This says it all

Success, success...Batman wins.

Under the circumstances of that non canon story, yes. But on a forum where both want to defeat the other, Batman loses.
The age-old question of who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman, was tackled in the concluding chapter of Frank Miller’s Batman epic, The Dark Knight Returns. At first thought, one would consider that the clear winner would be the Man of Steel, no question, but Miller proved otherwise. Batman’s resourcefulness and brilliance proved to be Superman’s undoing here, as the former friends squared off in Gotham City’s Crime Alley, where Bruce’s parents were murdered decades previous.
Even with Batman’s victory and subsequent “heart attack,” Bruce holds the ultimate final victory as it’s revealed that he faked his own death in order to better fight the injustices of the world from behind-the-scenes. It’s a fitting conclusion to a battle with years of resentment behind it, finally leaving the World’s Finest in a place of mutual respect.
Never underestimate the Batman.
Canon fight Superman easily dispossess of Batman Kryptonite
Canon scan Possessed Superman one shots Batman and KYLE!
Canon scan In a forum fight Superman could rape Batman and there is nothing Batman can do, Welcome to Robin's world Batman
Canon I don't even know if this counts as a fight
Is a good thing modern writers are more considerate with Batman because back in the pre-crisis era Batman was more often than not the damsel in distress on their comics together.
Originally posted by h1a8Batman is much more cunning and his mind is his greatest attribute unlike Superman. We will see in the movie as well that a human can take on Superman and show him up. Can't wait.
Since Batman is a great disadvantage in these fights then it only makes sense for only him to have prep (one sided). Now we have a good fight
