There have been a few comic book series covering this kind of event, usually linked in with Red Kryptonite in some form.
Batman kicks evil Superman's arse Yet one more reason why Batman is one of my favourite superheros. Alongside Iron Man he is the only superhero without powers, and Iron Man cheats outrageously anyway with his suit of armor making him nearly invulnerable.

Powers are cool though
Ah yes red kryptonite - I got quite into Smallville (until I was forced to leave the country for work) and they featured that a few times. Every superhero seems to have a bit of a weakness... I guess that's what makes them "human".

I sat and watched Spiderman 2 last night. I've only watched it once before and that was because I'd lost the UMD for my PSP.

If you want a "human" superhero I don't think it gets any better than Spider-Man, certainly in the comics. He was the first real superhero to have a proper life outside of fighting crime and it was was made him so popular. His problems have changed over the years but they've not gotten any easier for him

Gotten?! Are you american dude?! (just kidding matey! )
Yeah I did like Superman from that point of view - and the fact he was just so inconspicuous. The problem with Superman is that he has just too much moral code it gets frustrating after a while. Spiderman somehow gets away with it. I really used to love all these Marvel comics.

I've not read the series Garp's on about, but I know Superman gave batman a kryptonite ring in case he went bad. If you read the graphic novel called "Tower of Babel" you see that Batman had plans to take out the entire Justice League of America, and how well those plans work.

Skill, pure and utter skill.
That and Kryptonite I love batman as a character. He's just an ordinary human being, beset by his personal demons, fighting to clean up the streets of the city he loves. He's trained himself up to the peak of physical and mental condition, and in multiple different fighting disciplines to try to ensure there isn't a situation he can't handle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman Quote:
