Ranking All Batman Vs. Superman Fights In Animation
7. The Batman/Superman Movie: World's Finest
This fight was quick but made an impression as one of the better meetings between The World’s Finest. Batman was on one of his missions, and The Man of Steel walked in, expecting his strength to keep The Bat in line. Then he got shocked when Batman tossed him across the room, showing that Batman can lift and move stronger opponents.
The humbled Man of Steel exercised his strength by pinning Batman to a wall. Superman then pressed on with his advantage by using his X-ray vision to take a peak in the cowl and threatened Bruce Wayne not to operate in his town. Bruce showed how prepared he was by taking out a slither of Kryptonite to repel the Last Son of Krypton and then disappearing.
Later that night, when Clark had already removed his suit and was about to get ready for bed, he discovered a small tracking device on his cape. When he used his super sight to see in the distance, he discovered Batman looking through his apartment with binoculars. Batman waves and then leaves.
The moment showed the two as equals—both in competence, skill, and intelligence. Mutual respect will come later, but they recognize each other’s skills and know that the other will be a formidable opponent. It was quick and to the point, but it was effective.
