    People always want Batman to match up against Superman in a fight, because Superman has an obvious weakness that is easily exploitable by Batman (of course the fight still has to be set up perfectly for Batman to win - like the fight begins while Superman is close enough to Batman that he is within effective radius of Kryptonite, not starting the fight with Batman in Gotham and Superman in Metropolis). Anyway, as I was saying, Batman can use Kryptonite to beat Superman, but how would he fare against a metahuman with less power, but also without such a glaring weekness, like Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine, Magneto, or Sinestro? Probably not very well.

    anyone who thinks batman is the "best" superhero is r****ded.
    batman sucks okay? I don't care about his money or resources...that is the dumbest argument for winning a fight I've ever heard of. well...batman could spend like 1 billion dollars and, have someone build a time machine so he could go back in time. then they would shoot the comet that brought baby superman to earth!

    so...stupid...

    I don't even LIKE superman and we all know he would drill batman with his pinky and, make his internal organs explode or something ridiculous like that.

    People tend to like Batman, because they can relate to him

    *tragic life - having parents killed
    *wins with brains, skill instead of super skill or superhuman/natural ability
    *super rich....
    *mysterious
    *is technically a New Yorker...Gotham City is New York's nickname.
    *he's kinda rebel type of superhero, since he is vigilante

    With all of that being said, Batman would get his ass hand to him if he were to go against the likes of a Apocalypse or the Hulk (or any other powerful Marvel foe), Dragon Ball Z character (Goku, Picollo, Cell, or etc.), or even Star Wars character (like Vader, or Maul). Most of those characters don't have any glaring weakness, like Superman does.

    the green lanterns..
    can fly, be invulnerable, travel time, radiate kyrptonite, split atoms
    ..their rings allow them to do pretty much anything they can imagine.

    beat that!

    Yeah, they have the most ridiculous weakness of anyone. Well, except Wonder Woman and her old bondage-lasso thing.

    Well, they have a weakness to the color yellow (except for one of them after the Parallax incident). Throwing a banana was an exaggeration, but their power rings have no effect on yellow things.

    I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with Batman as well, unless Raphael from the Ninja Turtles counts. :cool:

    HELL YEA.. dude quailman would read a book at the speed of a quail, learn batman's weaknesses and stupify him with his stupifying ray. Plus if all goes bad, Silver Skeeter will back him up and own whatever superhero challenges him.

    Game over... qualiman >>>>>>>> all superheroes..

    I'm rather drunk right now but that doesnt change the fact that quailman owns all superheroes.

    so two pages with no vince young picture. i'm proud of you guys.

    why is there so much kryptonite and how are these guys getting it so easily? if you take out these super heroes randomly carrying kryptonite in their pocket i guess superman should be the easy choice to beat anyone.

    Superman has a weakness to magic in addition to kryptonite, so magic users like Morgan le Fey, Zatana, Dr. Fate, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, etc. could still cause him problems.

    You think the average person can relate to a super rich man who witnessed his parents' murder? Where exactly did YOU grow up?
