Judges Analysis
For short range, I have to give Flash the advantage. While Batman is a highly skilled martial artist. Flash is hundreds of times faster which gives his punches that much more force and makes them that much harder to catch, block or counter. He can also accelerate to be so fast that a punch from him would shatter a normal person almost instantly. (So even if they blocked the strike, the impact's force would still kill them.) Flash's Mach Punch and Molecular Vibration
For the medium range, I have to call it a tie. Flash's tornado (You can see a demo of it in the kid Flash vs. Madam Rouge vid posted under the long range weapon/skill, it's later on in the video though.) might be able to kill Batman if Flash spun fast/long enough to lift Batman high into the sky then dropped him… (Though there is nothing preventing Batman from using his grappling hook to get away.) Batman on the other hand could potentially use the grappling hook for a gun. Since it may fire fast enough to pierce skin and cause damage with the hooked end. But against Flash, who can take speeds in excess of 700 MPH, a single fairly slow grappling hook may not even do damage. (Though it could be grabbed and used to spin Batman around at high speed…)
For long range, I have to call this one a tie. The batarang, while useful for disarming people is not used for killing. (It could probably kill if thrown properly… Provided Flash didn't dodge it or worse, catch it and throw it back at 15 times the speed.) Meanwhile, Flash's Tornado punch is highly useful for knocking people at a distance or disrupting them, but isn't so good for causing permanent or lethal damage. Kid Flash using Tornado Punch
For the special weapons, I have to give this to Flash. His molecular vibration allows him to shred armor and cut people into tiny bits by ripping their molecules apart (which you can see in the same video posted above where Flash fights Lex/Brainiac.) Batman's explosive batarangs are arguably the only weapon he has on him that could be lethal… But to someone like Flash with super endurance, it might not pack enough bang to stop him.
Results
Flash easily curbstomps Batman given heightened speed and the fact Batman's arsenal is of limited effectiveness against the speedster.
