10 Batman Plot-Holes Everyone Just Accepts

6. Superman Should Have Killed Him - Various

Batman Unbreaks Spine

It has been well-established that Superman could easily kill a regular, non-powered human. He's incredibly fast, has heat vision, cold breath - what am I saying? You know what powers Superman has; the point is - the character could kill an average human without coming close to breaking sweat.

This extends to non-powered superheroes also, as even if they happen to have the some Kryptonite (which is pretty rare on Earth anyway), Supes' speed would allow him to end his opponent before they could reach their supply of the mineral.

Thankfully, Superman is usually a good guy, so doesn't partake in murder. However, there have been many occasions in which the hero has been brought under the control of villains and been instructed to kill Batman. On most of these occasions, Bruce should've died, it's not like Clark would hold back when not in control.
