Now against people with guns, which the Terminator I'm assuming will have since he's following his MO, Bruce is going to keep a ranged game of his own probably either starting off with the knock out ninja star batarangs or by hooking the Terminator and trying to hoist him up the side of a buildling.
Now both of those are going to have the same outcome, Bruce finding out pretty quickly that the guy he's trying to stop isn't normal. Either he won't get knocked out or the obvious weight of a metal endoskeleton I figure has to tip him off, right?
So Bruce is going to do any and everything he can to stay away from this guy while injuring him, so there's more batarangs and eventually explosives going to be deployed which knocks off enough meat to show the metal underneath at which time Bruce figures thou shalt not kill does not apply to machines and then it's one Tumbler shot away from a decent bit of damage to the Terminator.
Even if Bruce pulls the PIS card out and tries to go melee with the machine he's not in THAT much danger I figure. Let's think about how the Terminator treats his fights and such.
1. Fist into the punk AFTER asking him for his clothes. So even his most lethal showing has him not going for the kill right off the bat.
2. The boyfriend he tossed around shows he's not super deadly most of the time either, despite his rep.
3. 4. ?. I forget how many Sarah Conners the Terminator killed but I remember him slowly stalking them all with that slow methodical, some would call it almost robotic, gait. Against a hit and run fighter like Bruce is going to try to be against a walking tank that kinda stalking isn't going to help much.
Didn't someone say that it took two explosions to hurt the Terminator? The first explosion was enough to tear all his muscles off and cause him to adapt a very slow walk due to the fact that his leg/foot/tibia wasn't in working order anymore.
But I do have one question. Am I making up the part where some of Bruce's batarangs could cause explosions? Didn't he use one to split the train car he and Ras Al Dente where riding in so he could glide to safety?
