DC Confirms The One Fighter Who Doesn't Need Powers to Beat Batman
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Batman: Killing Time #3
In the latest issue of Tom King's Batman: Killing Time, the Dark Knight is beaten by one of DC's most formidable, yet non-powered, fighters. Known only as The Help, this new character played a role in Batman's past during one of the first times Batman's more classic rogues teamed up for a major heist. While Batman is highly trained in multiple forms of combat, he's clearly met more than his match in this new issue.

While the exact contents were kept a mystery to readers, Batman became incredibly concerned once he learned what vault they hit, knowing exactly what they took. Furthermore, the item in question was apparently valuable and/or powerful enough to convince Riddler and Catwoman to betray Penguin (Killer Croc was already imprisoned as the fall guy who distracted Batman from the real crime).

However, it quickly becomes apparent that Batman is way out of The Help's league as The Help has fought, trained, and/or defeated many of those who trained Bruce Wayne himself in his quest to become a vigilante.
