You could do it like that I guess, just like you could stand there and mash counter for most of the regular combat scenarios in all 3 games. But why would you do that when the option for experimentation and "being" batman is there? I went into that fight with deathstroke testing him and letting him test me, kinda like if they were fighting in a movie with their equal skillsets.
Same day:
As long as the combat remains a joke in those games where you can just counter your way out of every battle and there is no incentive to do anything else then there will be no visible reason to have gear and weapon upgrades.
