In a fair fight, who wins - Batman or Superman - begs the question: what exectly is a fair fight?

I mean, come on, Superman is not even human, what with his being from Kryptonite and all. Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, X-Ray vision, essentially indesrtuctible. Unless there happens to be a little Kryptonite around outside of a lead shield.

I have to go back the the history of Aliens invading the Earth in 50's Science Fiction to solve this one, because basically, Superman is an alien invader. If he hadn't forgone the wealth obtianable had he joined forces with Lex Luther and fought for "Truth, Justice and the American Way," 50's Sci-Fi rules say some fatal flaw would have been found in him and humanity would have prevailed.

Come to think of it, the 50's version of "the American Way" is under so much attack now that his fighting for it may amount to a crime in the current politcally-correct world.

In other words, Superman is now a threat which must be abolished. Enter Batman, the savior of humanity from a deranged alien invader trying to impose archaic ideals upon us. And Bruce Wayne is smart with unlimited financial resources, which we all know makes him the epitome of humanity.

So, even if he couldn't buy enough Kryptonite to do in the Man of Steel, he would find some fatal flaw in Superman's make-up, such as allegic reactions to piles of money, lear jets, Bentleys, mansions and cruise-ship vacations. Or perhaps, the frequencies used by Blackberrys, I-Pods and Cell Phones would prove fatal to him. Or, being in the room with Gordon Gecko.

So, in the end, Batman, as the representative of modern humanity, against Superman, a hold-back of 50's mores, whips the Man of Steel.
