Batman could kill Superman in a fight

Hello, I accept your challenge and I look forward to seeing how this pans out. This will be one of my first debates on this website. For the record, I am much more a fan of Batman than I am of Superman, however I just don't think Batman could kill Superman in a fight. I'll be primarily referencing from the comics and graphic novels to construct my arguments. The most important questions about this argument are the following: Can Superman be killed? If so, how? And could Batman be able to perform this killing during a fight himself? Let's start by breaking down what the debate means in general. For your argument to be sound, two things are required: 1. Batman must be able to kill Superman 2. It must be done through a fight Now, for the first part to be true this means Superman has to be able to die. While Superman can die, there is only a couple very specific ways for this to happen. The most obvious of which is through the use of kryptonite, which causes Superman to lose his powers, suffer extreme pain, and then after, after prolonged exposure, could kill him. The second known way for Superman to die is through solar energy exhaustion, as seen in "The Death of Superman" where after a very large amount of time and energy fighting against Doomsday it seems that Superman dies. While it turns out later on that Superman was only near death and was then revived, it's still one of the only canon cases where Superman almost died. Doomsday, however, was only able to accomplish this because he was as strong and fast as Superman, really. So how could Batman possible kill Superman like that? Sure, he's strong and has some powerful gear but only the day Batman can find some way to manufacture Superman's strength and speed into his suit does Batman even remotely stand a chance in killing Superman through exhaustion. This leaves kryptonite as Batman's only logical way to be able to defeat Superman, and it makes a lot of sense that Batman would utilize kryptonite to his advantage as best as he could. In fact, when we actually see Batman and Superman face off in "The Dark Knight Falls", that's how he attempts to defeat Superman. Batman distracts Superman long enough for Oliver Queen, the former Green Arrow, to shoot a kryptonite arrow at Superman. As it sticks into Superman, Batman starts beating the weakened Superman up badly. Unfortunately, Batman suffers a heart attack and is unable to kill Superman before collapsing and dying. It later turns out that he didn't actually die as well, but merely went into hiding, however it did seem that in that moment Superman could be killed by the Batman in a fight. However, I would argue that the only reason Batman stood a chance in that fight was because of Queen. With Superman distracted, Queen was able to fire the arrow before Superman noticed because he was trying to reason with Batman. If Queen had never been involved and Batman had to find a way to hit Superman with kryptonite himself, Superman never would've fallen for it. Sure, Batman would try to plan some way to do it but when it's just Superman vs Batman, no one else involved, I don't see Superman being that easily deceived. He has super vision, super hearing, super smell, and x-ray vision. For the second part of the requirements to be true, Batman and Superman must fight. Meaning Batman, in this argument, can't just set some sort of kryptonite trap in which Batman doesn't have to physically fight Superman. If you want to say Batman would setup some kind of trap with an unrealistic large amount of kryptonite (which would be very difficult to do because kryptonite isn't some easy thing to just buy or come across), I would say that while I agree that would be one way I feel Batman would try to kill Superman, I don't consider that to be a fight. A smart and difficult trap, yes, but not a fight.
