I think Ron could defeat him no problem.

Why not just get one of Zod's guns? I'm sure one or two were laying around somewhere after the final battle. And Lois Lane killed a few of Zod's henchmen with their own weapons, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to use them.

What Doopie said. My gut says the world generator thing turned some of earth into kryptonite.

In a realistic world yes, Superman would annihilate Batman. But who the hell would want to pay cash for a film where the god beats the human? Thats just dumb. So of COURSE Batman is going to beat Superman in this film. Thats entertaining.

This subject, of how Batman could presumably defeat Superman, is what largely intrigues me about Batman V Superman, and the DCCU as a whole.

You see, this will go one of two ways: Either a, Batman will find some type of loophole (as he did in The Dark Knight Returns and every other confrontation), or b , he will literally go toe-to-toe with Superman. In reference to the latter, I could see this direction as a blessing for the character (in the sense that it would not only give opportunity for Snyder and Co. to reinvent Batman’s arsenal, but to increase the character’s overall intelligence level, as well).

For example, one of the many ways in which this type of improvement could be executed, would be to give the character some type of force field gadget.

"In a realistic world yes, Superman would annihilate Batman."

Something WB/DC (and mostly fanboys) always use to describe their universe. Mmm

I'm not anticipating their fight, I like it more when they interact with each other like partners, friends, not enemies.
The last thing we need is another parade of Batman fanboys jerking off to the image of Batman defeating Superman.

Luthor and Batman working together against Superman would be spectacular.

ironic that Bats can easily use the same ploy the Joker did in TDK to defeat Super.
he knows he wont kill him.

Rebel's right. All Batman would have to do is sleep with Lois and Martha.

Sorry ever since Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns Batman and Superman must hate each other and to have them be friends is absolutely laughable. They must rage at the very thought of the other existing and the only reason they can even stand the sight of each other is through the thinnest of truces but the second one of them even looks at the other the wrong way then boom they will try to murder one another. That is my biggest problem with Dark Knight Returns that Miller completely believes that Superman and Batman must hate each other and be enemies and this idea has permeated since then. Miller has no understanding of Superman as a character and them fighting each other was bad. You want a good story where Batman and Superman fight against each other go read Alex Ross and Mark Waid's Kingdom Come. They knew how to write Batman and Superman and them fighting one another made perfect sense.

Stan Lee once posted a video in which he fielded the question that has been asked of him countless times. "Who'd win in a fight between so-and-so and so-and-so?"

One answer, across the board, to all of the various match-ups.

"Whoever the writer wants to win."

Batman wins because he's the damn BATMAN. He doesn't have to hold back. Superman does. Superman would rather get his ass kicked by Batman than kill Batman, which is what he'd have to do to make Batman stop.

Superman, by virtue of the magnitude of his powers, can't win that fight. If he wins, he loses. No such dichotomy on Batman's side. Sure, Superman could throw Batman into deep space, melt him with a simple gaze, or crush his skull with a gentle tap on the forehead. But he can't and won't do that. Batman has that one rule, which, in regard to Superman, he couldn't really break even if he wanted to. So the Bat-gloves would be off while Superman's kid gloves would be on.

Without kryptonite there is no way let alone 5 ways Batman could ever beat Superman. It's a joke to say otherwise. Superman could flick a booger with more force than Batman could punch or kick. Even kryptonite is dicey because in the second it would take Batman to get the rock out of his belt, Superman could rearrange every bone and organ in Batman's body.
