OOooooo Man, I love both these characters. Let's put 'em to war shall we?

General Skills/Statistics Assessment:

Jerrick: Not particularly fast, but strong, and with a very good defensive base. A man designed to take hits while dishing out a few of his own.

Ciaran: Speedy and agile. Average strength compared to others, but very good stealth combat. A master of deception and mind games. I like this guy already.

Semblance Assessment:

Jerrick: A freaking shield man. Nuff said.

Ciaran: A half-mile range teleport with a smoke-screen function. Can only be used once every thirty minutes. Good for slick getaways.

Fighting Style Assessment:

Jerrick: A front-line attacker with a strong defensive component and excellent ranged abilities. He can fight from all three range categories; Close, Mid, and Long.

Ciaran: Deceptive and cunning with an emphasis on stealth attacks and misdirection. Great for the any fighting at night, or against large groups.

Weapon Assessment:

Jerrick: Ok, let's face it, Jerrick has options. A sword for close-range, a shotgun for close-mid range, and a rifle for mid-long range. He's got all the bases covered. Also, his weapons use bullets, while not silent, they definitely travel faster than a crossbow bolt.

Ciaran: A sword with a crossbow, silent, but deadly. A large array of bolts gives him options, but he lacks a mid-range component, and again, bullets travel faster than crossbows, and with more accuracy.

Final Words:

Jerrick: He's unorthodox, he's got all the 3 ranges covered, and he's got great endurance and defense. Speed is not on his side but if he can essentially block or shrug off every swing Ciaran takes and top his ranged game, then Jerrick has this.

Ciaran: He's a clever bastard, but unfortunately he's beat at a range. His semblance is a great escape tool for a bad situation, but it also has a severe use limit, which could very well cripple our RWBY-fied Batman. He also lacks defense compared to Jerrick.

At the end of it all, as much as it pains me, Jerrick takes it.
