Well, technically DCnU Batman should have some kind of experience because vague amounts of his continuity are in tact. Also, even DcNu Batman seems pretty knowledge about Superman's powers in general. Coupled that with Wraith saying Superman has a bunch of weird abilities he'll be able to tap into with more experience and he'd be a beast.

Can you explain Spider Martian
Unless he uses his telepathic powers to instil all with an intense bout of guilt and the desire to give up only to come back stronger cos that's kind off an ass backwards plan.
Or is he to use his shape-shifting powers to become a giant spider?

Spiderman confidence along with his ability to multitask. Also adding in the fact that he isn't a jobber like Martian Manhunter...if anything, he is far away from it and would use Martians abilities far better than he would (with practice of course).
Originally posted by chipguy_okayNot sure what you're driving at here. Superman himself has barely tapped into his own powerset and he's lived with his powerset the entire time. Why would Batman be able to do moreso when vast swaths of continuity have been eliminated completely? Especially when at least one adventure that actually had them swap bodies is definitely retconned out?

Originally posted by CogitoBatman's good, but unless you have actual examples of him acclimating to superpowers without effort or better than the actual owners of said superpowers (feats that characters like Doom and Cap have) -- then there is absolutely no reason to think he'd be a better Superman than Superman himself.
They'd all be beasts, but I would point out that Batman would be the fastest to acclimate to Superman's powers and would use them to their fullest potential, as opposed to being half-retarded like Superman.

For the most part I'm guessing about Batman, but I'm pretty sure it's a reasonable enough assumption.
And as I said, they'd all be beasts, but Superman's powers are far more similar in nature (not scope) to Batman's than Sentry to Cap. Add Batman's vast experience with Superman's more exotic uses of his powers, and I really don't think there's much of a learning curve at all.
If anything, Batman hinders Superman powers during that story line since he stayed far away from the sun. He stayed in the night the entire time to the point that people like Nightwing was able to damage him with a Billy club. Lets pretend like he isn't doing that in this fight just to make things interesting.

Did you not read what I said. I said he isn't operating at those levels to even the playing field. Why would I weaken him in a battle of this scope? Let me break this down a little but better for you. Batman is "staying in the sun in this battle"...he isn't running away from it". Is that better ABHI"?
