Bruce pulls a vanishing act, sneaks up and ends Deadshot's career.  |

This could be a major challenge for Bruce. Deadshot has plenty of room to operate, and, according to OAFA rules, the cars in the pic are stationary. So, he shouldn't have any trouble whatsoever finding his range and getting off first.
However, this is the key question for me: has Bruce ever dodged a projectile from Deadshot?

Yes,once post crisis and multiple times in the Silver age. |

Case closed methinks. Yes that was the one occasion i was referring to,and i believe Batman himself said something about a lucky hit or Deadshot holding back IIRC. |

 Case reopened, son. Now go read Ultimates like a good boy and let the grown ups do the talking. |

Yes,once post crisis and multiple times in the Silver age. ALL of which are meaningless for this thread. Floyd has always pulled his shots against Batman. To Floyd Bat's is a representation of his older brother who he killed. The sibling that he idolized and wants to die to be punished for (ideally be being beaten at the one thing he was better than his brother at - combat) s1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff368/beatboks01/deadshot/?action=view¤t=Batmantellingdeadshothepullshisshots.jpgOP stated BOTH are DETERMINED for the win. This is something completely new, never seen between the two before. I'd say Bruce still takes a "slim" majority but not by much |

I think the question that has to be asked is, has Bruce ever been fired upon and dodged the projectiles of a marksmen that is of the same caliber as Deadshot?

Seriously? I actually thought you were joking. I haven't read the issue in years. I just remembered the scan of Bats punching Deadshot, not the context with it. So I grabbed the scan and didn't bother to double check. |

Damn too slow as usual. I see Morph beat me to the scan.
There are several more where Batman references Deadshot's penchant for holding back.
One (and I' damned if I can find the issue) he walks into Belle Reve, comes up on Floyd (who has the bead on him) simply says "going to pull your shots like always" and walks straight fast Floyd as if he's not even a threat (while Floyd drops his wrist pistol IIRC)

I would like to ask something. I have seen scans and silver and crom stating some instances where Bruce has reacted to actual bullets( and not just the aim of the shooter ), so even if we assume that Deadhsot would not pull his shot, is there any reason to assume that Batman won't be able to react to his projectiles? Not debating, just asking, since everyone knows i'm not knowledgeable on DC at all....  |

Does the marksmanship really matters? If he can actually see the projectile that is coming, even if it is perfectly aimed, then i don't see what prevents Batman from dodging it. It's not like marksmanship make the projectile move master than what Bruce can react to. |

It's not like marksmanship make the projectile move master than what Bruce can react to. I agree, but there is still a difference between a bank robber and Deathstroke firing upon Bruce. It has been implied in the past many times that the reason Floyd has never tagged Bruce regularly is because of him holding back. Does that mean Floyd could tag Bruce if he went all out? Are there any marksmen besides common criminals that Bruce have danced around? |
