10 Characters Who Have Defeated Darkseid
8. Batman
One impressive thing about Batman is that he makes up for not having powers by studying his opponents' weaknesses to the Nth degree before engaging in combat.
By studying those weaknesses alone, Batman has proven to come out on top on many an occasion, no matter how big his enemies are. Darkseid is no different.
Perhaps the finest and most notable example of this came during Final Crisis, where the son of Thomas and Martha learned that Darkseid's biggest weakness was Radion. So when the two finally engaged in a face to face confrontation, Batman had prepared a bullet made of Radion with Darkseid's name on it.
He fired the Radion shot at Darkseid to defeat and mortally wound him. Darkseid would use his final breath to send Batman to the past using his Omega Beam, but it is hard to deny that The Dark Knight left an impression. In this moment at least, Batman had won the battle against Darkseid.
