10 Reasons Superman Would Definitely Beat Up Batman

8. Technology Is Unreliable

Another oft-exploited aspect of this is Batman€™s technology. Sure, he may not have Superman€™s vast arsenal of superpowers, but he does possess the resources and the technology to level the playing field. The Dark Knight Returns, often held up as Exhibit A of why Batman would beat Superman, showed Batman using a powered exo-skeleton that enhanced his strength to Superman€™s levels. So even in a direct fight, Batman could find a way to take Superman on in his own game, right? Right? Not necessarily. For starters, technology has its limits. It needs a power source, and it would have to be a power source that can last as long as Superman€™s own power source. What€™s Superman€™s source of power again? Oh yeah€the sun. As long as that thing is up there, Superman will be able to keep on going. Even if Batman could somehow black out the sun, he€™d still have the vast reserves of solar energy Superman has soaked up over the years. Eventually, Superman would find a weakness in technology. No matter how advanced technology is, it€™s still made up of smaller components that can fail and with Superman€™s x-ray vision, telescopic vision, super hearing, superhuman thinking, and heat vision, he could find and exploit a weakness in any sort of Bat-armor. Even if that weakness is just pummeling it at superhuman speed until it€™s pushed to its breaking point.
