First I'd just like to say I like how you ignored my entire argument and dismissed all the facts I stated, now onto the argument.

Dude, in a straight up fight batman would kick aquamans ass any day of the week.
Any evidence for that claim?

He can take a hit from superman for crying out loud.
Source please?

Plus he has contingencies for every superhuman known.
I could make a plan on how to kick a heavy weight boxers arse, doesn't mean it'll work. A plan won't help him from someone physically better than him in every way impaling his bat-ass with a trident. Bad writing and the thickest plot armour ever might help though.

He'd take out aquaman easily. Because lets be honest, a straight up fight involving batman, he can still use gadgets.
Again, he's physically worse than Aquaman in everyway in a straight up fist fight Bats is going to be murdered. Aquaman can also shrug off AK-47 bullets to the face, I don't thing a piece of scrap metal shaped like a bat is going to do much to him.

And I'm still fairly sure even without gadgets batman could kick the living crap out of aquaman. Because he's the godamned batman.
Hes the godamned Aquaman, see it works both ways. Also in a straight up fight, no advantages, except physical ones Bats was broken by Bane.
1) Aquaman has limited skills in fighting, especially on land. His stamina is dramtically reduced when he's away from water, batman could effectively just keep him running around and let him tire himself out.
2) I think it was hush, I cannot find it anywhere though, sorry.
3) Physically batman is easily on Aquamans level in the strength department. Despite not being a meta, batman is incredibly strong and agile, which is something he has up on aquaman. Again, away from water or moisture, aquaman is at a real disadvantadge. And batmans ability to plan gives him a massive edge. If aquaman runs in with his trident, I would imagine batman has a relatively easy plan of disarming him and taking him down fast and hard. He took out the entire justice league by playing off their weaknesses or character faults.
4) I'm not sure if you knew, but batman doesn't just use batarangs. I can think of two regularly carried gadgets that would fuck up aquaman. Ice pellets and a taser. Or anti shark spray.(That was a joke)
5) You can't really use the bane example, because if you'd actually read Knightfall, you'd know the part where bane forces batman to go about three weeks without sleep, constantly fighting every one of his previous archnemesises. Also...It doesn't...The goddamned aquaman has never and will never be a thing. The best aquaman will get is "The outrageous Aquaman". Don't ever do that. It's just silly.
I'm not knocking aquaman as a superhero. He is easily above superman and martian manhunter. But batman is just better in so many ways. Hell, at a push I'd say Red Robin on his own, fuck the new teen titans, I mean REALLY, could take down aquaman. Personally as a trait, intelligence is the best super power you can have, especially if it's coupled with knowledge of martial arts. It doesn't matter how powerful you are, if someone weaker but smarter can come up with a plan, you'd be screwed. Look at David and Goliath. Place David as Someone like Tim Drake and Goliath as someone like Aquaman. Raw Power means nothing when it's matched against brains and skill.
