Curiousity question, how many of you are knowledgable fo the Alter-X that was created for Alex Summers/Havoc called Mutant X... Not the shitty TV show, but the series that ran for 32 issues and three annuals. I bought the entire set for $30 for shits and giggles. (;
In another attempt to spend money needlessly, what comics does Batman appear beating the crap out of Supes in? For whoever mention the World's Finest Cartoon Movie, I wouldn't say Supes got beat, although I did point out to my roommate, who favors the Red and Blue Boy over the Dark Knight, that Batman went straight at Superman with his attack, but Paperboy had to sneak in a shot from behind to nail Bats.
Our favorite part, which proved to us Superman's stupidity and Batman's far superior intellect, one of the many reasons why Batman would beat him, was when Superman was standing in front of a Lead Wall outside of Lex Luthor's base. I'll paraphrase.
BATMAN: What are you doing?
SUPERMAN: It's made out of lead... I can't see through it.
BATMAN: So? Knock it down.
SUPERMAN: Oh, yeah! Forgot about that!
Much obliged for all replies, aid, help, and cashier checks sent to my Swiss Bank Account.

Actually, I watch that show sometimes. Yes, I have all the comics, I collected them as they came out. I'm very familiar with it. It was an alternate-X I guess because it was an alternate reality, but I never think of it that way because Alex Summers was the Alex from the regular continuity.

which BTW if you didn't know he is back now! Except he's still not concious. And Angel has his regular pigment again. I'm glad.

Apparently he does beat him up in DK2, but not sure, havent read it yet.
Indeed he does.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
In the second issue (it's a three part series) Superman gets pissed at Batman and actually busts in to the Bat cave. Bruce isn't an idiot and he knew that Supes was coming. The result: Supes gets the living crap beaten out of him yet again. I remember Bruce saying something cool after beating him, but I can't remember what he said.
End of Spoiler
Regarding the World's Finest movie, another example of Batman being smartest than Supes' dumb@$$ was when they were in the aircraft (I don't remember if it was a plane or a zeppelin) and Superman and Batman were in pursuit of the Joker. Joker drops a bunch of marbles on the floor an Supes says something like "You've gotta be kidding me!" Batman warns him to expect the unexpected from the Joker. Supes steps out among the marbles anyway, and SURPRISE! They're explosives! You see, Batman knows, Supes doesn't.
As I've said before, there is ONE other instance I can think of where Bats beat Supes, but I still can't remember it. I promise that as soon as I can remember I'll post it.
I had no idea that Mutant X came to an end. I use to like Havok, but after the Age of Apocalypse, there just doesn't seem to be anything to be done with him. The same thing happened to Bishop. After the whole Onslaught ordeal, Bishop really doesn't have a purpose anymore.

And yes, Supes is a big hulking moron. How the heck he got a job as a reporter is anybody's guess. He's only good at making news.
I guess in his twisted, alien mind thtat's a great plan. See, he is a reporter. He gets paid to write news. So...
Instead of doing tabloid stories or boring political articles he just beats up the bad guy and sells the story. And since it's Superman news, I guess he gets paid well.

It occurs to me that an awful lot of trouble in Gotham City could have been averted a long time ago if Batman had just ripped the Joker's nipples off.
A man with the nipples ripped off him does not make the same mistakes twice.
I mean crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.
"I'm Batman" isn't cutting it in the striking-fear-into-their-hearts stakes. But "I'm Batman -- and I'm here for your nipples" is an entirely different proposition.

That's funny, Omar. LOL. BTW, there seems to be a lot of anti-Supes sentiment here lately. Personally, I like Batman and Superman, I know if Bats has Kryptonite yeah, he can defeat Supes, and I believe Bruce is very intelligent, but I also feel there are situations where Supes could beat Batman too. I don't think Superman is really dumb either, as everyone is making him out to be. Just because a particular writer writes Superman a certain way doesn't make him dumb, though I agree that I think Bruce is more intelligent, but that doesn't make Superman stupid.

I agree. I guess it's just difficult to do a Superman history, given the nature of the character. I mean, what hasn't he done in,say, 60 years?
It really takes a good writer to use him right, I belive. Batman is easier, since he can be used in many diferent kinds of stories, like, as a detective or a superhero, or a urban legend, etc

So could anyone enlighten me to an example? Use a spoiler if you could.. I don't mind, it's not ruining anything for me (seeing as how I am asking for it).
In DK2, Batman wears huge gloves...made of kryptonite. With these gloves he just manhandles him.
In DK1, Bats used a lot of stuff. First, Green Arrow hit Supes with a Kryponite arrow, then Batman did everything from using acid to using Gotham's entire supply of electricity on him.
And just to give those who doubts Batman's ability to defeat those who are "not mortal", you should see a JLA story that was called "Tower of Babel." Batman sort of indirectly takes on (and defeats) the entire JLA! Ok, the thing is, it was Ras Al Ghul using Batman's plans, but they were Batman's plans nonetheless. You see, it turns out that Bats, being the genius that he is, had a bunch of plans for defeating the members of the JLA in case they went rogue. Ras got a hold of his plans and put them to good use. I'll explain more when I get back, cuz right now I'm late to class...
