Dark Knight Returns Batman

How these ratings work

This character's combat ratings are fully mapped. Every rating comes from documented feats — what they have actually been shown to do, not where fans rank them. The roster as a whole is still being worked through, so matchups can shift as opponents are researched.

If a verdict looks wrong, flag it. That is how most corrections start.

This character's ratings are fully mapped, but parts of this page are still being built — no verified canon encounters logged for this form yet, no written profile.

Rating is a score, not a position — it rises by beating strong opponents and barely moves for beating weak ones.

Old but ruthless — beat Superman with prep time

Rated by running this character against every other in the field and scoring who they beat, not by votes.
Ratings move whenever a character's data is corrected — if a verdict here looks wrong, flag it from the fight itself.
