My bets are on Grayson. Why? Simple. You see, the challenge vaguely states that Bruce & Dick duke it out within an empty theater. Since it never states which empty theater, I get to choose, which means that they are to do battle within Monarch Theater, the second to last place Bruce saw his parents alive. With Dick being able to dish some extra mental anguish on Bruce, he gets the edge.

I feel with these specific settings. Dick would take it. He is actually a master of more martial arts than Bruce. Actually I dont know about new 52 or Rebirth Dick. But Modern era was.
I think fighting there makes him angrier and tougher. It is similar to how in The Dark Knight Returns fighting at Crime Alley gave Bats the willpower of Green Lantern. Bats is most vulnerable at dumps and spaceships than place with personal connections.
I really wasn’t buying the actor picked for Bruce until I saw how moved and fought in this scene. Even though he was in a dress shirt and pants, I could see him as Batman based on his stance alone. I would give it to Bruce.
Bruce has contingencies for everyone. He trained Dick which means he knows his weaknesses. Dick would start off on some moral “you can do the right thing” and Bruce would press the button activating the bomb he implanted in Dick’s head three years ago (or, since it doesn’t say they have bombs, a good sold stab in the heart with a batarang). Deep down Dick is a good person but deep down Bruce is not. It the same as Batman vs Superman but without superpowers or kryptonite.
@BestBeastBoy, remember what Bruce said to Dick in Batman Forever? He said,“I can stop you.” And Dick knew he could so he gave up arguing with him. I think Bruce has alot more training then Dick did.
Dick as Robin doesn’t possess the experience. Dick as Nightwing though… DC would have Bruce win just cuz he’s Batman even though Nightwing is better than him. Read this for proof: Gotham Anatomy: The 5 Weirdest Things About Nightwing's Body
