While Superman may have the enduringness to take down Batman , there have been literary argument that Batman ’s wit and detective skills could facilitate him come out on top . This has been a battle that ’s been muse on for so long that it ’s made its room into the comedian withThe Dark Knight Returnsand the movie withBatman v. Superman : Dawn of Justiceand very few have really answer the age - old interrogation … until now .

He can judge to take him on , but there are sealed here and now where even he would require to call for helper because he would never be able-bodied to complete the fight on his own .
