And of course, was anything going to be #1 other than the long-awaited standoff between Batman and Superman? Though the fight doesn't kick off until the beginning of the third act and only lasts around 8 minutes, it's pure fanboy wish fulfillment all the way. Superman shows up to try and explain to Bruce that they're being manipulated into a fight, but Batman has already set a number of Kryptonite-infused traps, enraging Superman to the point that he takes the bait. Cue Superman smashing an armoured Batman through buildings, Batman using a Kryptonite grenade launcher to de-power the Man of Steel, and then beating the snot out of his rival, hilariously smashing a kitchen sink over his head and hurling him down a flight of stairs. The fight concludes with Batman swinging Superman into a series of pillars and grabbing the Kryptonite spear to finish the job, cutting his face before Superman is able to utter the name "Martha", bringing the fight to a fairly clumsy conclusion. Still, it was ridiculously entertaining to see the pair face off...even if it should have been longer and the overall motivations a ton more convincing.
