But I still think if they randomly met in an alley. Batman chasing a baddy and stumbles upon the turtles, and the turtles sees a dark clad guy with a cape. (Mandatory crossover fight ensues) I think the turtles would have the upper hand if they had blitzed him.

Batman would probably win in the end because... He's Batman, he have beaten up guys like Superman and Spawn, barely breaking a sweat, cause "I am Vengeance, I am the night. I. AM. BATMAN!"

Oye...that hurts.

I can't believe you just countered my argument using that OT episode!

Alright yeah, that does hurt!

It's four against one, and they're all somewhat equally trained in fighting skills. So, Batman makes a tactical retreat, and the Turtles "win" the first encounter.

But, it's reasonable to assume that Batman would do something very Batman-esque before escaping, i.e. planting a Bat-tracking-device on one of the Turtles shells, or acquiring a blood/DNA sample from one of them during battle. He could then either track them back to their lair, and gain great tactical advantage from knowing where they live; or he could use a sample of their blood to develop a retro-mutagen that could turn them back to ordinary turtles.

At any rate, I'd say it's believable that the Turtles could "win" in a first-fight encounter, but Batman would do all the things that Batman does to make sure that he'd ultimately win the war. That's how Batman would take down Superman; he DEFINITELY wouldn't beat Supes in a first-fight encounter, but he'd make a tactical retreat, gain intel, formulate a plan, then come back completely prepared to win.

I was thinking the same thing.
