Who Would Win . . .

[Karma_Police]

Superman obviously. You can't give Batman kryptonite to start the fight. the fight starts on level playing ground. now tell me how Spiderman and Batman have time to get kryptonite before Superman kicks the shit out of them. It's not happening. Superman owns all. the guy shoots shit from his eyes. No way Batman gets close enough to hit him with kryptonite. You people suck for thinking otherwise. 

I kid, I kid. I love you all.

Superman easy

Batman is human so Superman could punch right through his fucking cHest.

I love that. D always brings some reality to a supernatural discussion  Fantastic.

I guess then the question D is would superman be able to punch through Tito's Fucking Chest

Well, from an avowed comic geek:

Batman would win.

Now, I've read the naysayers points and...well....you're missing some stuff.

First off, Batman already has kryptonite.  Superman gave it to him.  Supes, during one of his more idiotic moments, gave Bats a kryptonite right "just in case" Supes ever went apeshit out of control and was destroying the world, or something.  So Bats already has the means to take down the big blue boyscout.

In addition to that....Supes is just that: A boyscout.  Bat will do whatever it takes to win.  He's brilliant, both as a detective and as a strategist.  Supes, while very powerful, has proven he's not always the brightest bulb in the chandelier and his "goody two shoes" take on things tends to be his downfall.

Someone said the fight would have to be "on a level playing field". I assume you all think it's going to be some kind of fair fight.   Ain't gonna happen.  The fight is going to take place when and where Bats sees fit, even if "someone else" tries to set up some arbitrary parameters.  Bats would figure out the parameters, and find some way to work the situation to his advantage, and would make sure he's holding as many, if not all, the cards on his side of the table.

Now, the Bats/Spidey fight would be more interesting.  Peter can match Bruce brain cell for brain cell.  He's also got a wicked dark side.  I think, in the end, it would come down to Bruce being able to figure out who Peter REALLY is, figuring out what caused Peter's mutation, and working from there.  In the end, Spidey gets caught monologuing some sarcastic diatribe and Bats uses that to his advantage and knocks Peter on his ass.

Wow, that's quite astute, Pilferk! An interesting theory... now answer this... put Batman outta the picture for the moment, what about Superman vs Spiderman? If Spidey is brainier than Mr. I Like To Wear My Underpants On The Outside, then what would be his strategy for defeating him?

Make a cocoon of him?

First off, Batman already has kryptonite.? Superman gave it to him.? Supes, during one of his more idiotic moments, gave Bats a kryptonite right "just in case" Supes ever went apeshit out of control and was destroying the world, or something.? So Bats already has the means to take down the big blue boyscout.

I think you're underestimating Superman's gamesmanship.  Remember how he took down General Zod & Co. in Superman II?  As far as the kryptonite goes, he can reverse the earth's rotation, go back in time and decide not to give it to Batman.

Therein lies the problem.  I tend to stick to "comic cannon", not "movie canon".  The stuff Supes did in the movies wasn't exactly an accurate portrayal (he couldn't reverse the earth's time flow in the comics) of his comic book persona.   And through just about every interaction Supes and Bats have had in the comics....Bats seems to come out ahead.

Besides, if you take Superman II as canon, all Bats would have to do is recreate the "power sucking" machine and strip Supes of his powers.....

Hell, if you take the movies as canon, we can just get Richard Pryor to kill Superman, since that's pretty much what he did to the movie franchise.
