Batman win Superman

For decades, comic book readers have debated which fan-favorite superheroes would come out on top – if they were to face-off. “Who would win in a fight between [insert superhero] versus [insert superhero]?” has provided fans countless hours of friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) dialogue – as readers ponder which hero (or villain) is at the top of the comic book food chain. Sometimes the match-ups cross publisher lines (Who would win in a fight between Green Arrow and Hawkeye?), other times they remain in-house – as is the case with the upcoming superhero crossover film Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

As we’ve discussed in numerous Batman V Superman articles, and on the Screen Rant Underground podcast, the initial match-up between the two icons isn’t going to be quite as straightforward as certain casual moviegoers might think. Superman may possess God-like powers but we fully expect Ben Affleck’s older Dark Knight to be a tech-savvy tactician – a seasoned crime fighter who will challenge the Man of Steel in unexpected ways.

Recently, we’ve been provided hints at what to expect from Batman V Superman in the form of set photos and video – both revealing interesting new tidbits (and easter eggs) for fans to mull-over. Nevertheless, with eighteen full months before release, concrete details remain scarce – and the cast has been equally tight-lipped. After the controversy surrounding his initial casting, Affleck has been very careful with any Dawn of Justice remarks – sticking to mostly general statements about his version of the character. That is, until he divulged sensitive details to comedian Jon Stewart – with disastrous results.

In actuality, the interview offers zero new information on Batman V Superman but the clip provides an opportunity to see Affleck having some fun with the attention, responding to Stewart’s belief that Bruce Wayne stands little chance of beating Kal-El.
