Superman would beat Batman in a fight to the death.

Batman's level of preparation is mostly based on mortal standards (for example, him having various antidotes for different toxins); meaning when it comes to situations far above mortal means, his preparation should be logically limited. To say "Whatever comes his way he is prepared" is highly erroneous, and that with preparation he can defeat nearly everyone is to say that Batman is for all intents and purposes unbeatable. I was unable to find anything about Batman being immune to most known toxins, and carrying antidotes on him at all times in his armpit compartment. I ask my opponent to provide proof. 2. This drive is known as Indomitable Will, and is in fact an ability that both he and Superman possess. Batman's drive is "a billion times stronger than Superman's" is speculation at best and probably false. Superman also has the ability known as "Torquasm Vo" which is an ancient Kryptonian mental discipline used to help fight adverse effects such as mental domination. I feel the time allotted for preparation is very necessary, due to the fact that some of the methods you mentioned would require some time to coordinate. As for the fights with Superman that Batman has had, allow me to shed some light on at least 2 that I know of. In Batman Vol 1 612 http://dc.wikia.com... If you read it, Batman himself even admits that if Superman wanted to, he could use his super speed to squish him into the cement, but states he doesn't because he's a good person. In this comic it's even stated that "Although he (Superman) is under Poison Ivy's control, a part of his intellect keeps him from using his full strength. Batman won with the help of Catwoman, and Superman himself who had previously given Batman a Kryptonite ring. Superman was also holding back because he wanted to lose, and that is quite obvious. As for the second fight, that can be found in "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Vol 1 4 http://dc.wikia.com... http://en.m.wikipedia.org... Superman saves the lives of many people in the western hemisphere by diverting a nuclear warhead to an uninhabited area. The Bomb exploded and threw a lot of dust in the air which blocked out the sunlight that gives him his powers. Superman is ordered by the government to take down Batman. If Green arrow would not have tipped off Batman, he would likely be dead, due to the fact that in a surprise attack it would be near impossible for Batman to defeat Superman in a random unplanned fight. The comic stated that Batman "prepares" for his ultimate clash; Batman is armed with Kryptonite (which he created), a powered exoskeleton and the Batmobile, the comic states that he only "manages" to defeat Superman who is severely weakened due to the lack of sunlight. All those nifty gadgets and preparation along with the help of the Green Arrow and a kryptonite tipped arrow, and he only MANAGED to defeat a WEAKENED Superman. If it was an easy or not so difficult battle for Batman, then the comic surely would not have used the word "manages". I believe my point here is clear. Also it is stated that this series takes place in an alternate continuity that is separate from the mainstream DC universe. Method 1: Your link doesn't back up your claim, as it does not adequately explain what went on in that particular story line, so I researched. The basic story is that an alien known as Tlano teleports Batman to his planet Zur-En-Arrh, because he needs help in defeating his foes. Batman gains the ability to jump very high, and punch very hard, due to the very low gravity of the planet. I did not see any mention of other powers such caused by "Rodon soaked air". If this air exists on the planet and simply needs to be inhaled in order to develop super powers such as those of The Man of Steel himself, then Tlano, would have no use for his atomic powered Batmobile and Batplane that he built. So with just the two powers Batman is stated in the comic to have attained he would be nowhere near on an even power field with Superman. http://geniusboyfiremelon.blogspot.com... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://dc.wikia.com... Method 2: Batman does not always know where all the heroes of the JLA are. Secondly, I would like to point out that Batman getting the jump on Dr. Fate would be a near impossible task. While equipped with the Helm of Nabu, Dr. Fate is almost the closest one can get to being omniscient without actually being omniscient. The helmet also has "Helm's Resistance, and can render the wearer insane. Likely, Batman would not be able to use it. http://dc.wikia.com...(New_Earth). It should also be noted that Superman is not more susceptible to magic than all other people, but rather it is something he does not have an inherent immunity to. Zatanna has trained Superman to be able to counter almost every known spell. As for the Lantern Ring, its power is not based on magic but energy, and thus is not a weakness of Superman. The ring is weak to vibrational interference, which severely limits the ring's powers. Superman could create a device that mimics this. http://dc.wikia.com... If Batman were to steal a ring, The Lantern Corps would no doubt converge on him, and retrieve the ring. Superman has survived a magical sword in the chest and a magical arrow in his back, during a fight that he won against four Elder Gods. http://dc.wikia.com...(Clark_Kent) My opponent's Black Kryptonite plan is fallacious. Batman would have to be able get this Kryptonite near Superman, and succeeding would create more problems. Superman can fly at many times the speed of light, and kill Batman long range. Who's to say that the two Supermen would be able to kill each other? They would have to fight at full power, and this resulting clash would destroy everything in their surroundings and quite possibly the entire planet. If any of the 2 were to win, it would be the evil Superman, due to ruthlessness. Batman is now faced with an even greater problem. An evil Superman would have no problem pushing the entire planet into a star just for the sake of defeating Batman. Black Kryptonite also has a chance of affecting humans in the same manner it affects Kryptonians, so I believe Batman would never take the risk of splitting himself into 2, so he wouldn't use Black Kryptonite. Superman need only wear his lead suit. Superman could make a replica of his normal suit that would have lead infused into it (like Batman's mask). Superman could feign susceptibility to Kryptonite to trick Batman, and dispose of him while his guard is down. He could even wear this in addition to wearing his normal lead suit, for further deception. There are various forms of Kryptonite that are lethal to humans such as Slow Kryptonite & Bizarro Red Kryptonite. Superman need only to have these on him. http://dc.wikia.com... He would be able to detect the presence of Kryptonite thanks to his super smell. Method 4: My previous defenses against Kryptonite are sufficient rebuttals. Method 5: Superman is not nearly stupid enough to burst into the Batcave. Batman would not be controlling the location of this battle, if anything, Superman would, him being able to punch Batman across the universe. Batman would need to know the location of said places to teleport there using the JLA watchtower. If Batman could easily mimic red sun radiation, why wouldn't he use minimal effort for something that could give him bountiful reward? It has never been shown/implied/alluded to that Batman has created anything like this. Method 6: Loud noises would not work against Superman who can either shut off his super hearing, or just choose to focus on a different sound. http://dc.wikia.com...(Clark_Kent) p.s. Please provide evidence for your claims.
