Simply put, hes a genius in a cape.
However, Batman has one weakness, and that lies in his one rule.He never kills.
That code is his greatest strength and biggest weakness.John Wick doesnt have that restraint.
If this is a fight with rules, Batman wins.
The other versions might lose to good, old Johnny easily.
There’s still one upside to Batman’s rule, as he would never kill anyone John Wick loves.

Therefore, John Wick might never have to hunt The Bat.
8Shang-Chi
Created by Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin
Shang-ChiisMarvels undisputed master of martial arts.
Trained from childhood by his father, Shang-Chi was raised to become the worlds deadliest hand-to-hand combatant.
Over time, he rejected his fathers criminal empire and became a hero in his own right.
With his powers, Shang-Chi can fight gods, aliens, and fellow superheroes.
His skillset was further elevated withthe powers of the Ten Rings, giving him enhanced strength.

Shang-Chi fights with discipline and restraint; John Wick fights to end you as efficiently as possible.
Supernatural powers just would not make John Wick tap out that easily.
He is armed witha specialized wingsuit that grants him flight and advanced maneuverability.
Aided by Redwing, his loyal drone companion, Sam fights with military-grade precision and aerial acrobatics.
Flying high doesn’t guarantee staying alive when youre up against John Wick.
Several deadly shots aimed at his wing and drone would ensure The Falcon’s defeat.

He isknown for his powerful optic blasts, which require ruby-quartz lenses to control.
In contrast with the unpredictable Wolverine, Cyclops is precise and disciplined.
But even someone as focused and tactical as Cyclops would have his hands full against John Wick.
Sure, Scotts optic blasts are incredibly destructive, but Wicks game isnt just about brute force.
The second Cyclops hesitates or gets distracted, Wick would disarm or disable him with ruthless precision.
Wick would also be looking at his blind spot to make his final move.

Without the help of theX-Mento cover him, Cyclops would definitely fall.
He was abducted from Earth as a child and raised by Ravagers, growing into a space outlaw.
Hes survived intergalactic wars, with the accompaniment ofa great soundtrack.
Star-Lord may have sharp instincts, buthe lacks the discipline and efficiency that Wick has.
Even in a one-on-one gunfight, Quills flashy, erratic style is no match for Wicks surgical precision.
While Scott could shrink out of sight, John Wicks adaptability and hyper-awareness would kick in fast.

And if he grows big?
Hes often self-absorbed and image-conscious, but his tech advantage can help the Justice League defeat their enemies.
Booster Gold has appeared inseveralJustice League Unlimitedepisodes, but will finally get his spotlight ina new DCU serieson Max.
Boosters flashy moves and dependence on tech could contribute to his defeat against John Wick.
And when that foe is the Baba Yaga, you would want to have your full attention.
Booster might have shields and blasts, buthe tends to underestimate grounded threats.

And lets face it, Boosters not the most tactically disciplined hero out there.
Hes agile, fast, andthe best acrobatic martial artist in the DC Universe.
Hes deeply trained in multiple combat styles and often underestimated due to his youthful charm.
With a moral code instilled in him,Nightwing is still someone who pulls punches.
But up against John Wick?
The archer is stripped of his advantage.

He turns every space into a battlefield, from tight rooms, stairwells, to nightclubs.
