batman vs. superman

What book did that happen in?

These sort of debates are pretty pointless to begin with, since A) The question "who would win?" inevitably gets twisted into "Who do you like more?" almost every single time, and more importantly B) Who would "win" depends entirely on whose book they were "fighting" in. Of course in any Batman book Batman would emerge victorious, and in any Superman book Superman would come out looking stronger.

I mean there IS the evidence in an issue of Superman from 1998 or so where he took out the entire Justice League by himself that Batman, Kryptonite or no, wouldn't be much trouble. I don't think the Kryptonite would even be much of an issue since Superman already knows he has it and would prepare accordingly, possibly some sort of lead-shielding or armor or something. Take into account Batman's occasional penchant for irrational behavior (like punching Superman bare-knuckled in the "Batman: Death in the Family" TPB... way to go, genius) and I honestly think Superman would win any "fight" with a minimum of effort.

I love both characters but I seriously don't see any logical way Batman could win. Even in "Dark Knight Returns", which most Batman supporters point to as evidence of Batman's supposed superiority, he was fighting a weakened version of Superman.

Plus I think "Dark Knight Strikes Again" conclusively proved that Frank whatsisname is completely insane anyway.
