Some kid I know told me that Batman defeats Superman. WTF? I don’t watch these movies or read these comics but exactly how does this happen and why, if true?
Batman has no super powers
actually Batman has defeated Superman TWICE...in the comics.
but is this movie batman or batflick.
Frank Miller did this in 1986. Batman ‘won’ that time too.
In the Dark Knight Returns comics, about 1986, Batman hit Superman with all his gadgets, which couldn't hurt him, but distracted Superman long enough for Green Arrow to shoot him with a kryptonite tipped arrow. Batman then beat the crap out of him. This comic book series is so famous that every Batman movie refers back to it in some way.
There have been several versions of this in comics through the years. It normally evolves around Batman having access to kryptonite.
One of the funniest 5 panel cartoons I’ve seen has superman using his heat vision on batman, then he reads a letter to be opened on batmans death which says, just so you know I injected myself with a kryptonite serum so your standing in the mist now, then sups dies. Another has him throwing bats into the sun and with a similar setup the suns rays irradiate sups with kryptonite.
Always fun to be had with mental gymnastics.
Read the graphic novel The Dark a Knight Returns by Frank Miller. Shows you how Batman beats Superman. Also happens to be the best comic book ever written. Came out around 1987
