10 INSANE Times Superman Beat Batman
1. Batman Vol 3 #42
Through her connection to the Green and the plants that everyone ingests, Poison Ivy controlled every person on the planet, except Batman and Catwoman. Thanks to some incredibly fast thinking, Bruce created an antidote for himself and Selina. But Ivy claimed that she doesn’t care, because she has the rest of the world and they aren’t a threat to her anymore. Despite this fact, Superman constantly hovered over Wayne Manor.
Bat and Cat left the mansion, went out for a burger, and then went to a house where both Flashes and Kid Flash arrived. They are quickly dispatched by Selina, and Bruce disabled Clark with a loud whistle. The person Batman was looking for wasn’t there, and we next see the couple hanging upside down from a skyscraper with Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern Jessica Cruz hovering nearby.
Batman mocked Ivy’s utopia as she talked through Superman, and he inquired about a boy who was deathly allergic to greens and thus couldn’t be controlled by her. He asked where he was hanging. Ivy got more and more agitated and she screamed for Batman to shut up. He said “No” and Superman hit him in the head so hard that he killed Batman. Ivy brought him back, claiming there is a person worth everything to Catwoman. Bruce deduced the only person who could tend to a person with massive brain trauma was Dr. Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, who was also mind-controlled by Ivy.
