Brain Games: Clark vs Bruce
1st round - 2min (max) game of speed chess
2nd round - freestyle verse creation (panel of judges consists of: Dr Doom, Dr. Dre, Grandmaster Flash and The Flash).
3rd round - speed-Sudoku ... 7 games, first to complete all 7 wins
4th round - take over the world via intellectual brilliance
who wins overall, each round and why?

1. Superman (his mind can calculate like a computer...and chess is in the end simply algorithims)
2. batman - more creative
3. Superman - same reason as 1
4. batman - better strategist, tactician, and manipulator
so all in all, Superman's mind works much faster than Batman's, but Batman is more cunning

I agree. The lightspeed Super-Brain isn't used much, but it is there.

Chess requires much more than churning through algorithms, grandmasters have beaten plenty of super-computers (which, of course, process info faster than we consciously can).
feints, tricks, deception ... these can be played against a computer far more easily than against a human being.
anyway, speed chess might be somewhat troublesome for Batman but given that he's playing against a person he knows inside out, I think he should win.
Superman would win the Sudoku, that much I agree with.

1 - Supes...especially since Infinite Crisis brought back his super intelligence.
2 - I'd give this to Bruce...he's more creative.
3 - Supes. Just processes info so much faster.
4 - Supes - He's already done so. 🙂
