    I know this is an old topic but but going to weight in anyway. While Batman might be able to replicate Barry's powers(Why not? Barry did it himself in flashpoint.) and he might be able to get Zatanna to teach him a few spells, it wouldn't really be Batman anymore. The way Batman needs to win is through his intelligence.

    It was on the front page of the forum. I'd say it had already been revived.

    @hihiip201:

    Batman shouldnt never get powers, the essence of Batman is he is normal guy with normal gadgets fightning crime and evem be able to compete with others heroes and superheroes. Batman´s mind follows logic and even fightning agaisnt magical threaths, he rellies on logic and Magic users like Zatanna. Even if Batman got any kind powers, he would need to control them and that would take years, even with Speed Force, the only Flash that could fully control Speed Force was Bary Allen. Plus dont Forget that Superman is very smart hero and personal friend of Batman, he knows how to conterattack his own weakness and knows Batman´s weakness.

    The only way I see Batman being able to win would be manufacturing se kind of kryptonite gun that he can shoot at superman, that has lock on capabilities and is fired automatically when superman is anywhere near earth. Otherwise superman can just speed blitz him and instantly kill him. It's a good thing they're friends lol

    With the logic being shown here almost any super hero mentioned in threads "with prep" can duplicate most people's powers. This is obserd it alike saying who wins between Black Cat and Luke Cage, everyone knows Luke would win but with prep Black cat could have the same experiment done to her and learn the way of the iron fist and drink a similar formula to the Sentry.

    It's not what they could do, it's what they would do is what you should be thinking.

    I can't imagine Batman admitting that he's not up for the job and trying to get super powers.

    Well some people think that Batman is the real person and not Bruce. I was talking about human side of Batman being his weakness, the little boy that lost his parents, the man that decide to defeat any crime and clean his city.

    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?

    http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/8/85839/1902696-flashpoint2e_flash_burned_dont_try_this_at_home.jpg
    I think I know how that would turn out.

    Can you imagine Batman fighting Superman with magic spells? He'd just request magic weapons from WW or get some help from Captain Marvel if he wants to use magic. He doesn't go to Hogwarts, lol.

    With some Kryptonite and a magic sword Batman could have a chance against a weakened Superman.

    After all magic weapons can cut him.

    @farkam: I still dont think so because he has weaknesses and gods don't. Gods also have some type of supernatural control over things, for example, how Thor can control the earth and its weather, or how Greek gods had control over their realm. That is godly power. Superman is just a superhuman, he doesnt have godly powers like that. He can really just be thought of as an advanced human, as he doesnt have godlike powers or control. He doesnt have to power to create life and cant control anything outside of what he can with his strength. Also, no one calls on him to give them strength, like Wonder Woman does to Hera, because he cant give anyone any powers, and he isnt a god. And as such, he is beatable and batman can do it

    Superman is stronger than many so called "gods", as seen by his thrashing of Apollo recently.....can Batman beat him? Yes he can. Luthor has done it before and he isn't super-powered either. However, when you think about it It does stretch belief. I mean supes can see through almost anything, hear things miles off, move faster than a bullet and is invulnerable to anything other than kryptonite, red son radiation or magic...so if he keeps his wits about him he should be able to take out Batman before bats has blinked!

    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.

    This, unless the trap involves heavy use of Red Solar Radiation, which would be very *cough* cinematic (listening Warner Bros?).

    I think it's possible for Batman to beat Superman, with prep. Here are some ideas on how:

    • The obvious choice of object to use against Superman is Kryptonite. However, instead of using the green type, why not use a different version like gold, blue (I heard, it's said to be the most dangerous type of Kryptonite in New 52) or X-Kryptonite.
    • Red solar radiation is another way that is often used to fight Superman.
    • Although it would probably take Batman years to learn how to use magic, he has a few friends in the mystical community who could lend him some supernatural weaponry.
    • I'm not sure if this is possible, but Batman could play a high-frequency noise that only super powered ears can hear. It could act like a mosquito alarm and distract, or hurt, Superman.
    • Instead of creating new gadgets to beat the Man of Steel, Batman could steal some technology, as he is a master of stealth. I'm sure Lex Luthor has some nifty machines for defeating Superman, so why go to all the trouble of creating them yourself?
    • Teleporting or using a boom tube to transport Superman to another dimension or a planet where there is no yellow sun is another possibility. However, Batman would have to lore Superman into the teleporter which could be tricky.
    • Batman could use Superman's enemies against him. I'm sure neither would mind teaming up if it was essential for success and, although some villains like Lex would be too narcissistic to work well with the Dark Knight, baddies like Parasite or Metallo could be manipulated into helping out Batman and would add a little extra brawn to work with the Caped Crusader's brain.
    • Instead of trying to beat Superman just by damaging his body, Batman could defeat the Man of Steels' mind. From what I can see, Superman is quite an emotional character and might be distracted while fighting his long-time friend. However, if Batman believes his opponent is doing something wrong then this isn't a problem and he even threw a batterang at Jason Todd's neck because the former Robin threatened to kill the Joker. This tactic would have to be used with something else, but it could increase Batman's likelihood of success.
    • The Insider Suit could be used, with another tactic, to achieve success.

    Superman's speed blitzing could be a problem. However, I think Superman has too much sentimental value for Batman to do that. As well as this, I don't think Batman would be the one to engage in the fight so Superman would have to spend time looking for Batman as he's not going to be out in the open. The Insider Suit could also be a help due to it's Speed Force capabilities. Another point, I'm not sure how fast Superman can accelerate, which could be a factor.

    As a Batman fan, I prefer it when Batman wins. However, even I admit Superman would be the probable winner more often than not.

    it all depends on who the writer wants to win. comics make absolutely no sense if you think about it. batman can get his arse kicked by Mr.freeze, but because he has this power called popularity he can somehow take on people who are way above his usual conflicts.

    Batman would lose but, if someone was to take him down it would be him. That being said, it's pretty stupid thinking a human can stand against a guy whos punches can rock the planet...and then some.

    @conradoaccorsi: I agree that popularity effects all popular characters. I just used batman because he's the one who gets it the most. but I disagree that realism should stay out of comics. without realism comics would have even more continuity errors, PIS moments, and idiotic feats that hurt the overall quality of a story. if we got rid of realism we might as well bring back all those stupid silver age comics that make no sense. I hate the fact that based on popularity alone characters like bats and superman constantly have to go hthrough all these continuity errors and PIS moments just for some fan service.

    @eternal19: Sorry but thats BS what is important is the character and their motovations and long as they are strong you can make stories for eternity and they wouldnt get stale the simple proof is that batman is 75 years old and still writers are coming up with fresh and new ideas for him not to mention that the popularity of his character is what drove the DCU to become a darker place and the heros characterzation to become darker so as long as people still desire dark mature stories Batman isnt going any where and he certainly isnt going to fall
