Both fight in character...
Does Frank Millers Batman prevail?
Wait, is this the Batman who, after all that he knows about Superman, decided to use a Batarmor and Kryptonite to "beat" Superman?
That Batman gets curbed IMO.

I gotta point out that Batmans goal wasnt to crush Superman as efficiently as possible...
He wanted it to appear that he died fighting Superman, but also wanted to give Superman a good buttkicking as well...
I'd say he did a masterful job of pulling off both at the same time...

Agree.
It's just that I don't see how his tech in that specific run would be effective against the Surfer who won't engage him in h2h, won't be fooled by him faking his death and can just downright heal him if necessary...
Again, tech "feats" would be nice.

Well he created his own kryptonite and was even able to get the dose right so that it crippled Clark instead of killing him...I think thats a good feat of engineering even though its not something mechanical...
Surfer doesn't have many weaknesses he can exploit tho. And Surfer's senses (at their best) are pretty hard to fool.
How exactly is he going to beat the Surfer?
Bear in mind for him to "win" here, he has to:
-beat surfer in a fight.
-do it in view of everyone and have Surfer aware so that he can "learn his lesson" (meaning an ambush won't accomplish what he set out to do).
-pretend to die and fool Surfer's senses.
I don't really see him pulling it off with these set parameters....

Millers Batman has the FM power and Miller hates Superheroes, his Batman would stomp SS who would out himself being a "gay" transgender who gets his Cosmic powers from Glactus planetary sperm via oral transmission.
What do you have against gays and transgenders? Homophobe!

I concede that with their long history and Bats' knowledge of Supes' weaknesses he had a great advantage in implementing his plan, but a decade of setting up the battle field, the weaponry, the circumstances of the encounter...its like a Sun Sun Tzu wet dream.
Those are my opinions. You can dismiss them, but they're as valid as anything else thats been put out. The poll shows my opinion (for once) isnt the minority either.

You might be right...
Batman definitely has his work cut out for him as this is more difficult than against Superman...
I just think this makes for interesting conversation...

You arbitrarily saying "he wont" dont make your statements facts.I concede that with their long history and Bats' knowledge of Supes' weaknesses he had a great advantage in implementing his plan, but a decade of setting up the battle field, the weaponry, the circumstances of the encounter...its like a Sun Sun Tzu wet dream.
