How would Batman beat Superman?

Question

I know Batman has the plan and kryptonite, but superman would just use his super speed, flying, strength, and heat/laser vision to kill Batman quickly. Plus, Batman can get four punches in with that kryptonite ring he has before all of the bones in his hand break! Even if Batman's smarter, Lex Luthor is smarter than Batman, yet Supes beats him regularly. Please explain it to me.

Answer 1

(Edit spelling)Batman cannot beat Superman in a fair fight. Kryptonite ring or no, a flash of heat vision at a distance would vaporize everything it touches. Or a boulder thrown with super-strength and speed would pulverize anything it hit. So a fair fight is out.



Fortunately Batman doesn't always fight fair. Unlike Lex Luthor, Batman would not underestimate Superman.



Using his knowledge of how Superman does things, Batman could cause an explosion causing a large fire. As Superman arrives, Batman can saturate the air with Kryptonite dust, knowing that Superman will inhale a large amount of air to blow out the fire. Superman breathes in the kryptonite and is weakened enough for Batman to defeat him.



Since Batman knows Superman is Clark Kent, Batman could attack Clark. Batman (in disguise) could just get close to Clark on a crowded street and shoot him with kryptonite bullets, no more Superman.



Edit

I've read decades worth of Superman stories and have never seen him examine the air before blowing out a fire. Batman would wear a disguise (so he doesn't stand out), Superman only does a precursory scan before putting out a fire. It would not be enough to penetrate Batman in disguise.



As Clark Kent, he doesn't scan the crowds looking for people trying to kill Superman. It isn't something he would expect. Batman doesn't start sweating or have an increased heart beat due to this type of stress. He has trained himself not to do these things. Batman has gone undercover and used disguises before (Matches Malone), it's not something new to him. You don't see it much these days, but, Batman is a master of disguises.



The trick is to cause a distraction and attack Superman when he isn't expecting it. You don't fight Superman fair, like a gunfight in the middle of the street (something Lex Luthor usually does).

Answer 2

Batman couldn't defeat Superman, even if batman had all the kryptonite in the world. If Superman was absolutely, nothing to lose pissed at Batman, Batman would stand no chance. Batman couldn't even hide. Just think, Superman can travel faster than sound, dodge bullets(that's a really freakin fast reaction time), see through walls, punch/fly through any earth-made thing, could hear cotton balls falling on the floor 100 miles away and has heat vision that could incinerate almost anything. Do you really think Batman has a chance? If Superman was trying to straight up murder Batman, he could. Even if Batman was wearing a suit of kryptonite armor and had all the kryptonite bullets in the world, Superman could just fly out into space and fly down at batman as hard and fast as freakin possible. Batman wouldn't even be able to know what was happening before he was crushed into the cement. The kryptonite armor would shatter and wouldn't even start to affect superman before Batman was dead. The only reason Batman stood a chance against Supes in any comic is because Superman was holding back and/or not trying to really kill Batman. Superman is very very very smart and with his enhanced vision, hearing, reflexes, speed, and strength he could easily overcome any of Batman's traps probably with brute force alone.



@rick Do you not think superman could see the Kryptonite particles in the air with his micro vision? and also Superman would easily see Bruce in the street approaching him(X-ray vision). and you know how cops can read people and can tell if they are under stress or lying an stuff like that? well Supes would hear Batman's rapid heart beat and then spot out Bruce and see that he is sweating and stuff. Clark would know that somethin is going on and has much faster reflexes than Bruce.



@Hawk X-ray vision and flight bro. a minefield wouldn't work

Answer 3

Because he's Batman.



Well Batman has a talent for using advanced technologies. Maybe he will use a Kryptonite minefield and stand in the centre of it, and as soon as Superman steps on the ground, BOOM! He is filled with Kryptonite. Batman wins.



Or Batman could blow some Kryptonite gas into Supermans face, Superman inhales it, it's basically poison for him, so he either dies or is incapicated.

Answer 4

I find this question a little odd, so many people ask it, but you can find the answer in several comics (don't ask me which ones - I don't remember). Batman ALWAYS beats Superman. A lot of people find this little tidbit shocking, but Batman is all about strategy, and strategy will always beat brute strength in a fight. Anyone or anything that can beat them? I'm sure there are several, however there is no way of knowing who the most powerful fighter ever is, because in order to find out everyone would have to fight everyone else. Just remember, the strongest doesn't necessarily win.

Answer 5

Cause Supes is a boyscout and Batman is a badass

Answer 6

there are a few theories out there

1) by the will of his dead parents

2) with justice

3) gum, a diamond, and a fire extinguisher

4) by throwing dick (thats what she said) at him and attacking from behind

5) he doesn't
