Line 46:
*** This is because in Batman's comic, people are used to him being awesome. He doesn't need to be a ''[[Memetic Badass]]'' during these times. However, it's always nice to remind people in other comics just how awesome Batman really is.
** While it's not strictly canon, we do get to see Batman and Superman actually go at it in ''{{spoiler|[[The Dark Knight Returns]]}}''. The aged Batman uses x-ray activated homing missiles, a powered exoskeleton, sonic scramblers, acid-to-the-face, the tank version of the Batmobile (driven by Robin), a [[Crazy Prepared|synthesized kryptonite]] arrow (fired by the one armed Green Arrow), and the is helped by the Sun (source of Superman's power) being blotted out thanks to a recent nuclear blast (that Superman was caught in and not yet recovered from). {{spoiler|In the moment of victory, Batman's heart gives out and Superman wins by default}}
{{quote| (Batman's internal monologue): It's been far too long since you knew what it was to be human, Clark, to be vulnerable. I want you to remember this moment with my hands around your throat. I want you to remember the MAN who beat you.}}
*** Of course, it turns out to be [[The Plan]] {{spoiler|to cover his retreat from such a public crime fighting role}} anyways, but still.
** We get to see Batman kick the alien out of Superman with nothing but a Kryptonite ring [[Crazy Prepared|he always carries]] in ''Hush.''
