Famously KOs Guy Gardner with a single punch

Has escaped Arkham Asylum on multiple occasions, including when it is overrun with supervillains.

Despite his lack of powers; Batman is a master of terror and fear. He has made every member of his Rouges Gallery be afraid of him at least once; even those who specialize in (Scarecrow) or are resistant to fear (Joker, Bane).

Scarecrow himself says that Batman is the only one who makes him feel fear, something not even a Black Lantern can accomplish, and only pursues Batman so he can feel fear again

This includes multiple lantern rings

Almost killed the Riddler had the Joker not intervened

Batman admits that allowing his villains to live probably is doing more harm than good.

Batman admits that his mental instability is so severe that he fears turning into a Punisher-esque serial killer if he breaks his 'no killing rule'.

Some guilt over Jason Todd's apparent death and return as the Red Hood.

Won't kill somebody if their mom is named Martha, even if he's been training to kill them and making special weapons for a long time.

Shark Repellent doesn't work or apply in 99.99% of the situations that he's in.

Highly paranoid and distrustful of others even if they are allies

Least trusted and trusting member of the Justice League; sometimes leaving the group entirely.

Feats

First African superhero in Marvel Comics history.

Stole Silver Surfer's board.

Effortlessly dodged gunfire.

Scaled to the top of a building while pulling a man by his hair in less than 10 seconds. Also doubles as a strength feat.

Beat Wolverine and Captain America.

Caught Spider-Man off guard twice.

Outmaneuvered the Human Torch.

Deflected energy daggers.

Throws a spear through solid stone while weakened and injured.

Lifts his throne chair (which is speculated to weighing a ton) that 3 men together couldn't lift.

Panther destroys a water mill by bracing himself against the ground underwater and flexing his muscles.

Literally almost knocked the Red Skull's jaw off.

Stopped the charge of a moving elephant. Elephants on average weigh about 8 tons.

Bulldogged a 1.5 ton rhino and then snaps its neck.

Ripped a man in half.

Fights, defeats, and kills a Super-Skrull that has Luke Cage's strength and durability, Iron Fist's chi manipulation, Wolverine's claws, Bullseye's accuracy, and the combined fighting skills of Captain America, Daredevil, Elektra, Shang-Chi, Moon Knight, and T'Challa himself. He holds his own until the Skrull's weakness was revealed in the form of tells, which are the significant changes in weight and body posture. This also shows Panther's exceptionally keen strategic and tactical genius.

Black Panther fights Killmonger without his vibranium suit for 13 hours with only 1 hour breaks in between each battle. This also doubles as a skill feat. Killmonger has studied Black Panther's fighting style, and has shown skill enough to stalemate Deadpool. In this fight Killmonger had been upgraded physically. Black Panther loses only because he gets distracted.

Was able to survive, endure, and absorb the magics from Wakanda's most powerful acolytes.

Fight

Gotham city

It is a dark night in the evening

The Joker laughs to himself as he chuckles.

Joker: Well well, the Bats out of town so it's time for me to rock this town!

Joker laughs maniacally as he whips out a flamethrower and he opens fire, blasting out a huge firestream.

The building lits up as it catches fire.

Joker chuckles as he continues burning the building.

However, all of a sudden, he heard a loud scream from behind, causing him to turn.

Annoyed, Joker questions.

Joker: Now who's ruinning my fun.

All of a sudden, something black swiftly flew across the alley, snatching out Joker's men.

Joker widens his eyes in shock as he watches a black figure throwing an obese clpwn henchman over his shoulder before throwing a kick at a thug, knocking him back.

A man laughs as he swung his chainsaw at the figure but to his horror, the chainsaw broke upon making contact with the black figure.

Man: Oh shit.

The man cursed as the figure slashes his arm across.

Joker stares in shock as the man screams out in pain before collapsing onto the ground.

Joker looks at the man.

A huge claw mark could be seen on the man's chest.

As the figure approaches the Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker said.

Joker: You're not the bat. Who are you?

The figure answers.

???: I am the Black Panther.

Black Panther swung his claws across the Joker's neck and the Joker's screams echoes across the streets as blood splashes onto the ground.

Black Panther stares at The Joker's corpse and he said.

Black Panther: You're never hurting anyone else again.

Raindrops splashes onto the ground as it started to rain.

As Black Panther allows the water to slide down his suit, all of a sudden, Black Panther senses a presence, causing him to look up.

Black Panther unsheathes his Anti-Metal Claws and he questions.

Black Panther: Who are you?

Lightning flashes across the sky and Black Panther saw a tall black cladded figure resembling a humanoid bat staring down at him.

The figure answers.

???: Your greatest fear.

The bat suddenly disappears from the roof, causing Black Panther to look around.

After what seems like an etermity, a smoke bomb goes off.

BOOM!!

Black Panther turns and he saw the bat approaching him, saying.

???: You're coming with me.

Black Panther stares at him and he questions.

Black Panther: What exactly are you?"

The figure answers.

???: I'm Batman.

Black Panther retorts.

Black Panther: I don't care.

Black Panther sprints forward, ready to attack.

Batman got into a fighting stance just as Black Panther swung his claws.

Batman parries Black Panther's attack before throwing a hook.

Black Panther dodges and he throws a punch.

Both Batman and Black Panther began trading blows in the night, the two seemingly evenly matched.

As Batman throws a kick, Black Panther ducks underneath and he swung up his claws, slashing Batman's chest upwards.

Black Panther slashes Batman several times before dropping down, landing onto the floor with both hands before throwing a kick, knocking Batman back.

As Batman staggers back, Black Panther sprints forward.

KABOOM!!!!

Batman stood up and he narrows his eyes as he saw a familiar cat figure standing up.

Black Panther dusts himself off and he questions.

Black Panther: Do you think cheap tricks will work on me?

Batman: Trust me. They are more than cheap tricks.

Batman jumps up just as Black Panther pounces forward.

Black Panther watches as Batman fires his grappling hook before launching himself upwards.

Black Panther pounces onto a wall and he began scaling up the building like a prowling wildcat.

Black Panther swung himself up and he lands on the roof in a crouched position where Batman is waiting for him.

Black Panther declares.

Black Panther: You are no match for the King of Wakanta.

Batman: I'll be the judge of that.

Black Panther steps forward cautiously, ready to attack.

However, Black Panther felt a platform lowering upon making contact with it, causing him to widen his eyes.

As if on cue, several machine gun turrets bursts out of the generators and they opened fire.

Black Panther grunts as he shields himself with his arms, bullets bouncing off his impenetrable armour.

Black Panther narrows his eyes and his suit opens up, ejecting several small bombs within.

Black Panther grabs them with his palms and he throws our the bombs.

The bombs latches onto the bombs and the alarm on it blares red before they went off, causing the turrets to explode.

KABOOM!!!!

Black Panther stood up and he remarks.

Black Panther: How ignorant.

However, all of a sudden, Batman suddenly jumps out of the smoke and he throws a punch, striking Black Panther in the face.

Batman punches Black Panther several times before throwing a kick.

However, Black Panther suddenly grabs onto Batman's leg before swinging his leg across, tripping Batman.

As Batman falls down, Black Panther dashes forward.

As Batman falls, he grabs onto his cape and he spreads it open, creating a glider out of his cape.

Batman swoops down before landing on top of the Batmobile.

Batman quickly opens up the window and he jumps in before activating the Batmobile.

Black Panther lands in front of the vehicle and the Wakanta King shouts.

Black Panther: Come out of your vehicle and face me like a man!

Batman didn't answer, instead he presses several buttons in the Batmobile, activating it's weapon systems.

The Batmobile opens up, activating several turrets.

The weapons aims at Black Panther before Batman activates them.

The Batmobile immediately unleashes a hail of bullets and missiles onto Black Panther, forcing Black Panther to retreat.

Black Panther sprints and jumps through the alley, dodging every missile and bullet.

One of the missiles flies down, causing Black Panther to widen his eyes in shock.

The missile struck Black Panther in the chest, causing it to explode.

KABOOM!!!!

Black Panther screams out in pain as he was sent flying back.

Black Panther crashes backfirst into the wall before collapsing onto the ground.

As the Batmobile continues to open fire at him, Black Panther raises his head upwards and his suit opens up, dropping out several bombs.

Black Panther wraps his fingers around them before racing back into the battlefield.

As hails of bullets rains down onto him, Black Panther sprints across, the bullets bouncing off his Vibranium Suit.

Black Panther launches himself off the ground, spinning in the air three times before throwing out the bombs.

The bombs lands perfectly inside the turrets of the Batmobile before they exploded, blowing back the Batmobile.

KABOOM!!!!

Batman grunts as he slams back onto the car seat, the Batmobile's systems blaring red.

Black Panther has severely damaged the Batmobile.

Batman pushes open the Batmobile window shield and he jumps out.

Both Batman and Black Panther faces each other, neither saying a word.

Batman said.

Batman: You're going down.

Black Panther retorts.

What seems like a real life Black Panther growls at him before swinging it's claws across his neck.

Blood spills as Black Panther lands behind Batman's headless body.

Batman's decapitated head falls onto the ground and Black Panther declares.

Black Panther: Now you face the true King of Wakanta!

All of a sudden, there was a suddenly clapping sound, causing Black Panther to turn around.

Deadpool walks up to him and he compliments.

Deadpool: Well done Black Panther. You finally won against your opponent.

Confused, Black Panther questions.

Black Panther: What do you mean?

Deadpool explains.

Deadpool: Oh you know, you fought that bat twice previously and you lost and finally you beat him. Damn, how come you get to fight three times and I don't!

Black Panther stares at him blankly and he said.

Black Panther: I do not get you.

Deadpool said casually.

Deadpool: It's fine. Oh and reviews of your movie came out and I think we should shut down Rotten Tomatoes.

Black Panther raises an eyebrow and he questions.

Black Panther: What?

Deadpool said.

Deadpool: Never mind. I'm outta here.

Deadpool then teleports away, leaving Black Panther speechless.

Black Panther: Hm. Maybe I should pay Rotten Tomatoes a visit.
