Superman may not be the most complex character, but he's got a quirky sense of humour, a reflective personality and the deepest conviction of all superheroes.

1) Silver Age Superman (Mr. Break Everything) Literally. Used speed to break reality, time, dimensions, the gates of heaven and infinity and a sneeze to destroy a solar system.

2) Golden Age Superman (Mr. Brutal Kidder) Cold guy that happily watched villains suffer brutal deaths. Plays with low level villains for giggles.

3) New-52 Superman (Mr. Nerfed Softy) Powered cut by half from his GA days, and no longer a cold b*stard.

4) Kal-Kent/Superman 1M (Generic, mid-tier powered form) Pretty soft really.

5) Superman Prime 1M (It.) Superman in his strongest form; nigh-omnipotent. Creates universes with ease and knows everything but despite this, never forgets his roots. Also, he's very shiny.

The one that kills Goku aka all of them.

Nah but seriously, that scene of Superman being thrown from orbit and floating up all pissed was ****ing badass.

New 52 is the current 'real' Superman.

I'm not even a Superman fan, but that's ridiculous. The first panel is from Batman Hush. You conveniently forgot to mention the fact that Batman broke his hand from repeatedly punching superman with that Kryptonite ring. He literally said if he hadn't snapped Superman out of that Mind Control, that he would have died.

In what possible way can you break time and reality? I mean, even in super universes you can't break that.

Unless you're Superman, who fixed reality using heat vision.

You've failed. You've only shown one panel of that first Batman scene (which I will show the ending in no.2) and the last two aren't canon; try again. Even in those fillers, Batman is portrayed as a puss because they always have Superman completely holding back and he always uses Kryptonite and gets help. It's like saying Sakura wins a fight against Madara because his chakra is almost exhausted and she's got Sasuke to support her.

Whether or not Batman is cooler or not is irrelevant; a square fight with Batman alone against Superman at full power would end with Batmeat pie. This isn't favouritism, it's realism. Batman is only human, where Superman is an amped up alien.

Yeah, Batman is one of the coolest in DC, but he's also one of the weakest. Whilst you've got aliens like Superman, Greek God powered warriors like Wonder Woman and scientific experiments like the Flash, Batty is a normal human. There's rarely ever a canon encounter between Batman and Superman; mainly because they're friends. Here are the ones that are canon though:

1) Batman was angry because Jason was killed by the Joker, but the latter has diplomatic immunity so Supes decides to try and calm him down.

2) Superman is having his mind limitedly controlled by Poison Ivy, he's doing his best to hold back so he doesn't hurt his friend and Batman has a kryptonite ring. (This is the one you didn't show the ending of) Batman admits that Superman is too fast for him, punching him too much would shatter all the bones in his hand, and that he can't stop him. So despite Superman holding back big time and Batman having kryptonite, he still couldn't win. Even when he broke out of the mind control, it was only thanks to Lois being in danger that he stopped, just before he nearly killed Batman.

3) Max Lord uses his telepathy to confuse Superman into thinking he's fighting Darkseid. Batman is incapacitated in one move, and is only saved by defensive systems and Wonder Woman respectively.

4) Batman is being controlled by Blackrock so Superman gently beats Batman up until he leaves his body.

Actually, batman has come out on top more often than superman and the times superman did win, it wasn't due to his own hand

Nope, he's never canonically beaten Superman. Only in non-canon material, like Batman Beyond and Dark Knight Returns, and maybe those ridiculous live action series and films.

In canon, they barely ever fight because they're close friends. See my above post for all canon encounters.

Have you seen the movie where batman was older and fought superman who worked for the U.S now?batman beat him, took his powers temporaily so he couldn't take him to the hospital because batman was already dying. After he took his powers batman got in his face and told him remember that I will always win

Not canon.

In canon, Batman has made these statements about Superman during the Poison Ivy situation.

"If Clark wanted to, he could use his superspeed and squish me into the cement."
"He can't be stopped."
"If I hit him again, I'll shatter every bone in my hand."
"Arctic breath. He's holding back as much as he can..."

Clark refused to kill him because canonically, they're friends. Ridiculous content like movies make them see like enemies when they're actually good friends who will always do their best to help each other.
