Quote:How does one conduct guerilla warfare against someone who can hear you coming from half a city away and who can move at the speed of light? Batman has one shot *maximum* to make good with the Kryptonite, or magic, or whatever else he's got. Anything longer than a few seconds in combat with Superman, and you'd have a Superman's-Fist-sized hole in your chest. You can't wear him down, or tire him out, or drain his resources. He's Superman.

Yes, but who said it has to be Batman himself doing direct combat, even in a guerilla warfare style combat? Even if there was, I doubt Bats would follow that. Supes can be an uber soldier. But Bats is a General. Off the top of my head, there's one other alien that can probably stand toe to toe at the very least with big blue. Jonn Jonzz.
Without this becoming a circular argument, yes that would mean it no longer means Bat vs Cape. It's now Martian vs Kryptonian. But who said Batman ever liked to play fair?
Even Superman has to recharge sometime, he's solar powered remember. So I wouldn't entirely agree that he can't be worn out, or drain his resources. It might take a while yes. But how long can Clark keep up with the vigilance bordering on paranoia? Bats pretty much had practiced that kind of mindset ever since he was 8-10.
So what if Supes can hear people talk from a mile away. Can he read sign language in a lead lined batcave bunker?
