I might buy a Batman who lures Superman in -- with traps and Kryptonite tricks -- in a dark and shadowy way, but always evading direct contact.
It's bound to stretch reality, isn't it? Do you not think it's feasible that a really strong mask could be brittle enough to do such a thing?If Batman's iron mask really cracked off like that from Supes punch, so would his gelatin face.
Idk sometimes Kryptonite can basically make Clark human strength. Other times it’s like he’s just 10% of his power and still really strong.I might buy a Batman who lures Superman in -- with traps and Kryptonite tricks -- in a dark and shadowy way, but always evading direct contact.
He wanted Superman to feel like his traps weren't working. It lowered his defenses and leaves him more off guard. Superman can just see through walls anyway.I might buy a Batman who lures Superman in -- with traps and Kryptonite tricks -- in a dark and shadowy way, but always evading direct contact.

I dunnoI would if there were enough room inside the helmet, and a lot more padding, but then he'd have a big bobblehead helmet and the kiddies wouldn't like it.
Depends on the Superman. He's literally a godlike being in some continuities; I would even venture to say almost all of them in the modern era. Superman can hear him, smell him, see through almost everything (I remember he used to have issues with lead), feel him, he's infinitely faster ...I might buy a Batman who lures Superman in -- with traps and Kryptonite tricks -- in a dark and shadowy way, but always evading direct contact.
I think Batman could beat a Superman that was ready to fight but he’d need the element of surprise to not get fatally flicked in the head with a pebble from space.
If I'm remembering right he was originally very strong and nearly invulnerable to conventional weapons, could 'leap tall buildings in a single bound' but didn't really 'fly' ... could be wrong, been a long time.Backing off on Superman's powers would go a long way to making him more interesting.
Yeah I remember when Snyder was saying in 2013 that boy scout heroes aren't relevant anymore and everyone was all dude Cap: The First Avenger literally just proved you wrong, lol.I dunno, in some ways I'm almost describing Man Out of Time Captain America ... moral (even though as a soldier he does kill when deemed necessary), out-of-place, all-American ...
I'm with you there...for the most part. Bats can work in that super-powered world, the writers (comic writers included) just haven't taken him up to that point correctly yet. It's probably high-time Batman's suit (which can be a gadget within itself) be given an upgrade to assist him in this arena to a sleek, exo-skeleton level to give him added strength and durability without the clanky Armored style. Still wouldn't be able to go toe-to-toe with Doomsday but he shouldn't be anyways.Batman is pointless in a world where Superman exists. I thought it was hilarious how in Batman v Superman, Gotham and Metropolis are right next to each other.
Batman is better contained in his own little world. Start having him team up with Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash and that world falls apart. Batman isn’t the only one that suffers, his villains suffer too. The other super heroes would make quick, light work of his rogues gallery, but Batman against theirs? He looked ridiculous “fighting” Doomsday with his little kryptonite grenade launcher or the aliens in Justice League.
Same deal with Keaton Batman. Two movies you have Batman up against the likes of the Joker and Penguin, then suddenly he’s flying Flash and Supergirl around to fight off Zod and super powered Kryptonians. It just doesn’t work.
Batman in a super hero world immediately becomes useless. Sure you can have him be the strategic leader, but the audience wants him to be in the action, not back at the Batcave on his computer and headset.

Did you not read what I said initially?So... you want Iron Bats...?
Batman really wasn't devised to be a super-powered warrior. Strong, OK. Able to lift cars? No, that's Superman territory. Bats had brains.
