    I have been browsing through the forums and I think the Result of Batman (With prep) vs Superman is that superman would stomp Batman because He'd be killed before he even begin to use kryptonite sinec Supe is too fast for him.

    But what I don't understand is , can't Batman just investigate how Flash got his power and just do it on himself? also , isn't superman also vulnerable to magic? so can't batman find some sort of magic spells of some sort and encounter superman with them?

    Same for other Batman vs threads.

    so ya im just curious?

    Replicating Flash's power origin is risky, since it...you know, involves taking a bolt of lightning...
     
    And magic doesn't really seem to be Batman's thing. And before you or someone else says it (because someone always does), Superman isn't especially 'vulnerable' to magic per se, it's just that he's affected by it the same way as a normal person would be. Many people seem to think his 'magic vulnerability' = a damage multiplier to any magic attack or something.
     
    edit: And yeah, welcome to comicvine dude!

    With Prep and a plan, in a non-Random Encounter whilst In-Character, Batman can win.

    @joshmightbe: no the duplication of flash's power is just so he can equal superman in speed, because I heard a lot of people use the "Batman would be dead before he can use kryptonite " arguement.

    And this also bring up another question, if he can duplicate flash's power, can't he do the same for other power that would make him a physical match to supe(or at least enough to survive supe's attack).

    And since when does asking a gosh darn question make one a fanboy?

    First of all Barry gaining superspeed was an accident. It's highly unlikely that Batman would be able to replicate it and if he did, then he could just speedblitz Superman. There are plenty of threads on here that show why speedsters such as Wally West can defeat powerhouses such as Superman. I find it hard to wrap my head around sometimes but they're right. And secondly Batman is not adept in the art of sorcery nor would he wish to investigate it. He believes sorcery is simply a level of science that can't be understood as of yet. Besides using these methods would mean he wouldn't be beating Superman as Batman. He'd be beating him as a superpowered character.

    Batman has already simulated the Speed Force as shown with the Insider suit, he needn't to go around getting blasted by lightning to do so.

    @Morpheus_: What's the deal with the Insider suit? I never read any of the return tie ins so I have no idea of its capabilities and when people start talking about it I have no idea what they're going on about. Do you know what abilities it granted Batman?

    @Lvenger: Camouflage, invisibility, heat vision, GL energy mode, super speed, teleportation, electric manipulation, enhanced durability, and a few other exotic features he only used once or twice. The problem with the suit is that whenever one mode is utilized, it requires minutes to hours to recharge, so the resources are very much finite. If Batman put his mind to it to find a superior energy source, it could be a greater threat.

    @Lvenger: It's Batman's PIS producing suit. Basically it can do anything the justice league can do and for some strange reason can do it better than the people with years of experience with using the powers.

    I think Batman could beat Superman simply with Kryptonite, but I think the variable there is that Superman's amount of weakness while exposed to Kryptonite varies greatly depending on who is writing the Superman title.

    But in my opinion, Batman could stab a Kryptonite Dagger through his heart.

    Getting Flash's powers would be ridiculously dangerous. Magic is also ridiculously dangerous, and I don't see Bruce messing with that stuff unless he had to...thought it would be cool to see a Wizard Batman as an Elseworlds book.

    @joshmightbe: I'm not saying he is a God, but what I didn't understand is that if he's so smart why can't he get his hands on magic or advance technology(or gain super power) to beat superman. but then again my question has been answered. He wouldn't be Batman if he did all those stuff.

    And I honestly dont understand why some people just want to downplay everything that Batman does as PIS,by that logic lets dismiss Doom and Reed as PIS too.

    I have come across people on the battle forums who think Cap and Black Widow are more dangerous with prep than Batman,facepalm/.

    It's not impossible for Batman to do what the OP has suggested,he has done it already.All he needs is a superior energy source which he has btw(Leviathan strikes).

    Superman/Wonder Woman fans etc have become rather whiny,it's okay if Superman goes to the future,brings a plot device and uses it to sing Darkseid to death.But if Batman uses a little K-nite ITS PIS.

    @entropy_aegis: So he didn't build it to act as a one man Justice League or anything like that? If Batman did find a suitable power source for the suit as Morpheus said then Bat fans would have a lot to gloat about if Batman had prep for a fight. He could just use the Insider suit to take everyone out. I know Batman prepares for everything but acting as a man JLA seems too much even for Bruce.

    @hihiip201: I see it this way, on these boards powers are king,then feats. Comics come last for some reason.

    I hold comics in a bit more esteem. Remember though that in his own comic in the Hush series, Batman admitted that if Clark used his powers at full capacity Batman would lose. Batman wins because Clark holds back and deep down is a nice person. Batman isn't.

    This is not question of who would win. This is the possibility of victory. Batman has a possibility but it will take allot work and planning to defeat him but he has difficulty making sure he stays down without killing him, and even than it can only work once since he knows superman will find way to counter it the second time. This is one of the many reasons why he is overly paranoid.

    @Voodoom: The reason we don't always hold comics in esteem is because of PIS and the rule that the title character always wins. Power sets are different. Defined power sets helps to eliminate PIS and outlier showings (too strong or too weak) otherwise we have to accept NY cops > Thanos.

    Some writers are also awful at writing certain characters (ex. Geoff Jones and Batman)

    Batman would never beat Superman in a fight. However, I believe he is smart enough to set a trap for Superman and defeat him that way.
