A new video posted by YouTuber Godzillarex, whose channel includes a whole series breaking down fight scenes from different superhero movies, examines exactly that question.
Godzillarex’s latest fight scene breakdown focuses on the warehouse fight scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition. By looking at every martial arts maneuver used by Batman in the fight Godzillarex is able to determine just how many fighting styles Batman โ at least Ben Affleck’s Batman of the DC Extended Universe โ has mastered, at a minimum.
The final tally finds that Batman has studied no less than 10 fighting styles. The list of styles includes: the strong punches of boxing, the open hand strikes of karate, the knee and elbow strikes of Muay Thai, the kicks of tae kwon do and savate, the brutal disarms and headbutts of krav maga, the stealth and throwing weapon skills of ninjutsu, the defensive skills of kung fu, and the throws of judo and aikido.
That sounds like a list of ten very good reasons not to get into a fight with Batman, though that should have probably been obvious already.
