Henry Cavill Gives The Right Answer To The BATMAN v SUPERMAN Question

With the incredible powers in Superman's possession, it's hard to imagine a scenario where Batman (without kryptonite) comes out on top in a fight. Here, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star Henry Cavill answers why it wouldn't be a one-sided affair.

Debates about whether Batman could truly defeat Superman have raged in the comics and amongst fans for decades.  Now with an epic cinematic battle on the horizon, the debate has intensified.  Logic dictates that with the myriad of abilities and powers in Superman's possession, Superman would defeat Batman in two seconds - regardless of whether he has on armor or not. So how does a film like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice have a clash between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight that isn't over beefore it begins?  Henry Cavill has a prety good answer.     

Asked by JoBlo.com why  Superman wouldn't end the fight with Batman in two seconds, Cavill replied,  "Well, if Superman were Superman, he wouldn't.  And therein lies your answer." 

 


Meaning that Superman's ideals and principals will keep him from going all out and possibily injuring or killing Batman. And with Superman fighting at only 50-70% of his maximum that gives Batman (and most of Superman's villains) a fighting chance.   It reminds of  a great scene from Bruce Timm's Justice League: Unlimited.

Superman can kill Batman but after what happened to Zod? He would never kill again.

EXACTLY!!! Superman is the most human of all of us. He will show TREMENDOUS mercy on Batman. Batman will take absolute full advantage over that mercy and constraint.

Plus, Batman isn't going to fighr A GOD without SOME form of armor and/or protection. Batman isn't dumb. He will not only protect himself, but he can also take advantage of Superman's kindness and mercy.

I know someone mentioned that it was theorized that Batman's armored suit is made out of Zod's armor suit and other materials from his invasion.

If theorizing, someone were to wear that would that be able to harm Superman due to the fact while Superman was fighting Zod and his gang while his gang wore armor suits that the suits never broke while Superman punched them?

Brings up a good point.

Super-man needs to whoop Batman's ass just to shut up all the "fanboys" thinking a dude in a friggin Batsuit is enough to take down an alien from another planet.. after he fought 3 Kryptonians, death star machine AND killed Zod. Yeah good luck Bats LOL

he despise killing. Actually it was a smart move from Snyder and friends to give him a reason for that by killing Zod. Sadly the scene was not executed properly. I liked the scream at the end but the stake should be higher. Not some random family. Or maybe Zod should just try to kill Lois and piss off Superman so much that he would be able to cross any line to defend her.
