DCNU Superman vs Pre Crisis Karate Kid

If I remember correctly, Karate Kid is like 3 levels above Batman according to their own skill-classification.

We don't really know what that means, though.

A black belt is only two classications above green belt in some karate styles, but that could mean a tremendous skill difference (As always, depends on the person and how good the school is..)

Who do you think wins?

With hand-to-hand and speed equalized stips, this is about the closest thing to a 50/50 KMC match that I can think of.

Superman is good fighter, but he's not one to judge people of Bats'/KK's skill level no matter who he favors.
Thats our job.

I'm talking without the stips.

Match heavily favors DCnU Superman without the stips, though Karate Kid has a puncher's chance because DCnU lacks the invulnerabity of the Bronze Age Kryptonians, let alone the Silver Age ones.

You are right it could mean a tremendous amount of difference between just a few levels. On the other hand given how I have seen some handle KK on here it's not hard to believe someone might legitimately believe he isn't vastly above a character like Batman.
