Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice teaser trailer was leaked on April 16, and fans have been wondering how in the name of Zeus does Batman think he can beat Superman, the most powerful man on Earth.
Such a question is tough to answer because chances are, Batman may not be about to defeat Superman. He may have no choice to fight because rumors claim the Man of Steel is the instigator here due to words than came from Lex Luthor. On the other hand, Batman might just want to test the mantle of this "false god."
Batman is human, he's always been and forever will be. He doesn't have a super ring that gives him limitless powers; all he has in his possession is money and a brilliant mind. These are the tools he uses to fight criminals, and it will be no different when he faces off with the strongest man on the planet.
For those who have not read the Frank Miller graphic novels, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman created an armored suit along with other gadgets and weapons to fight Superman. From the leaked trailer, it is clear that this armored suit will be brought to life on the big screen. The armor can take a beating, but not for a very long period, so Batman will need other weapons to aid him in bringing Superman to his knees.
In reference to Frank Miller's work again, The Dark Knight had with him a powerful sonic wave weapon along with powerful electricity device. These could come in handy, but they might only prove to slow Superman down rather than stop him in his tracks.
The only way for Batman to truly put him down, is by getting his hands on Kryptonite. Now, we have heard that Lex Luthor has created Kryptonite and that Batman stole the formula and created his own. In our eyes, this is the only way he can defeat him because armor is not enough.
There's one key thing we should point out here. A few hard punches by Superman could be enough to break through Batman's armor, but probably not if he managed to get his hands on Kryptonian armor to create the suit.
In Man of Steel, General Zod and the other Kryptonians wore armor that Superman could not break. It is very much possible Batman to venture down this route, and it would be in his best interest to do so.
At the end of the day, this fight should not scare moviegoers. We believe after the smoke clears, there will be no winner, and no losers. Both men will shake hands and have a cup of coffee at the nearest Starbucks.
