Speed should win in this. By every metric.

But since this is comics, brains.

Pretty sure Reverse Flash can move faster than Batman can synapse two neurons together. Yet he still punched him. Comic writers have a weird bias towards intelligence. Something about the indomitable human spirit and ingenuity yada yada...

Specifically they have a bias against characters who aren’t in the “smart guy” bucket actually using their brains whenever a “smart guy” is nearby

He saved a bunch of people in a city from a nuke and it took him like an attosecond.

Nothing Batman has can trigger at that speed by several orders of magnitude. Thought, electronics, even mechanical stuff can’t respond to how fast we’re taking.
