Good old Hollywood. A matchup between Superman and Batman would last about 0.05seconds, if the characters were true to the original fictional characters. But then that wouldn’t be fun, would it?

I keep mentioning this to my kids. For some reason, they think there can be some sort of contest.

I used to read Superman comics when I was a kid. I recall one edition where he pushed planet Earth out of the way of some sort of space beam, and then pushed it back in place afterward.

I recall another edition where he bored through a mountain with his X-Ray vision. You know, solid rock vaporized by X-Ray beams.

A match-up between Superman and Batman is just nonsense in the comic book universe, and it makes even less sense in ours.

We have become an ignorant culture in which such a contest as this can be suggested.

True. Remember the "Black Dahlia" a few years back? The main complaints were that the plot was too convoluted and hard to follow. Yet, that was the sort of plot writing in any detective movie or film noir pre-1960. This is sign of the degrading intellectual levels and increasingly short attention spans of the general public. They can't keep in mind what occurred on the screen 15 minutes ago and so get "lost".
