Obviously it was critically acclaimed and did Batman good, but what did it actually do for Superman? Did it harm Superman that much? Or did it just do nothing? Was the effect exaggerated? Superman had two very successful movies, one in 1978 and the other in 1980.
Superman III was less than stellar, IMO that did not do justice to Superman. Had that film been successful as the first two, I do not feel there would have been the COIE event (the movies were IMO, a deciding factor, no matter how much DC might not admit it).
I don't even think Batman beat Superman in DKR, he basically got his suit destroyed and landed a few good hits; that was it, without Oliver he would have lost. I just don't think the dialogue really reflected that, at all:
