I think Superman would beat Batman in a fight every time. CMV.

I know comics, and am well informed on both. 

When taken straight up, Batman will always lose. Regardless of planning or gadgets or whatever, he's fighting SUPERMAN. 

Red Son, DKR, and Hush (especially) are extenuating circumstances for the following reasons

Red Son was a version of Superman that instantly lost his power under a red sun. Not the way it normally works. 

DKR had Superman hit by a nuclear weapon point blank, which nearly killed him on it's own and blocked out the sun, and he still had the fight won before the assist from Green Arrow.

And in Hush Batman just plain didn't win. He survived long enough to almost be greased with a car before his desperate gamble of throwing Lois Lane off a building paid off.

There's a joke:

>"Who would win in a fight - Batman or Superman?"

>"Well, Batman, if he had kryptonite."

>"And if he didn't have kryptonite?"

>"Superman then."

>"Wrong, still Batman. He would use the kryptonite."

>"But you said he didn't have kryptonite..."

>"Batman *always* has kryptonite."

If you're going to pit Batman vs Superman, you can't limit the discussion to what they *can* do. It's much more a question of what they *would* do. Sure, it's valid to say that Batman would loose if he didn't have time to prepare, but that's just it - Batman is *always* prepared. He's a paranoid lunatic with near unlimited resources. Superman is, on the other hand, fairly predictable, or, at the very least, consistent. He wouldn't suckerpunch Bats out of nowhere. He would either have to have lost his mind, or Bats would have had to do something to piss him off, and in both cases, Batman would see that coming and get ready. Preparation is the man's true superpower.
