For starters, The Dark Night Returns is bullshit, if Superman can move betweem 10,000-1,000,000 times faster than a baseline human, then he would have to be able to think that much faster than a baseline human. Forget how smart Batman is, it's nothing compared to someone who has somewhere between 10,000 and 1,000,000 times the subjective time you have to think about something. Remember the scene in Spiderman when Peter is fighting Flash Thompson in the hall and has time to relax and obviously consider the weirdness of it all during the time that Flash has to throw one punch. Now take that and multiply it by 1,000 or so and you get some fraction of how much faster Superman is. Holy crap! bullets are like still life to him! Has anybody seen Smallville? Clark can move freakishly fast in that show, and he's not remotely as powerful as full-grown Superman. Speed alone kills Batman, not to mention an inhuman IQ, super-strength (Supes once fought the ENTIRE JLA including Batman in the comics, and even though he was restraining himself, gave them a wicked beating.) Well, I could go on, but basically anybody who depends on The Dark Night Returns as their source for the Superman/Batman fight is nothing more than a deluded Batman sycophant. So there! And Rambo can beat Rocky any day too! Hello, Rambo's got a gun ya dork!
