Avengers Endgameleft the impression that the long - expect possibility of aBlack Widowmovie would just no longer be possible . However , Disney has a way of make indisputable these thing happen ; now , with the outlet of the first laggard forBlack Widow , starringScarlett Johansson , which is schedule for a May 2020 release , the graphic symbol will before long be subjected to a flock more screen time .

With this greater focus on someone who has always been more of a side role than other MCU lead ( Tony Stark , Cap , andThor ) ,   you might be enquire how fierce Black Widow actually is . To find out , have ’s look beyond the MCU : here are 5 DC characters she could easy defeat , and 5 she would definitely lose to .

Lose: Batman

While there is a very wide multifariousness of crack - powered DC Italian sandwich and villains who would defeat Black Widow in a fight , Batman begs mentioning because he , like Widow , has no powers . But even though he is technically an average human , Widow really would n’t resist a opportunity . Batman has shown , legion times , his supreme intelligence , strength , and strategy .

He has beaten Superman in countless engagement , both in the comics and on - blind ( Batman V Superman ) , and has also demonstrated , inJustice League : Doom , that he has enfeeble eventuality programme jell in place for every penis of the Justice League . Black Widow ’s own ability are no match for the cunning and gossamer intellect of Bruce Wayne .

Win: Catwoman

While Catwoman is an expert mitt - to - hand combatant , and at times , has given even Batman a run for his money , her accomplishments are minimal and peanut and more than easily matched by Black Widow . As an ex - Russian federal agent - work S.H.I.E.L.D. operative , Natasha Romanoff has master several forms of fight , include Karate , Judo , and Kung Fu .

She is also a weapons expert and a skilled bravo and has leaven that she can compete with some of the most powerful villain , holding her own against Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive . It ’s fair to say that Catwoman would not have endure a minute against any ofThanos ' lieutenants - that is , if she pick out not to lean away .

Lose: Aquaman

Arthur Curry , King of Atlanta , has many powers , admit superhuman strength and strength , as well as the power to control and manipulate water . He can jump nearly 4 stories , throw away 30 - net ton tanks , and hold his own in a fistfight with Wonder Woman , a literal goddess .

Obviously , if he is in or near water , he is even more powerful , but even in the middle of a desert , there would be little contest between him and Black Widow . Her speed and intelligence might give her a few instant , but she would n’t be able-bodied to parry him forever , and , because of his superhuman strength , endurance , and durability , there is very picayune she could do to actually injure him .

Win: Black Canary

The Black Canary , notable in the CW ’s Arrowverse , has little to offer besides her transonic shrieking . She is unattackable , but humanly strong , and is an expert and experienced battler , two thing that would certainly meet their catch in a fight against Black Widow .

While her transonic scream is potentially debilitating , sure episodes have demonstrate way to silence it - Black Widow ’s intelligence and cunning would countenance her to enter out a way to block up off the shriek - without the scream , Canary is just another human vigilante . At that level , Canary does n’t stand a chance against the former KGB operative .

Lose: The Flash

Barry Allen ’s abilities are comparatively straightforward - he can black market really quick , at 2,532 miles per hour . Between the Black Widow , a skilled , yet human , combatant , this battle would last   less than ten second .

Barry Allen has proven that non - mutate humans are of little moment to him . Perhaps when he first got his powers , Widow might have bear a prospect - but now , with experience under his knock , there is nothing she could do to slow him down .

Win: Deathstroke

Slade Wilson is an expert soldier . He is strong , brutal , and has proven that he can agree his own against the Teen Titans . In this , he and Black Widow are exceptionally similar - both have fundamentally been on both sides of conflict , with the Black Widow starting as a villain and reverse into a hero , and with Deathstroke spend much of his life battling the Titans , yet still showcasing , on several occasions , that he might be a good guy after all .

In fact , this fight could swing either room - both are gifted and ferocious . However , once again , Black Widow fight Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive ; she is responsible for the dying of Proxima and the near - end of Corvus . This feat proves her strength against far more powerful foes , giving her the winnings against Slade .

Lose: Superman

This is not entirely surprising , given that the Flash could easily defeat Widow . Superman , beyond having superspeed , has superhuman strength , durability , endurance , vision , and so on . He is the real image of an over - power character .

His one weakness , however , is quite the exposure , and one that Widow would for certain overwork if she had time to prepare . But , because Kryptonite is uncommon , and it is improbable that Widow carries a shard of the green crystal on her utility program knock , this fight would be a deafening and instantaneous defeat for Black Widow .

Win: Green Arrow

The emerald archer , billionaire , and playboy , Oliver Queenhas prove himself to be an incredible warrior . He , at times , has led the League of Assassins , stamp out Ra ’s al Gul , and carry his own against a variety of scourge , both human and mythical . However , though he is fiercely intelligent and one of the greatest combatants in the DCU , Oliver Queen is still human and has been defeated many time before , sometimes by something as uncomplicated as a gunshot .

An early episode ofArrowresulted in Oliver ’s close - demise after he was shot by his female parent . Widow ’s skill as a KGB broker , her weapons intelligence , and her strength and knowledge of the different mode of fighting , would give her a powerful edge . It might be a close fight , depending on extraneous lot , but Widow would in all probability win .

Lose: Wonder Woman

Princess Diana , girl of Zeus , is the greatest   of the Amazons and is highly proficient with all weaponry . She also possess superhuman strength , speed , agility , reflexes , as well as the power of flight .

And , in the motion-picture show , she kill Ares , the Greek god of warfare , by transmit lightning . There would be no truthful competition between the Black Widow and Wonder Woman .

Win: Joker

The unhinged lunatic might have his disorderly strokes of brilliance , but he would place upright no chance against the Black Widow . His volatility might often result in triumph , but , as a man with human weaknesses , would surely return to an attack from Black Widow . Yes , Joker has prove himself , on occasion , adequate to of defeat theCaped Crusader , as well as a host of other heroes .

Yet , Widow has examine herself in the same common sense , competing with and defeating characters with far greater abilities than her own . It would be a fascinating struggle , as Joker would likely attempt some contour of psychological manipulation , which would be more ( or less ) potent , because of the Widow ’s disruptive past . However , she is unassailable , resourceful , and extremely experient ; Mr. J would meet his match with the Black Widow .
