Superman vs. Batman

[Thyrd]

My brother and I have been having this arguement for over a week. Who would win in a fight? Batman or Superman.

My brother insists that superman would win because of his super strength, speed, heat ray eyes, and cold breath.

I on the other hand think Batman would win. Due to his being a very sneaky fuck who would engage only on his own terms, and his gadgets would help a bit too. With the resources of bruce waynes empire, odds are he could get his hands on some green Kyrptonite.

Who do you think would win?

[FireHart]

I say Batman. He would get some Kryptonite and make a bat-krypto-gun that fires Depleted Kryptonite Shells and beat the crap out of Superman :)

[WiTT]

it is a question that has plagued man kind for a long long time but we all know spiderman would kick both thier arses.

In what fucked up world could spiderman beat either batman or superman. Batman would just pull out some bug spray or something.

Sorry to make new posts but I just found this in Nuklearpower (http://www.nuklearpower.com/redmage.php)

5: Batman VS Superman... IN A SKATEBOARDING COMPETITION!

8)And Finally, the question most fanboys really wanna know...what's your take on the classic Batman vs. Superman...no holds barred...but also no interference. Your answers shall provide enlightenment to my otherwise knowledgeless life.

5. Batman. He?s got tha mad skillz that pay tha billz or whatever. Also in the Adam West episodes, Batman beat the Joker in a surfing competition so I imagine he could win a skateboarding competition as well.

8. Batman. he keeps doing it over and over again, how many more examples do you need?

[WiTT]

maybe the oldskool batman might have a chance (BIFF!, POW!, WHACK!, BONK!) now that batman ruled and what kind of a superhero is batman anyway when he needs robin to save his arse most of the time. A superhero with an apprentice is a joke spiderman and superman are a 1 man team.

[FireHart]

If Batman finds Clark Kent and there's no phone booth nearby, I say that Superman is screwed. Especially with several DK shots in the chest :p

[Thyrd]

what kind of a superhero is batman anyway when he needs robin to save his arse most of the time.

Robin is dead. DC held a poll a few years back and after about 30000 votes the majority chose to have robin killed, by a few hundred votes.

[Fuzzy Dice]

Batman. As depicted by frank miller, batman has big, spikey kryptonite gauntlets, and he beat the flying shit out of superman with them.

The man of steel is a cocky prick. the dark knight consistently takes him down a peg or two.

[BlueBoy]

Superman is a powerhouse, it's true. But Batman has the tactical know-how.
He's beaten Superman on a few occasions.

[WiTT]

Robin is dead. DC held a poll a few years back and after about 30000 votes the majority chose to have robin killed, by a few hundred votes.
Then why do they still put robin in all the new movies?

Captain Planet is a true her0, he's going to take pollution down to Zero

[Thyrd]

Then why do they still put him all the new movies?

Probably because the movies are not following the comics story. Everyone knows that batman has a side kick called robin, but its a little known fact that he was beaten to death.

Batman would win. Batman and Superman been at each others throats many, many times, and I can't remember a single instance when Superman has some out on top.

Generally, people in the know will say that Batman would win. People whos only experience with both characters is the movies, say Superman (through ignorance).

Maybe you're confused?

Original Robin is all growed up and now goes by the name of Nightwing. Robin #2 was the one that died.

which batman?
from the series, the comic books, or the movies?

How does a picture of them double-teaming a girl in purple tights prove they are gay? It would seem to do more to prove the opposite!


PS: Batman would win.

[lowededwookie]

The citizens of Metropolis must be the dumbest fuckers ever if they are unable to work out that Clark Kent is Superman.

I fail to see how a pair of glasses are a valid disguise. It's kind of like putting your hands over your eyes and saying you're invisible because you can't see people and therefore they can't see you.

I'm all for Batman. He's so dark whereas Superman's so gay. Big red hooker boots and skintight leotards. How twisty wrist is that? :D

[Thyrd]

So thats what happened? I thought it was wierd that in the cartoons nightwing said he used to be robin. Atleast hes not wearing that gay costume anymore. :fag:

From the comic.

It's a bit more complex than that IIRC (and I suspect BlueBoy knows the story).

The first Robin, Dick Grayson, (who is featured in the movie) is still alive and part of the DC universe canon, as "Nightwing" (you may remember in the movie he mentions the name "Nightwing" when he's considering names).

Jason Todd is the Robin who is killed (by the Joker, of course). He was the second Robin, I think.

Can't remember the name of the latest one.

Too slow again I see.

[BlueBoy]

I don't read that much DC, so I'll say what I know:

Tim Drake was the next Robin. He's also the Robin in the Teen Titans cartoon.

In May, The Spoiler became the new Robin, and the first Robin to be a girl (I'm not counting DKR, that's set in the future :p).

[tikdoph]

Tim Drake is the current Robin. The previous Robin (Jason Todd) was killed off because many fans thought, and justifiably so, that he was a complete tosser.

Batman would defeat Superman. Heck, Batman could defeat the entire Justice League. In the "Tower of Babel" storyline, the Justice League gets their asses kicked when Ra's Al Ghul obtains secret files of Batman's which contain methods to neutralise each and every JLA member (in the event that they go out of control). Once he realises what's going on, Batman manages to turn the tables on Ra's, but he still gets kicked out of the JLA because some of the other members no longer trust him. Why? Because he had studied all of their weaknesses and developed plans for stopping all of them cold, without telling them.

Earlier on, in the comics (a few years back), realising that someday someone might take over mental control of him, Superman gave Batman Lex Luthor's old Kryptonite ring (the one that caused Luthor to lose his hand), so that if he needed taking down, Batman could do it. He chose Batman, because he wanted to give the Kryptonite ring to someone he trusted implicitly. That and he knew that Batman would be the best man for the job.

Batman is such a logical thinker, master strategist, and tactician that he would beat Superman hands down. Supes relies too much on his brawn, not his brains. Batman would be several steps ahead of him all the way.

Oh, and one more thing... the reason that Batman keeps Robin around is not because he needs a sidekick. It's because when they're out busting crims and Robin is with him, Batman has to watch Robin's back, and that means that he can't be as reckless as he would otherwise be. Robin basically keeps him grounded and more focused on the job at hand. Which means he has a better chance of living longer.

[108]

I'll have to go back and check what the result of the vote in the JLA: Tower of Babel storyline, but either way, Batman walked before they could kick him out/forgive him. No one tells Batman what to do :fu:

[Holster]

OK, you all need to get laid ASAP

[tikdoph]

I'll have to go back and check what the result of the vote in the JLA: Tower of Babel storyline, but either way, Batman walked before they could kick him out/forgive him. No one tells Batman what to do :fu:Green Lantern, Flash, and Martian Manhunter voted for him to stay in the JLA. Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Plastic Man voted to have him ousted. Batman walked because he knew which way everyone would vote, and he knew that the deciding vote would be cast by Superman, which would be to vote him out.

[wibble]

Batman for me. He has the better gadgets and isn't bound to the same moral code as Superman.

[metalhed00]

Superman but Batman is cooler.

[s3raph]

How can there even be a debate here. Listen carefully: SUPERMAN IS INVINCIBLE. There is nothing Batman could do that would hurt him. Superman can fly , freeze things, x-ray vision, heat vision, and most importantly can resist a tactical nuclear blast in the same way that one would resist a light breeze. In a fight, Batman would get ass-raped like you could never imagine.

[s3raph]

But yeah. Batman is definitely cooler than Superman.

[Springer]

And Batmans already won the fight, so :P

Yes, lets all just ignore the scores of times that Batman has already beaten Superman in a fight.

"Dark Knight Returns" I think it is... when Superman got beat, that is...

And how many times has Superman found some way to resist Kryptonite. The fact remains HE IS INVINCIBLE.

I think the most recent time was during the Jim Lee Batman stint a year or so back?

[s3raph]

Come on, I mean every time someone has used Kryptonite against him he has survived. Doesn't that indicate a trend?

[Springer]

Come on, I mean every time someone has used Kryptonite against him he has survived. Doesn't that indicate a trend?

Yep, hes a good hero and always kicks their ass in the end. Either way, it will beat him, and Batmans done it before. (edit, was KILL, but I dont remember Batman killing Superman)

Oh and don't forget, Batman is one of the smartest dudes in the DC world, he knows how to fight better than most of the JLA and yeah, he could kick Supermans ass any time :)

Yes yes, I is nerd.

[108]

Come on, I mean every time someone has used Kryptonite against him he has survived. Doesn't that indicate a trend?
Yes it does. It indicates that Batman doesn't kill people. He's beaten Superman time and time again. When they are at odds again in the future, he will beat him again.

His other weakness is magic. That's why the Superman vs Thor debate is much more heated among comic nerds than Superman vs Batman (the result of which has already been proven many times).

Yeah, magic isnt as deadly as the green crap of course, but yeah, he gets hurt pretty bad by magic. Oh man, I miss reading comics :(

[Fuzzy Dice]

Obviously, if you put the two of them in a room with nothing more than their usual super hero accouterments (read: batman has no kryptonite) than superman is going to beat batman like a rented nig... mule. Like a rented mule.

But if Batman knows he'll have to deal with superman, than he's more than likely to win, because batman doesn't go in for a 'fair fight' if he knows he can't win. Batman always picks the playing field.

Batman keeps the kryptonite ring in his belt.

[Ransynkotw]

go batman!!! yeah - read dark knight returns for some sexy bat man winning action

[tikdoph]

Batman for me. He has the better gadgets and isn't bound to the same moral code as Superman.
I don't know about that. Batman's moral code is just as strong as Superman's, if not stronger. In current continuity, Superman has killed (The three Kryptonians from the Phantom Zone in the Pocket Universe that was created by the Time Trapper), whereas Batman hasn't.

The fact that Batman is driven to fight crime by the injustice of the loss of his murdered parents means that he is less likely to perpetrate the act of murder on someone else. He may work outside the law, and he may beat the crap out of criminals, but he is far less likely to betray his own moral code of never killing.

Also have a think about the motivations of the two heroes. Superman does what he does "because no-one else can". In other words, if Superman wasn't "super", he wouldn't go out of his way to help others any more than the average guy would. Whereas Batman does what he does so that no-one else has to suffer what he did, not because "no-one else can". To me, that puts Batman on a much higher moral ground than Superman.

Even in the Kingdom Come continuity, Superman gives up being a superhero because people think of his methods as "old fashioned" and popular opinion turns against him. What a cop out. Batman continues to fight crime, despite the fact that his back has been broken and his secret identity revealed. Why? Because the welfare of others never ceases to be important to him.

Batman has a shitload more guts and way better morals than Superman does, any day of the week.

[Springer]

Yep, thats true.

Superman would win - all he has to do is fuck Batman up the arse and blow his head off::
Ejaculation of semen is entirely involuntary in the human male, and in all other forms of terrestrial life. It would be unreasonable to assume otherwise for a kryptonian. But with kryptonian muscles behind it, Kal-El's semen would emerge with the muzzle velocity of a machine gun bullet. (One can imagine the Kent home in Smallville was riddled with holes during Superboy's puberty. And why did Lana Lang never notice that?)
Taken from Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex (http://www.larryniven.org/stories/Man_of_Steel_Woman_of_Kleenex.htm), a wonderful humorous essay by sci-fi writer Larry Niven, on why Superman and Lois Lane can never have sex. Read it, it's not only teh funny, it's also quite logical! :D

Because he's freakin batman. Citing earlier references:

Superman - attention seeking ego maniacal red
Batman - super coool even when NOT batman
Superman - fucking annoying even when NOT superman
Batman - very cool arch nemeses
Superman - fucking lex luthor???
Batman - lots of very sexy ladies
Superman - fucking louis lane?

...and finally
Batman - human
Superman - freakin alien man....

and we all know human beings are the smartest, best, strongest and most superiorist of all the creatures in the multiverse. just ask us.

... and the end of the day though he-man would kick all asses. hehe.

Bah, I say they both suck.

But if I had to choose, it would be batman.

[Merudo]

i dont understand how a guy in a black suit can beat someone who is practically invulnerable with limitless strength, that can fly on his own.

Please enlighten me as to how batman is supposed to do anything to someone that can run so fast you can't even see him? I dunno, maybe batman is more "tactical" but I just don't get it, it would all be over in a matter of seconds, wouldn't it?

The real test here is one that involves the fantastic four. God damn they piss me off, they must die.

Show wasn't bad though. whoa, that was a while ago.

By the way, iron man > bat man

rich snobby guy that wears a metal suit of death? fuck yeah!

one thing i fail to understand is how their sexual preference would judge whether one or the other wins or loses the fight.

I mean, everyones saying how supermans a flop wrist who got his powers when he came here as a baby and batman trained and earned his, well whoopee, that doesn't really make a difference, now does it?

Batman, definitely.

All he has to do to whup supermans ass is knock him off his wheelchair.

Superman's X-Ray vision: ShinyMetalASS said Batman had lots of sexy chicks, but superman with his xray vision could tell if a woman was excited in his presence...i won't go into the detail ;) In the secret life of superman, superman gets every woman and legal teen on the planet, because he can fly anywhere on the planet in the speed of a bullet. Batman can't compete in this department. Supes would not suffer from jet lag and other types of exhaustion either. Batman can only last so long, just like any other mortal human.

Batman wins on the principle that Superman is not able to be fit in with modern day needs in a story.

Being Mr everything back in the day may have worked when life was tuff, but today superman’s character is just boring, whoopee I'm mr can do fucking everything, but I still get nervous around girls cause I’m so sweet.


Batman on the other hand has been constructed into a character with some depth.


Oh and cause of the batmobile too. ;)


ps I stopped reading comics years ago so an argument off what would happen is irrelevant to me, the important part to remember is the suckyness of Superman would dictate that the conversation shouldn't need to go that far.

[SuCC]

The question was who would win the fight and for me there is no issue. The chances of a mortal winning against a supreme being is infintessimaly small as demonstrated. Everything else is aqua underground.

[StudMuffin]

Despite this (http://www.firstscience.com/site/articles/superman.asp) explanation of superman's powers i still find batman more realistic and so cooler.

Batman would win in a fight because he has no obvious weakness like superman's kryptonite and if batman could get his hands on some he'd win easy.

The kryptonite ring
kryptonite is the rarest mineral on the planet. This kryptonite "ring" batman is supposed to have in his belt is a bullshit scenario, because it is based on batman seeking out and acquiring the kryptonite off luthor presumably. While acquiring this ring, as a reporter and superhero, superman would be able to find out what is going down through his contacts and benefactors. At this point batman can lose easily, because he has not yet acquired the ring. A small piece would have less affect in area and intensity than the large piece that luthor carries and luthor would only sell batman a tiny fraction because the paranoid bastard is not about to give away his ONLY REAL defence against superman. NO WAY! So Batman steals it from luthor? Doubtful and complicates the imminent wass-whooping Batman will receive, because Luthor will pursue Batman relentlessly until he reposseses the Kryptonite.

The battle
Superman uses his speed, flight and strength to whup Batman from a distance, where the ring or even large kryptonite rock is useless. You can only imagine Batman's face as a bus comes hurtling towards him and he lamely tries to do a leap tuck and roll, only to be crushed because he has no super speed or indestructability =)

And batman is not cooler. He is a powerless human being in bat tights, a poseur. Several movies have been dedicated to his character and all have been :fag: . I'm not certain what happened to Robin, but he was :fag: also.

As depicted visually in some comics Batman definately looks cool, but that is comic art so they both look cool.

Interesting. I notice on page7 (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=176205&page=7&pp=10) and beyond some objective good points are made favouring Spidey. Most people who support Batman blatantly forget or ignore he is powerless and overrate his prep time (while the superhero sits around doing nothing in all cases) and ability to research, manufacture, wield and deploy scores of gadgets in perfect synchronicity. The months it would take to produce these so-called gadgets (many of which would have to be tested before batman could faithfully predict a positive effect) is a defeat, as the superhero would be hunting the coward.

Pshhhh.... cartoon shmartoon....

I stand by my earlier comments. If anything I feel more strongly....

Since Lex Luthor can fuck Superman around since he's a big rich dude, then therefore Bruce Wayne can beat the shit out of Superman since he's a big rich dude and also can kick ass with his bare hands. And remember that any guy off the street can beat up Superman with kryptonite.

Hell, I'd bet on Batman to beat up the Smallville version of Superman even without kryptonite since he's such a pansy.

Allready been done in the comics more than one once bats allways wins with a cunning combination of witts and kryptonie.

Special thermal cape + heat sensors = blockz0red.

Okay then, Supes flies away to the Asteroid Belt past Mars, grabs a choice selection, returns to the edge of our atmosphere, and throws the fucking thing at the Wayne Mansion.

I know Bats is underground in his latent-homosexual cave, but the ensuing force would be equivalent to Hiroshima. Instantly vaporised.

The Batcave security systems would set off alarms that a large object is approaching from space. Bruce Wayne then uses Wayne Enterprises to create a special missile that causes Mars to bounce back. Evadedz0red.

PS. Batman gets his kryptonite gloves and teaches Superman the meaning of the words: prison bitch.

I now think Superted would beat them both.

I could never sing the Superted part of the theme song at the end fast enough:

"Supatd!!"

My sister and I used to have competitions. Im rather afraid that at the age of 26 I can still remember the intro.

THEY THREW HIM AWAY LIKE A PIECE OF RUBBISH INTO AN OLD DARK STORY ROOM!!!
