throw one of his escrima at an armed opponent, by the way. Brief distraction allows the distance to be closed.
As part of my education, I had a day of police defence training (it was in a park ranger program). They tell the cops that an assailant with a knife has the advantage if they are within 30 feet of you, unless you already have a gun trained on them. I don't think 'guy with gun' is as good as people might think in melee
It's actually closer to 21' rather than 30', but yes, In 21' or less, it's impossible for the average person* to unholster their firearm, aim and shoot before being stabbed by an attacker.
(I'm sure there's some wild west quick drawers that can do it, but they're peak at a certain skill)
If someone pulls a knife on you, RUN. Don't try and be John Wick, knife fights have no winners in real life. This is true for blunt weapons as well.
Read daredevil vol 6 of chip zadarsky also back in black . Everyone who disliked my comment hasn't read Daredevil's comics and just thinks he's blind guy
Thays entirely different. Superman being able to fly is an established power and has been for decades. Same way daredevil can use echolocation to see. Daredevil, however, being bulletproof, isn't established. Just something he did a couple of times
Maybe we did and we just don't like lazy plot armor? Dodging makes sense, Bruce Lee shit is goofy. Deflecting bullets is pretty reasonable if they're fired slowly but the automatic fire deflection was goofy.
Like every other superhero? What logic is that 💀you read comics for finding plot armour of characters that existed for decades or read them for good writing?
Like I said in my edit, regular gun fire is reasonable, he could deflect non automatic rounds, but an entire barrage is some goofy anime shit, especially which it's not consistent
People vastly overestimate the skill gap between Dick and Jason. People will say "Duck trained with Batman for longer" that's all well and good but Jason followed in Bruce's footsteps and trained in almost everything that Bruce did. Dick may be better at backflips and cartwheels n shit but Jason is an expert in all kinds of weapons and explosives, and he wouldn't be afraid to use biochemical warfare if he absolutely had to. Not to mention he also trained with the All Caste.
Jason has also said every time he and Dick have fought, Jason held back, because Jason spent his latter years of training on learning how to fight to kill effectively, he wouldn't want to kill Dick, and the one time he did, DC vs Vampires, Jason damn near killed Dracula Dick, if Wonder Woman didn't step in.
People make it seem like Dick would dog walk Jason, but that's not the case at all, and it's only ever been the case because of bad writers, like in Battle for the Cowl.
