Pre-FLASHPOINT, Superman generally has just had better tech. He's shown he can actually improve on Batman's technology. He has a significant advantage because he can do his prep at super speed, and his senses should give him insight to what Bruce is doing. He also has feats like simultaneously outsmarting Luthor, Brainiac and Brainiac-13 at once, and his plan to stop B13/Warworld made Imperiex Prime call him a "clever insect." And really, if they're BOTH aware they're prepping for a fight, what can Batman do? Kryptonite, magick(if he's desperate), red solar energy. What can Superman do? Prep counters, suits to deal with it, memorize a lot of spells at super speed to learn counters, ect. Really, on paper it should be a stomp, and I can't think of too much when it comes to Batman having prep on the level people argue outside alternate continuities or if he gets access to like New God tech.

Yes, before the FLASHPOINT reboot. And really, I'm just arguing on how I see things in theory, because I really can't think of a single ****ing equivalent example from comics. 72 hours and both are prepping, and by "prep war" I'm assuming both know they're prepping.

By now, I hope you feel a small measure of the fear that Superman would feel. Second-guessing, trying to find every loophole, consider every tactic I might be thinking of employing.
What if you tried this? But I may already have thought of it, and prepped accordingly.
What if I'm considering *****? I wouldn't go there, would I? Who knows?
Lets say Batman can come up with 10,000 ways to prepare for Superman but with his speed and the ability to think at Superspeed he could come up with 10,001 ways to counter Batman's prep and still have 10,000 more ways of his own to beat Batman. Batman is purely of matched imo.
I don't know I don't have genius level intellect or Superman abilities. He creates 100s of Clones have them all Sun-dip for 10 hours, each then with the power upgrade create 1,000s of clones and have them sun-dip for 10 hours and force Flash to give him the speed force and have a few more hours to create a Superman/Doomsday clones all of his abilities plus DD ability to come back immune to the previous way of dying.
