I already made the 1 on 1 fight scene tournament, in this category we compare fight scenes where it's one main character (or a group of main characters) cutting down generic, nameless opponents. In other words, fodder. As before, pick which you like better and explain why.
Round 1:
Batman warehouse fight (BvS)
vs.
Captain America elevator fight (CA:TWS)

The elevator scene. And here's why: because it's a much more dynamic action scene. It wins on that basis alone; it feels more high stakes and seems to achieve more in less time than does the BvS scene. For me it wins on those grounds alone.
As a sub-point, I would add that the elevator scene is just a more original concept for a scene than the warehouse scene. Shit, there's similar fight scenes in that same movie, BvS! Although I may be thinking of that weird dream sequence. Candidly, I haven't seen the flick since 2015 or whenever.
So, TWS. Not by a mile, but somewhat comfortably. If it were a football game, the score would be like 27-17, with ten of the BvS points coming in garbage time.

Winter Soldier, even if I really enjoyed the warehouse fight and it is the best scene in the movie.

Cap FTW.
That was iconic, And one of the first times that showed how very Badass Cap was, In a concise, small setting.
It was a step up from The war hero of old into A full-force human weapon.
I think the pirate ship opening Did the same for him, But was more stretched out, Showing how he’d evolved From what we’d seen before.

Gotta be the warehouse fight. Cant believe its getting beat 5-1. Though I personally voted for the Elevator scene, I'm actually surprised that the Warehouse fight isn't getting more votes.

Gotta be the warehouse fight. Cant believe its getting beat 5-1. It's definitely the best Batman fighting we've seen in a Batman film, but, the fighting is very much Arkham-inspired, so you can say we've seen it before. Plus the warehouse setting is very cliche and overdone for action scenes. There aren't very many elevator/super contained fight scenes like in Winter Soldier, and coming off from The First Avenger, and The Avengers, we never really seem this kind of fighting from Captain America and it's just a prelude to his fight with Winter Soldier later in the film.

Elevator fight, and it isn’t too close. It’s just more memorable and simple in the best way.

I'll go with the Batman vs Superman fight too. It was probably the closest we've ever seen to a proper on screen Batman fight.

Have you played the Batman Arkham games? He broke bones and stomped on people's faces there to knock them out. You can't blame Batman for that. It was you/me pressing those buttons. I like to think Batman is better than that.

And winner by a landslide is Captain America's Elevator scene which will move to the next batch of rounds. Poll is now locked but comments are still open.
