Batman is human.  Has no powers.  Probably has roid rage, and needs to take it out on some ass.\n\nSuperman is an alien with a boyscout badge.

I had never thought of this, but now that you bring it up I think there's a good possibilty. Superman goes arounf saving "good" guys and fighting "bad" guys, just like Santa judges if people are "naughty" or "nice." Since they both have this superhuman powers, they think they have the right to judge people and go on power trips. Like you say they both fly, although Santa uses reindeer and a sleigh, but they both also have a fondness of the red suit and how else could Santa vistit all those houses in one night, if he were not in fact "faster than a speeding bullet?" They are both apparently fireproof and like the cold. Santa lives a t North Pole and Superman's Fortress of Solitude is in Antartica.

It sounds like you've watched a bit too much "Smallville" as a basis for your logic in this question.  Red kryptonite chunks will always effect Kryptonians in the same way, but every chunk has a different random effect.  So, it would really depend what sort of effect the red kryptonite had, & how soon after exposure Superman fought, as after 3 days he would be immune to its effects.  Therefore, unless somehow the red kryptonite chunk bestowed the ability on Superman to be immune to green Kryptonite for 3 days, Batman would win.

If Wonder Woman was choosing she would choose Superman, they are both from other planets.\n\nIf I were choosing, it would be Batman all the way.  Dark, brooding, sexy, a good boy with an evil streak, just the way I like them!

This is directly from Wikipedia, as my words would not do Superman's strength justice.\n\n"Super strength: While the exact magnitude of Superman's strength is unknown, it is generally accepted that his strength easily surpasses the capacity to lift 100 tons, but how much more is not known exactly. This is because Superman's strength, like his other powers, has fluctuated over time, with the Man of Steel being at times able to shift a planet from its orbit. One figure for Superman's strength is 800,000 tons (pre-The Death of Superman story arc). In the Elseworlds saga Kingdom Come, the elderly but still brilliant Bruce Wayne makes reference to Superman being able to "split the Earth in two." As mentioned above Superman can possess enough strength to move an entire planet upon attaining enough solar energy from Earth's yellow sun. The newly released series All Star Superman, written by Grant Morrison, has Superman's strength being tested by scientists on a lunar lab after flying through the Sun's corona. The scientist's found that he was able to resist weights up to 200 quintillion tons , tripling his strength from an earlier point and hadn't yet reached an upper limit. However, it was revealed that Superman had stored too much raw solar energy, so much so that it was causing cell death at a rapid rate. Although the All Star imprint may not be strictly canonical, this firmly places him at the top of superhero power levels in virtually any comic book universe."

simple fight superman freezes, punches, or heat visions batman early out and hes down...... spideys gonna be a little more agail and will jump around a bit but when he jumps down to hit wolverine he gets 3 claws through the face then this fight lasts forever if its a fight to the death because wolverine has an unlimited healing factor(even heat vision dosnt kill hes been thrown into the sun really) and supes invulnerable to anything......so it would last forever unless dark beast came over to turn of wolverines healing or someone gave wolvie some kryptinite......the writers really makin it hard to kill superheroes

He's the closest of all the super heroes who COULD actually exist.\n\nHe's my fav, so I am a little bias. But think about it. If you had some independently wealthy guy or girl, who dedicated their lives to fighting crime and trained to that level... Sure, why not?\n\nSpecial Forces training, Intelligence agencies, martial arts, weapons, detective/law-enforcement agencies, security firms, and high tech toys exist with the level of sophistecation to make someone a Batman.\n\nSo, yeah, Batman could exist today.

Everyones wrong, Spidey would prevail!  The question is CLARK KENT vs. PETER PARKER not Spidey vs.Supes.  Kent is a a clutz and unless he wants to blow his cover, he would have to go along with letting Parker whup his ass.  Besides, Peter Parker is a scientist with Spidey sense and would be able to manipulate Superman's kryptonite weakness by shooting him with krypto-webs!!

I hate his comics. The X-men and Spiderman don't have a lot of powers, so it's interesting reading how they figure out how to defeat someone more powerful. Superman is boring, he just uses his powers, and makes no effort.

The short answer to this question is that pathologically Lex Luthor desires to be the most powerful man in the world.  He can not accomplish this feat while Superman lives, thus he needs to kill the competition.  Much like many serial killers, politicians, or corporate big wigs (a fine line), their need for power can not be satiated and always left hungry for more.  Besides, I really don't feel like watching a movie about Superman rescuing cats from trees, even though that may have been a better 2 hours spent then Superman IV to begin with.

Batman.  He didn't have super powers, he was just a super smart guy, and he used his money for good.  I think that rules.

Superman.\nHe has superior speed and is literally invulnerable to physical attacks (there goes his Bite) the only thing that might slow him down is his poisonus breath, but thats only if this guy can get close to him.\nSUPERMAN, No Question!

I would have to say the Batman.\nThe way I see it, Batman can beat just about anyone out there...DC fans know that he already has multiple plans in place to take out his own friends (they've been used against him a couple of times in the comics in the past couple of years) and has taken down Superman a couple of times.\nBoth Heroes have brains in abundance, but I give Bats the edge in sheer creativity. I think he'd have the Iron Man suit out of commission within moments, making it a big tin-can holding cell.

I think Spiderman.  I mean, he's got experience being a normal human.  Superman wouldn't know how to deal with being a normal human.  Spiderman would kick his tush within 2 minutes.

My feeling is that the writers and editors at DC deliberately leave this "who's richer" question open, precisely because they don't want to encourage the kind of continuity-obsessed fact-checking that boxes good writers into a corner when all they're trying to do is tell fun stories about guys & girls in tights. \n\nIf we're talking net worth, though, I would argue Lex Luthor is the more wealthier of the two. He's older than Wayne, so he's had more time to amass his wealth (which he started doing at a very young age, according to current bio), and I would say he's a lot less picky how he makes his money, meaning he would be more likely to get into the big defense contracts and other ethically queasy industries than someone like Bruce Wayne. \n\nAs for power... again, I have to hand it to Lex. Remember, "Bruce Wayne" is just the facade that Batman uses to carry on a day-to-day life; it differs from writer to writer, but Bruce is usually portrayed as a playboy... someone who likes making money, but isn't too concerned about using it to further his power. Image is everything, so I wouldn't be surprised if most people in the DC universe see Bruce Wayne as a Donald Trump type -- rich and powerful in his own circles, but hardly someone that inspires fear or rumours of political office. \n\n(btw, there's a really fun JLA story -- can't remember the exact issue off the top of my head -- where Batman gets one of Luthor's gang members to betray him simply by upping the villain's asking price, a plot point later used in a Justice League cartoon. Just goes to show money can't buy happiness, but it sure can rent it for a while.) \n\nJust for fun, check out the link below. Forbes magazine does an annual "Fictional Fifteen" where it lists the estimated wealth of fictional billionaires. Lex Luthor ($10.1 billion) came in fourth after Santa Claus, Daddy Warbucks and Richie Rich; Bruce Wayne ($6.5 billion) came in eighth, just beating out the millionaire from Gilligan's Island.
