Superman vs Batman. Oh boy.
Wellp, i read a lot of Batman and a Lot of Superman. I really like both series alot.
Anyways, Superman Beated Batman in Superman : Red Son. And thats Canonical,though its an alternate universe(Red Son´s Superman and his Final Crisis Cameo was pretty cool),so i dont know if it counts. In the Main universe,Batman kind of Stop Superman in Batman Hush,but he didnt win, he just stop him from being mentally controlled.
1.
Superman: Red Son is not canonical, because it's an alternate universe. It's canonical of it's in the main universe, the primary DC world.
2. Batman has never defeated Superman in a canonical fight. Ever.
Ever.
3. I really don't think it makes much sense for Superman to trust Batman with the task of stopping him if he ever became a threat to the world. Superman could find much more capable people. Like Doctor Fate, for instance. Or Martian Manhunter. Captain Marvel (I refuse to call him Shazam just because DC lost their balls when it came to that character). Hell, let's be honest: unless you have Doctor Fate taking him on, it'd probably have to be a team effort.
Hmmm, I thought Alternate universes did count as canonical,specially because characters from the main universe travel to this universes and some times they all get Mixed up. Like when all the Supermans from all the universes join the Fight in Final Crisis. And yes,it would proabally take a whole team to Stop Superman, but with Batman´s Plans they can pretty much take god down if needed to. Thats the thing about Batman, he can do what ever he wants if he has weeks or even months of preparation. Though,when he is confronted with Unexpected encounters,he gets his a** handed to him (Knightfall is a fine example of this.). Also,i think Superman´s IQ is way higher than Batman´s. So even with Months of preparation,it would take a whole team to take him down.
1. No, alternate universe are not canonical. The whole point of canon and non-canon is that it's non-canon when it's in an alternate universe. It's only canon when it's in the primary universe. There are crossovers between worlds sometimes but that's irrelevant. The alternate versions are not the same as the primary versions.
2. Batman can not take down God. "He's Batman" is not a superpower and he is not capable of anything just because "he's Batman". In
The Dark Knight Returns (which is non-canon for the record so it's not as relevant as I'd like it to be) Batman had
years of preparation to take down Superman, who had been weakened after getting nuked, and who was holding back. Batman was using a suit that was drawing energy from the whole city, and he also had Green Arrow to aid him with a kryptonite arrow.
And Batman still did not win that fight. This idea of "he can do anything with prep time" is bullshit, and it just goes to show that when that idea is taken seriously, Batman is far,
far more overpowered than Superman.
