@lordofthenorth: I remember an issue of Nightwing where he was trying to stop Deathstroke, he lost the actual fights and he knew would lose, but he gave his all. Nightwing also got captured by the Joker in Death of the Family. He is pretty beatable. Batman isnt.
Lex, pre-Flashpoint, hadnt been a direct threat to Supes for a while. He moves other, more powerful beings around as his knights. Lex becoming president was a stroke of genius for example. He then sat back, untouchable, and turned Bats and Superman into outlaws. He also sent Doomsday to hunt Superman down. In the New 52, he hasnt really gone toe to toe yet either, and I hope he never does. He is a great schemer, but him suiting up and fighting Superman is totally stupid.
I dont have a problem with Batman sitting back, and giving some super beings a plan, and staying home while they accomplish the plan (like Lex when he is written best).
