Its a fact that Batffleck and Supervill will slug it out in the movie. But this is not new for the World's Finest! These two love birds have been throwing jabs at each other in the comicbooks ever since time and immemorial. Yes, you also get the occasional haymakers, but at the end of the day neither can pull the trigger and kill the other.
Their team-ups are considered to be extraordinary but deep down, their principles are conflicting. This strife between the Day and Night is the usual cause of their scuffle. Over the years, there are tons of epic fights between the two. Here's another countdown for you, Bat-fanatics! The greatest gladiator match in the history of comicbooks!
8. Superman: Red Son
This is an elseworld story where a Russian Batman trapped a Soviet-influenced Superman in a room filled with solar lamps which is identical to the radiation of Krypton's Red Sun. Superman was baffled. He thought Batman grew stronger. He didn't know that the radiation was making him weak. Then Boom-Pow-Biff! He kicked him right in his balls!
7. Justice League: Origins (new 52)
Years from now, people are going to talk about this encounter. Depends on how the movie is going to pull it off (since Snyder is very vocal that he took some fight scenes from this book), this can probably be one of those comicbooks that will appreciate in value. The fight between the two is a little one-sided. Batman tried every trick under his sleeve, but it doesn't seem to affect Superman.
6. Batman: Endgame
This isn't really a Batman vs Superman match up per se but this is a very brutal match between The Justice Buster and the Joker-infected Superman. Snyder and Capullo payed a lot of homages in this fight scene--from Red Son, to Luthor, to The Dark Knight Rises. This is one of those fights that people will remember forever.
5. Batman: Hush
This is probably the most iconic Batman vs Superman battle in the history of comicbooks. Every fan knows this panel. Its one of those "I always have a plan" moments for Batman. Seeing that Superman is under Ivy's spell, Bats lured him in a place where he set up to defeat Superman.
4. Luthor: Man of Steel
One of the reasons why Batman is still alive is because Superman lets him. Com'on lets be true here, guys. Superman can easily break Batman into pieces. It is respect for Batman and his humanity which prevents him from doing so. But just in case you're wondering how Batman will fair in a fight against a no holds barred match against Superman, this is the book for you!
3. Superman: Sacrifice (Countdown to Infinite Crisis)
Ow man, this will be brutal for Batman fans. I can't believe I'm actually putting this here. More so at #3! But yeah, impartiality calls for it. Superman's sanity has been questioned by Lois Lane and the League. In his vision, he sees Darkseid threatening Lois. At this instant, he brutally beat "Darkseid". Unfortunately, Superman's vision of "Darkseid" is actually Batman. To make matters worse, this was one of those rare moments where Batman was caught off guard in his Batcave.
2. The Dark Knight Strikes Again
You think the last one was bad? Don't worry. The Dark Knight got his revenge in TDKSA. Somehow, Batman was able to lure Superman into the Batcave. And in that encounter, Batman released a barrage of tricks against the Man of Steel. Again, as a Batman fan, this is one of those moments where you'll feel bad for the Big Blue. And that line at the end is savage: "I'm done talking, get out of my cave."
1. The Dark Knight Returns
No words are needed here. Let me just quote a couple of lines from the book.
"I want you to remember, Clark... in all the years to come... in your most private moments... I want you to remember... my hand... at your throat... I want you to remember... the one man who beat you."
